About Houston's Happy Hour

Houston's Happy Hour

Owner/Founder/Lead

Back in 2023, I wanted to put my passion for cooking to use, so I started a weekly meal plan service for family and friends. Each Friday, I created a new menu with two recipes—a meal and a soup—which became a big hit! As I grew, I began offering catering services, from small luncheons of 15 to weddings with 80 guests. Although I do most of the cooking myself, I get help from my mother, Heather, and my boyfriend, Alex. Initially, I had three jobs, including bartending at a local bar, which I loved. This inspired me to offer my mobile bar service, starting in March 2025.

Creativity in menu planning is my hallmark. I take pride in crafting unique menus tailored to your preferences, and I always provide a complimentary copy for your review. Operating solo, I have successfully managed events with over 50 guests, ensuring a personalized and exceptional experience every time.

Sample catered weddings

At a recent wedding, the brides-to-be envisioned an Italian-style buffet. With a major food allergy requiring us to avoid butter and MSG products, I was inspired to get creative. Every ingredient used to add flavor was fresh and natural. The end result was a beautiful buffet that the brides adored, and the guests couldn't stop raving about. It was a truly rewarding experience to be part of such a special day.

    Where do I even begin? Houston and her team at Houston’s Happy Hour are absolute rock stars! From the moment we first spoke, I knew we were in great hands. Houston has this incredible way of making you feel like you’re her only client—she listened to every idea, offered fantastic suggestions, and helped bring our vision to life in a way I didn’t think was possible. The food? Out of this world. Every single dish was a hit, especially the chicken marsala. You can tell Houston pours her heart and soul into every recipe because the flavors were nothing short of magical. Our guests are still talking about it! But what really sets Houston apart is her warmth and attention to detail. She and her team didn’t just cater the event—they elevated it. From the seamless setup to the way her staff treated every guest like royalty, they made the entire day stress-free and unforgettable. If you’re looking for someone who truly loves what they do and takes as much pride in your event as you do, Houston is your person. She’s a gem, and I can’t wait to work with her again. Thank you, Houston, for making our day so special!

    Houston's Happy Hour was a wonderful catering choice for our wedding. From the beginning, their communication was prompt and they were on time for all of our meetings. On the day of the wedding, they set up all the food items perfectly and the quality was great - the hot food was delicious. They also cleaned up efficiently afterwards, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day without worrying about the catering. We highly recommend Houston's Happy Hour for their professional, reliable service and great value.
