Our signature style embraces bold, distinctive designs infused with a personal touch, creating events that reflect your unique vision. Using our own cultivated  project management systems, we can ensure a seamless process guided by clear communication and efficient organization.

The secret to our success lies in our team mentality—each member upholding the highest standards. From clean lines to meticulous attention to detail, we are obsessed with outstanding onsite execution. Our guest-centric approach, rooted in a deep appreciation for hospitality, ensures that every attendee experiences an event so remarkable that they can't wait to hire us when their special moment arrives.

Guests who experience a Happy Hour Hostess event feel the difference.

Sipping chartreuse and green tea while looking at the most perfect white subway tile and hand painted signs. Driving through the mountains to Portland reminiscing about the best memories back home. Cozy sweaters, vintage demin, and Pabst while telling one of a kind love stories. The trials and tribulations of love, joy, and happiness. Lastly, champagne brunch and avocado toast while surrounded by the finest exposed brick, dreamcatchers, and maps to our souls. Dreamcatchers, macrame and 100 Days of Summer. Anthropologie trips and walks on the beach, love letters and secret admirers. Fall breeze, flannels, and hot cocoa. Whales and dinosaurs and handmade crafts. Salvage denim, antique leather bags, and the first time we watched Moonrise Kingdom. 

The slow hum of traffic and the cool breeze that signify the joy of a new day.
