We worked with Danielle leading up to our wedding and she was very organized and helpful! The workbook they provided was a useful tool for planning. We paid to utilize their decor set-up and take down, which was very convenient. There were some slight tweaks we made once they started decorating, but everything turned out great!
We had our wedding at journeyman & worked worked with danielle from 1928. I appreciated the help during the day of the wedding but felt it was not worth the money we paid… it was very hard to get in contact with danielle some days and when we would plan meetings her time slots were in the middle of the day which is hard for a person working a 9-5…. also a few weeks before the wedding after planning everything with danielle we were told another girl was going to be helping us the day of the wedding. Danielle assured us we would be well taken care of but honestly i did not feel that way. My bridesmaids and MOH also agreed. I constantly had to ask what time it was and ask about the timeline when she should have been at my side reminding me. All guests needed to be escorted upstairs for cocktail hour instead everyone was just standing around confused on where to go next after the ceremony. i couldn’t even help my guests because I was taking photos with the photographer (that should’ve been her job to tell them where to go). she also didn’t remind us order of events during reception like cake cutting first dance etc… A lot of the times she was nowhere to be found, and I was running around looking for her. she started taking down decorations way before the reception was over. I had guests coming up to me still asking where to put the cards because she put the card box in the bridal suite way to early… journeyman forgot
to put out thank spirit bottles for our guests that we paid a lot for, not sure who to blame for that but feel like our wedding planner should of known those needed to be put out….. overall don’t feel the service was worth 3,000
We are so happy we had 1928’s team. Danielle was super responsive, helpful, and so kind. She made sure we were following our timeline and planning to make sure things got done and time and our stress was as low as it could be. Tricia, our day of coordinator, was also so great. She was very communicative and worked well with our chaotic families! She even sprinted to go get my bouquet I forgot before I walked down the aisle. I’ll never forgot that act of kindness. I will recommend 1928 to anyone and everyone. ❤️
1928 Planning Company made our wedding absolutely seamless and flawless. Our day was perfect thanks to Danielle and her team. The planning in the lead-up to the wedding and the day of coordination were fantastic and worth every penny!
Danielle Witucki at 1928 Planning Co made our day so much more special than we could have ever imagined! We were definitely people who needed a lot of guidance throughout the planning process, and Danielle made everything SO easy for us - she truly went above and beyond with recommendations, updates, scheduling, and coordinating. Trust me when I tell you that she made this process basically stress free for my husband and I. After a couple of meetings, she captured everything that we were looking for on our wedding day(ceremony and reception) and on the day of the wedding her decor design and set up was so much more than we could have imagined.
On our wedding day, there wasn't a single thing we needed to worry about or stress over - Danielle was an absolute Rockstar. She handled all decoration set up, coordination with all vendors, and ensured everything happened on time, all while being extremely professional and accommodating.
You can tell that Danielle has passion for this and it shows in her work. We, honestly, felt like we were always Danielle's #1 priority and I could not recommend her enough. If you want every detail for your wedding to be perfect and to not stress about vendors, design and other details, you need Danielle. :)
1928 Planning Company did a WONDERFUL job helping me coordinate my wedding day. As a very organized person myself, I went with day of coordinating to ensure a stress-free wedding day. Leading up to our big day, Danielle was extremely helpful in providing input, answering questions, recommending vendors, adapting to change, and gathering all the little details to ensure the team was prepared. Justine was with us on our actual wedding day, and perfectly executed all the plans that I had worked so hard on and communicated previously. She made game-time decisions when necessary, directed us through unknown parts of the day, helped coordinate with vendors, and helped the day flow as we hoped it would. I am SO happy that I chose to work with 1928 Planning Co. for such an important day in our lives.
Our wedding day would have not been the same without Danielle and her team. I went into the day with low stress and trusting that my vision would come true. 5 stars is not enough-USE THIS SERVICE. You will not regret it!
I highly recommend working with 1928 Planning Co for your wedding! We worked with Danielle for the Day of Coordinator package and she was so helpful throughout our entire wedding planning process. She scheduled regular meetings with us to go through day-of scheduling details and was always available to answer any other questions I had outside of those meetings. Tricia was our Day-Of Coordinator and we loved her! She brought such a positive and energetic vibe to our wedding and really helped for the entire day to go smoothly. She did a wonderful job decorating and cleaning up our ceremony and reception spaces and I was so grateful for this help. I am so happy that we had Danielle and Tricia to help us make our wedding day so special!
