Meet Your Planner!
Hello, my name is Kanei Rivers.
I was born Kanei Keitt in New York City and raised in Pennsylvania in a family with many siblings and a village of loved ones. I am a wife and mother of eight, four daughters and four American Bulldogs.
My love for event planning began at home with my siblings entertaining ourselves. By high school my passion grew and I started organizing “fully supervised” basement parties that were extremely popular.
I joined the military at 20 years old. I have lived in 5 different countries that have given me the opportunity to immerse myself in different cultural experiences. These experiences have enriched my love and interest in multicultural weddings and events.
During my time with the Air Force, I have planned over 50 executive events dealing with top level VIPs in very demanding situations where I developed my time management skills.
Personally, I love trying new restaurants and cuisines, traveling, dancing like nobody’s watching and I love to gaze at any scenery involving flowing water.
I love to be in touch with nature and its natural beauty,
After 17 years of dedicated service, I gleam with excitement to combine my strength as a military leader with my style and passion for event planning (especially weddings!) In 2020, Events By Kanei (EBK) was created to plan and execute all your event needs.

I had the pleasure of attending a baby shower in Atlanta, GA in September 2022. The event space was themed decorated by Events By Kanei. I knew the mother-in-waiting vision for her event. I can honestly say that we were all presently thrilled by the attention to detail and the perfection of the vision. There were special personalized touches that were offered as special take away gifts for the mother-in-waiting. It is wonderful to have competent, reliable visionaries to take care of an event to make it memorable and beyond expectations. Thank you to Kanei and her team for the experience. Check out Events By Kanei for your next personal event.
