Intro

Hi, I’m Juanita Royal-Burgess. I own Sweet Occasions. Sweet Occasions is a premier event and travel planning business. We specialize in customized event coordination and destination events of any kind. From weddings to reunions to family vacations, your event will create lifetime memories. Sweet Occasions will make you event the sweetest day you’ve ever known! This is our guarantee. Now, let me tell you a little about myself. Unofficially I’ve been planning events and travel for about 10 years. This came about because I love to shop and will search tirelessly for a great deal. My mom taught me at a young age to have a strong sense of community. Community activism and volunteering is a passion of mine. I strongly believe that, whom anything is given, something is required. This means that if you live in a community, you need to do something to better that community. So although I love to spend, I love to give. When my job closed down in 2007, I was at a crossroads. Thinking I’d be out of work for a few months I began doing more volunteer and community work. A few months then turned into a year. During that time, my community involvement through Regeneration Development Group, Inc. helped empower me to go forward in starting my own business. I’ve had this dream for a while and it finally came to life April of 2010. Regeneration has helped me connect with the NC Rural Economic Center and the NC GATE project. I am grateful to Regeneration for giving me the information and the push I needed to become an entrepreneur. Now I help many people make their dream vacations, reunions, and weddings come true. Because class does not have a price tag and Sweet Occasions specializes in classy customized events. Our events are classy because we give our customers four plus star treatment no matter how large or small the event. Customized because no two events are alike and each customer’s event is tailored to their specifications. For more information or to plan your next event or vacation, visit us at .
