One of my BIGGEST pet peeves in the wedding industry? WATER. 💧🤦🏼‍♀️

We’re in TEXAS. It’s hot, people are drinking, and for the love of sweet tea, these guests need WATER!

And I cannot tell you how many times this exact situation plays out.

During consultations? “Please check with your caterer about water service.”

In our contracts? We specifically address water service and even offer dedicated water stations for an additional charge. Bot in budget? I suggest Costco 48 flat of waters in a cooler.

During our final wedding recap? “Just confirming, who is handling the water?”

And yet, somehow, someway, the caterers pack up, take the water with them, and suddenly 100 thirsty wedding guests are staring at the bartenders like we personally drained Lake Travis. 💀

And here’s what really gets me. We work HARD to make sure every detail is covered, every garnish is prepped, every cocktail is beautiful, and every guest has a wonderful experience. But when something outside our contracted services falls through, we’re the ones standing there looking unprepared.

Yet somehow, time and time again, guests end up at our bar asking for water because the caterer packed theirs up after dinner.

And guess who looks unprepared? 🙋🏼‍♀️

To my fellow caterers, we’re ALL in the service industry. If clients pay for water service, is it really fair to pack it up just as the party gets started?

Could we find simple solutions, like attractive disposable carafes left on tables?

We’re all working toward the same goal: an incredible guest experience, let’s follow thru on the services we get paid to do.
Please tell me I’m not alone on this.

What's your favorite kind of therapy? 🐮🤎

Mine has four legs, questionable manners, an outrageous feed bill, and absolutely no concept of personal space. 😂

For those of you who are new here, I thought I'd introduce myself and share a little bit of the story behind The Velvet Cow.

I'm a wife, mama of five, serial dreamer, lover of all things western and whimsical, and apparently a collector of animals who contribute absolutely nothing financially to this household.

I've always had a soft spot for Highland cows. Something about those shaggy bangs, sweet faces, and larger-than-life personalities just stole my heart.

So when I started dreaming up my business, The Velvet Cow Brews & Booze was born. A little western charm, a little luxury, and a whole lot of personality.

What I didn't realize was that this little business would eventually inspire a much bigger dream.

We traded our big house, familiar surroundings, and a whole lot of square footage for a smaller home on seven acres in North Texas. We wanted to be closer to family, give our kids room to roam, and build a life that felt a little more like us.

And somewhere along the way, the girl who named her business after a cow finally got her very own. 🐮

Of course, one animal turned into a few more, because apparently I have absolutely no self-control when it comes to cute things with hooves.

But here's what I love most.

The Velvet Cow started as a dream of building a business that brought people together. And somehow, that dream has brought our own family closer together, too.

Today we're growing beyond mobile bartending into coffee bars, catering, and all sorts of beautifully curated experiences. We're building something that we hope will be part of our family's story for years to come.

It's messy, it's chaotic, it's a whole lot of work, and some days I wonder what on earth I've gotten myself into.

But then I walk outside, see those sweet little faces, and remember exactly why we did it.

So welcome to The Velvet Cow. Where the drinks are beautiful, the dreams are big, and the animals are most definitely spoiled.

Now tell me, what's your favorite kind of therapy? Because mine apparently comes with a monthly hay bill. 😂🤎

It’s all the little details that make a wedding so special. 🤍

The inclusion of beloved furry little friends, the thoughtful touches in every table setting, the love poured into months of preparation and planning, and even the friends who helped dream up the perfect signature cocktail menu graphics.

It’s the personal touches, the sentimental details, and the stories behind them that make each celebration so uniquely yours.

These are the moments that remind us why we love what we do. Being invited to play even a small part in such a meaningful day is something we never take for granted.

Congratulations, Kenzie & Cole! 🥂🤎 Thank you for letting The Velvet Cow be a little part of your love story.

Sometimes, the simplest celebrations leave the biggest impressions. 🤍

A backyard wedding, the sweetest people, and a whole lot of love. There’s just something about the intimacy of a celebration like this that hits a little differently.

It wasn’t about the grand details, but the meaning behind every little one. From cocktails lovingly named after Pappi to the delicate cherry blossoms honoring a precious baby girl gone too soon. 🌸

Every detail told a story. Every sentimental touch had a purpose. And every corner was filled with love.

These are the weddings that remind us why we love what we do. Because at the end of the day, it’s never just about the drinks. It’s about the people, the stories, and the memories we get to be a small part of.

Thank you for allowing The Velvet Cow to share in such a beautiful, deeply personal day. We were truly honored. 🤍

A little backyard magic and a whole lot of heart. 🥂

We traded 3,500+ square feet for less than 1,600.

More house for more land.
Clean floors for muddy boots.
Perfectly kept kids for dirty feet, tangled hair and days spent outside.
Convenience for acreage and a little town called Springtown. 🤎

And somewhere along the way, we realized that having less was giving us so much more.

More fresh air. More animals. More room to wander. More time together. More connection. More community.

And funny enough, The Velvet Cow has been growing right alongside us.

What started as a little creative outlet has slowly become something that feels woven into this chapter of our family’s life — serving people, showing up at celebrations, meeting our new community, dreaming up what comes next and, of course, collecting a few more four-legged members of the Velvet Cow family along the way. 🐮🐑

Our house is smaller.
Our kids are dirtier.
There’s hay in places it absolutely does not belong.
And our dreams somehow got bigger.

For a long time, “more” meant a bigger house, more things and more convenience.

Now?

More looks like acreage.
Animals at the fence.
Kids coming inside covered in dirt.
Building a family business.
Knowing our neighbors.
Creating something our children can be part of.
And finding a little more purpose in a much simpler life.

Turns out, less really can be more.

This is our simple life.

And I have a feeling this is only the beginning of The Velvet Cow. 🤎🐮
Stay Tuned.
