✨ A Truly Special Celebration… Susan’s 80th Birthday ✨
What an absolute pleasure it was to be part of such a beautiful celebration for Susan’s 80th birthday, surrounded by wonderful guests, laughter, love… and plenty of dancing 💃🕺
From the very beginning, Graham wanted a completely stress-free event — a day where he could simply enjoy every moment with Susan, their family and friends… and that’s exactly what we set out to deliver.
Starting with a complete blank canvas, Pink Pineapple created the entire event from the ground up — erecting an incredible 15 metres of gazebos, setting up BBQs, tables, chairs, and transforming the space with vibrant tones of yellow, orange and red to bring a real sense of warmth and celebration 🌼🔥
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Lake Viñuela, with glorious sunshine from 2pm right through to 10pm, it truly was a dream setting for such a milestone occasion ☀️
Guests were welcomed with a selection of six homemade canapés and sausage rolls, before moving into a relaxed BBQ feast:
🔥 BBQ & Canapés Menu
• Selection of 6 homemade canapés
• Homemade sausage rolls
• BBQ Chicken Kebabs with house marinades
• Slow-cooked Pulled Pork
• Homemade Gourmet Burgers
• BBQ Ribs

• Fresh salads & sides
• Artisan breads with olives & alioli
And of course… something sweet to finish 🍰
✨ Desserts
• Orange & Amaretto Tiramisu
• Lemon Posset with red berry drizzle & shortbread
• And a mountain of birthday cake to celebrate Susan in style 🎂
As the sun began to set, the atmosphere came alive even more with music from Mitch 🎶 — and what a joy it was to see so many guests up dancing into the evening, celebrating Susan in the most wonderful way 💛
Susan & Graham — you have the most lovely family, and it was an absolute pleasure working with you both. Thank you so much for trusting Pink Pineapple to deliver such an important celebration.
A huge thank you as always to my incredible team — Tammy Nash, Ilse Casira, Christina — and of course my ever-patient husband ❤️
Days like this are exactly why I love what I do… creating moments, memories, and bringing people together 🩷
Stay pink and stay sweet 🍍
