What started as a side business, while raising four young children, has turned into a full-time career. Anna Jongejan and her husband, Jos, started Royal Luxury Events in January 2018 with the goal of being the premier provider of luxury events in Houston. Since Houston is arguably the most diverse city in the country, that takes a woman and leader of many talents.
“Anna Jongejan has always taken great pleasure in the opportunity to cater to others, having worked as a flight attendant for six years before getting married, becoming a mom and delving into the hospitality industry. What started as a side business, planning elaborate birthday parties for her little ones and friends followed by church functions, ultimately led to her next professional venture. In 2018, she launched Royal Luxury Events Floral & Decor with Jos, her husband of 15 years, and ever since, her trusted team has collaborated with culturally diverse clients to design weddings, galas and corporate events, giving meticulous care to even the finest details. Throughout her journey, Anna, who originally hails from Ghana, has found fulfillment in setting an example for her four children and demonstrating leadership not only as a mother but also a business owner. “I want to give a shout-out to all the entrepreneurial moms who have gone before me and those who haven’t yet started their own business but are thinking about it,” she says. “Stay true to who you are, be a blessing to others, and you will reap the benefits sooner or later. No matter what, remember we are all God’s royalty.”” – Modern Luxury Magazine
