Becky's Story
“I started planning weddings and events for my friends and family in 2013. I had no idea what I was doing when I started, so I pursued education through the Certified Wedding Planner Society, earning the title of Master Certified Wedding Planner. As I learned, my passion for this industry grew.

I found that the planning, itself, is so much fun. In 2024, I planned my own vow renewal and absolutely loved it–I didn't want to give it up. So I started my business. I made the leap into entrepreneurship, founding RJ Stewart Events. Today, I’m honored to play a special role in my clients’ weddings and events.”
