Complete Weddings + Events Franchisee Sue Bennett Named FBR Franchise Rock Star

Bennett, the owner of Complete Weddings + Events in Des Moines, Iowa, was highlighted among top performing franchise owners by Franchise Business Review. Her recognition came in the Women's category celebrating the top female franchisees as selected by FBR, regardless of industry or location.

“It’s an honor to be included among such successful business owners, especially the women on this list,” said Bennett of her recognition. “My journey into business ownership has been so exciting, and I’m grateful to the Complete Weddings + Events franchising team for their day-to-day support and for nominating me to this list.”

The Franchise Rock Star Awards were compiled from nearly 300 nominees in a variety of industries. Franchise Business Review considered nominees for eight categories and named 60 to their Rock Star awards list.

Prior to becoming a franchise owner with Complete Weddings + Events, Bennett had worked in a convention center sales role. Her knowledge of event planning and logistics, while not strictly limited to weddings, provided a strong foundation to step into entrepreneurship. Her early success and dedication so far prompted Complete Weddings + Events to highlight her efforts with a nomination.

“We were so proud to nominate Sue as a Franchise Rock Star, and are thrilled with her selection,” said Clare Moore, Franchise Development Director for Complete Weddings + Events. “She is the perfect example of someone who came in with experience that could translate to our concept, and capitalized on that fit with a commitment to our model. We’re excited to see her continued growth in the future.”
