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 Unforgettable Celebrations—
I’ve always been drawn to the heartbeat of a celebration—the energy, the movement, the beautiful chaos right before it all comes together. It’s not just about logistics; it’s about reading the room, anticipating needs, and creating a space that feels just as good as it looks. That’s the kind of planning I live for.
I started behind the scenes—running plates, polishing silverware, and soaking up every detail I could. What began as a teenage job turned into a deep-rooted passion for curating meaningful events. Over the years, that spark evolved into Futtitinni: a planning studio built on warmth, structure, and thoughtful storytelling. I’m here to make your celebration feel beautifully effortless—one intentional detail at a time.
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.
*“You know,” she said, “even when you were five years old, 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?
Some people are born with natural talent—and mine has always been rooted in design (with a healthy dose of constructive feedback, apparently). Even as a kid, I knew I was meant for event planning, even if I had no idea how to begin. My curious mind loves to dive deep, understand every moving piece, and bring it all together—both a gift and a curse.
Over the years, I explored every corner of the industry—from catering and floral design to invitations and guest experience—before finally launching my own 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.
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?
