Following her true passion of bringing dreams to life through creativity, Shaunette Braithwaite has opened her own business ‘Rare Affairs Event Planning’ with a small team, who creates magic.

Functioning from the Third Floor of Bristol’s building, Hadfield and Lime Streets, Rare Affairs, which consists of Shaunette, her mom, Franzia Braithwaite and her best friend, Dayana Benitez combine their creative minds and hands to creating a lifetime of memorable moments for their clients.

Shaunette told ‘The Buzz’ that this business was built on the creative passion of hers and it allows her to share and create memories with the assistance of her loved ones.
She said that decorating was what she had been doing for quite some years for her family and close friends, and it is only now that she decided to make this her primary business, given that it is what she loves, and she has extended it to more than just decorating but also management and planning.

“I am completely overwhelmed that this is actually happening and I’m actually given the opportunity to express myself in this creative manner. Because this is something that I usually do, but most times for friends and family, and I had one and two clients, but never on such a large scale and putting myself out there. So this is something we’re truly stepping out and trying to bring a different twist and turn to event management and event planning and décor,” she told ‘The Buzz’.

Shaunette said that her team treats each event uniquely, and focuses on giving each client the experience they so desire.

“We understand the importance of each event and so we treat events as special as it is. We treat no event alike. Our plan here is to encourage persons to bring their dreams to reality through our creative arts, and in doing so, bring out my true passion, while putting smiles on the faces of persons,” she said.

In addition, she said that they have also planned to give back a percentage of their proceeds annually, to orphans “because we know they cannot afford the opportunity to celebrate those special occasions, so that is what we plan to do as a return.”
