About Moxie Bright Events
You know you need a team to take care of the details and ensure things go according to plan, but more than that, you have to trust them to translate your loveliest dreams into the wedding you envision. It would be so wrong if the feel of the day was off, and you and your partner felt like you were playing a part at someone else’s wedding.
Listen, we know it feels overwhelming trying to choose the right people to help plan your wedding.
Hello, loves. We're so glad you’re here.
Before I became an event planner, I was a theatre producer, director, and actor. My background in professional theatre has proven to be an asset to clients like you, as I bring leadership, creativity, a sense of humor, and a calm demeanor to all my events!
Secret weapon #2 - this is the really big one. I have a background in fine dining and hospitality. I know the organization and expert attention to detail it takes to execute a major event, and I do it in a way that not only honors you and your family, but also makes your guests feel welcomed and integral to your day. Many wedding planners are missing this.
Since 2008, we’ve helped hundreds of couples, just like you, release overwhelm and experience the joy they deserve.
I have two big secret weapons that make this happen.
At Moxie Bright Events, we see and hear you.
Meet the rest of your Moxie Bright team...
Joey Perniciaro
Associate Planner
Joey has been an actor, singer, and theatrical producer — as well as a retail manager for the biggest toy store in the world, Toys-R-Us, Times Square. In 2016, he began managing events for several NYC catering companies before moving to LA in 2021.
One February night, after a delightful dinner with Renee, whom Joey has known for… longer than he likes to admit, Renee invited him to join her company, Moxie Bright Events. He immediately and gleefully accepted.
These days, Joey leads and designs his own weddings, bat/bar mitzvahs, and other parties for the company, in addition to assisting Renee. Joey is also the current Treasurer of WIPA SoCal (Wedding Industry Professionals Association).
Serenity Calhoun
Assistant Planner
Serenity is an event assistant for Moxie Bright. She quickly transitioned into working events after moving to Los Angeles at the end of 2021. In addition to working weddings, she has years of experience in multiple hospitality sectors, such as food and beverage.
As an actor and performer, she loves to incorporate her skills into the event space. She finds enjoyment in being able to be a part of creating a spectacle and experience for others. When she’s not working an event or auditioning, you can find her scrolling through adorable puppy videos online.
Above all, we keep the process light-hearted and fun. That’s what we want for you.
We're open-minded to your wants and desires. Renee has been called the “no-nonsense Mary Poppins of wedding planning” (swoon!), and we think it’s because she's a sweet but focused straight shooter who can make magic happen. We remain cool, calm, and collected no matter what, and there isn't anything we can't handle on a wedding day. (Ask us about the time we killed a large snake at a wedding, unbeknownst to the couple. Really.)
You feel cared for because we really learn who you are.
We plan and manage everything so you can be fully present to enjoy your wedding and the people you've chosen to share it with. And when you’ve had the wedding of your dreams, you’ll wake up the next morning feeling like it was truly the best day of your life. Contact us now, so we can get started.
You should feel grounded, well taken care of, and loved - on your wedding day, and all the days leading up to it.
Get Married at a wedding that truly feels like a reflection of you and your partner, while we ensure your wedding flows effortlessly.
