Kennedy Center, film premieres, and celebrity parties for royalty, politicians, and socialites. Tutera has designed events for charities including the Prevent Cancer Foundation, the Alzheimer's Association, DIFFA (Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS), and The Nature Conservancy.

In September 2003, he married Ryan Jurica in Vermont. The couple separated on New Year’s Day 2013, shortly after their surrogate became pregnant. On June 19, Tutera's daughter, Cielo, and Jurica's son, Cedric, were born. On April 1, 2017, Tutera married Joey Toth, and they currently reside in Los Angeles.
