Jack was surprised! His friends and family had arrived at 7 PM to begin his birthday celebration at The County Line On The Lake.
The idea of having a mariachi for Jack’s birthday came weeks earlier.
I received a phone call from Jack’s wife, Vanessa. She explained that a mariachi band would be something her husband would not suspect and that it would compliment a fun and festive birthday celebration. She was given our information by Vanessa Miller, Director of Special Events for The County Line.
Vanessa Miller, Director of Special Events for The County Line, had suggested to her to call Mariachi Amor.
There were so many ideas I shared with her like starting at the beginning of the event to the middle of the event or just performing at the last hour of the event.
She decided to have us surprise her husband after they had dinner and right before dessert.
Sandy, the event coordinator for this event, helped us to make it a memorable surprise entrance as the guests were done eating and waiting for the dessert.
With the birthday dessert in route, Mariachi Amor followed. “Las Mañanitas” was the first song we played.
Jack was surprised! He had a huge smile on his face as we walked up to sing.
The guests sang along as we played “Happy Birthday To You.”
