Greater Grays Harbor, Inc. Congratulates Q1 Member of the Quarter for 2023 – Renae’s Rendezvous!
Renae’s Rendezvous first began seven years ago when owner, Sydney Newbill started the company as a side business. After growing and preparing for years, Sydney officially opened her doors full time in February 2022 and has had a total of 25 bookings. As of April 2023, Renae’s Rendezvous has 27 bookings on the calendar for weddings, events, and travel coordination.
Sydney has grown her business in one year to the point of needing to hire two additional people to assist her during the busy wedding season. In addition to starting her business, Sydney has also co-founded Grays Harbor Young Professionals (GHYP), is an Ambassador for GGHI, and has been a member of our organization since 2022.
In the last year alone, Renae’s Rendezvous has supported local schools, Washington Business Week, and GHYP. Sydney intends to become a member of both the local Rotary and Lion’s Clubs and is a fixture at many GGHI Business After Hours and other events throughout the community.
“My favorite part of doing business in Grays Harbor is building up the local wedding industry,” said Sydney. “There is so much beauty here and talented vendors that often go unnoticed or are undervalued.”
When asked what advice she’d give to another business or organization, Sydney said, “Don’t be afraid to take the leap. You can build a fulfilling, sustainable career here. You don’t have to leave Grays Harbor to have the life or career that you love.”
