Who is ria?


Why is Ria Burns-Wilder, The Top Secret Vegan, uniquely qualified to help you create a day you won’t forget?
Well, on paper, she has the goods. With a background in communications, client development, and event planning, Ria knows how to curate events. 

But that’s not the whole story!
Years before she was the vegan eating, playful, teetotaler she is today, Ria was searching for exhilaration - often in precarious places. After years of gritty survival, she knew the joy and peace she craved couldn’t come from hard living. It had to come from within. 

It was time for a change. 
Ria dove back into her love for the performing arts, returning to music, joining bands from funk to punk, and landing acting gigs on stage and screen. She started meditating and writing every day. She also teamed up with her husband to collaborate on paintings in his studio and they were thrilled to be commissioned to do street art together while also volunteering their time for urban beautification projects. She tapped into herself to find joy, nourish creativity, and start embracing life. 

From "Ria Reckless” to “Ria Renewed”
Ria fully committed to setting her future self up for success by setting aside time for herself in a healthy way. It changed her life.

Soon, her friends took notice and wanted to know how she had transformed. She showed them by curating day long adventures together that lifted their spirits, nourished their bodies, and nurtured their creativity. 

What began as Ria’s hobby became an underground HIDDEN GEM event company that combined great food with an unforgettable day off.
