The Backstory

In July 2019, we received a VERY special tour request. We often have couples touring Haue Valley before they are officially engaged, but this was a first…

Kyle booked a tour, and in the notes he asked if he could actually propose at the tour. Our first thought? Absolutely!

We quickly asked Kyle if he had lined up a photographer and videographer team to capture the special moment.

He hadn’t yet, and we quickly asked if we could help him out.

Thankfully Jess & Jenn Photography and Applause Weddings LOVED the idea and jumped at the chance to capture this special moment.

With the help of Elizabeth’s parents, Kyle pulled off an epic proposal.

No Frills. All Flavor.

“From the sawdust on the ground to the mounted taxidermy on the walls, Hunter is where modern Texans go to relive the turn of the 19th century. Their dishes are simple, hearty, fresh, and all-around delicious.”

Food Magazine

 

Best New Watering Hole

“By focusing purely on food and ambience, Hunter provides the authenticity of the Old West without the costumes and playacting of a themed restaurant. You can bring your cowboy boots if you want, but the humble and relaxed atmosphere asks that you come as you are.”

Hungry Times

 

Rebirth of the Saloon

“Ms. Blackburn has surprised us with her ability to turn pioneer staples into gourmet delights. Her signature cocktails are not merely couched in nostalgia, but are a genuine rebirth of western saloon classics.”

Austin Daily

 

 

Food Fit for Cowboys

"When your eggs are accompanied by the long-lost cowboy fry bread, you know you’re in for a treat. The cocktails are expertly crafted and the meals at Hunter are simple yet decadent. The only thing you’ll regret is not having a nap pod to jump into afterwards."

Flavor Profile Magazine

 

Best Sazerac Outside NOLA

“As a New Orleans native, I’m very particular about my sazeracs. The bartenders at Hunter know how to make the perfect, authentic sazerac. That’s just one example of the meticulous care Ms. Blackburn has put into her saloon/restaurant."

Creole Gourmand

 

Amazing Beer Selection

“Good food and cocktails are one thing, but this place had me sold with its twenty beers on tap. From your regular joes to your craft brew snobs, Hunter has something for everyone and brings the saloon life back to Texas. All they need now is a pianola.”

Chow Cowboy

 
 

A Suprise Fairytale Proposal

 

In June 2017 twelve top St. Louis area wedding vendors collaborated on a romantic photo shoot – with a twist. 

This photo shoot ended in a real surprise proposal.

 

 
 

An Unforgettable Engagement

Love stories are our favorites. Having the opportunity to play a small part in a real love story? Now, that's pretty special. 

Katelyn and Colton's story began in college and was made official with their unforgettable engagement in June 2017.  

Continue on for the behind-the-scenes story of this memorable and magical engagement created by a select group of St. Louis area wedding vendors. 

 

 

The Magic-making Vendor Team

 
 
 

The Backstory 

The models and now happily engaged couple, Katelyn Evans and Colton Drollinger, agreed to participate as models in a styled shoot after touring Haue Valley in April 2017 and securing their July 2018 wedding date at the venue just west of St. Louis.

“We had been collaborating with Applause Weddings on a concept of a styled shoot turned actual proposal,” said Kristin Binford, Managing Partner and Co-owner at Haue Valley. “When we met Katelyn and Colton and learned they were ready to reserve a wedding date, but weren’t yet engaged, we knew we had the perfect couple for the shoot.”

Binford learned that the photographers for the styled shoot, Sydney Pillitteri and Tony Kell of Chosen Photography, knew the couple through a friend, and that friend, Lyndsay O’Neil, was a cake designer and owner at Cake House Design. O'Neil also just happened to be the best friend of the bride-to-be. Quickly the pieces for the shoot fell into place.

The jewel-toned styled shoot was adorned with more than 1,800 roses, peonies, dahlias, and eucalyptus stems. The over-the-top florals and décor were meticulously styled by An Affair to Remember, a St. Louis based florist and rental company. As planned, the engagement came as a complete surprise.

