Whether a simple evening or a ravishing spectacle, events in our clients' homes are a favorite project at Word of Mouth. We love to match our style to that of the client, and design an event that is perfectly in tune with the client's personality and taste.

We're adept at figuring out how to make an event work in a space that may not be quite large enough for the number of guests expected. Tents can be added to the backyard, with extra seating tables. We'll plan for a good flow near food and bars. Lighting, cooling or heating, florals, entertainment and party favors add immeasurably to an event - and we have the best resources in Austin.

Case Study
Working with event planner Darla Novak of Impressions, Word of Mouth deployed our signature flair and eye for logistics and details to cater a 50th birthday bash for a local entrepreneur. Executing an outside event planner's vision is a specialty of Word of Mouth.

Photographer Kirk Tuck captured the fun and flavor of this large scale, but very personal event. The success of the party so perfectly showcased the private home's potential as an event space that the owner has converted it into a venue known as Austin 71.

The eclectic menu featured action stations arrayed around the grounds. Guests could wander and sample while enjoying classic blues by Jimmy Vaughn and Lou Ann Barton and a spectacular laser show.
