Meet Renee!

A native of the Philadelphia area, Renee spent her early years keeping things organized, making lists, and generally taking charge in group settings. Her life was full of activity with cheerleading, band, part-time jobs, and other extracurriculars dominating her after-school world. From an early age, she learned the value of time management.

Renee graduated from Temple University with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology. Several years later, she returned and obtained a Certification in Project Management.

As a social person, full of joy and always finding a reason to celebrate life, wedding and event coordination seemed to be a natural extension of Renee’s talents. In order to prove it to herself, she took began working with a wedding planning company where she planned, coordinated and assisted with events for nearly three years, loving every minute of her labors. Given her organized mind and disciplined personal nature, Renee found coordinating and planning events to be both a challenge and personal passion. Her interactions with the couples, their families and their guests and seeing personal dreams come to life during events, Renee realized her primary purpose in life was to help others create perfection.

After 3.5 years working with someone else, Renee formed RCC Weddings & Events and her dream came true!

As the owner of RCC, Renee is well established within the industry and is a certified wedding planner who stays current with trends by attending numerous webinars and educational series throughout the year.

On a more personal note, Renee is enthusiastic about domestic animal rescue. She has saved and rehomed numerous animals over the years. She takes great pleasure in spending quality time with her husband and their fleet of cats. Renee also loves to host family and friends at their home. Always up for a new adventure or personal challenge, Renee is known to make homemade limoncello during the holidays and likes to relax with a glass wine or taking an art class of some sort (sometimes combining the two)!

“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
