Meet Angela Renick of A`vie Events in Gainesville

Today we’d like to introduce you to Angela Renick.

Angela Renick first started event planning 27 years ago through a photography friend. She quickly realized her love and knack for talent in this industry and decided to create her own brand, which is now A`vie Events. A`vie Events specialize in weddings, corporate and non-profit events as well as organizing other events such as birthdays, anniversaries, meetings and more. This includes perfecting details in the planning process and day of coordination.

Mission:
Our mission is to provide the highest level of event planning services while dramatically impacting and building relationships within the community and our clients one event at a time.

Vision:
To become North Florida’s most desired event planning company by creating the ultimate event experience for each client.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
The road hasn’t been as smooth as I would have hoped for. When the recession hit in 2008, it took the wind out of our sails for a few years. We were in a ‘brick and mortar’ and had to figure out how we’re going to stay afloat with such a big staff. This is where we looked at changing our focus from just weddings to doing other events. We had already been doing other events but our original name “Wedding Delights” needed to be changed. So we rebranded the company to “A`vie Events”. This allowed us to share with our clients from past, current, and future that everything we were going to do for our guests would ‘have life’. A`vie means “to have life”. This couldn’t be more true of what we do. We love what we do, we wanted to serve our clients, give them more than they expected.

This helped us to launch us into a new category of multiple areas of events. Driving us to network with vendors. Building bigger relationships with the community for non-profit. We started to build great relationships along the way.

So, as you know, we’re impressed with A`vie Events – tell our readers more, for example, what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
After rebranding to A`vie Events, we could see a turn that it was fresh, creative, elite, making sure our clients feel like they are a guest at their event. People see us being on the cutting edge of event planning, elite planners, we always have at least three staff members at an event. We feel to have the right amount of coverage we want to have a minimum number of staff members at an event. We have a level that desire to maintain, level of expectations that we will always hold to and not go below.

We are most proud of the A`vie Events brand for what we do for our clients. How we take care of them from the time they sign, through the process, event and wrapping up their event. It is important that they are well taken care of. We have a gift of organization to the 100th degree to be very honest, communication as well. We love what we do. It is with great joy that we are able to plan and be as creative as our clients allow us to be. We like to be ‘out of the box’ as much as they allow us to be.

What has been the proudest moment of your career so far?
When you are able to add more Associates to your team, step back from doing as much so you can focus on the growth of where you want the company to go. This year has been one of those years for me. I’m looking forward to what the future holds for A`vie Events as we take some big steps in 2019.
