MEET RUTH BAJIMI

WEDDING MBA
I started in 2007 with a destination management company, moving trade shows and expos from city to city across the United States. That's where I learned logistics the real way: on the floor, on deadline, with no room to panic. Staying calm in the middle of chaos became second nature.
In 2011 I launched Steady Point Concept in Nigeria. When I came to the United States, I kept building. In 2018 I opened SPC Wedding & Event Management here in Austin.
Somewhere along the way the work stopped being about logistics for me. Planning celebrations became my life. I want the people I work with to feel understood, so I put myself in their shoes before I plan anything. The thing brides tell me most is that I'm the only one who said they don't have to do it the way everybody else does. It's your wedding, your way.
I still bring that trade show discipline to every celebration I plan, whether it's a wedding, a cultural ceremony or a milestone. I carry the timelines, the vendors, the families and the traditions, so you get to be present for it.
ABOUT THE COMPANY
SPC Wedding & Event Management is a full-service wedding and event planning company serving Austin, Texas and beyond. We design, plan and manage celebrations that feel personal to the people in them.
Our role is to carry the timelines, vendors, logistics, design decisions and unexpected moments, so you can stay present for the experience you've spent so much time imagining.
We make you feel like a guest at your own wedding or event.
OUR MISSION
We create thoughtful celebrations by combining personal service, creative vision and careful attention to detail. Our goal is simple: to handle the moving pieces so you can enjoy what you planned.
OUR CORE VALUES
Our values are the guiding principles that shape our interactions and define our commitment to excellence.
Trustworthiness
We deeply value the trust our clients place in us and honor it by delivering thoughtful, dependable service that consistently strives to exceed expectations.
Integrity
Transparency and honesty are at the heart of every relationship we build. We stand behind our promises and approach every commitment with unwavering integrity.
Accountability
We take ownership of our actions, decisions and results, holding ourselves to a high standard at every stage of the planning experience.
Passion
We genuinely love what we do. We bring enthusiasm, care and joy to every celebration while taking the weight of planning off our clients' shoulders.
HOW SPC PLANS YOUR CELEBRATION.
From our first conversation to the final send-off.
PHASE 01
CONNECT
We get to know you first.
We begin with a detailed questionnaire and a one-on-one consultation with Ruth to understand your celebration, priorities, budget and vision. From there, we finalize your scope of work, planning package and contract. A retainer reserves your date.
PHASE 02
DESIGN
Your vision starts taking shape.
When décor and floral design are part of your package, we create a design direction for your celebration, with a mood board covering style, décor, florals, theme and color palette. Décor and floral installation can also be added to a planning package.
PHASE 03
PLANNING
We handle the moving pieces.
Be as involved or as hands-off as feels right for you. We serve as the liaison between you and your vendors while guiding venue and vendor selection, budget management, logistics and the many decisions that keep your celebration on track.
PHASE 04
FINAL PREP
Everything gets its place.
About four weeks before your event, we move into final preparation: creating your detailed timeline, floor plan and task list, following up with vendors and settling what remains. One to two weeks before the event, the final documents go to every vendor.
PHASE 05
EXECUTION
You celebrate. We run the day.
The SPC team arrives ahead of the start time to oversee your vendors, manage logistics and direct the flow of the day so your plans happen as intended. We stay through teardown so your celebration ends as smoothly as it began.
PHASE 06
POST-EVENT
We see it through to the end.
Our work doesn't end when the celebration does. Afterward, we send a post-event report and questionnaire and invite you to share your experience. Every excellent review matters to our business, but more importantly, we work hard to earn it.