Thank you!
Courtney and Eric
I bought the Day of Coordinator package and it was honestly the best purchase of the entire wedding. Danielle was so great to work with throughout the whole process, giving me access to a virtual planning platform, talking me through the planning, and answering all of my questions! She was very knowledgeable about our venue Hidden Vineyard, which was even better. I live out of state, but all of our virtual appointments were extremely productive and accommodating; I was able to meet with her in person once, along with my mom, and it was extremely reassuring and helpful! Justine was assigned as our on-site coordinator on the big day, and she was amazing. She handled all of the decorating wonderfully - even having to move the ceremony inside at the last minute. Having someone there at the end of the night to pack everything up so my family and I could leave was truly so great. I cannot recommend day of coordination services enough, and 1928 Planning Co is the best!
Danielle from 1928 planning company was so amazing to work with. She was able to answer my many emails throughout the wedding planning process. She was accommodating and flexible to our needs. She knew the venue 12 Corners so well and was able to help our vision we had there come to life. It was amazing to see. I could not thank Danielle and her team enough!!
We payed for the day of coordinator but Danielle worked with me throughout my whole engagement. She answered all my questions and we had two calls to make sure everything was perfect. We worked together on a workbook online that made everything so easy to navigate and think about and it also has deadlines on there to keep you on track. Then we had Justine for the day off and she was amazing! All the details were just perfect and everyone complimented everything. I highlt recommend!
Danielle was my #1 resource throughout the planning process. she was prompt, professional, and so attentive to our needs. Her team was prepared on the Big Day, and we could not be any happier!
Danielle was SO helpful throughout our wedding planning process even though we had only selected the Day-of-coordinator service. She was very responsive to any question I had, even if it was late at night. We had Justine for our day of coordinator and she was the biggest help to make sure everything ran smoothly. I highly recommend for any wedding planning service!!
1928 Planning was so great to work with! Our planner Danielle tended to our every need and was quick to reply to our emails, had great ideas, was very communicative with us and our vendors, and day of went above and beyond for us! They also had a variety of items available for rent that helped us to fill out our decor at our venue, and always helped to problem solve solutions for any issues that came up. We couldn't have had such a beautiful wedding without their help. I would highly recommend to any friend getting married in Southwest Michigan!
Danielle, our wedding planner, was invaluable to planning our daughter's wedding. She was outstanding at helping us find vendors, coordinating all details, and answering all of our questions. The day of the wedding, she was there to take care of everything so we could enjoy the big day. We can't thank her enough!
I am so glad we hired Danielle and her team for our day of coordination! She helped keep us on track planning and made sure we were asking the right questions. Our wedding/reception went so smoothly and not have to worry about family/friends cleaning up! It was so great to be able to enjoy the day and let Danielle run the show! Her team is 100% worth every dollar spent!
I don’t even know where to begin when recapping our experience with 1928 Planning Co. — they were instrumental to our September 17, 2022 wedding!
My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Danielle as part of their day-of coordination package paired with few ala carte options (transportation coordination, Shades of Light support, and drapery extensions). The services menu was immensely helpful and it was such a great convenience to have the option to select the offerings that made the most sense for us based on our planning preferences.
Without Danielle’s extensive expertise and input as we navigated, I don’t think the day would have been as seamless as it was. The team on-site for our rehearsal walkthrough and on the day were amazing. They handled our set-up and tear-down with such ease (styled to perfection I might add!) and were amongst two of the best service decisions we made.
Highly recommend Danielle and her team for any event needs!
Danielle was so responsive and incredibly helpful! She helped me remain calm and organized. She was so nice and supportive. She helped guide me to make the best decision for our day. Because of her, we had a carefree day and it all went perfectly! I can’t say enough good things about Danielle and 1928 planning co!
Working with Danielle from 1928 was easily one of the best decisions that we made while preparing for our big day. Having a designated point of contact that was familiar with this whole process was invaluable. Her support and guidance helped make our wedding day stress-free and beautiful! We couldn’t be more thankful and highly recommend 1928 for any couple who are at any point in their planning process! Thanks Danielle!
