Meet Renee!
Hailing from the Philadelphia area, Renee has always had a knack for organization and leadership. Throughout her youth, she thrived in a whirlwind of activities from cheerleading and band to various part-time jobs, mastering the art of time management along the way.
Renee graduated from Temple University with a degree in Psychology and later pursued a Certification in Project Management, honing her skills for her future career. Her vibrant personality and love for celebrating life naturally led her to wedding and event coordination. To immerse herself in this passion, she joined a wedding planning company, where she spent nearly three years planning and coordinating unforgettable events. Each interaction with couples and their families deepened her commitment to helping others realize their dream celebrations.
In 2017, after 3.5 years of experience, Renee took the leap to establish RCC Weddings & Events, turning her vision into reality. As a certified wedding planner, she stays ahead of industry trends by participating in webinars and educational series throughout the year, ensuring her clients receive the best service possible.
Beyond her professional life, Renee is a dedicated advocate for animal rescue, having saved and rehomed numerous pets over the years. She cherishes quality time with her husband and their fleet of cats, often hosting gatherings for family and friends. An adventurous spirit, Renee enjoys making homemade limoncello during the holidays and loves to unwind with a glass of wine or explore new art classes—sometimes combining all her passions into one delightful experience!
“Renee was incredibly professional and responsive to all of our questions and concerns! I highly recommend Renee to anyone looking for a dedicated, organized, and wonderful planner!” – Jennifer and Mike, Wedding at Swan Harbor Farm
“Renee was absolutely an invaluable asset on our wedding day. We hired her as our day of coordinator but the support she offered went way past that. We spoke so highly of her after one meeting that my mother-in-law also decided to have her help out with the rehearsal dinner/welcome party.” – Amanda and David, Wedding at Celebrations at The Bay

Meet Peter!
Words from Renee: Peter is a vital, yet behind the scenes RCC team member. He also happens to be my husband! Without his love and support, RCC Weddings & Events would not be possible.

In addition to his full-time job in the legal world, Peter is the Volunteer Coordinator at the Babe Ruth Birthplace & Museum, a member of the Orioles Designated Hitters volunteer sales force, and the President of the Baltimore Chapter of SABR. He loves spending time at the ballpark or at home with his wife and cats. He and Renee have been married since 2013.
