Based in the Pacific Northwest, Reneille specializes in elevated, highly customized weddings for modern couples — and shares her take on everything from celebrity wedding trends to design-driven planning.
The conversation dives into what she imagines for Taylor Swift’s wedding (yes, it’s as iconic as you'd expect), and offers grounded advice for real couples — like how to evaluate venues with an eye for infrastructure, guest flow and full-weekend potential. Reneille also opens up about her own wedding planning process at the Four Seasons Seattle and why she opted out of a bridal party altogether.
This episode is packed with smart, trend-forward ideas for engaged couples who want a day that feels bold, intentional and 100% their own.
