Annual Birthday Celebration for Michelle Turner & Khayla Floyld

Tuesday, December 19th, 2025

Friends Kitchen & Cocktails

3815 S George Mason Dr, Falls Church, VA 22041

The celebration that set the standard last year is back: bigger, bolder, and more unforgettable than ever. Join us as we honor Michelle Turner & Khayla Floyld with an evening of elegance, energy, and unmatched vibes at Friends Kitchen & Cocktails , Northern Virginia’s premier destination for fine dining and nightlife.

Last year’s event was nothing short of legendary: a sold-out night filled with laughter, music, incredible food, and a packed dance floor that carried the party into the early hours. Many who waited too long to secure their tickets were left on the outside looking in  (a reminder that this is truly the event of the season).

This year, we’re raising the bar. Begin the night with a chef-crafted dinner experience inside Friends Kitchen’s stylish dining space, followed by an after party where music, cocktails, and celebration flow seamlessly until doors close. Expect a perfect mix of sophistication and high-energy fun, with premium bottle service, handcrafted cocktails, and a curated soundtrack that keeps the night alive.
