We had the good fortune of connecting with Glenn & Tonya Pitcher and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Glenn & Tonya, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
We started our business to combine My husband’s love for woodworking with our desire to help make events special. We wanted to create unique, high-quality products that elevate celebrations while allowing us to work together and build something meaningful for our family.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Our work combines craftsmanship and creativity to enhance special events with custom marquee decor and backdrops. What sets us apart is our attention to detail and the love we put into every piece, inspired by Glenn’s family legacy in woodworking. We take great pride in the joy our creations bring to our clients’ celebrations. Starting this business has not been easy; we have faced challenges, but our persistence and commitment to quality have taught us resilience and the importance of authentic connections. Our story is one of passion and partnership, and we hope our brand reflects our mission to make every occasion unforgettable..

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If our best friends were visiting, we would start at Angel Share HTX Charity Bar for the best lemon drop martinis in Houston. After that, we would head to Perry’s Steakhouse for their legendary Texas-sized pork chops. For some live family-friendly entertainment, La Centerra Town Center is a must-visit. To top it all off, we would end the night at Phil and Derek’s for amazing live music and a vibrant atmosphere. It would be an unforgettable day!!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
We want to give a special shoutout to Glenn’s uncle Manuel for inspiring his passion for woodworking. Uncle Manuel’s skills and enthusiasm ignited Glenn’s creativity, which is at the heart of our business. We take great pride in carrying on that legacy and love in every piece we create.
