For the past few months, I’ve been trying to re-imagine Houston’s Happy Hour.
You know I haven’t focused much on the business lately, but even with all the distractions, I still know I want to keep the mobile bar experience. I may, however, be phasing out traditional catering.
I love to cook, and everyone loves my food — It’s hard when I’m working out of a smaller kitchen and trying to figure out how to provide for 150+ people. Especially trying to do everything as one person. So, I’ve decided to shift Houston’s Happy Hour into more of an event experience.
Maybe one day I’ll go back to full-scale catering, but for now, I’m leaving that part out. I can still do smaller parties, appetizers, grazing tables, specialty food experiences, and things that fit within the new direction, but I won’t be taking on large catering events.
That’s also where I’m bringing in my soup bar experience — something fun, cozy, unique, and different that can be incorporated into events without having to be a traditional caterer.
The concept of all of this really came from my love of hosting and creating. I love designing tablescapes, putting together extravagant decor or even simple, minimal setups, creating party favors, balloon arches, food and drink displays, and all of the little details that make an event feel special. I love the idea of taking someone’s vision and helping bring it to life.
And I can’t forget the event rentals — creating a collection of fun, useful, and unique pieces that people can rent to make their own events feel a little more special.
So instead of Houston’s Happy Hour simply being a mobile bar or catering business, I’m starting to see it as an event experience company.
A place where you can come to me for the bar, drinks, soup bar, small bites, rentals, decor, styling, entertainment pieces, or even a full experience built around your event.
I’m also dabbling with the idea of holiday pop-ups and immersive experiences — creating visions that actually come to life. From a cozy Winter Wonderland to spooky haunted house experiences, seasonal parties, themed gatherings, and everything in between.
I don’t necessarily want to just show up and serve food or drinks anymore. I want to create an experience people remember.
Houston’s Happy Hour is still evolving, but I think that’s the direction I’ve been trying to find all along — less about catering, more about creating, hosting, designing, and bringing people together.
And if you could see all of my ideas written down, it would probably look like absolute chaos 😂 But somehow, in my head, it all makes sense. I have SO many ideas, and I’m finally trying to figure out how to bring them all together under one vision.
