About my company *
I am Renee Rothschild, the visionary behind extraordinary celebrations and unforgettable experiences. For more than 25 years, I have dedicated my career to the art of catering and event planning—helping couples, families, and organizations bring their dreams to life with intention, precision, and creativity. Whether you’re envisioning a lavish wedding, a milestone birthday, an intimate dinner party, or a corporate gala, my mission is to ensure every detail shines and every moment feels seamless.
My journey began in Springfield, Illinois, where I founded and led Olives Catering Company, quickly earning a reputation for quality, style, and service. After building a strong foundation locally, I expanded my career to major markets including Honolulu, Savannah, and Washington, D.C. Each new city brought fresh inspiration, valuable partnerships, and opportunities to orchestrate events of national and international prestige.
Over the years, I have had the honor of producing high-profile events for an elite clientele: foreign dignitaries, esteemed ambassadors, Fortune 500 corporations, and two former U.S. presidents. My portfolio includes everything from the SCAD Savannah Film Festival and LPGA/PGA tournaments to countless elegant weddings and sophisticated receptions. These experiences have sharpened my ability to adapt to diverse cultures, traditions, and levels of formality while maintaining the highest standards of excellence.
After years of working in fast-paced, competitive markets, I returned to Springfield with renewed passion and perspective. This homecoming inspired me to launch Renee Rothschild Events—a full-service event planning and catering company rooted in creativity, collaboration, and genuine hospitality. Here, I blend big-city expertise with Midwestern warmth, curating events that feel elevated yet approachable, stylish yet deeply personal
At Renee Rothschild Events, I believe collaboration is essential to creating something truly extraordinary. That’s why I partner with the most talented vendors, artisans, and industry professionals to ensure your event exceeds every expectation. From masterful floral design and exquisite cuisine to flawless logistics and thoughtful details, my team and I handle each element with care so you can focus on what matters most: being fully present in the moment.
Our services are comprehensive and highly personalized. We offer full-service planning, design, and catering for weddings, social gatherings, and corporate events. For couples, this means curating a wedding that reflects your love story with timeless beauty and effortless flow. For families, it means celebrating milestones with joy and ease. For businesses, it means creating polished events that inspire connection and leave a lasting impression.
No matter the scale or setting, every celebration we produce is guided by three principles: intention, elegance, and experience. We believe that the best events tell a story—your story—and our role is to capture it with authenticity, artistry, and heart.
With Renee Rothschild Events, you’ll find more than a planner—you’ll gain a trusted partner, a creative collaborator, and a dedicated advocate for your vision. Whether your event is intimate or grand, local or destination, I am committed to making the planning process stress-free and enjoyable while delivering an experience that is nothing short of unforgettable.
Let’s create something timeless, heartfelt, and uniquely yours.
Cheers,
Renee Rothschild, Owner
