Note from Renee, Founder/Creative Director

Based out of Toronto , I have been designing & creating for over fifteen years now. I have seen trends come and go, timeless classics always remain and learned so many new things along the way.

I have been through a lot in my life – from personal to health issues and everything in between. It’s nice to know that no matter what obstacles you face, you’re not alone. That’s why I started to build this community in 2012.

My goal is to assist you on your journey, authentically & creatively -- helping to grow the brand & life you love.

My past experiences brought me to create and do what I love. Starting with a boutique wedding event, The Original Wedding Soiree, in 2007 - I adored producing these and working with gorgeous venues like One King West & Intercontinental Yorkville.

⁠I later developed a love for design & marketing so I started a mini print magazine, Her Magazine, in 2008.⁠ I loved travel so I also started a website, Hidden Trips - showcasing local travel gems. ⁠

The Original Baby Soiree was born shortly after, which included a New York style fashion parade & guests like Erica Ehm and Cheryl Hickey. ⁠

Years of producing events, magazines and marketing got me into working with incredible female entrepreneurs...COCOLILY & CO. was created. ⁠To have a community of like-minded women who just 'got it' - the struggle of sometimes feeling alone as an entrepreneur, coffee & conversations aka networking events to connect x collaborate together...and the COCOLILY Social was produced years ago. ⁠

The first conference for female entrepreneurs in Ontario (yes, it was the first back then, 2016, lol I've been doing this for awhile now). ⁠That event destroyed me financially, and emotionally. My mom was in a hospice during that time and she passed away three weeks later. I stepped away from events (which I loved) because I just couldn't bring myself to produce anything. I was broken and financially drained.⁠

I went off to start the House of COCOLILY, which I love to this day and it was also a safety net after I got a health diagnosis that I never thought I'd get.⁠

My life's experiences have always inspired me to start the next project on my entrepreneur journey. ⁠ Having said that, I am missing producing and creating events now. Who knows what's next...only God does. ⁠🙏

A few other things about me...
☕️ I am in a relationship with my work, a mommy, a fan of The Golden Girls, Gilmore Girls, love my 80’s music & John Hughes movies; and I wouldn’t be able to get through life’s toughest moments without God.
♥ One of my favourite quotes: "The most important thing is to enjoy your life – to be happy – it's all that matters." - Audrey Hepburn
☕️ I believe in my morning Americano (thank you to my little Breville machine for those!), being kind to one another, that everyone makes mistakes, music is good for the soul, and the ocean can heal your wounds.
♥ I am a curator, designer, dreamer and believer. I believe that good things happen with coffee, conversation and collaboration in a like-minded community.

Thank you for being here, a part of the community and a friend. ⁠🤍

With Gratitude,
Renee
