ABOUT RAFANELLI

Every event begins with a story.

We turn dreams into reality. Weave story into every thread of your event. And conjure a wonderfully collaborative magic to create celebrations that are both unmatched and unforgettable.

One secret? We listen. To understand who you are. Who you want to be. And who (and what) matters most to you. We leave no stone unturned, no detail untended to, no possibility unexplored.

That’s because the most beautiful event is also the smartest event, and we take pains along every step of the way to deliver both. The initial concepting conversations and the design work that realize your vision are so intrinsically linked, one literally cannot exist without the other. And when we layer in the flawless execution that has become the very essence of who we are, the results are simply spectacular.

Our clients are as unique as our events. Individuals, families, Fortune 500 corporations, and non-profit organizations – each looking to create a singular, incomparable experience.

For each, we meet and exceed, their highest expectations – bringing an artistry to execution renowned around the world.

We are Rafanelli Events, and the best event we’ve ever done is going to be yours.

Weddings

It’s not a Rafanelli wedding.
It’s your wedding. Your story.

Our passion is to help make it yours in a way that you (and your family and guests) will remember for a lifetime: a celebration of love, a tapestry of unforgettable moments.

We have been building our reputation for years, perfecting the art of incomparable weddings. Working with only the best partners, we are collaborative, creative, and cool in those moments that require experience. We know the months and weeks before the wedding – for you – should be as special as the day itself.

And that day? Well, at some time during the wedding, time will stop. Wonder will light up the faces of everyone. All at once, there’s no line between dreaming and a dream. Between storybook and story.
Between magic and magical.

The day is everything you ever dreamed of. And more.

Non-profit

Your non-profit event is much more than an event.
It’s your mission.

A mission to touch every single person in the room. To help them deeply feel your passion – not just for that night, but long after. A mission to make everyone feel one cause, one sense of purpose, and one sense of resolve to make a difference where help is needed.

Our mission is to bring that to life, transparently and magically. Crafting and executing perfect storytelling and experiences. Blending humanity with a strategic level of thought and insight.

We understand that the very best non-profit events are celebrations that marry smart with heart.
Emotion will carry your night; results will carry your cause.

Corporate

Behind the theater and magic of your corporate event, we are all business.

No matter what your corporate occasion, we know that every single detail reflects your brand. And every single detail must be perfect.

Then, working together with you, we look far beyond that. How can your company be elevated? Energized? How can your brand add a surprising, engaging chapter to an already world-class story?

The answers to those questions are what take your event to a level beyond corporate, to engagement on a personal level that each guest can intimately feel. Because at the end of the day – or night – a corporate event is really a celebration of the people who are the company, and work with the company.

We never forget that. And neither will any of your guests.

Private

There will never be another you. Nor another event just like this.

We are humbled to be able to contribute to an evening that might be one of the most special nights of someone’s life. To help make the memory of a lifetime is a labor of love.

We have curated and produced entire days and even weekends for groups of family and friends – with events, excursions, dinners, and unexpected experiences that surprise, delight, and resonate with warmth.

We have heard more than once from clients, “This was the best time of my life.” And they meant it literally.

It would be our great joy to do the same for you.

Consulting
& Branding

A brand is simply a personality.
But not always simple to showcase.

While some events come to us robustly imagined, and some partly there, others come to us with a clean sheet of paper and these words: “I want a signature event, but I don’t know what it is.”

That’s music to our ears. And fuel for our creativity, problem solving and strategic insight – which we can unleash for you on day one.

We can conduct market research to assess what other organizations are doing competitively.
Help you recalibrate fundraising goals. Find your ideal mix of event type and frequency.

We can strengthen your brand, expand your brand, or help re-launch it onto an exciting new trajectory.
