Excellent Podcast!

As a well known Boston event professional with a passion for the industry, Renee's Confetti Hour Podcast is a must listen! She dives into real stories, shares great information, and gets to the heart of what makes each of her guests unique. It's informative, fun and relatable!

Fantastic podcast for wedding pros!

Renée is such a gentle and kind voice within this education space—so often business pros and educators make you feel overwhelmed with ALL THE THINGS that we need to be doing. Instead, she gleans insight from her guests that are actionable and not just fluff that’s promoting their service behind the paywall. What a breath of fresh air!

Kelly McWilliams ,

Find time for this podcast!

I know. There are so many industry and business podcasts to listen to. It’s overwhelming. But some stand above the rest. The episodes of the confetti Hour I’ve listened to have always felt easy and I love that. I don’t feel like I’m sitting in a cold ballroom at a conference with a lousy lunch. Thank you Renee for a breath of fresh air!