 

The proposal

Colton knew Katelyn was the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with from their very first date. So when approached with the opportunity to surprise Katelyn with an over-the-top proposal carefully coordinated by some of the top wedding vendors in St. Louis, he jumped at the chance. 

"I wasn't familiar with the idea of a stylized shoot, but once I learned more about it I knew this was an incredibly special opportunity for the perfect proposal," said Colton Drollinger. 

Katelyn knew she was participating in a styled shoot as a model, so getting dressed up in a beautiful gown by Camille La Vie, and having her hair and makeup done by Sarah Hawthorne Hairstyles and Makeup by Helena, was already on the agenda. 

Colton was dressed in a gorgeous blue tux by The Black Tux and delivered the proposal flawlessly. 

"I was completely surprised and thrilled by Colton's proposal! Initially I just thought we were posing for the styled shoot, but when Colton got down on one knee, I knew this was real," said Katelyn Evans. "I was amazed at the effort that went into making our engagement so special."

The proposal took place on the Haue Valley farm just west of St. Louis, in front of a beautifully adorned floral halo brought to life by An Affair to Remember. 

The beautiful images showcased here were taken by Chosen Photography and the dramatic sneak peek video was captured by Applause Weddings.

 

 

THE AFTER PARTY

Following the engagement, Katelyn and Colton returned to the venue and were surprised by their closest friends and family.  

"After Colton proposed I asked if our family knew," said Katelyn. "Colton shared they knew the proposal was on the way. I was thinking about all of the phone calls we would have to make! I was incredibly surprised to come back to the venue and see the people I love most. Family is the most important thing to me and I'm so glad they were there to celebrate with us."

A very special moment came when Katelyn saw her grandpa. It has been years since he's left his home and often misses the opportunity to socialize.

"It meant the world to me that my grandpa was able to be there that day. I know that he was so happy to be there," said Katelyn.

The engagement party featured beautiful boutique furniture from Renown Rentals, a gorgeous sweetheart table by An Affair to Remember with handmade calligraphy by Yuth Co, and uplighting and the "She Said Yes" monogram by Applause Weddings. The showstopper of the engagement party was an ombre floral petal ring comprised of more than 1,200 roses by An Affair to Remember. 

"When brainstorming about the engagement shoot, John from Applause suggested a wide open shot of the venue with the couple dancing in the open space," said Jody Cox, Owner of An Affair to Remember. "I suggested we create a giant ring of rose petals. Collaboration and expanding on someone's original idea is part of the fun of these types of shoots." 

The party was capped off with delicious appetizers from Graze Catering, and an unforgettable cake and dessert bar by Cake House Design.

selecting Your venue - quick tips

Decide What’s Most Important

  • Is guest count, budget, or available dates at your favorite venue most important? Sometimes (more often than not), it’s challenging to find all three perfectly within your guidelines. If you determine what’s most important first, it will help you narrow your venue choices.

Remember You ARE Comparing Apples & Oranges

  • Comparing venues is challenging! Lots of reaching out, waiting for pricing and dates, and then the comparison of what’s included really begins. In many cases, looking at venue fee + catering cost + bar cost + decor combined will give you the best apples to apples comparison. If you simply look at the cost of the venue, you may not have a realistic comparison.

Read Reviews

  • Take the time to read reviews from real couples. Can you feel their heart for the venue in their reviews? Your wedding day is one of the only experiences in your life you don’t get a do-over, so learning from the experience of others is key.

Transparency Matters

  • If you have to work hard to get the basic details like pricing, dates, and FAQs from potential venues, sometimes that is an indication that they may be hard to work with during the planning process. We want to make the planning process easier - not more challenging here at Haue Valley.

We Hope You Love the PEOPLE at Your Venue

  • This one can sometimes be easy to overlook. You’ll be working with your venue for months or years! It’s important that you love the space, and just as importantly love the people who will be supporting you.

You Shouldn’t Feel Pressured

  • Choosing a wedding venue is an important decision. We want to make sure you at 100% confident in your decision. So dive into the site here, find answers to your questions, and if we are missing one - don’t hesitate to ask. We are here to serve and support you!
