We believe shared creativity brings your celebration to life—discover how we make it unforgettable.


Jacob founded Thater Made in 2021, inspired by a lifelong passion to turn dreams into breathtaking celebrations. His early career in Southern California’s vibrant event scene, working alongside top planners, laid the foundation for our refined approach. A transformative period in Dubai, where he immersed himself in global cultures while with Emirates, deepened his appreciation for diverse traditions, shaping our vision for celebrations that inspire across borders.

Alex joined, bringing a unique perspective shaped by his journey from accounting to artistry. His years in San Diego’s hospitality industry honed a meticulous eye for detail, which he paired with a self-taught talent for event and graphic design, ensuring every celebration feels vibrant and visually stunning. Since 2021, we’ve earned the trust of a select few who value creativity, crafting events with a distinct, worldly elegance that resonates for years.
