The Crush Collective

Sunday, March 16

​The Crush Collective is happening this Sunday from 1-5pm. This group of Boise locals is all about marrying couples with heart-focused creatives who want to vibe with you rather than sell you on a product or service. Chat face-to-face with local vendors who are ready to help you create your dream wedding experience, whatever that means to you. Tix are only $15, or 5 for $45 if you want to bring the whole crew.

Here’s what Alex Owens, founder and ambitious af small business owner has to say, "We’re in the creative industry because we want to be that - creative - not because we want to reverse engineer an algorithm."

While weddings and marriage are fundamentally traditional, The Crush Collective will show you just how insanely innovative both of those things can be when you’re in the right room with the right people.

You might be wondering, “Is this show just for couples looking to get married?” Nope! It’s an immersive event for those looking to connect with creatives and be inspired by our beautiful community. Married. Engaged. Once married. Single. Or undisclosed. This show is for everyone. We all deserve love, no matter our status :)

Dreaming of owning your first home?

Picture this: you, a cold beer, and a team of pros ready to teach you everything you need to know about buying your first home. Sounds too good to be true? It’s not!

After three years of searching for homes, I finally went to a Hops 'N Homes class. One month later we were closing on our first home. I couldn’t believe it! I highly recommend the class for anyone who is dreaming of buying their first home in the Treasure Valley.
Join Hops 'N Homes next free class on Thursday, March 20 at Barbarian Brewing (21+) in Downtown Boise. You’ll learn everything you need to know about buying your first home and more.
