From Our World to Yours

A new chapter for Michelle Durpetti Events, and on

A beautiful dinner under the Tuscan sun? Count us

A beautiful dinner under the Tuscan sun? Count us in, always.

Especially when it involves one very long table in the garden, chandeliers hanging overhead, and the kind of view that makes everyone consider extending their trip indefinitely.

Kit and Vinny, you really know how to throw a party.

I definitely did not take the traditional route to wedding planning. 😂

@gene_georgetti, @andiamofarm, political advance and eventually, weddings. Every chapter taught me something I still bring to @michelledurpettievents, especially when it comes to taking care of people and knowing how to handle a whole lot of moving parts.

Turns out, it all makes perfect sense together. 🤍

You know what nobody at this wedding was doing? Wo

You know what nobody at this wedding was doing? Worrying about the rain.

They were drinking wine, passing pasta, cutting cake, smoking cigars, laughing under umbrellas and having a really fantastic time. Which is exactly what we wanted for them.

This entire celebration had to pivot indoors, and our clients trusted us completely when it did. There were plenty of logistics happening behind the scenes, but the guest experience remained the priority throughout.

A little rain in Firenze? Va bene. Pass the pasta. 🇮🇹🍝

Whatever it takes.

That’s pretty much our philosophy.

We’re planners, producers, problem solvers, occasional furniture movers, and professional “we’ve got this” people.

The best part isn’t any of that though. It’s getting to do it alongside incredible clients, talented vendor partners, and a team that genuinely loves the work.

We work hard, we laugh a lot, and somewhere in the middle there’s always a questionable dance move or two.

In our element.

The magic isn’t just in the flowers or the candlelight. It’s in the hundreds of thoughtful decisions made long before guests ever take their seats.

These photos capture our favorite part of every wedding weekend. Being exactly where we’re needed, anticipating what’s next, solving what’s unexpected, and making sure our clients get to experience every moment instead of managing it.

Beautiful celebrations are never effortless. They simply feel that way.
