My favorite thing about Danielle, though, is that she is genuinely a good human. She eased all of my worries without question leading up to the wedding as well as on the wedding day.”

From Carrying Trays to Curating Luxury Weddings
I’ve always believed that the best things in life happen when you least expect them—like the day my mom decided I needed a job. True late-90s/early-00s style, she marched me straight into our local country club, looked the owner in the eye, and said, “Put her to work.”
That was the moment everything changed.
I started behind the scenes, running plates and polishing silverware, but it wasn’t long before I was setting up weddings—and suddenly, my teenage imagination was spinning with possibilities. The flowers, the invitations, the candlelit receptions—I wanted to be part of all of it.
So, I followed that passion wherever it led me: a flower nursery, an invitation design shop, and countless coordinating roles, soaking up every detail along the way. Then, after years of experience (and a lot of trust in myself), I knew it was time to take the leap and create something of my own.
That’s when Futtitinni Events was born.
With my easygoing nature and deep Italian roots, I wanted my business to reflect what weddings should feel like—stress-free, joyful, and effortless. A quick Google search for "fuhgettabahtitttt" (yes, really) led me to Futtitinni—which means "don’t worry about it." It felt like fate. A few legal filings and a dream later, here we are.
Now, I get to do what I love most—crafting beautifully curated, seamless celebrations for couples who want to be fully present in the magic of their day.
So, if you’re dreaming of a wedding that’s as elegant as it is effortless, let’s create something unforgettable—together.
A little bit about me…
Recently, I ran into my aunt, who I hadn’t seen in years, and we started reminiscing about our loud and lively Italian Christmases. As we shared stories, she reminded me of something that made us both laugh—she recalled how, at just 5 years old, I would tell people their outfits didn’t match and rearrange place settings until everything looked just right. That’s how she remembers me.
Five years old.
Can you believe it?!
Some people are born with natural talent, and mine has always been in design (with a bit of constructive criticism, apparently!). Even as a kid, I knew I was destined for event planning, even if I didn’t know how to get started. My curious mind loves to fully understand every detail before diving in—both a gift and a curse!
Over the years, I explored every corner of the event industry, from catering and floral design to invitations, before finally starting my own business.
I love celebrating.
I love celebrating big wins, small wins, big love with amazing couples—and even not burning my chicken! I just love celebrating.
And now, I can’t wait to celebrate YOU.
Our “Why”
Futtitinni Events was founded in 2018 with one major goal in mind; to alleviate the stress and overwhelming feelings most couples encounter when planning for their big day.
We believe that your wedding day is one of most important and memorable days of your life, and should be remembered as such.
Without ever having planned a wedding before, you may not have the experience or insight into what works and what doesn’t or how to incorporate personal touches in the most elegant of ways or how to ensure a smooth flow of events throughout the night.
Why Hire a Professional?
When your roof needs repair, you call an expert. When your car needs an oil change, you trust a mechanic. When your mental health needs care, you seek a professional. Planning your wedding is no different. For one of the most important days of your life, you deserve the expertise and peace of mind that only a wedding professional can provide.
Building Trust for Your Big Day
Trusting a wedding pro who’s experienced both the highs and not-so-highs of events can make your day smoother and much more enjoyable. We know it can feel daunting to hand over such important tasks, which is why we take time to get to know each couple before booking. This helps ensure our team is the perfect fit to bring your wedding vision to life.
Why Us?
We offer a variety of service options, letting you decide how involved you'd like to be in the planning process. Whether you prefer hands-on or hands-off, we're here to make sure everything runs smoothly. You’ll have the peace of mind that your wedding day will be nothing less than perfect.
