Show Time! Hip event designer Jade Gold is giving the H-Town wedding scene a few new ‘Props’

 The designer behind Houston’s buzzy new special event furniture biz, Prop Rock, knows her customer: trend-setting brides and grooms who spend Saturday nights at hip lounges, sipping Martinis with friends on plush leather Banquettes. Why should their wedding reception be any different? Slender, stylish Jade Gold – with a name like that, isn’t flash just part of the job? – has reinvented the standard 72-inch round reception table in just two years flat. Her company stocks mod rental furniture (think red velvet ottomans paired with neon-lit end tables) that often renders country clubs unrecognizable. Add top-shelf cocktails and a clubby DJ, and a wedding reception becomes a soiree worthy of a velvet rope and a limo line. “It’s like having your own VIP moment,” says Gold. “Lounge is in. Sleek and chic.” . more ....

Feeling trapped by the four walls of Corporate America, Jade Gold’s inner creative child was screaming to come out. In 2008, Gold finally started listening and let her artistic side run wild. Before she began her business, Gold knew she wanted to utilize her imagination, be her own boss, and make money. Taking an inventory of businesses in the city, Gold noticed that there was no one in the city of Houston who rented furniture with customizable options for their clients. The light bulb was turned on and Gold got to work and married her ideas to the demands of the community. “When you think about how lucrative that industry is I just feel as though that was something that was going to be a niche for the market in Houston,” said Gold. Therefore, in July 2008, Prop Rock was born. Prop Rock is a lounge and specialty furniture rental store. “Our specialty is customized event lounge furniture,” said Gold. The company prides itself on making every event unique and different as well as have its own signature style. “Rather than just going to typical rentals, we are able to customize it without all the additional cost,” said Gold. “Each event has its own personality, so what we do for a wedding wouldn’t necessarily be done for a trade show or something we would do for an award show isn’t something that we would do for NBA All Star Weekend. There is a special way to create a look for an event, coordinate certain colors, and end up with a specific look.” Her ideas are inspired by the world. She has traveled extensively and always notices the decor in the different restaurants, hotels, and other places throughout the cities of the many countries to which she has traveled. “Décor is everywhere,” expressed Gold. Since she is a lover of décor, her furniture rental company does more than just rents furniture. “Your lighting and furniture are the two most important things outside of the food that is served at an event,” said Gold. At Prop Rock, clients may also take advantage of their lighting and pipe draping services. “We really do the whole theme for an event, ” expressed Gold. New horizons will open for Gold and her clients in 2010 when customers will not only be ably to rent furniture but if they really love it, they may actually get to own it. LeReve will soon be the retail arm of Prop Rock so that their many clients may now have spaces reflective of their unique personalities. “LeReve’ means the dream. Our mission is dream furniture you can afford,” said Gold. Furniture pieces may be rented individual, as sets, or Prop Rock can design an entire production. Minimum packages begin at $500. This price includes setting up and breaking down all decor and a project manager and warehouse manager if needed. Prop Rock can decorate a small house party or one the magnitude of the White House. Gold did get the opportunity to decorate a party for President Barack Obama in Washington, D.C. Other clients include the Latin Grammy’s, Texas Music Festival, Tiffany & Co., and Saks. Anyone’s name can be added to the list as Prop Rock has also done graduation parties, weddings, etc. Next year on April 2, Gold and her Prop Rock team can be seen in action on the Bravo’s series “Party Mammas’.” Have your next affair rocked out by Prop Rock!

Latin Grammys Bright Lights for Local Firms By JENALIA MORENO Copyright 2008 Houston Chronicle Nov. 12, 2008, 11:34PM Brett Coomer (Houston Chronicle) Jade Gold, owner of Pearland's Prop Rock, unpacks a mirrored table as she prepares for a pre-Grammy show party. Rock created decorations for the dressing rooms, custom bars for a party at the George R. Brown Convention Center and lounge furniture for a pre-show party. Hair and makeup artist Pedro Abasolo, owner of Rice Village-area Ovations Hair Studios, did the hair of celebrities. And musicians jammed at the Spring Branch-area Sound Check Music Complex to prepare in advance of the show.Tonight’s Latin Grammy broadcast from the Toyota Center has turned out to be good business for several Houston-area entrepreneurs. “I was trying my best to find every single possible way to put in a bid for that contract,” said Jade Gold, who is the owner Prop Rock. The one-day event, which airs at 7p.m. on Univision, and the pre-parties will bring in about 20 percent of Prop Rock’s annual sales, said Ms Gold, who hopes to rub shoulders with stars such as Jennifer Lopez. Abasolo, who frequently styles the hair of celebrities and politicians, will serve as the backstage director for hair and makeup. Abasolo will direct three makeup artists and seven hairdressers on the day of the show. He wouldn’t disclose how much he’s earning but does expect it will generate more business for him. “It’s not about the money,” Abasolo said. “It’s more about the reputation and the publicity.” A handful of bands rehearsed this week at Sound Check, said J. Gleason, who runs the recording and rehearsal studio. “We’re going to get some name recognition off of this deal,” said Gleason, a former musician. “Houston needs this.” “The Houston music scene was kind of on life support. Now, it’s coming back.” He said much of the state’s music business is concentrated in Austin, but with the Grammys here, he expects more bands to consider recording in Houston. The event could draw more such events and conventions to the city, some speculate.“I think more than anything it brings visibility to the city of Houston,” said Laura Murillo, president of the Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. “It’s a big way of putting us on the map.” Some 12 million U.S. viewers watched last year’s live broadcast from the show held in Las Vegas. “It will present Houston as a diverse, Latin friendly community and a desirable destination,” said Greg Ortale, president and CEO of the Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau. He said the event honoring Hispanic musicians and singers will have a smaller economic impact than originally anticipated because one pre-Latin Grammy party was canceled after Hurricane Ike. But with 11,000 people expected to attend the televised awards show, the event will bring a cash infusion to Houston. jenalia.moreno@chron.com
