The Vision Behind the Events

Hi! I’m Amanda Santillo, and I’m so glad you’re here.

After spending more than 20 years managing corporate events, operations, and marketing, I’ve learned one thing for certain: every unforgettable event starts with intention, not overwhelm.

I created Santillo & Co. to support modern brides and hosts of all types of events who want beautifully executed events without the stress of doing it all alone. Whether you’re planning a wedding, baby shower, birthday, anniversary party, or vow renewal, I’m here to offer guidance that fits your life and your needs.

From full-service planning to fractional support and customizable templates, I bring structure, creativity, and calm to the planning process. My approach is flexible, approachable, and rooted in real-world experience, both professionally and personally. Yes, I’ve planned two of my own weddings and countless celebrations for people I love!

My goal is simple: to help you create a meaningful, beautiful event that feels like you, and to help you actually enjoy it—from the first detail to the last hug goodbye.

Let’s make it happen together.
