Our Story

​

Lone Star on Elm was born from a simple belief: every milestone deserves to be celebrated with beauty, dignity, and art.

 

Founder and Event Architect Christi Clingan didn't start Lone Star with investors or corporate backing. She built it with vision, resilience, and a deep love for bringing people together.

 

For years, Christi and her team hosted unforgettable events in a charming historic venue on Elm Street in Portland, Texas. Over time, however, it became clear that what truly set Lone Star on Elm apart wasn't just the building; it was the heart and creativity behind every celebration.

​

Today, Lone Star on Elm has evolved beyond the walls of a single venue. We now bring the same warmth, dedication, and meticulous attention to detail to any location you choose. Whether you're planning a wedding, a quinceañera, a milestone birthday, or a community gathering, our mission remains the same: to create a space where memories are made and milestones are honored, no matter where the celebration takes place.

​

At Lone Star on Elm, we believe every client deserves to feel supported, heard, and truly cared for. Our story is about more than a venue—it’s about bringing your story to life, wherever you are.

 

We’d be honored to be part of your next celebration.
