House of Hough

What House of Hough does

House of Hough, founded in 2005 and headquartered in Houston, Texas, is a luxury table linen rental company that supplied napkins, tablecloths, chargers, and draping for weddings, galas, and corporate events. The company's core product is a hand-sewn linen collection featuring curated textures, timeless patterns, and contemporary statement pieces, differentiated from commodity linen rentals by couture-level finishing. Prior to 2024, House of Hough operated as an independent entity serving event planners and couples in the Texas market.

In December 2024, House of Hough was acquired by Premiere Events, a Texas-based event rental operator with four showrooms across Austin, College Station, and The Woodlands. Following a one-year transition period during which House of Hough operated as a separate entity, the brand was fully integrated and rebranded as House of Couture in 2026. The combined collection merges House of Hough's table linens with Premiere Events' limited-edition couture line, now sampled and sold across all four Premiere showrooms. Linens are available as standalone orders or bundled with Premiere's broader rental inventory including tents, furniture, chairs, flatware, glassware, and decor.

The company generates revenue through one-time rental and sale transactions, priced via quote-based inquiries rather than publicly disclosed pricing. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, relying on Premiere Events' showroom presence (with hours Monday-Friday 9AM-5PM and Saturday by appointment), the premiereeventsonline.com website, and the @premiereeventstx Instagram account for marketing and customer acquisition. The company employs 11-50 staff, is privately held, and operates exclusively within the Texas market.
