The problem

A premium service deserves a premium first impression

The Hosting House NC is a boutique event planning and floral design studio founded by two friends, Meredith Parker and Susanna Thomas. Their work is visual and high-end: weddings, celebrations, custom florals. They needed a site that felt like their brand before a visitor ever spoke to them. A generic template would have undersold everything they do.

The build

What BuildSiteCo built

A custom site built around their photography and their voice:

A full-screen cinematic hero with clear inquiry calls to action
Three packaged service offerings presented simply: The Full Celebration, The Final Details, The Finishing Touch
A founders section telling Meredith and Susanna's story
A portfolio grid built for real event photography
A live Instagram feed (@hostinghousenc) so the site stays fresh between updates
A detailed inquiry form (event date, type, venue, guest count, budget range) that qualifies leads before the first conversation
Proper SEO metadata on every page
The outcome

Live and converting

The site is live and working as their front door. What it demonstrates: the design matches the price point of the service. Elegant typography, a soft blush and navy palette, smooth scroll animations, and photography doing the selling. Every section ends at the same place: an inquiry form with a 48-hour response promise, so interested visitors convert instead of wandering off.

We do not claim booking or revenue numbers here. Those are the client's. What we can say: the site positions a premium service as premium, and it captures qualified inquiries.
