Over the years, we've built celebrations around love stories, milestones, and one very memorable 70th birthday — each one a little different, but all built the same way: with big ideas, a lot of hands-on work, and a genuine love for making people feel celebrated. Here are a few of our favorites.

If you've been to one of our family parties over the years, you already know what this is really about. Growing up in an Italian-American family, "throwing a party" was never just throwing a party — it was endless food, loud laughter, and every single guest treated like family. Gianna and Michael have been doing this for each other, for you, and for anyone who'd let us, for as long as we...]]></description><link>https://www.consalvocreativeevents.com/post/consalvo-creative-events-is-officially-open</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a5eceb56adee9ecb16213a6</guid><pubDate>Tue, 21 Jul 2026 14:45:05 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8b09c9_0c463071a5984962afb287734f04490e~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_518,h_388,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Gianna Consalvo</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Meet the CFO - Michael Consalvo]]></title><description><![CDATA[My name is Michael Consalvo, and my primary role here at Consalvo Creative Events is Chief Financial Officer.  But before that, I was just a kid in a middle class family from the Chicago suburbs who always had my eyes set on the next great family get-together. There's nothing more I loved than good food, good company, and an overall good time.  As I grew up, I learned the value of a dollar.  I also learned how to stretch and utilize each one to its full and most valuable effect.

For me, that reason goes back further than any job title — all the way back to a high school class I only signed up for so I wouldn't have to give speeches. It All Started With an Acting Class At Glenbard North High School, I signed up for an acting class hoping to avoid public speaking requirements elsewhere. On the very first day, an upperclassman invited me to a Theatre Honors Society meeting after school — and I basically didn't leave...]]></description><link>https://www.consalvocreativeevents.com/post/meet-gianna-the-story-behind-consalvo-creative-events</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a5ecde461674ad8b6e20467</guid><pubDate>Tue, 21 Jul 2026 13:00:18 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8b09c9_9cd265c63a5f4e31ac4581db827cfb6c~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Gianna Consalvo</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
