About Us
Our story
One folding table and a big idea
Tom spent years running logistics for touring concerts. Linda ran sales events for a Fortune 500 company. In 2011 they traded the road for a kitchen table in South Austin and started planning events for the neighbors they knew.
Word got around. Today Lone Star Event Co. is a team of eleven, with a rolodex of more than 40 local vendors, and the same promise we made in year one: you’ll always talk to someone who knows your name.
We’re proud to be family-owned, proud to be Austin through and through, and proud that most of our clients come back for their next event.

What we believe
How we work
Say it plainly
Clear quotes, honest timelines and no jargon. If something can’t be done, we’ll tell you early.
Keep it local
We hire Austin vendors first, from caterers to florists, so your event feels like Texas and your money stays here.
Sweat the details
Backup plans, certificates of insurance, load-in schedules. The unglamorous stuff is where events are won.
