We had the good fortune of connecting with Kirby Heard and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kirby, what is the most important factor behind your success?
I genuinely feel my brand has been successful by being authentic and caring for my clients. When I take on a new client, I must build trust and speak with transparency regarding the client experience and investment involved in planning an extraordinary event. It is a responsibility I don’t take lightly once chosen to be a part of someone’s special moment, whether it be a birthday milestone, an exclusive private dinner, or an extra unique baby shower. I go the extra mile when caring for my clients because I believe good business begins and continues with fostering healthy relationships. No matter the budget, I treat all of my clients with respect because that is what they deserve.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Details Event Planning and Design is an actual all-in-one experience. I enjoy assisting people with the heavy-lifting associated with a fabulous event. Usually, potential clients don’t want to deal with the stress and pressure of coordinating an event, and many times, they are too overwhelmed with planning and forget about enjoying the moment. I offer full event coordination AND design. I can outsource and coordinate the different services requested by clientele, and I also assist with executing unique themes and designs.

I would not say I like doing the same event repeatedly; I push my clients to think of elements that speak to them and their guests. Then, I force myself to create an environment that speaks to both parties while expanding my creative mind. While none of my events aesthetically look the same, the atmosphere I’ve learned to create is consistent. People remember my events because it’s always a great experience, AND I include striking looks that are classic and timeless. I’m most excited to see where I’ll be in 5-10 years. I pray to continue building and maintaining an extensive network of people who believe in my skill and will help me open doors beyond my wildest imagination. I am incredibly proud of my progress in just a year and a half.

To continue the path I’ve created for myself, I’ve had to overcome rejection, life’s disappointments, self-sabotage, fear of failure, financial debts, and many mental blockages. I am learning that it does not matter how you start or how long it takes to get there; how you choose to show up for yourself and your business each day is what truly measures success. I want the world to know that I am just getting started. There is no limit to the success Details will reach, and I am grateful for the ride.


Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
In Houston, there is so much to explore. Houston is a city where there is almost always something to do depending on interests. I am a major foodie and love trying new dining experiences. If I could, I’d brunch every day. Some of my favorite brunch spots at the moment consist of Liberty Kitchen, Lucille’s, Graces, and Ambriza, to name a few. I also love a good wine bar, especially for a Girl’s Night’s Out. Some boozy favorites with a fantastic food menu and ambiance have been: Oporto, Potente, Sixty Vines, and Joey Uptown. All of which sit near social parts of town with lots of nightlife.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My friends and family have been a massive support system during my entrepreneurial journey. Taking a risk on yourself is extremely difficult. There are days when you can’t show up for yourself or be your cheerleader, and that’s when I’ve learned to lean on my village. My friends and family are constantly reminding me of my talent, heart and worth. I am forever grateful for the team I have behind me.
