About Us

The Glitter and Ro Story

It all began over 15 years ago, with a chance meeting at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse in Roseville, CA. Mindy (lovingly nicknamed ‘Glitter’ by Rochelle simply because you can never dim her sparkle) and Rochelle (Ro), met while executing a VIP private dinner for a wealth advisory firm Rochelle was the Marketing Director at that time. It was an easy beginning to a friendship and eventually, became a professional partnership when Mindy was recruited by Rochelle and the firm to fill the role of event and conference planning manager. That chance meeting at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse in Roseville, CA, set the foundation not only for their relationship but for their professional collaboration and eventual joint endeavors in event and corporate planning, and marketing consulting.

The connection formed during those first few private dining events showcases the importance of networking and seizing opportunities in the industry. It’s through such encounters that professionals often find their paths intersecting and embark on successful ventures together.

Today, Glitter and Ro- Event Management, Production, and Design is a dynamic, women-owned business, serving the diverse needs of individuals, organizations, and communities. We work with our clients to help to combine their unique vision and event needs with our creative expertise, organizational skills, attention to detail, and industry knowledge to create memorable experiences for guests and attendees all while managing the logistical complexities of each event.
