Love Notes Gallery Cocktail Party

Sat, Feb 15
Burlington City ARts, Burlington, VT

We gave zaddy energy for Valentine’s Day, taking over every floor of the BCA Church Street gallery. We served glamour vibes and popped up our beloved craft cocktail Love Bar amongst the art installations.

And of course, we made it the most talked about party in town, with huge, artful food displays inspired by famous love notes, and adorable passed bites. Guests ate a fulfilling meal while perusing the gallery and relishing each other’s company.

Guests delivered with their fancy cocktail attire—splipping on the suit and sparkles.

This sexy soiree was in tango with the Vermont Symphony Orchestra, with our party fueling the short walk to the VSO concert at the Flynn just around the corner that evening.
