“What do you get the guy who has it all or has done it all?” This was our primiary concern when we agreed to plan friend to Premier Kenny Burns’ birthday dinner.  Kenny is a “lifestyle specialist”, national ambassador to Grey Goose vodka, Atlanta V-103 DJ, celebrity and all around cool guy. This couldn’t be some stuffy, bland dinner party…we needed to blow this out of the water.

RSVP FOR A VIP:

Someone as high profile as Mr. Burns doesn’t text his friends to invite them to his birthday party, instead, he has gold coins with his face imprinted on them passed out. Boss.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!: 

Before any party planning happened, we needed a venue. Kenny is a trendsetter and lifestyle connoisseur, so we knew we couldn’t just pick any place in the city to hold his bash. We chose The Residences at the W Atlanta Downtown; a private penthouse with a gorgeous view of the city would set the perfect back drop for the evening.

ARRIVE IN STYLE: 

Everyone deserves to feel like a big shot on their birthday; what’s more big shot than arriving in a helicopter? Kenny and wife Jessica made their uber chic debut to The Residences at W Atlanta Downtown in a helicopter that landed on the roof. How’s that for “wow factor”?

DECOR:

Kenny wanted a dinner party fit for a king, so we decorated with rich, opulent colors to match his larger than life personality. We chose deep red, gold and black accents (think what the inside of the Palace of Versailles would look like) as our color scheme. A private seated dinner is an intimate occasion, so we knew we needed to add little touches to the penthouse space to make it feel welcoming. We changed out the fluorescent lighting in the foyer to glow at a red hue, decked the tables in gilded custom made centerpieces, monogrammed  ‘KB’ towels  to put in the bathrooms and had a custom painting portrait of Kenny hanging on the wall. Subtle touches are what really make any event pop.

LET THEM EAT CAKE!:

Let’s be real, the food and drinks at an organized event are, in the words of KB, CRUCIAL! Being that Kenny is the national ambassador for Grey Goose, it’s only fitting that Grey Goose’s Cherry Noir flavor was the specialty drink of the night.  Guests paired their cocktails with spicy Caribbean food and finished off their meal with a slice of white chocolate cake topped with vanilla ice cream.

 

Kenny and guests had an awesome time that night. Great food, great company, great ambiance. We were more than happy to help him bring in his birthday the fabulous way, after all, we are The Cadillac of Agencies.
