Meet Renae
"To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to know that one life has breathed easier because you have lived...this is the meaning of success"
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Founded in the heart of Renae Quigley and officially launched in 2002, Agape' Events exists to be a blessing to its clients during some of the most challenging and stressful seasons and events of their lives.
Renae loves planning events of all sizes and occasions, however being a professional wedding and event planner is a far cry from where she started. After obtaining an AAS in Computer Programming, Renae spent over 17 years in the retail industry where she successfully managed wedding related businesses; 5 years with the Bon Marche (now Macy's) in the China/Crystal/Silver and Bridal Departments, and 9 years with Fred Meyer Jewelry where her emphasis was on designing and creating custom jewelry pieces for her clients. She has also owned businesses designing and creating custom special occasion dresses along with specialty cakes and candies. As if that wasn't enough to keep her busy, Renae has taught community and church classes on Social and Wedding Etiquette, serves as the Regional Director for Wedding Network USA - TriCities Chapter, is VP of Giver’s Gain Trust one of seven local BNI networking chapters, served as a Chairperson for the Association of Bridal Consultants Local Networking Group for Eastern Washington, Idaho and Montana, and has been Editor of the Washington Association of Bridal Consultants Newsletter. Renae is passionate about sharing her knowledge of the wedding and event industry and routinely provides training expertise and counsel for novice wedding planners.
Renae is married to the love of her life, Todd, has four grown children and is an active leadership member of Calvary Chapel Tri-Cities.
