Speaker: Bryan Rafanelli

Bryan Rafanelli’s exquisite sense of style, attention to detail and ability to transform clients’ visions into unforgettable celebrations have made him a go-to planner for the nation’s most exclusive and high-profile events. From Chelsea Clinton’s “wedding of the decade” to elaborate fairytale-themed fundraising galas for Massachusetts General Hospital for Children to celebrations of the inauguration of President Barack Obama to intimate birthday blowouts – he has produced it all. Rafanelli and his firm, Rafanelli Events Management, owe their success to a simple philosophy: every project presents a unique creative challenge that deserves a one-of-a-kind approach. “My team listens to what you’re imagining,” he says, “then comes back with an idea you never even expected.” The industry has noticed that personal touch.
