Corporate programs, private celebrations, and weddings — Houston event planning run by someone who spent eight years in oil and gas supply chain before deciding logistics was more fun with flowers involved.
I work seamlessly across a wide variety of Houston event venues, including Downtown luxury hotel ballrooms, private estate grounds, corporate headquarters, convention spaces, and historic museum sites.
Houston event planning has been my work since 2009. I’m Moon — Momo to nearly everyone — and I plan corporate programs and conferences, private celebrations, and weddings.
I got here from an odd direction. Eight years in oil and gas doing supply chain work and SAP, then twelve years building an event planning company, a catering operation, and a tapas wine bar in Midtown. Which means I think about your event roughly the way I used to think about a supply chain — timelines, vendor contracts, load-in windows, staffing ratios, and what happens when something doesn’t show up.
Design matters, and we’ll get it right. But events rarely fall apart over the flowers. They fall apart because registration backed up, the room flip ran twenty minutes long, or catering came for 200 when 260 registered.
That’s the part I’m good at.
Conferences, annual and sales meetings, executive dinners, product launches, galas, fundraisers, holiday parties, board retreats. Including programs for Fortune 500 clients. If your team has a procurement process, insurance requirements, and a PO system, none of that will be a surprise.
Milestone birthdays, anniversaries, engagement parties, showers, graduations, cultural and religious celebrations, and intimate seated dinners. Having run a catering company and a wine bar, small and very good is a comfortable ask.
Full planning, partial planning, and day-of coordination. Deep experience with South Asian weddings — multi-day sequences, large guest counts, and the logistics most planners have never handled.
Moon Jamaluddin spent eight years in Houston’s energy sector managing supply chains before taking those logistics skills into events. Over the past 17 years she’s built a full-service planning and catering company, opened a wine bar in Midtown, and run everything from twelve-person dinners to multi-day productions for thousands. Corporate discipline, and someone who’s actually worked the service side.
Detailed mapping of event flow, transportation, load-in schedules, and setup details for seamless execution.
Seamless communication with venues for floor plans, technical requirements, insurance compliance, and load-in access.
Creating comprehensive run-of-show schedules for clients, vendors, and production teams down to the minute.
Managing vendor contracts, deliverables, communication, and on-site setup performance

Three things get us started: the date, the type of event, and roughly how many people. We’ll come back on whether we’re a fit and what working together looks like.
A planner works with you over months — budget, vendor selection, design, logistics. A coordinator comes in near the end, reviews what you've already booked, builds the timeline, and runs the event itself. The simplest test: if you want help deciding, you want a planner. If you've decided everything and want someone else executing, you want a coordinator.
Three common models: a flat fee for a defined scope, a percentage of total event budget (typically 10–20%), or hourly for consulting and partial work. Flat fees are the most predictable. Percentage models are more common on large or complex events. Ask what triggers additional charges — added events, extra meetings, or scope beyond the original agreement.
A multi-day conference wants six to twelve months, mostly because of venue and hotel block availability. An annual meeting or large internal event, three to six. A client dinner or smaller activation can come together in weeks. The constraint is almost always the venue, not the planning.
How many events do you take at once? Who is actually on site the day of — you, or someone else? What's your process when a vendor cancels? Do you receive commissions from vendors you recommend? What's not included? Ask for a reference from an event closest in size and type to yours.
Usually yes, because they do different jobs. A venue coordinator works for the venue — they manage the building, the in-house staff, and anything the venue is contractually responsible for. They don't manage your florist, your photographer, your band, or your timeline, and if there's ever a conflict between what you want and what the venue wants, they represent the venue. A planner works for you.
