how i got into events in the first place, you ask?

I’ve always had an eye for the finer things in life.

I recently ran into my aunt, who I haven’t seen in years. We were reminiscing on our Italian Christmas’ where we would all get together and things would get… LOUD.

As we were mulling over family stories, my aunt told me one that made me let out a little giggle and will forever stay with me. She said she remembers when I was just 5 years old, I used to tell people their outfits didn’t match and I would rearrange settings until they looked just right. That is how she remembers me.

Five years old.

Some people are born with natural talent, mine just so happens to be in design (and apparently constructive criticism?).

I have known since I was young that planning events was in my future, I just didn’t know how. My sweet little inquisitive brain likes to have a full understanding of things before I dive in [a gift and a curse].

I worked in many different realms of the event space from catering to floral to invitation design before I decided to start my business.

I love celebrating.
I love celebrating big wins.
I love celebrating small wins.
I love celebrating big love with very special couples.
I love celebrating NOT burning my chicken.
I just love celebrating.

and I know you doo, too.
So, let’s celebrate together!

Just in case that wasn’t enough…

My mother once told me that I am not a good candidate for online dating because I’m too… “Four Dimensional”. I am excitable, I am joyful, I am encouraging, I am goofy, I am passionate, I am supportive. I am so many things that are difficult to show through photos and words.

I eat, sleep and breathe weddings and events. Seriously. There are no days off and thats okay because… PARTIES!

I’ve never heard this said before but I truly do not enjoy walking my sweet Pekingese, Zoe, nor does she love long walks so we are two peas in a pod. We tried to be those girls but it just wasn’t us. Short walks around the block are 10/10. Pekingese are not known for their athleticism, anyway. Lucky us!

We do, however, love a clean space so you can catch me cleaning, organizing and resetting my space on the regular. My day does not start until my bed is made (and that happens after as I pull the sheets back and let my bed breathe for an hour prior).

I love good food. I mean good food. I mean from scratch food because absolutely no restaurant or diner compares. Which is why I make most things, at home, from scratch. Bread, sauces, pasta, french fries (hey, I didn’t say healthy, I said homemade!). It’s hard to eat at restaurants anymore when I know I can make something so much more deeply satisfying in the comfort of my own home.

I find importance in real human connections. I am not a fan of social media so you won’t typically catch me scrolling. Many of my friends are spread across the country and I like to keep in touch by Facetiming, phone calls and good-ole-fashioned direct communication. Nothing is less personal than a social media Happy Birthday; it will always be a phone call or text from me!

It’s hard to convey a whole entire human through words, so let’s meet up for lattes and chocolate croissants and get to know eachother on a personal level.

Love and dogs,
Danielle

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.

When your roof needs repair; you hire a professional. When your oil needs a change; you hire a professional. When your mental health feels depleted; you hire a professional. When you are planning for your big day; you should absolutely hire a professional.

Leaning on a wedding pro who has seen the highs and lows of events can make your day that much more enjoyable and seamless. We know this can be very difficult passing over these tasks to a complete stranger, which is why we like to get to know each of our couples during our pre-booking process. This also helps to ensure our team is best fit to execute your wedding day.

We have several service offerings to choose from allowing YOU to decide how much or little involvement you have throughout the planning process; giving you confidence and peace of mind that your wedding day is going to be nothing short of perfect.

Many of our clients are career-focused with busy social lives; this leaves very little time to go through the motions and checklists of planning for such an event ensuring no detail is missed. We utilize our network of creative partners, a keen eye for the details and a unique eye for design to incorporate textures, colors and dimensions to ensure your special day is a unique reflection of you.

We cannot wait for you to join our family!

Ciao!
