una (relajada) fiesta de bienvenida (al más puro) estilo "Wild West".
Relajada allows itself to come before the noun, unlike "informal" which wd have been my first choice - I was worrying about how the rest of the sentence would pan out.

My mistake: it´s not Wild West, but Old West, as Silvia has just pointed out to me. But that expression doesn´t work without translating. So her suggestion below seems a good idea: *estilo antiguo Oeste*

: En realidad no es del Wild West, es del 'Old West' simplemente... /A lo mejor pudieras poner, estilo antiguo Oeste?/Gracias, guapa, con o sin agua...

Hoedown de Bienvenida
Hoedown no tiene traducción pues es el nombre que se le da un tipo específico de baile. Por ejemplo, nadie baila el Papas Majadas sino el "Mash Potato". Tampoco se baila el torcido sino el "Twist".
Podría decirse: "Baile de Bienvenida" pero entonces no se define qué tipo de baile.

Fiesta de bienvenida con baile al estilo del viejo oeste
It is more than a translation. It is a cultural-context word. I recommend you to add a Translation Note to make understable the full content.
Do you know that the origin of the word comes from AfroAmerican dances in the 19th?
Now it is a pure west and folk event.
