OUR STORY

about succulent bar

With over a decade of experience in the dynamic world of event planning, I’ve always been driven by a simple yet profound belief: every moment is an opportunity to create lasting memories.

It’s this philosophy that led me to embark on an exciting entrepreneurial journey, founding Succulent Bar Events & Gifts in 2017, a company dedicated to crafting unique experiences and thoughtful gifts that leave a lasting impression.

As a seasoned event planner, I’ve had the privilege of orchestrating countless gatherings, from intimate celebrations to large-scale corporate events. But it was my love for nature and creativity that inspired me to venture into a new realm of experiences.

Combining my expertise in event planning with a passion for plants, I launched our signature offering: in-person and virtual succulent planting experiences. These immersive events bring people together to connect, create, and cultivate bonds while nurturing their own green thumb.

MEET THE OWNER

hey there, i'm jess!

I’m a Texas-living, plant-loving, wife and mama of two with a deep rooted love for creating unique experiences for our community. I started working in events in my early 20s. From wedding planning to corporate events and concert production, I’ve done it all. My many years of event planning combined with my studies in interior design brought me to where I am today.

While I am the “visionary” behind it all, I wouldn’t be anywhere without my loving and supportive co-founder, Marcus, who just so happens to be my husband. Marcus is the man that keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes. He is our bookkeeper, our muscles, and our biggest cheerleader. Before coming onboard with Succulent Bar full time, he worked over twenty years in the Environmental and Oil & Gas industry. We absolutely love what we do and at the end of the day we do it for our community and our two sweet children, Noah and Emma. (Emma is probably one of the only two year olds on the planet whose first few words were “succulent” and Noah is so proud of his family’s business!)

We are honored to serve this amazing community and are so blessed by all of the wonderful opportunities that come with it!
