Today we’d like to introduce you to Rebekah Truett
Hi Rebekah, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My journey into the event industry started with a deep love for creating beautiful, memorable experiences. I always enjoyed arranging flowers for family and friends and curating special meals for gatherings. What started as a hobby quickly turned into a passion. I realized how flowers, food, and décor can completely transform an event, and I wanted to share that beauty with others.
I began by offering simple floral arrangements for local events and farmer markets, alongside catering small gatherings. I started with custom charcuterie boards, which I had always loved creating for friends and family. I quickly noticed that these personalized boards—filled with delicious, artfully arranged meats, cheeses, fruits, and spreads—were a hit at every event I catered. It was a beautiful, interactive way to serve food that also acted as an eye-catching centerpiece.
At the same time, I noticed the growing trend of balloon arches and installations at events. I took a deep dive into balloon art, learning the techniques to create everything from elegant arches to more elaborate, custom installations. The combination of flowers, food, and balloons quickly became my signature.
With a growing love for floral design, charcuterie catering, and balloon art, I decided to turn my passion into a full-fledged business. I focused on creating unique event experiences, offering a blend of all three elements: stunning flower arrangements, beautifully crafted charcuterie boards, and balloon arches. What made my business different was the ability to provide a cohesive, one-stop-shop experience for clients, whether they were hosting a wedding, birthday, or corporate event.
As word spread, the demand grew. I built strong relationships with local suppliers and event planners, enabling me to offer fresh flowers and high-quality ingredients. With each event, I refined my skills and pushed the boundaries of creativity, always making sure every detail was perfect.
Now, my business is a go-to for unique event design, combining florals, gourmet charcuterie boards, and beautiful balloon installations. We’ve had the privilege of working on everything from intimate celebrations to large-scale events, creating unforgettable experiences for our clients. Our reputation for quality and creativity has earned us a loyal customer base, and we get the opportunities to be featured on social media and in event blogs.
As we continue to grow, we’re looking forward to expanding and exploring new ways to make every event even more extraordinary. We’re always learning, adapting, and innovating to stay ahead of trends and deliver the best service possible.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
While the journey of opening a business that specializes in floral arrangements, charcuterie boards, and balloon arches has been incredibly rewarding, it hasn’t always been a smooth road. There have certainly been a few bumps along the way.
One of the biggest challenges was sourcing quality materials consistently. For floral arrangements, ensuring that fresh flowers were available and in top condition could sometimes be tricky, especially with seasonal variations. Similarly, creating charcuterie boards with the right mix of fresh ingredients required a lot of careful planning to maintain both aesthetic appeal and freshness.
Another struggle was managing the logistics of balloon arch installations. Setting up large balloon designs at venues, especially tight spaces, required not just creativity but also a lot of problem-solving and time management to make sure everything was perfect before the event started.
On top of that, balancing the creative aspects of the business with the operational side—like budgeting, marketing, and managing customer expectations—was an ongoing challenge. However, these struggles have been part of the learning process, and overcoming them has made the business stronger and more adaptable.

In terms of your work and the industry, what are some of the changes you are expecting to see over the next five to ten years?
Over the next 5-10 years, I believe the event industry will see a significant shift toward creating more immersive and personalized experiences for clients. As people increasingly look for ways to make their events stand out, I see business like ours, which offer a full-service experience, becoming much more in demand. Clients will no longer just be looking for a service; they’ll be seeking a complete experience that reflects their vision. This is where our model—offering floral arrangements, charcuterie boards, and balloon arches, all under one roof—will really set us apart. By providing this seamless integration of services, we’re making event planning simpler, less stressful, and more efficient for our clients. Flexibility is also key. I think we’ll see a rise in multi-purpose venues that can easily transform to accommodate a variety of events, from weddings to corporate functions to intimate gatherings. Landing us in a venue hosted experience. Being able to adapt to different needs while offering top-tier services like ours will be critical.
