Exceptional, Passionate, and Professional: RYGE Made Our Wedding Day Perfect!

We are beyond grateful to Rio from RYGE for being our day-of coordinator. Rio’s enthusiasm and passion for what she does truly shines through. She is incredibly friendly, easygoing, and such a pleasure to work with—she made the entire process enjoyable from start to finish. Her eye for detail and her ability to create the perfect flow made our wedding day unforgettable. I was able to share my vision with her, and she carried it out flawlessly, adding her own thoughtful touches that fit perfectly.

Both Rio and her assistant, Bev, were highly professional, keeping everything organized and running smoothly, allowing us to enjoy our day without any stress. Rio goes above and beyond to ensure everything is perfect—she even meets with you a month out to review all the details and offers support along the way, like suggesting vendors if you’re still looking. We couldn’t have had such a successful day without her, and we highly recommend RYGE to anyone looking for a coordinator who is passionate, detail-oriented, and truly invested in making your day special!

Day of Coordination at the Walper Hotel

Had Rio from Raise Your Glass Events for our wedding at the Walper Hotel as a day of coordinator. I was unsure if I even needed a day of coordinator but boy am I glad we used Rio (and Beth!).

Owner

Hello, hello!

I'm Rio, the proud owner of Raise Your Glass Events. With over 9 years of experience in the wedding and events industry, I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to every celebration I have the honour of being a part of.

My journey in the industry began back in high school when I discovered my love for creating unforgettable moments. From there, I delved into various fields within the industry, exploring everything from design and decor to food service and coordination. Along the way, I even pursued my passion for storytelling and attended film school, which has given me a unique perspective on the way photographers work – a valuable asset when it comes to capturing those precious moments on your special day.


After gaining invaluable experience working in different roles, I knew it was time to take the leap and carve out my own path. That's when Raise Your Glass Events was born. My mission? To help couples like you bring their dream weddings to life, with creativity, dedication, and a touch of magic.
