How it works

  1. Tell us about the party.

    Pick the kind of party, the date, the guest count and your budget. It takes about two minutes.

  2. We find Houston vendors.

    We send your request to up to 3 vendors near your venue and bring you their quotes.

  3. You compare and book.

    Quotes come back side by side. Your number stays private until you choose a vendor.

  4. We keep it all straight.

    Your budget, payments and due dates stay in one place, all the way to the party.
