Our Story
Tuxedo Event Services is proud to be a family-owned small business creating jobs and experiences in our wonderful hometown of Houston, Texas. Founded by JP and Ashley Morgan, a husband and wife duo who met working in Houston's event scene, Tux truly believes that we can make events easier.
Ashley grew up in a large Jewish Italian family where she quickly learned any reason is a good reason to have a party. After majoring in Communications at the University of Texas, Ashley dove headfirst into planning events at one of Houston's premier museums. During this time, Ashley led her team through an array of events, from Super Bowl parties to fashion shows, holiday parties to retirement dinners, and everything in between. It's the diversity of events and the unique struggles that they provide that Ashley loves the most.
Despite living in Houston since he was two, JP was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and comes from a proud family of LSU Tigers. While attending the Hilton College at The University of Houston, he accepted a job offer that would change his life. Before long, he oversaw many of the city's most notable events for one of Houston's turnkey catering and event companies. With a primary emphasis on catering operations, JP and his team regularly executed events in many of Houston's finest museums, venues, and residences. Similar to his wife, what JP loves the most about the event industry are the unique struggles. Particularly those that come from operating out of a different location for nearly every event.
After nearly a decade in various management roles and roughly 5,000 events between us, we are excited to bring Tuxedo Event Services to our great city. Our hope for this company, and life as a whole, is to spend our time doing what we love to do; while helping others in the process.
