I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner — or a better wedding day — without Danielle. She’s so thorough, kind, smart, and helpful. She gave me so many great recommendations and even assisted with tricky family dynamics. The day after our wedding, I had guests asking who my planner was — because everything ran so smoothly. I could not recommend Futtitinni Events more.

Founder, Lead Planner
I’ve wanted to be a wedding planner since I was a little girl—but I had no idea how someone became one. Still, my whole life kept pointing me here.
I started behind the scenes—washing dishes at a country club, scrubbing pans, polishing glassware. Eventually I found myself setting up ceremony chairs and flipping reception spaces, and that’s when it clicked: I didn’t just love weddings. I loved the rhythm of them. The movement. The beauty in the details.
From there, I followed the breadcrumbs. I worked at a flower nursery. I styled invitation suites at a stationery shop. I helped coordinate events in basements, ballrooms, and backyards. Every job shaped me. Every detour added clarity. I didn’t just want to plan weddings—I wanted to understand them.
While Futtitinni officially began in 2018, I’ve been building this foundation for far longer. I just didn’t always have the words for what I was becoming.
Recently, I ran into my aunt—someone I hadn’t seen in years—and we started reminiscing about our loud, lively Italian Christmases.
As we swapped stories, she reminded me of something that made us both laugh.
“Even when you were five years old,” she said, “you couldn’t help but rearrange place settings and critique everyone’s outfits until they looked just right.”
That’s how she remembers me: tiny, opinionated, and already curating the moment.
Five years old. Can you believe it?
Even as a kid, I didn’t know what event planning was—but I knew I loved creating beauty and order. I’ve always had a deep need to understand how things work. My mind likes to make meaning. My heart wants to make things feel right.
Over the years, I explored every corner of the industry—catering, florals, invitations, guest experience—before launching my business.
I love celebrating.
Big wins, quiet moments, wild love stories, and yes… even not burning my chicken.
And now?
I can’t wait to celebrate you.
