The Story of Satumaa Events

Once upon a time, on a far far island of Turku Archipelago called Rymättylä, there was a house called Satumaja (in English “Fairytale hut”). Its doors were always open to everyone and hospitality greeted you already on the road leading there. After the sudden and too early passing of Satumaja’s owner, the younger generation wanted to continue his life’s work out of respect towards his entrepreneurial spirit, commitment and love for the archipelago. The goal was to bring his hospitable attitude into the event culture and so Satumaa Events was born – a company that makes stories come true. Our name Satumaa means ’Fairy Tale Land’ and it fits our ideology perfectly.

We want to share with our customers the same feeling that Satumaja always brought to us and add the hospitality and warmness into the philosophy of our company. That’s why we are opening the doors to our customers and providing services for everyone to enjoy, both in Rymättylä Satumaa and in any destination the customer wishes for.

The ownership of Satumaa Events is in the hands of three friends. Friends that have grown into a family over the years. That is why we believe that Satumaa Events is a modern family business. We want to invite our customers to be part of our Satumaa Events family.

The story of Satumaa Events came true, and we want to make your story come true too.

Matti Rantanen

Keeper of the Chest, CEO

Favourite saying: Don’t panic, everything will be fine.

The locals say that everybody knows Matti and Matti knows everyone. And this is indeed what our socially gifted, sincere chief executive officer is all about. Matti takes care of the finance and management side of our operations, and his way of working is at the same time easy-going and effective. Matti makes things happen.

Even though Matti’s job mainly focusses on the paper side of things, you can still spot him lending a hand at Satumaa Events.

Harri Rantanen

Steward of the House, Chairman of the Board

Favourite saying: Well planned is half done.

Harri’s job is to make sure that our Satumaa in Rymättylä has top-notch facilities so that you can enjoy your special event there without any worries. If you see a tractor clearing snow from the access road or an ATV bringing lanterns to your party, it’s probably Harri. Harri acts as the chairman of the board and as an advisor in Satumaa Events even in the most challenging business turnarounds.

Antti is our own quota Savonian, that every company should have – at least according to him. We love to make fun between different areas in Finland (always with love) and so this is bit of an inside joke that we gladly will try to explain to you when we need. Luckily he also has other special qualities than just being from Savonia and is therefore responsible for our own and our customers IT challenges, building and updating of webpages, photography and keeping the atmosphere high. Antti knows what he does and it is a pleasure to watch him effortlessly solve problems that seemed almost impossible.

Matti Rantanen

Kirstunvartija, CEO

Lempisanonta: Ei hätää, kaikki onnistuu.

Naantalin suunnalla voi kuulla sanottavan, että kaikki tuntevat Matin ja Matti tuntee kaikki. Tämä kuvaa hyvin sosiaalista, rehtiä ja luotettavaa talous- ja hallintoasioista vastaavaa toimitusjohtajaamme. Matin työtavassa turvallisuutta tuova rauhallisuus ja aikaansaava tehokkuus paiskaavat kättä.

Vaikka Matin toimenkuva painottuu pääasiassa paperinmakuisiin asioihin, voi häneen yhtä hyvin törmätä esimerkiksi auttamassa tapahtumien järjestelyissä.
