Beef & Brew with a view!

Sip a beer from a mason jar, enjoy a crisp glass of wine, or stick with soda… whatever your poison it’s probably an option at the Rustler’s Rooste in Tempe Arizona. Enjoying a drink at the Rooste almost makes you feel removed from the hustle and bustle of the valley below you. The cowboy bar and restaurant sits atop a butte at the base of south mountain and provides one of the best views in the valley.
But if happy hour is not what you are planning, Rustler Rooste will still come through for you! The place can take parties of up to 1500 people!
I have been to both at the Rooste… fun happy hours with appetizers and beers as well as an elegant wedding with cowboy flair.
Did I mention the mouth watering steaks at this place?
No matter what the occasion, the indoor slide for lil’ cowboy’s and grown ups alike is sure to make for an event your friends and family won’t soon forget. Yes! I said slide... trust me it's fun!

Is it happy hour yet?

Do we really need a budget?!?

And the answer is YES! Your budget should be one of the first things you figure out when planning an event. That may be obvious to you... but many clients TRY to "just play it by ear. "
Let me explain why your budget should be the first thing on your list...
-Your budget will play a big role in the location of your event.
-Your budget will have an impact on the date of the event... some venues charge more for certain times of the year.

And of course there's the obvious... your food, drinks, decorations, etc... will all depend on your budget!

So... do all of the event planners (& yourself)in the world a favor.... Start with a budget! :)

**** Happy Budgeting!*****

Tempe's Pretty Little Secret....

This next post is very exciting for us here at Event Gals! Right now we are planning a VIP reception for 50 people... of course we are excited to plan the event but part of the excitement for us is in the venue! The VIP reception will be held on the 2nd floor cocktail patio at the Tempe Center for the Arts. The picture you see here really doesn't do TCA justice. So we will try to put it into words. We are just getting our hands into this project so details are still scarce. But after attending many events at the center, I can tell you all have been unforgettable.
The in house catering company is second to none! But nevermind the food when you are busy filling up on the magnificent view of Tempe Town Lake, Camelback Mountain, and the center's own reflection pool. Inside the TCA you will find a spectacular marble entrance, bright neon lights, and beautiful winding staircases. This multi-purpose venue has served as a spot for conferences, charity luncheons, weddings, and receptions. Soon you can add the Event Gals VIP reception to that list:)

The Tempe Center for the Arts is available for meetings, banquets and special events. For more information email us! eventgals@gmail.com


For now... happy event planning!

Make It Your Own

What ingredient is the most important to have a fabulous celebration? Your own personalized touch makes all the difference. That is what sets you apart from the crowd and make it much more memorable for your guests. So before you plan for any celebration ask yourself the following questions and write down your answers:

1. What colors best represent the mood I would like to set for this event?

2. How do I wish my guest to feel when they are there& what can I do to create an environment where this is felt?

3. What personal touch do I wish to add? It could be as simple as your favorite color, favorite food or your favorite font in the invitiations.

4. What realistic budget do I have to work with?

5. What do I most want this event to be remembered for?

It could be something as simple as having a fairy party for your little girl and incorporating her favorite colors & snacks. Or a wedding reception with your favorite candy at the table and your centerpieces representing what you value as a couple. The sky is the limit when you unlock the door of creativity.
