Hannah's Sweet 16


WOW! There's nothing like celebrating a Sweet 16 Birthday ~ CARNIVAL Style!! From the Red Carpet entrance to the Photo Booth beyond the Party Room, this party will never be forgotten! I am so grateful to the event specialist who worked on this event with me. Thank you so much for helping me create such a fun event.


Miss Hannah ~ Happy Birthday!!
The Red Carpet entrance (ok, ok, it was purple! ) was a perfect welcome and photo opportunity for Hannah's 115 guests. The Samba Dance Troupe greeted the guests upon arrival with the beating of thier drums and the authentic Brazilian dance styles. Dinner was ready as soon as the VIP, Hannah and her guests entered into Rio Grill. The food was AMAZING! And so much of it!
As dinner was over, the Samba Dance Troup danced about the guests and especially, Hannah.
They were so energetic and their costumes beautiful! The Troupe finished with a parade that led the guests outside the building and back in ~ yes the drums are very loud and we drew quite the crowd!!


Hannah and her Mother, Brenda D. Lavell, our gracious host.

Red Velvet . . . need I say more?! Well, maybe Laura's Specialty

I love this addition to the cupcakes Little details
make a huge difference!

Who doesn't love the candy table???

These people can make some NOISE!!!!


Hannah had a blast dancing with the Troupe.


The back room of the Rio Grill was a surprise to the guests and dubbed "The Party Room"! As we unveiled the curtain guests entered the room that Janice at Town & Country drapped in Hot Pink, Eggplant and Lime. The room sparkled from the lighting cast onto the jeweled chandelier. Todd Henry from AMS wasted no time getting the party started!!! Our photographers, Craig & Jeff pulled double duty with the Grand Entrance photos and the Party Booth Photos! SO FUN!!





Another great event, thanks to all the fantastic event specialists! Thank you!!!
