Meet Rita Kealey of Events Boutique LA in Sherman Oaks

Today we’d like to introduce you to Rita Kealey.

So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I began working as an assistant to the founder of Events Boutique LA when I was 18 years old and going to the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. I quickly fell in love with the wedding and special events industry. My interest grew into a passion and I never left the company. Five years down the road I became a partner and grew my business and clientele list. We are proud to say that we have collectively coordinated and produced hundreds of weddings all over California and several abroad. We love diving into different cultural backgrounds and infusing those traditions into our events. We strive to make each event unique and personal to our clients. Their happiness is our success.

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Fortunately, overall it has been a smooth road. There have been some bumps in the road filled with anxiety and nerves but it helps us strive to do better, grown and learn. The events industry has had a major shift and expansion since the growth of social media and online merchandise. It has been extremely helpful and become more competitive.
