The concept of PlanningSavvy.com was brought to fruition by two sisters who stood behind one statement, “If you can’t plan a wedding without a glass of wine in hand, it’s simply not worth planning!” Rasa Vander Veer and Erika Peterson were raised in a family that knew how to entertain. There were parties, dinners with friends and family until the wee hours of the morning and celebrations of all sorts throughout the year. It was only natural that their college years were spent working in the hospitality industry, mostly as servers in restaurants. After college Rasa continued along the same path, working in restaurants, planning weddings and eventually catering sales. Erika started off with various accounting and financial positions, was a star in real estate and eventually opened her own gourmet gift company.
When the economy began to shift, Rasa and Erika’s jobs did the same. They both realized this was the perfect time to develop their concept and begin a business of their own. PlanningSavvy.com was born with a vision of throwing amazing events, but with the understanding that not everyone can afford champagne and caviar. With that in mind, these two sisters set out to build an online resource guide for all event hosts, to help them find the wonderful vendors and venues everyone needs, but don’t necessarily know where to look.
PlanningSavvy.com also specializes in event planning. Whether you are looking to marry your Prince Charming or are the host for your parents 50th anniversary celebration, we will make sure your day flows beautifully. Rasa and Erika pride themselves on being hard-working, detail oriented and motivated women, while not losing touch of their fun-loving, passionate and of course…savvy side.
When the time comes we would be honored to help plan your next celebration. Remember, PlanningSavvy is planning smart!
