Vail Scavenger Hunt Proposal

October 24, 2020 by sfleckgrl

Whenever someone hires us to plan their perfect proposal I instantly know they are smart, thoughtful, romantic partners, and they have it together!  When Satish called us I asked him all about his now fiance, Tara, and he told me she would prefer a night time proposal when she’s looking her best, she loves true crime, their new kitten, games and activities, and Vail is very special to them because Satish told Tara he loved her for the first time in front of the martini sculpture outside of The Solaris. We pride ourselves on creating unique personal proposals, and Satish gave us so much detailed information to work with! A true crime proposal would have been so unique and personal for Tara, but even I couldn’t figure out how to make it romantic! I’m obsessed with true crime, and what I love about it is the mystery! Since Tara loves activities, and probably mystery if she’s like me, we came up with a scavenger hunt! Satish took this to the next level by inviting 14 of their closest friends and family members to surprise Tara! She had no idea any of them were coming! On the day of the proposal, Satish took Tara to Piney River Ranch, which is a 45 min. drive from Vail Village, to go hiking because he didn’t want his friends and family to have to hide in their rooms all day. Tara was suspicious because Satish hates hiking!

That night, Tara and Satish enjoyed dinner at La Tour, and then the first clue was delivered by Tara’s cousin, Beth. Again, Tara didn’t know any friends or family were in Vail!

The First Clue led the couple to Root and Flower, where Tara’s best friend, Alex, was waiting for them! You might be wondering how the couple didn’t notice the photographers.  Barry was pretending to be taking photos for Root and Flower’s website, and my assistant, Anne, was pretending to be his date! Toni and I stayed together and were very sneaky as well! We even changed our clothes half way through the scavenger hunt.

After the couple enjoyed drinks at Root and Flower, Alex read the next clue which led Tara and Satish to Sundae for ice cream. Tara’s brother, Justin, was waiting for them! I asked Justin to order a cone rather than a cup because the clue was made to fit a cone. 

The next clue led the couple to their adorable kitten, Milo!

The last clue led Tara and Satish to the proposal spot in front of the sculpture where Satish told Tara he loved her for the first time! Pro tip, if you’re proposing, don’t forget to get a special ring box for photos! Of course Satish thought of that!

I had Tara and Satish’s friends and family hiding around the corner, so they could all see the proposal, and then they revealed themselves! I started tearing up when Tara saw her mom!

After the proposal, there was an after party at Frost at The Sebastian where the couple was staying! Tara loves the hot chocolate that the Four Seasons makes, but due to covid, the Four Seasons wouldn’t make it ( which is why I didn’t include them in the scavenger hunt), so The Sebastian did a special hot chocolate bar for the after party! The couple’s friends and family members brought gifts! I didn’t even tell them to do that, and I didn’t know gifts were coming! I also have no idea where that Welcome sign came from! Those that couldn’t make it to Vail sent me congratulations messages, I made a video, and we played it at Frost. Even Milo joined the party. They trained him to walk on a leash!  While everyone enjoyed Frost, we did  the rose petal turndown for one last surprise.

Nobody Deserves to Enjoy Your Event More Than You.

Since 2015 Party Girl Events has been helping awesome clients plan and execute weddings and events that are smooth flowing and memorable. We've been everywhere from mountain tops to farms, from back yards to swanky ballrooms. We've worked through crazy snowstorms, fixed ripped bridesmaid's dresses, air brushed a sunburnt groom's forehead, and re-stacked wedding cakes on the fly. We love planning all events. It doesn’t matter how big or small, what the budget is, or how out of the box the vision. As long as you’re excited about it, then we'd love to be a part of it!

Posting some red, white and blue in honor of Presi Posting some red, white and blue in honor of Presidents Day! This is from a styled shoot @kelseyboothphotography and I were asked to do for Rocky Mountain Bride magazine at the Frisco Marina a few years ago. Speaking of styled shoots.... PSA for the wedding vendors who do them. They look incredible! Please be honest and let everyone know that the photos you’re  posting are from a styled shoot, and don’t imply that they are from real weddings. The problem is that my clients are seeing the shoots, and then they're telling me that they want the same thing for their weddings, but it's not always possible. This photo is the perfect example! The Frisco Marina is not a wedding venue, the table is set randomly in the woods, and the table top decor was borrowed from Gorsuch ( not a rental company, it would be very expensive to shop at Gorsuch for your wedding decor. Definitely recommend for your registry though, and maybe for the sweetheart table, and then you can keep the stuff forever). My point is, this is not reality! #throwback

This was one of the most romantic proposals we've ever planned!  Kari and Steven literally wrote a book together about "Becoming Beloveds," so the proposal backdrop was their favorite quote "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine," Song of Songs. We had Kari's favorite pastel flowers, and lots of rose petals just because Steven knew she'd love that! There were so many more sentimental details incorporated into this proposal, too many to mention on this instagram post, so check out our blog to see more. Link in bio!
Now that's a head table! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