Danielle and 1928 helped us plan our wedding at Watermark Solarium and we added on the Day of Coordination. She is absolutely incredible and I cannot imagine the wedding planning process without her. She responds to emails incredibly quickly, always providing excellent guidance and recommendations from all her experiences. We always felt like a priority regardless of how far away our wedding date was. 1928 has an amazing planning workbook that we used frequently throughout the process to keep ourselves organized. Her consultations were always SO helpful and as a very type-A couple ourselves, we were always surprised by how many moments we had where she'd ask us questions that we hadn't thought through yet. Danielle is incredibly organized and really made us feel confident in knowing the wedding would be successful with her help. On the actual wedding day, she helped with all the decorations (and we had a lot!), organizing all of our small touches, making the space look perfect, and kept us on schedule even when we were late returning from some pictures during cocktail hour. The 1928 team ensured that our wedding went smoothly without any issues, and we couldn't be more grateful for them! They also did an amazing job of taking down all the decorations and cleaning everything up so we didn't have to worry about anything. Having all of them on site throughout the day really took a lot of stress away and we can't recommend them highly enough! Thank you 1928!
Can I give them 10 stars? Danielle and the 1928 team are AMAZING. Without Danielle, we probably couldn't have pulled off a wedding half as good as the one we had. We hired Danielle for partial planning and utilized some of her rental collection. We were both three hours from the venue location so we really relied on Danielle's local expertise. Throughout our two year planning process, Danielle was extremely responsive and was always available to meet with us. We always felt like a priority even when we were years away from our date. She answered all of our random little questions and kept us on track and organized throughout the process. Planning a wedding is stressful but after one minute of talking to Danielle, all of our stress melted away. Danielle is an extremely calming presence, very professional, and is on top of everything. On wedding day, she kept our timeline moving, set up our event spaces, and made sure we had everything we needed. We cannot think of a single thing that went wrong day of, mostly thanks to Danielle. We are eternally grateful to Danielle for pulling off the wedding of our dreams. Do yourself a favor and hire this company!
Danielle and 1928 were immensely helpful in planning and coordinating our wedding! Planning from mostly out of state, it was so nice to have someone in the area whose guidance we knew would align with our wedding vision and that we could trust. Danielle expertly kept us on track during the planning process while also helping us manage vendors leading up to wedding day. She and 1928 also helped plan our rehearsal dinner, ensuring that the whole wedding weekend went off without a hitch! We would highly recommend working with Danielle and her team for your event.
Danielle and her team are experts on organizing & executing events. Absolutely wonderful customer service. Always made me feel my opinion and needs are first & foremost. Great communication. Would not have had the perfect day without their help and execution!
Danielle and her amazing team were a joy to work with. Danielle made sure I felt confident about everything leading up to the wedding weekend. She helped run our rehearsal to ensure it would go smoothly. I had no anxiety the day of our wedding, knowing that everything would be taken care of exactly how I wanted it. My husband and are are so thankful for the amazing team at 1928 Planning Co.
We hired Danielle and 1928 Planning Company for their Day of Coordination services along with a couple of "a la carte" services (extra clean up and extra supervision time during the evening). We are so glad that we did. Danielle helped keep us organized during the final stages of planning and insured that we did not miss or forget any details. Danielle's pleasant and calm demeanor and obvious efficiency, competency and problem solving skills kept us calm and happy. We would not have enjoyed the wedding as much as we did without her support. We highly recommend 1928 Planning Company particularly if you are holding a wedding at venue that requires you to hire and coordinate all of your own vendors and activities.
Danielle helped us plan our wedding at Watermark Solarium and we also added on Day of Coordination. Danielle provided us with an easy to use workbook to go through that covered all the parts of planning a wedding. The Day of Coordination was also incredible. The 1928 team set up all of our decor on the day of our wedding and boxed everything up at the end of the night. The decor looked incredible. We had a lot of decor that we had purchased to set up and everything looked better than I could have hoped for. They also kept our evening running smoothly and helped coordinate the shuttle bus throughout the night to help guest get back to their hotels. We also rented some items from 1928 including their firepit and chairs for outdoors in the courtyard and their giant jenga set. These items were used all night and guests seemed to really enjoy them. I would absolutely recommend using 1928.
