It featured a glittering A-list guest list with one attendee arriving via helicopter which touched down on the grounds of Coleen and Wayne’s home.
Among the arrivals was Irish footballer Darron Gibson as well as singer Dermot Kennedy.
The WAGs were all out in force with Peter Crouch’s model wife Abbey Clancy and Kyle Walker’s wife Annie Kilner both in attendance at the luxe Cheshire bash.
Kaya Hall was also spotted pulling up to the house alongside her partner, footballer, Phil Jones.
Real Housewives star Tanya Bardsley is also thought to have headed to the party as she showed off her getting ready process before the bash.
Wayne is believed to have pulled out all the stops in order to ensure Coleen had a special day and even booked A-list entertainment for the evening – with speculation rife that Westlife sang for the guests.
An insider told the Mirror of Coleen’s big day: “Coleen parties like a good northern lass.
“She’s a very normal girl at the end of the day – she just likes a good time and having fun. It will be epic.”
Earlier in the day, preparations were in full swing, as an outdoor seating area with additional toilets were seen on the front lawn of the sprawling family home.
Workmen were spotted last weekend erecting the large structure at the couple’s £20million Cheshire mansion, with more workmen seen working on the marquee and additional structures today.
With the sun shining over the lavish pad, workers were seen unloading a lorry.
They were likely adding finishing touches to the outdoor structures and making sure everything was ready for tonight’s bash.
Some of the celebrations will take place now, and some later on in the year.
Mum-of-four Coleen previously confirmed that more than one event is planned to toast turning 40.
The I’m a Celebrity star told OK! magazine: “I’m looking forward to it.
“I love a birthday and a celebration.
“I have decided to enjoy a couple of different celebrations with family and friends over the year and with my birthday falling over Easter weekend, some friends are away — so any opportunity to extend the celebrations.”
On the morning of Good Friday, which happens to be Coleen’s actual birthday, her husband Wayne paid tribute in a sweet way.
Wayne took to social media to mark the milestone with a series of sweet throwback snaps and gushing caption.
Wayne penned: “Happy 40th Birthday to the best wife and mum we could wish for.
“We can’t wait to celebrate with you and love you all the world.”
The photos were of Coleen and Wayne over the years, looking smitten and all loved up.
Some snaps were from sun-soaked holidays and festivals, others of them at Wimbledon, and additional photos of the couple with their four sons.
Fans flocked to the comment section to wish Coleen a happy birthday, with some mentioning the sweet array of snaps.
“Happy 40th Birthday Coleen enjoy celebrating,” penned one.
“Happy birthday to the original wag. You are an inspiration,” added another.
