Montecito's Coral Casino: Nightclub and 40th Birthday Party

We created a fabulous cocktail lounge at Tydes Restaurant in Montecito's famous Coral Casino overlooking the blue Pacific and the setting sun. It was the night before the "supermoon," so the evening sky was spectacular, especially through the dramatic cloud formations. The cocktail party was followed by a raucous nightclub in the club's courtyard. The entire area was surrounded by diaphanous white curtains, uplit in fuschia, with the awesome DJ Mike Ober keeping guests on their feet. It was an unforgettable night for both our client and all of his guests who had flown in from around the country!

"Thanks so much for everything; our party was perfect!! It was so nice to have everything so well-organized and well-planned; every design detail and decision was perfectly executed and better than the next. We can't wait for you to plan our next party! Thanks again for everything. You and your colleagues are truly talented, wonderful hosts!"

Child's First Birthday Party in Montecito, CA

This adorable event was a lovely first birthday party at an estate in Montecito, CA with a Valentine's Day theme. The party consisted of a lovely afternoon tea, arts and crafts, and an old-fashioned marionette show followed by cake and other treats on the verandah. It was a magical afternoon for both the children and their parents, high up in the foothills overlooking all of Montecito down to the ocean and the Channel Islands.

Merryl planned the perfect party for my daughter's first birthday...from the first idea meeting to the day of, working with Merryl was a joy! Guests said it was the most elegant children's party they had ever been to...and Merryl Brown's eye, flair for special touches and passion for perfection helped make it a day I will never forget.