1928 was fantastic! Throughout planning, they were easy to work with through emails and meetings. The workbook that was created helped us stay organized and allowed us to understand what additional items we needed to focus on. We chose to utilize the day of coordination and we are so glad we did. The team made the wedding day run smoothly and allowed us to focus on sharing the day with our guests, instead of having to work out the final details with the vendors. Would highly recommend 1928 and their day of coordination offering!
We chose 1928 Planning for our Day of Coordinator and it was one of the best decisions we made for the wedding. Danielle was extremely helpful during all stages of planning – answering random questions, vendor suggestions, wedding timeline, set up/tear down of décor, etc. Logistics of the day went off without a hitch and we couldn’t have done it without her. Getting a day of coordinator is one of the best things you can do to ensure you have a calm, stress free wedding day. Having Danielle on-site really allowed me to enjoy the day because I knew we were in great hands. They’re worth every penny.
Danielle and 1928 helped us plan and host our wedding at Solarium in Stevensville. She was organized, responsive, and easy to work with. She thought of all the little details that ensured we had everything covered. So much so that she went out on the day of the wedding to get a tide pen to remove a sightly smudge on my wedding dress.
Their day of planning service is a must to take the stress out of decor set up and take down.
Take advantage of their rentals. It makes finding those little details super easy!
1928 was an absolute joy to work with. My husband and I both come from different lines of planning. I come from large scale hospitality while my husband has run the lighting and audio for various large productions at stages all over Michigan. We didn't necessarily need someone to help us plan our event from the beginning, but what we really needed was someone who could take our vision and run with it. Danielle took our plan and worked with us for months leading up to our wedding. She worked with us to complete the most specific and comprehensive google doc that had every single moment of the actual day planned and organized. With this doc I was able to send her messages with new updates and upload photos for the design we were going for. She made our vision come to life with more sparkle and pizazz than I could have hoped for. To her additional credit I almost never saw her until she needed me to move to the next location or she wanted to bring me a cocktail and if there were any issues, I never heard about a single one. She was our team leader and she performed her duties 100% successfully. Not only did she put together the most beautiful wedding, but she also tore it all down on her own which is INSANE because we brought everything in a uhaul having had to travel hours to our venue. She packed up our entire wedding in about an hour and we never even saw it happening. Hiring 1928 to be our day of planner was the absolute best investment we made when it came to our wedding. I will shout it from the rooftops to any of my friends getting married. Do yourself a favor in advance, and just hire them now. You don't need to look any further or think any more on it. Just do it.
Danielle, Stephanie, and team were absolutely amazing to work with! Our day was seamless and I did not have a worry in the world! Highly recommend 1928!!
I had an amazing experience with this vendor from the first initial call to the day of my wedding they made sure everything was organized and ready for the big day. There was not a detail left behind. The place cards were made incorrectly by me and they didn't skip a beat on making new ones and hand cutting them hours before the wedding. We had a few events take place that messed up our timeline not due to the vendor but us and they again didn't skip a beat, changed up the timeline to accommodate everything we had going on. Everything was packed up and nothing was left behind. I would recommend using them for your big day ! I don't think it would have turned out the way it did without them.
We used a handful of rental items (cake stands, bird cage, votive candles, and easels) from 1928 for our wedding and everything was perfect! Communication with Danielle was professional, responsive, and easy to figure out arrangements and logistics! The process of picking up and returning the items was also easy and flexible! I would highly recommend working with Danielle and her team to ensure your vision is brought to life seamlessly!
I was initially very excited to work with this vendor. They were very communicative and organized. When it came to the big day there was a turn of events. Yes they set up everything correctly but they literally only set things up. Nobody came when I was getting ready, I wasn’t being guided to keep on timeline, didn’t ask if I needed anything or even a drink when I had nothing during toasts. They basically were MIA and only there to setup and tare down (which hour florist or venue could do). A day of planner should be by your side when needed which was not the case. Not to mention they didn’t save any of my items but assured me it was going to be taken care of. So I was left out of my place cards and my bouquet was thrown out (which I was planning to save). Overall they were a HUGE disappointment and say stay away. I’ve seen many day of planners & they didn’t do anything. My own bridesmaids even noticed the lack of attentiveness.
