Premiere Events

What Premiere Events does

Premiere Events is a privately held, family-owned event rental company headquartered in Austin, Texas, operating four showrooms across Central Texas: two in Austin (South Austin at Menchaca Rd and North Austin/Metric Blvd in the Domain area), one in College Station (the former Party Time Rentals), and one in Conroe serving The Woodlands and North Houston. Since founding in 1998, the company has grown from a 12,000 sq ft operation with 11 employees to over 100,000 sq ft of showroom and warehouse space and 100+ team members, with a further 40,000 sq ft South Austin expansion under construction for 2026 completion.

The company rents event equipment and decor across a broad inventory spanning chairs, tables, tents, linens, china, glassware, flatware, furniture, staging, climate control, cooking and concession equipment, draping, and dance floors, plus custom fabrication services (vinyl wraps, custom fabric printing, custom flooring, monograms) and the House of Couture luxury linen sub-brand (formerly House of Hough, acquired December 2024). Revenue is earned through per-unit rental fees (e.g., chairs $1.50–$79, bars $95–$820, glassware $2.95–$3.15) plus custom-order quotes, delivery and setup labor, and tiered expedited order surcharges; transactions require a 50% deposit and are processed through showroom, phone, email, or virtual consultations rather than online checkout.

Premiere serves a horizontal customer base across wedding couples, social event hosts (birthdays, anniversaries, quinceañeras, bar/bat mitzvahs), corporate clients (SpaceX, Four Seasons Hotel Austin, Hotel ZaZa, The Woodlands Towers), educational institutions (LBJ School, Sam Houston State University), and professional event planners and DMOs. Distribution is direct-to-customer across the four showrooms, supported by Instagram, an email newsletter, and a live online chat feature, with a no-public-API, no-e-commerce ordering model. The company is co-founded and led by Delores Crum (President), Richard Crum (Co-Founder), Angela Nussel (VP, Administration), and Rick Crum (VP, Operations), and is explicitly positioned as one of the largest independently owned, family-operated tent and event rental operators in Texas.
