I'M DANIELA
OWNER, CEO
EVENT PLANNER
FLORAL & BALLOON DESIGNER
CREATIVE BAKER
I was born and raised in Brazil - with a big family and lots of parties! Having sweets after meals was a daily tradition and her grandma is the best dessert maker out there. I moved to CT in 2001, and soon after I met my now husband - Michael!
My love for planning weddings started when I planned my own. I soon realized that I am absolutely obsessed with the details! I was a destination bride, so every detail was planned miles and miles away. And trust me, I planned every detail!!! As a bride, I felt so overwhelmed with all the logistics of planning all the events related to my big day - so I completely understand how you feel!
Fast forward a few years, always having an entrepreneurial spirit, and loving to work creatively with my hands. I started DLicious Sweets Bakery, and quickly became a known name in the CT|NY wedding circle.
In 2022 my team and I created cakes and dessert tables for 42 weddings! Meeting with my couples and listening to their vision for their special day and then being able to create a beautiful dessert table to complement their event was my favorite part of my job!
I realized then that I needed more, and I really missed the planning part of events. So I started Ciao Bella Event Design, and fully planned and coordinated a few weddings last year as well. On top of that, I quickly realized I just love making my clients dreams a reality, and learned balloon and floral design.
My clients love that I am a one stop event company - and I can take care of every aspect of your life celebrations!
I can't wait to learn all about your event dreams, and create a one of a kind day just for you and your guests!
With love,