1928 was awesome and a huge help planning my wedding. Stephanie did an amazing job, and made the process stress stress free and enjoyable.
We also used them for our rentals. What I appreciated was at no time did I feel like they were forcing me to rent more from them. I truly felt like together we planned what rentals I needed, and when discussing budget they were open to finding ways to save money.
We had a wonderful experience having 1928 as our day of coordinators. They were incredibly helpful in the weeks leading up to the wedding, made sure we didn’t miss a single detail and helped our day go off without a single issue!
I hired 1928 for a "day-of coordinator", as I was comfortable planning everything but wanted someone to do the running around the day of to ensure everything was smooth. I was assigned Stephanie and thank god....because she did an amazing job! I got married at a venue where I had to bring everything in and setup. She handled the million things I threw at her with a smile and paid great attention to detail. I'm a former wedding planner myself, so I was pretty picky on what I expected. It's so important, as a bride, not to worry about anything that day...to sit back and watch your planning unfold beautifully ....I was able to do that. Thank you!
Danielle and 1928 was absolutely crucial in the entire process of planning our wedding. Looking back on the whole process, we could not imagine it without Danielle's guidance. Her consults and workbooks helped us plan things that we didn't even realize we needed to plan. Our wedding day went off without a hitch and a huge part of that was thanks to 1928 Planning Co. If I could give any piece of advice to any prospective couples out there- hire this company to help you plan your day!! You will not regret it.
We didn't really choose 1928, but I'm so happy we got "stuck" with them! 1928 were the Venue Coordinators at our venue, The Veranda. We upgraded our service with them for Day Of Coordination, Rentals, Lighting and Transportation Coordination. And boy were they excellent! Stephanie was fantastic! Always responsive! Their process is really helpful to make sure no detail is missed. The setup and clean up at the end of the day made the Day Of worth it alone, and there was so much more they did!! Stephanie wrangled our bunch for the rehearsal, was there to make sure things went off without a hitch on wedding day and had staff there on site all night to make sure things went as planned. Thank you so much Stephanie and 1928!
We used 1928 for our wedding at 12 Corners Vineyard. Stephanie was our point of contact leading up to the day of and she was readily available/easy to contact for any questions we had. We upgraded to the day of coordination and it was absolutely worth it! Everything went off without a hitch and I didn't hear a peep the day of. Everyone was extremely kind, helpful, and professional - they made our wedding day go smoothly and everything was beautiful!
Dakota and I booked the Veranda @ the Whitcomb and 1928 was included with the venue. They have a variety of upgrade options, but even their basic package is so helpful. You can pick and choose what upgrades you would like. Having options really helped us stay in our budget! From the beginning Danielle and her team were professional, timely and helped guide me to the perfect wedding day. Even when I had random questions, I would hear from her within 24 hours. If it was a busy weekend for 1928, they communicated that as well and always followed up appropriately. The workbook was such a help in planning my day and knowing what I needed to complete. The day of the wedding was perfect. We did upgrade to have decorations put up and taken down. Being from out of town we arrived to Saint Joseph on Thursday. I did not have to think or do anything for the wedding until the day of. I chose to do my own flowers, so the day of we dropped off our decorations and flowers. Spent about an hour putting them together, and from there the 1928 team did the rest. When we arrived for the ceremony everything was perfect. They followed my ideas and plans to the T. Thanks to Danielle and 1928 I was able to enjoy time with family and friends, relax before the wedding, and live in the moment the second we arrived. I cannot imagine my day without them!
We hired 1928 planning for day of coordination. Danielle was amazing. She responded to my emails and questions in a very timely manner. I love how organized I felt going into our wedding day by filling out the client workbook. Danielle is amazing, and any bride and/or couple that gets to work with Danielle is lucky!
1928 Planning Co was a wonderful company to work with! We used them for partial planning (day-of services only)- I had no idea this was a service but it was a life saver! Danielle and her team provided clear, concise, and constant communication to ensure our wedding day went off without a hitch. Set-up and tear-down went smoothly, not a single item missing, and it was all decorated exactly as I had described! Friendly and conscientious service all around.
