ABOUT WHIM

In early 2012, Whim Hospitality founders, Kim and Whit Hanks, perceived a need in the burgeoning Texas Hill Country wedding and special events industry. The number of venues was growing but there were no truly local rental companies to effectively service them.

To fill this need, Whim’s first division, Whim Event Rentals, moved into a showroom and warehouse in Dripping Springs, just off of Highway 290, ideally situating Whim “just down the road” from the Hill Country’s premier venues in Dripping Springs, Wimberley, southwest Austin, Lake Travis, and Fredericksburg. Recognizing a need for an even more complete wedding and special event services experience, Whim Florals joined the Whim Hospitality family in 2013.

Co-founder Kim Hanks previously worked in the special events industry as a wedding planner, where she became well-versed in the challenge of bringing together different companies – this floral designer, that caterer, this rentals company, that tent company – to create one seamless event. Through a thoughtful expansion plan, Whim grew from rentals to offer a suite of event services to create a far more stress-free experience for the client. In terms of unique products, Whim has utilized co-founder Whit Hanks’ international buying connections to bring to the rental market products not otherwise found locally, or in even nationally.

Ultimately, the Whim Hospitality company culture is defined by Kim and Whit’s family. We’ve set ourselves apart from other wedding and event vendors by creating a family of services and we are honored whenever we’re selected to participate in your family’s biggest celebrations!
