Jackson and Company

What Jackson and Company does

Jackson & Company is a privately-held, full-service luxury catering and event production firm headquartered at 707 Hawthorne Street in Houston, Texas, founded in 1981 by Jackson Hicks. The company operates under the parent holding entity Lexington Union LLC and serves a high-end clientele including US Presidents, Prime Ministers, Buckingham Palace, Fortune 100/500 corporations (Exxon, Shell, JPMorgan Chase, Tiffany & Co., Chanel, Tom Ford, Neiman Marcus), A-list celebrities, and leading cultural institutions (Houston Ballet, Houston Symphony, Houston Grand Opera, The Menil Collection, Museum of Fine Arts Houston, Rice University). Its service portfolio spans wedding catering, corporate catering, social/non-profit event catering, in-home celebrations, gifting services (custom gift baskets, cakes, desserts, limited-edition liquors), and preferred-caterer access to a curated network of Houston venues.

The company's core capability is culinary and hospitality execution: master chefs prepare farm-to-table and locally-sourced menus complemented by a veteran mixology team delivering classic and bespoke cocktails, with rigorously trained service staff providing white-glove on-site management from planning through execution. The product stack is delivered via a multi-entity corporate structure that includes event production (White Glove Productions LLC), rentals (Revelry Rentals LLC), and venue/concepts management (Hawthorne Concepts LLC and East River Concepts LLC), supporting the firm's positioning as a single-source provider for end-to-end luxury events. Technology integrations are limited to standard operational tooling — Tripleseat for event booking and management, plus Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity for website analytics.

Jackson & Company monetizes through customized, quote-based pricing per engagement, with billing described as multi-year contracts rather than published tiers. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales via dedicated event coordinators, supported by a multi-channel marketing approach spanning the company website, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, earned media in Houston publications (CityBook, Paper City Magazine), and email newsletter. All operations are concentrated in the Houston metropolitan area, with no disclosed geographic expansion, no public revenue figures, and no external funding.
