Pershing Profile: Belinda Horton
How Belinda Horton Turns Pershing Into Your Private Playground
A Venue with Serious Street Cred
Pershing isn’t just a space—it’s a nearly 100-year-old Austin icon. With Clayton & Little and Michael Hsu architecture, DWG’s gorgeous landscape design, and interiors that have aged like fine wine, every corner of the hall whispers history. Hosting an event here isn’t just a party—it’s stepping into a story with a dash of drama and a lot of style.
From Member to Magic-Maker
Belinda Horton knows Pershing inside and out—literally. She started as a member, fell head over heels for the place, and then thought, “Why not run the show?” Now, as Events Director, she takes her love for the spaces (and a flair for the dramatic) and turns it into unforgettable experiences for every guest lucky enough to walk through the doors.
Details? She Obsesses Over Them
“Details matter,” Belinda says. And she’s not kidding. From the moment your guests arrive to the last sip of champagne, she’s orchestrating a flawless experience. Her secret sauce? A wild mix of Michelin-starred restaurant chops, professional ballet, art history smarts, and interior design know-how. Oh, and she once danced cabaret in Monaco—so yes, she has stories, and yes, they’re fabulous.
A Playground for Creativity
No cookie-cutter events here. Pershing charm, patina, and swoon-worthy spaces are perfect for intimate dinners, corporate galas, or anything that needs that “wow” factor. With Belinda leading the charge, every event is a little bit theatrical, a little bit mischievous, and 100% memorable.
The Perfect Day (and Event)
When she’s not running the Pershing show, Belinda is soaking up Austin life: theater, music, dance, and a glass of cabernet in hand with her family by her side. That same sense of fun and flair is baked into every private event she creates—you’ll leave feeling like you just stepped out of a movie scene.
