Renee Patrone Rhinehart does more than just host a party to remember.  The founder of two companies, Events by Renee and Party Host Helpers, Renee is now a self-made business leader.

Over the past decade, she has grown Events by Renee into Philadelphia’s premiere wedding planning business.  From the engagement ring to the ‘I do’s,’ Renee has walked dozens of couples down the aisle and into their future with a fabulous celebration.

Renee launched her second business, Party Host Helpers, in 2014 in the Philadelphia area. She realized so many of her hosts were too busy with prepping, serving and cleaning, they usually missed their whole party.  Renee developed the idea of using servers and bartenders to assist at bridal showers, holiday dinners, graduation parties and more.  The helpers do it all – greet guests, mix drinks and unload dishwashers. Now 10 years later, Party Host Helpers is in more than 30 cities from New York City, to West Palm Beach to Los Angeles and continues to grow.