They were amazing and very professional. I had no worries as the bride. I couldn’t have been more happier.
Danielle and her team were the only reason I felt any sense of calm on my wedding day. Danielle was so awesome leading up to the wedding - particularly navigating through a wedding reschedule because of Covid and a difficult venue. I hired them for day of coordination services, and they were worth their weight in gold - I should have hired them to help with more. They were professional, prompt, friendly and so easy to work with. I felt that they had complete control of helping our day go smoothly. I can't recommend them enough!!
1928 Planning Co. is amazing! We contacted Danielle on very short noticed because we realized only a couple weeks ahead of our wedding that with the way our wedding day timeline was set up, we would need help setting up our reception room décor. Danielle was incredible right from the beginning. She made the entire process extremely easy. She worked with me over the phone since I am from out of state to make sure she had our vision down and was extremely flexible and super accommodating with us dropping off all the décor at the 1928 Planning Co. office ahead of time. Would absolutely recommend 1928 Planning Co. to anyone planning a wedding-- cannot stress enough how great they were and what a beautiful job they did making our reception room vision come to life!

Best decision we ever made!
We live roughly 3 hours away from the St. Joseph area, and had to plan a wedding during a pandemic, I think it is easy to say that we are straight up insane.
Danielle and her team made our special day go off without a hitch. We felt so comfortable leaving the reigns in their hands and would not have been able to enjoy our special day without their help.
If I could go back and do it all over again I would have opted for the full wedding planning package instead of the day of coordination. Do not think twice about booking 1928 Planning!
Danielle and the entire 1928 team is absolutely amazing. Event coordination was included with our venue; however, since we were planning an out of town wedding we decided to upgrade to full planning. From start to finish, Danielle was available for all our needs. She kept us on track with timelines, provided great resources, kept us calm and focused on important items. She really listened to us and and made our vision a reality. Danielle paid attention to details that we never would have thought about and was very patient and quick to respond with all our questions. Wedding planning was fun, exciting, and very little stress all because of Danielle and her team. We could not imagine planning a wedding, let alone it being a perfect day, without 1928 and their services. Highly recommend!
I used 1928 for day of coordination and they were absolutely amazing. My day was stress free which is exactly what I needed.
highly recommend hiring 1928.
We hired 1928 for day-of services for our wedding in June 2021. Danielle provided great insights about our venue and other vendors during our initial consultation as she is very familiar with the SW Michigan area. She was readily available for questions throughout our wedding planning then became an asset during the last month of planning. She helped with the layout, timeline, and where decorations would go. Stephanie and Emma were our day-of contacts that organized the rehearsal, set up, and tear down the day of so I did not have to worry about any of it! Overall they did a spectacular job and the whole day ran incredibly smoothly on my end. I was blissfully unaware of any behind the scenes work that went on to have the day go off without a hitch!
Danielle and the rest of the 1928 Team are amazing. I'd highly recommend to any couple who is getting married! When my husband and I first got engaged I really toyed around with the idea of having a " Day of" Coordinator. I wasn't sure if it was necessary but after realizing I really don't know the in's and out's of a wedding and speaking to friends who have gotten married, we were quickly convinced. And to anyone out there, I would say it is absolutely necessary to have AT LEAST a "day of" Coordinator for your wedding. Danielle was absolutely wonderful and helped us with every little aspect for the 2 months leading up to our wedding. She was extremely professional and put me at ease during the whole planning experience. 1928 was extremely flexible when we had to postpone our wedding during Covid which was extremely nice. Our wedding rehearsal and actual wedding went incredibly smooth because of Danielle and her team, I did not have to worry about one thing which is definitely worth it when you're the bride! If you are in need of a wedding planner or "Day of" Coordinator, look no further - you need to hire 1928 Planning. Thank you Danielle and 1928!
Have a wonderful experience with Danielle! She was prompt on responses and very helpful!
