When was the last time you went out for a date night? A real dress-up-signature-cocktail-photo-op date night. We’re talking anything from a good ol’ fashioned ladies night to a romantic date with your bae (do people still use that term?!). If your answer was any date that you could remember (Valentine’s Day doesn’t count!), you’re winning at life! Congratulations. If, like most of us, your answer was something like, “when was the last time I went out for anything remotely like a ‘date night’?” then read on!

We had a unique opportunity to create our Overeasy Date Night concept when East End Market, our beloved home, announced that they were going to be hosting an event called Evening Exchange (#EvEx). This (genius) concept brought locals together to experience the magic of East End’s vendors – crafts, cuisine, cocktails, and more! Since we’re proud to call East End home, we decided that we wanted to offer guests a special opportunity to learn more about our event planning services as well. How could we help guests to see what event planning is all about in just a few minutes? Light bulb moment – the #OvereasyDateNight was born.

It’s really pretty simple, actually. We were determined to help guests unplug and unwind in a beautiful, elegant environment to mirror that one-of-a-kind date night feeling: no stress, delicious food, a flirty cocktail, and a picture to prove that you got dressed up and left the house! All of that, for free, in 10 minutes. And guess what?! We loved it. You loved it. Everyone loved it! We had young married couples, best friends, and everyone in between sign up to participate in our first Overeasy Date Night. Thanks to our incredible vendor partners (listed below), we were able to provide guests with a few luxurious moments to forget about work, anxiety, school, and anything else that might have been on their minds when they arrived. All they had to worry about was the decision between a glass of bubbly or the signature cocktail of the evening, something tasty and mysterious called Pretty in Pink.

The best part? There was no catch. Sure, guests heard a little bit more about Overeasy Events – who we are, what we can offer – but they were under no obligation to sign on any dotted line! Instead, we were able to show them, firsthand, what’s most important to us as doers, dreamers, and designers: a celebration that left guests leaving with a smile.

To our dear friendors (friend + vendors, obviously): THANK YOU! You all made this night incredibly beautiful, delicious, and fun. You added the pops of color, the personalized details, and some laughs along the way. Event planning would be lackluster without the partners whose details come together to build the party of peoples’ dreams!
