We’re throwing it back to the 80’s on Saturday, October 4th from 7–10pm and you’re invited to the party!
Here’s what you can expect…
🎧 A live DJ spinning all the 80’s hits (and other hits)
🍰 Sweet desserts (on us!)
🍹 Cash bar available
👗 Dress in your best 80’s attire (prize for the winner!) or simply wear whatever feels comfortable
We’ll wrap up Saturday’s afternoon session at 3pm, giving you plenty of time to relax, hit the pool, enjoy a date-night dinner, and then join us for a night of music, laughter, and dancing.
We can’t wait to see you on the dance floor!
Just a Little Reminder: 📸 We’ve had so much fun seeing your couples’ photos, and wow—what an incredible group we have coming! If you haven’t sent yours in yet, we’d still love to see it.
