Welcome to our first blog post of 2021!

We hope you all had an amazing holiday & indulged in all of your favorite things with your favorite people! We are SO looking forward to the new year & all 2021 has to offer! With that being said, we’d love to introduce you to the planners behind all of the pretty little things you see at Serendipitous Events!

Get to know our planner, Rebecca Carlyle!

Hello everyone!

I’m Rebecca Carlyle & I am 24 years old today (Happy Birthday to me!) I am a wife of almost 3 years to an amazing husband, Christian, who is a correctional officer at the South Dakota State Penitentiary & I’m a momma to our sweet baby girl, Braelynn Rose who is 17 months old! I also have two dogs, Daisy & Duke, who definitely keep our life entertaining!

I have been with Serendipitous Events since 2017 & have LOVED every single day of it! I am the girl behind most of our social media & blog posts & styling some of our favorite styled shoots! I have had great mentors along the way that have pushed me to become the event planner I am today. (Thank you Loghin & Jess!)

My favorite part of event planning is hands down weddings! I LOVE love! It never fails that I tear up throughout speeches or the father / daughter dance or the first look between you & your happily ever after. Weddings are SO incredibly special & I am so honored to be such a small part in your big day! I also LOVE ladies night events. This is something new that our team has started this past year & they are always so much fun & allow us to be creative & do what we do best, bring everyone together & throw a party!

Outside of Serendipitous Events, I co-own a boutique in my hometown of Rock Rapids, IA with my mom, Stephanie Bickerstaff, called Standout Boutique. I am SO passionate about helping women of all ages look & feel their best & I’m so thankful to be able to do this alongside the woman who taught me the same!

When I am not working, our family enjoys traveling! We have been to the Dominican Republic, Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, & our next trip is scheduled for Cozumel! If there is sunshine & good drinks, we are always in! If you’re looking for a destination wedding & need a wedding planning BFF, I will 10/10 times say YES! I’m always looking for a new adventure & to broaden my horizons!
