Once Extraordinary Events: Where Passion Meets Perfection

Once Extraordinary Events is far more than just an event organization agency – it’s a hub of creativity, passion, and innovation, dedicated to crafting truly unforgettable moments.

Founded in 2008 in Florence by Federica Rotondo, CEO and Founder, Once was born from her deep passion for events and culture. Roman by origin but Florentine by heart, Federica built the agency on a foundation of excellence. Over the past 15+ years, Once has specialized in designing creative events, managing institutional relations, curating communication strategies and producing art exhibitions. Our team consists of highly skilled professionals with backgrounds in business, weddings, art, services, and communication, ensuring every project is a masterpiece. From initial concept to flawless execution, we deliver tailor-made solutions for extraordinary events that are as unique as you are.

But Once is more than a company – it’s a family. Since 2015, Federica has been joined by her daughters Chiara and Giulia, who bring passion, determination and fresh vision to this thriving enterprise.

In 2020, Once expanded its reach by integrating the Tour Operator Talixo Tuscany, offering customized travel experiences designed to create unforgettable emotions for clients exploring the beauty of Tuscany. And now, we are proud to announce the launch of Lux Wedding & Event Studio, our exclusive division dedicated to luxury weddings and bespoke events. Whether you’re envisioning a dream wedding or a one-of-a-kind celebration, our expertise ensures every detail is executed with elegance and precision.

Tailor-made solutions, meticulous organization, and a personal touch – this is Once Extraordinary Events. Let us transform your dreams into reality.
