Everything you need to know about planning with The Hosting Studio.

1. What types of events do you plan or style?

We specialize in milestone celebrations of all kinds — including birthday parties, baby and bridal showers, dinner parties, brand launches, and intimate weddings. Whether you're hosting in your backyard or at a local venue, we help bring your vision to life with creativity and care.

2. Do you offer full-service planning?

Yes! Our services include event styling, design support, vendor coordination for weddings, and day-of setup for all celebrations. Each offering is tailored to your event’s needs, so you can enjoy the experience without the stress.

3. What’s included in your setup services?

Every event includes day-of setup by our team to ensure your celebration is styled and ready before guests arrive. We also include custom signage and display styling as part of our standard packages — no extra add-on required.

4. What areas do you serve?

We are proudly based in the Greater Houston area, serving Katy, Fulshear, Cypress, Sugar Land, The Heights, and beyond. Originally founded in San Francisco, we’re happy to travel for special events — just let us know your location and we’ll provide details and availability.

5. What is a Studio Spread?

Our Studio Spreads are beautifully styled grazing tables created to elevate your celebration. We currently offer:

  • The Sweet Studio – candy, desserts, and confections

  • The Savory Studio – charcuterie, pastries, dips, and more

  • The Little Studio – kid-friendly snacks, sweets, and playful styling

Each one is custom-styled to match your theme, guest count, and vibe.

6. Do you offer services for kids’ parties?

Yes! We love designing colorful, themed celebrations for little ones. From grazing spreads and décor to signage and playful touches, we make birthday parties fun, festive, and easy for parents to host.

7. How far in advance should I book?

  • Weddings: We recommend booking at least 8 months in advance to allow time for thoughtful planning and vendor coordination.

  • All other celebrations: Please book at least 4–6 weeks in advance to secure your date and allow time for custom preparation.

8. Can I customize my package?

Absolutely. We’ll work with you to personalize every detail — from your color palette and signage to your Studio Spread and styling elements. Our goal is to make each celebration feel uniquely yours.

9. Do you offer payment plans?

Yes! We offer flexible payment plans for most services. A non-refundable retainer is required to reserve your date, and the remaining balance is split into easy installments. We’ll go over your options during the booking process.

10. How do I get started?

Just send us a message or fill out our inquiry form with your event details — including your date, location, type of event, and estimated guest count. We’ll follow up to schedule a quick consultation and build your custom proposal.
