Francesca Leonardini  
Owner/Event Planner

Francesca Leonardini started her career in the wedding and event planning business in 1988 where for 10 years, she worked at one of the most prestigious catering venues of Long Island North Shore assisting brides and grooms plan every detail of their wedding and making sure that on the day of their wedding everything went off without a hitch. 

Francesca moved on to corporate America planning events for a Fortune 500 company in New York City where she planned events for the NBA, NFL, PepsiCo, Daimler Chrysler and many more. But her heart was always in the wedding industry.

The turning point came in 2004 when Dazzling Affairs Inc. was created. Francesca decided that it was time to make her dream come true. Putting her creativity and passion for the event planning into a business of her own is a trait and uniqueness that is not found in many. Having planned events from the Hamptons to Manhattan, Francesca's attention to detail and keen eye for the unusual is what sets her apart from the rest…Francesca's many years of experience along with great relationships with so many fabulous vendors is sure to please any couple and make them rest assured and feel stress-free on the big day that they are in the proper hands.
