A special gathering doesn’t need to be a grand, elaborate affair to be meaningful. At The Art of Celebration, we believe in crafting experiences that feel intentional, personal, and memorable—whether it’s a cozy dinner with close friends, an intimate backyard celebration, or a milestone moment infused with thoughtful details.
I’m Chiara, a passionate event planner, and dedicated gatherer at heart. My love for bringing people together started in my own home, where I poured my energy into every detail—menus, cocktails, décor, and ambiance—all to create experiences that felt magical. But I quickly learned that hosting can be exhausting, and too often, the people who plan the celebration don’t get to fully enjoy it. That’s where The Art of Celebration was born.

"Choosing Chiara and The Art of Celebration for our wedding was the single best decision we made! Chiara and her crackerjack team elevate every moment to reach its highest potential for joy, quality, and class. We were also lucky to engage them to do a launch party for our new business, and they did an incredible job. The team is down to earth and professional at the same time, able to pivot to take on any challenge (such as a deluge of rain on our wedding morning!). We can’t wait to work with them again, and I cannot recommend them highly enough!"

"Chiara is a fabulous event planner with a wonderful personality. She helped me create the most fantastic wedding shower for my daughter last year. She was highly professional whole being down to earth, accessible, fun and creative. She listened to what I wanted, gave me great ideas and then carried out the whole thing! The breakdown was magical. She and her assistant did EVERYTHING, including retrieving my car, bringing it to the restaurant and loading it. I could not have been happier with The Art of Celebration!
