Meet Renae:
Lead Venue Manager
Tour Manager
A native to Southern Oregon and rain/snow lover, 2019 marked my first wedding season with the Water Oasis as a Venue and Tour Manager.
I am very familiar with this popular and local venue, since I have been delivering wedding and event cakes here since they opened in 2012. I enjoy being part of the growing Willamette Valley wedding industry for over 20 years as a professional cake artist and owner of Custom Cakes NW. Since I live nearby, going to “work” is really more like visiting a neighbor.
I met my husband while skiing Mt. Ashland and love skiing the great Northwest, that’s why I was a January bride. Any thrill that involves speed from driving fast muscle cars, to zip lining, skiing the tree-line, rafting the Rogue or Deschutes rivers, I seek those adventures. I rock the hardest to 80’s big-hair-bands, eat dark chocolate reeeeallly slow, and my favorite part of any wedding is the cake cutting of course!
Being a venue manager and cake artist allows me the privilege of witnessing a couples commitment to each other and their future lives. I sincerely enjoy making your special day all the sweeter, while seeing local business grow, and your personal adventure start.
Cheers ~ Renae
