Jackson Durham Events

What Jackson Durham Events does

Jackson Durham is a Dallas, Texas-based full-service luxury event design house founded in 2009, specializing in bespoke weddings, private celebrations, and luxury brand activations. The company delivers end-to-end event production covering floral design, custom furniture, lighting, linens, ceiling treatments, ceremony installations, and tented venue builds. Operations are differentiated by an in-house fabrication capability and dedicated floral studio that allow the firm to retain full creative control rather than outsourcing execution to third-party vendors. The team is structured around specialized functional directors overseeing events, creative direction, builds and sourcing, floral, and operations.

The firm operates a coast-to-coast logistics network servicing destination events from Napa to Nantucket and Charleston to Jackson Hole, and claims international reach. Its go-to-market combines direct client inquiry with a B2B2C model built on long-standing partnerships with established event planning firms including Easton Events, Mariee Ami, Ash Event Co., H Three Events, Sara Fay Egan Events, and Haylie Paige Events. The company is privately held, led by partners Jacob Samson and Sara Garner, and has positioned itself as a trusted production partner to luxury houses such as Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier, Tiffany, and Prada, as well as to luxury venues including Sea Island, Four Seasons Napa Valley, Maidstone Club, and country clubs.

Revenue is generated through two streams: project-based full-service event design and production engagements (the core business), and rental fees from the Borrowed by JD division, which offers curated furniture and décor collections to clients nationwide via an online catalog and 48-hour rental period. The company does not publicly disclose pricing or financials; client engagement is initiated via direct inquiry through phone, email, and website form.
