There was a massive tent outside of the Obama's family lavish $12 million home for the party

The layout was stunning - and took place outside of the famed politico’s home in a massive open-air white tent. Guests hung out inside the tent and in the backyard, and there were heat lamps where guests could keep warm, and chic white side tables alongside woven lounge sectionals and wooden chairs.

Stunning floral arrangements were also set up inside of the tent, which had a massive dance floor. Strings of white lights were also placed around the tent and there was purple lighting inside. 

The luxury even extended to the bathroom, where guests were treated to amenities including antiperspirant wipes, lint rollers, and hand sanitizer sprays. 

The Attendees

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend were among the list of attendees

Although celebs appeared to adhere to the rules and didn’t post photos of themselves inside of the event, Chrissy shared a video of herself walking down a white staircase in a flowy white dress after the party singing Happy Birthday. "Well that was magical. goodnight Martha’s Vineyard. I have fallen in love with you hard!!," she captioned it. 

Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Tom Hanks, George Clooney, Gayle King, were just a few of the other reported stars in attendance.

Guests enjoyed cocktails from full bars, including signature Bulleit Bourbon Smores cocktails, and there was a Ketel One espresso martini bar on hand too. In a video posted on Instagram, a masked bartender could be seen creating Smores cocktails and toasting a marshmallow with a blowtorch. There also appeared to be cigars up for grabs at the bars. 

DJ Trap Beckham posted several images of the food that was served, which included plates of sauteed shrimp, steak, and chicken, and brownies for dessert among other sweet treats. 

Guests were also privy to ingredients to create Mexican hot chocolate, with pieces of dark chocolate and chilis on deck. 

Napkins, plastic cups, and paper masks were emblazoned with 44X60 in gold foil in honor of the 44th president’s 60th birthday.
