At Élan Events, we believe that every occasion deserves elegance, creativity, and unforgettable details. With over 35 years of experience in Italian restaurant hospitality and a deep-rooted family legacy in Houston, we have grown into a premier company specializing in luxury catering and full-service event planning.
We began our journey as Sipipa, and today, under the new name Élan Events, we proudly bring together our authentic Italian roots with an expanded international menu. Every celebration with us is crafted with elegance, creativity, and unforgettable detail.

Élan Events was founded by Nikki Elan, a creative visionary and porcelain painter. With an academic background in Law, she brings a unique discipline and structure to the art of event planning. Her distinctive blend of artistry and professionalism allows her to craft celebrations that are as imaginative as they are refined.

Our team is dedicated to creating beautiful and memorable events from intimate gatherings to grand celebrations. With a strong focus on authentic flavors and internationally inspired cuisine, we craft a culinary journey that delights every guest. But our services go far beyond food: from luxurious floral design and artistic décor to music, dance, and professional photography and videography, we bring together every element that makes an event truly unforgettable.

We are also proud of our strong presence in the Houston community, with extensive catering experience for numerous charities and active participation in organizing many high-profile fashion shows across the city.

At Élan, we don’t just host events, we create experiences. With us, your vision becomes reality, elevated with style, sophistication, and lasting memories.
