With a decade of friendship and a shared passion for event planning, we followed our hearts and created BellaRu Events; an event planning company based in Los Angeles. After working together to coordinate various events for friends and family, we found ourselves constantly searching for new and creative ideas to make the next event better than the last.



The name BellaRu is a collaboration of two very important people in our lives . . . Our grandmothers!

 

With Italian roots and a wild personality, Valerie's grandmother found it comical for people to address her as Sandra Queen Bella. Valerie's fondest childhood memories were sitting at her grandmother's bar, watching her sip scotch and water while dancing the night away, especially to anything by the Rolling Stones.

 

  We combined "Bella" with "Ru" to represent Tiffany's grandmother, Ruth. There were two things Ruth loved . . . throwing a grand themed party and cocktails. She was truly the life of any party she hosted or attended, and is without a doubt, still living up to that expectation in Heaven.

 

EVENT PLANNER & CO-FOUNDER

Valerie has always had a creative eye to take an idea and turn it into a reality. As the go-to person among many family and friends for event planning, she has created everything from invitations and fondant cakes, to centerpieces and custom favors for various events. As a stay-at-home mother, she has perfected the art of organization and smart budgeting. When asked why she chose event planning as a career, her response was, "I want to go to work every day with the opportunity to meet new people, help them create memorable moments, and be challenged with new projects and visions. The fun part of event planning is that there are no rules and the possibilities are endless."
