Valentine’s Soirée at the Painted Pig

Video by Lisa, Thank you!!

We hosted an unforgettable evening in collaboration with The Painted Pig, bringing the spirit of W.E. Saloon alive in our town. It's with deep gratitude that we thank our community for their overwhelming support, our fantastic W.E. Saloon team, and the incredible crew at The Painted Pig.

Photos and set design by the Fabulous Jaymeson who was also one of my creative consultants and makers for the whole event.

As guests arrived, they were greeted with an Old West Vignette, perfect for capturing timeless photographs. We ensured that these memories were not only captured but treasured, by printing the photos and framing them on-site.

Adding to the enchantment, an exquisite bloom bar awaited, allowing guests to craft their own beautiful bouquets of flowers.

Throughout the evening, we infused the spirit of fun and spontaneity with rounds of Truth or Dare, fostering engagement and creating unforgettable moments. The ambiance was further elevated by the playful tunes of our talented musicians, who serenaded guests.

Thank you to Tony, Seth and Kade with their amazing crew at the Painted Pig for the exquisite food and service!

Guests indulged in a meticulously crafted five-course meal, designed to surprise and delight the palate at every turn. We were thrilled to see so many guests fully embracing the theme, dressing to the nines and adding to the whimsical atmosphere.

To end the evening, a gift filled with locally made crafts from Mark Burrows of Pollinator Chocolate, Antoinette Yarrow, Julie Devilbiss, Hamilton’s Mushrooms and Melissa and Suzanne or High Mountain Medicinals. And a card with love for love written by yours truly.

What ensued was a night of joy, laughter, and romance—a perfect blend of playful entertainment and intimate dining. We couldn't have asked for a more magical evening, and we're grateful to everyone who made it possible. Here's to many more unforgettable moments in the future!

Here I am with Lisa who played my right had woman sitting to my left! She helped with every aspect of design and curation.

Thank you all for creating magic with me, let’s do it again!

Love, Rachelle
