The Founder
Juan Teague — The Vision Behind the Name
Established in 2009, Incorporated 2014
"I started Juan & Only because I believed the best experiences don't happen by accident — they're built with intention, creativity, and precision."
With over 15 years in live event production and entertainment hotel & venue sales, I've had the privilege of working alongside some of the most recognized names in entertainment — from award shows and festivals to brand activations and hotel partnerships.
Juan & Only is my commitment to bringing that same level of excellence to every client, every project, every time — grounded in the belief that great work creates lasting relationships.

What Drives Us
Our Core Values
We don't do ordinary. Every event, every partnership, every community interaction is approached with the same uncompromising standard.
We believe business should leave places better than we found them — through hiring locally, building relationships, and giving back.
We push past the expected. The best experiences come from the willingness to try what hasn't been done before.
