Poppin Social Scope

Before You Ask

You might be wondering.

How far in advance should we start planning?

We recommend reaching out at least four to six months prior to the date to secure top tier vendors and custom builds.

Do I need to manage the vendors on the day of the event?

Not at all. Our team handles all vendor coordination and day of management from load in to final load out.

Poppin Social Experience Story: Fabulous at 50

Poppin Social Experience Architecture

Poppin Social transformed a private Houston residence into a sophisticated venue for this black and gold milestone celebration. Our team coordinated the agreed scope of this experience architecture project, from the dramatic balloon installation at the entrance to the full catering coordination. Guests enjoyed an exquisite menu featuring mini crab cakes and braised short ribs followed by a decadent birthday cake. This fabulous 50th birthday showcased how expert coordination can elevate a home setting into an meaningful experience with custom signage, premium rentals, and professional staffing for a seamless evening.
