RMG is led by Sienna M. Newton, a Senior Master Sergeant with 27 years in the U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard — jet-engine technician, aircraft production controller, deployed First Sergeant and national trainer — with 13-plus years in New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival operations and experience at Bayou Country Superfest and Essence Fest.
More →Why is it called Riveting Management Group?
Rivets bind things together and make them strong — Sienna was an aircraft mechanic, and her grandmother was a real-life Rosie the Riveter building aircraft in Oklahoma. And "riveting" means spectacular: an event people talk about long after it ends.

Yes. We take your timeline and run the day, so you can enjoy it. When something goes wrong — a forgotten ring, missing music — we fix it quietly, and your guests never know.

From intimate dinners and retreats to festivals with tens of thousands of attendees. Clients have ranged from small business owners to a national museum, professional athletes and festival producers.
