Tickets
One night a year, 400 women show up for each other and for the widows and bereaved mothers Watch Love Grow walks beside. Here's the whole evening, so you can choose the ticket that fits you.
General Admission · $25 · 6 to 9 PM
The whole room, the whole party. Beer, wine and bubbles. An abundance of elevated small bites from The Casey's Executive Chef Sam Diminich and the Beau Monde culinary team, served cocktail-style so you can mingle with a plate in one hand and a new friend in the other. Music, the silent auction, the raffle, the dance floor, and 399 women who are glad you came. Every sponsor keeps the door at $25 so nobody stays home over a ticket.
VIP Experience · $225 · 6 to 11 PM
Five hours, start to finish. From the moment you arrive: a dedicated VIP bar with specialty cocktails, a reserved VIP restroom, an elevated menu, and a curated gift bag valued over $125 waiting for you. At 9, when the main room says goodnight, 150 of us keep going. After Hours moves into the evergreen room with late-night bites and a bar that's all yours until 11. It's the night, and then the night after the night. Only 150.
Every VIP ticket includes everything in General Admission. VIP adds the bar, the bag, the room, and two more hours.

The evening
Friday, February 5. Here's how the night goes.
6:00 Doors open. Come hungry. Beer, wine and bubbles, and small bites from The Casey's kitchen moving through the room.
6 to 9 Galentine's. The whole room, the whole party. Music, the shop, the silent auction, the raffle, the dance floor, and a Love Shows Up moment all of us share together.
9:00 The main room says goodnight. General Admission wraps. If you're After Hours, this is where your night keeps going.
9 to 11 After Hours. 150 of us move into the evergreen room, the main bar and the patio, with late-night bites and a bar that's all yours.
11:00 Good night. Until next February.
The program inside the night is still taking shape. Love Drops hears the details first.
What your ticket does
Your $25 is the door. What happens once you're inside is the gift.
The raffle, the silent auction and the special experiences all benefit Watch Love Grow. Since 2025, Galentine's has raised more than $37,000 for them.
More Fun Is Coming!
Included with every ticket: the music, the food, the dance floor, the photo moments, and the silent auction.
Optional, if you feel like it: the raffle and a Mystery Box Shop. Never a surprise charge.
The full list lands in Love Drops first.
Want in?
This evening is built by women and businesses who want in: gift bag partners, pampering for our widows, sponsored experiences, silent auction items, or an idea we haven't thought of yet.
Tell us what you've got. We'll find the place where it belongs.
Coming From Out of Town?
Make a weekend of it. Where to stay, how to get here, what to wear, and what to do with a Saturday in Charlotte.
Come along.
Love Drops is how the people who care about what we're building hear what's happening first. Galentine's, the stories, the little extras, and whatever comes next. No noise, just us.
"I just wanted a space where nobody would feel alone." Year five, we're at The Casey. Come as you are. You belong here.
Love, Carla
