Celebrating a Fun-Filled 50th Birthday Bash in Northridge

If you're looking for the perfect way to celebrate a milestone birthday, let me tell you about the unforgettable 50th birthday bash we had in Northridge! It was cool since the week before, I did an  all English  50th  birthday  party in Livermore. It was everything you could want in a summer celebration—great vibes, delicious food, lively music, and of course, the perfect setting right by the swimming pool.

The party was a hit thanks to an amazing English and Spanish playlist that had everyone on their feet. Whether you were into reggaeton, or cumbia, or old school hip hop there was something for everyone. The music really brought the energy, and by the end of the night, people were already talking about planning their own summer pool parties.

But what really stole the show was the food! We had a taco man on-site making handmade tortillas fresh to order. As if that wasn’t enough, there was also a churro station where they made warm, sugary churros on the spot with ice cream—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It was the perfect sweet treat to enjoy poolside.

The party was set right in front of the pool, creating a relaxing, festive atmosphere. Guests danced.. There's just something magical about good music and amazing food shared among friends.

If you're planning a birthday or summer event in Northridge, this kind of poolside setup with great music and food is the way to go. Call up Black and White Affair for your milestone event.

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of being part of an unforgettable 50th birthday celebration at Dante Robere Vineyards in beautiful Livermore, California. Arriving about an hour and fifteen minutes before the festivities began, the vineyard was already bustling with energy and anticipation. The staff greeted me warmly and asked whether I’d be setting up indoors or outdoors—after a quick check with the event coordinator, it was confirmed that I’d be indoors for the main event.

Dante Robere Vineyards offers a gorgeous setting, and their outdoor patio was packed with guests enjoying wine and dinner under the spring sky. The organizers asked if I could run a speaker outside so the music could be enjoyed throughout the space—and of course, we made it happen!

The birthday honoree came prepared with a playlist packed with classics. We kicked off the evening with a mix of '80s pop for the dinner portion, setting a nostalgic and upbeat tone. Guests were swaying, smiling, and enjoying every minute of it.

As the sun set and the party moved back indoors, we transitioned into a full-blown '90s dance party. From hip hop to boy bands, the old-school jams had everyone on their feet, reliving memories and creating new ones.

It was a night filled with laughter, dancing, and great wine. Dante Robere Vineyards proved to be the perfect venue—its blend of rustic charm and modern amenities made it ideal for celebrating life’s milestones.

If you're looking for a Livermore winery to host a birthday party or special event, I highly recommend checking out Dante Robere. Great vibes, stunning views, and a team that truly knows how to help make magic happen.

We were outside for the celebration. I was prepared with many layers of clothing but the guests did have warming posts. I was surprised since some guests had short sleeve shirts. It was a disco themed party so many wanted to show their cute disco outfits. We had a very open format playlist.  A big portion of it was all dance music. We had some disco and a lot of 90s music on the list. There were a few country songs on the list so I made sure I got that on while the folks were eating. We did play some sing a longs during the dinner portion of the night. The caterers provided Mexican food. First time I saw the caterer dance and led with line dances. Anytime any 90s music came on he would jump on the dance floor and sing along with the words. It was a fun vibe through out the night. The goal was to play  as many  line dances as possible. Sometimes I only do like one to two line dances but we went through like 7 or 8 line dances. 

It was a very intimate party. The neighbors did ask to turn down the bass and we did and repositioned the speakers so it was not too loud for the neighbors.

For most locations, it is about keeping the music at a good volume till 10 then you have  to either turn it way down or take the party indoors. But the best best to have neighbors not complain is to invite the neighbors to the party or have a good relationship with them and notify them that there will be music going on.