Working with Danielle and 1928 was amazing from start to finish! I highly recommend them for day of coordination and event design. I truly wanted to make sure that on the day of the wedding I didn't have to worry about a thing and neither did any of my family and friends. The day ran so smoothly because of Danielle and I honestly felt like a guest at my own wedding and it was a dream. She kept me on task on my planning and made the process so much easier especially in the last few months leading up to the wedding which was so helpful and such a stress relief when dealing with covid restrictions sometimes made it less than fun. She was truly on our team and ready to help us pivot our plans in any way that was needed even last minute because of the unknowns of being a covid bride :). Finally, decor is not my strong suit so we also used Danielle for event design to create the whole look for our reception space and it turned out absolutely STUNNING. If you don't know what direction to go I highly recommend using 1928 for this as well as it was 100% worth it.
Our wedding at 12 Corners was the most magical day. We worked with Danielle to coordinate the wedding and she was spectacular. She was responsive, helpful, knowledgeable, patient & efficient. We were so happy that we got to work with her. She took a lot of stress off our shoulders - especially while planning during a pandemic. She helped make the day perfect and we are extremely grateful for all of her effort. The venue is beyond beautiful. I would recommend getting married in the fall because the backdrop is breathtaking. Our day was chilly but the tent was warm with the sides down & heaters. Best venue ever!
We used them for our day of coordination. They were great! I highly recommend them so it takes the stress off you for the wedding day! Their planning workbook really helps you plan the wedding from start to finish.
We initially hired 1928 pre-Covid when we were expecting 150+ guests. We ended up with about 50, so we didn’t necessarily need them quite the same way. They did a great job of set-up and take-down of decorations which meant we literally had nothing but ourselves to worry about on the day— that alone is worth all the money we paid. They also really helped keep us on track in the weeks leading up with organization and asking quests we hadn’t thought to ask. They weren’t quite as involved or hands-on as we’d expected, but also my (new) wife and I are very organizing & in the live events business so we probably did a lot more than we needed to out of habit.
We hired 1928 for Day Of Coordination and it was worth every penny. Danielle and Stephanie are organized, experienced, and professional. Danielle was able to change things at a moments notice with the ever-changing restrictions due to COVID. The day of my wedding I didn't have to worry about anything. Danielle did all of the set-up, decorating, coordinating, and tear-down. If you are debating on whether or not to invest in 1928, do it!
Planning a wedding in 2020 came with many challenges and we were so thankful to have Danielle's support to navigate through them all! Throughout the entire process, she remained a steady, calm source of encouragement. She listened to us, really understood our vision and kept coming to the table with ideas and creative solves to allow us to still execute our dream wedding in line with state COVID regulations. She helped us to completely transform our ceremony and reception to take place outdoors (with just a few months notice!) for the first time EVER at our venue without having to sacrifice our vision one bit! Leading up to the wedding Danielle captured every single detail of our vision for the day. On our wedding day we were able to relax and enjoy without a single concern for schedules/decor/etc. because Danielle took complete control and executed everything beautifully as planned. Not only was Danielle awesome, but her cost was significantly more reasonable that other planners we consulted with at the beginning. 1928 was by far the best investment we made for our wedding day - Danielle is a unique gem in the space and a trusted sidekick to make your vision a reality!
We worked with Stephanie at 1928, and opted in for additional wedding planning services outside of what our venue provided. She was always very quick to respond and answer any questions that we had and even assisted us with finding additional vendor partners to work with. Throughout the entire process Stephanie made sure we had all the information we needed to throw the wedding we wanted.
Unfortunately we had to make the difficult decision to cancel our large wedding in Michigan, and instead had a small intimate gathering in Wisconsin. This meant that we would no longer be able to work with Stephanie and her team. Calling to cancel was a very difficult call to make as we truly enjoyed all our time working with Stephanie.
I have no doubt that had we gone through with the larger wedding, everything would have been perfect! We cannot recommend Stephanie and the 1928 team enough!
I cannot say enough great things about my experience with 1928 Planning for partial planning and day of coordination for my wedding. We had so many changes to work through due to COVID including date changes, multiple venue changes, overall safety concerns, and bridal party changes up to the hours before our event which was all extremely stressful. Having Danielle and Stephanie in our corner to help us manage through it all was an absolute relief. Danielle kept us organized, made amazing recommendations, shared advice, and was extremely patient leading up to the day. Stephanie was there for the rehearsal and day of and was so kind, professional, and helped so much throughout the day including packing up decorations. I cannot thank the 1928 team enough for their hard work and flexibility!
