FTK~Konnect Events

o her clients and ability to negotiate deals is simply amazing. FTK planned my bridesmaids proposal in Houston , coordinated our pre-wedding shoot in Miami, flew with us for food tasting in Puerto Vallarta and planned the perfect destination wedding for us in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. She’s very honest about pricing of items/vendors and will go above and beyond to make sure her clients have the BEST experience. Day of my wedding, I had no worries because I knew I had FTK and she DID IT! She’s now part of my family and we love her so much. I pray her business continues to grow to higher heights by God’s grace. FTK the one and only planner that gets to know her clients and the things they like. I don’t think there’s any planner like her. You are the BEAST in the wedding planning industry.

us in my mind first - very selfless. I was initially worried about her not being locally based but that was never a problem! Her design direction, vendor recommendations, negotiation skills, time mgmt, etc - all things essential in having strong plan and a great experience was five star. Also, her team is exceptional! *I’m smiling thinking about their support*. My family kept saying how amazing they were and took care of every detail, we didn’t even know we needed! Truly exceeded my expectations! It was a royal treatment that I’ll never forget!

nd I got more than what my heart desired. All of the vendors that she recommended to me and my husband were phenomenal. FTK and her team were punctual for all meetings, they were professional, and ANYTHING that I wanted, I got without question, but she always kept it real with me if she knew something was not going to work. FTK herself, advised and counseled me on so many things throughout the planning process and I trusted her every single step of the way. I never worried or questioned her judgement because truly she made me feel comfortable. She was patient with me and my husband, and she stepped outside of her role as a planner to encourage me and be there for me when I was stressed. She went out of her way to speak to my parents and ease their minds on certain issues and concerns that they had, meanwhile she didn’t have to. She spoke to vendors on my behalf to give me top notch service when I did not ask her to. I don’t know what else to say about how truly Perfect this team was for me. When I look back on pictures and videos, I think to myself, “how was I able to have all of this?” I’m forever grateful. I am so happy that I went with FTKKONNECT for my weddings. I LOVE FTK SO MUCH and truly this will not be the only event that she does for me! If you are looking for a team to plan your special event, you will find it with FTKKONNECT! You will NEVER regret hiring them!

s if they are the most important person in the room. She is patient, respectful and very honest! She’s thorough and makes sure her clients get the best value with all vendors booked. She pulled together a Faboulus wedding for my husband and I to include booking the best vendors! Starting from our California engagement shoot FTK helped coordinate our outfits and we had a great shoot! She was involved every step of the way with my wedding gown/ reception dress design and my husbands suit designs. Let’s discuss decor! I didn’t give her much to go on verbally however she looked at my Pinterest board and executed the best decor based off the ideas I loved most! She brought me to tears! Her team was also amazing! Day of my wedding I had absolutely no worries! Trust me! You can’t go wrong going with FTK Konnect Events! She’s the BEST event planner in the DMV

g day! Feyikemi Kukoyi, Director and Owner of FTK Konnect is creative, smart, and well-organized, and she managed to pull off the most elegant, unforgettable, exquisite wedding in less than 6 months, while being out of state, and also during the craziness of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our guests and I were shocked by how beautifully it all came together, and she truly lifted the burden and stress that often comes with coordinating a wedding without a planner, and she made it so that my husband and I could focus on each other and enjoy the process without feeling overwhelmed. FTK listens, understands, and offers great suggestions when and where needed, and throughout the entire process, she was timely, accessible, and communicative (even when out of town overseeing other events). We always felt like her first and only priority, and she was ALWAYS available to us. She also made it a point to check in on us regularly. Often doing far more than your average “planner”. She truly became a friend. FTK is gracious, generous, and extremely professional, and any couple would be in the best of hands if they’re lucky enough to land her as their wedding planner! My husband and I are going on five months of marital bliss, and we are still talking about how awesome our wedding was till this day, and we owe it all to FTK Konnect and her extraordinary team. We can’t thank you all enough! Forever indebted, The Hilton’s

the wedding planning process so easy. I described to her my vision and she materialized it all even better than I had dreamed. FTK and her entire team were such a pleasure to work with. I enjoyed the process so much, I even miss the planning process now!

ing about my wedding ceremony with professionalism and really put my heart at ease on my wedding day. I also need to mention that I never met her in person before my wedding day as we both live in different countries but I trusted that she could deliver and she did! She suggested the best vendors to work with and they all surpassed my expectations with how they delivered their services. FTK is so passionate about her job and goes above what you will expect from a wedding planner to make one's special day memorable. I will always recommend her services to anyone!

he’s a great negotiator! FTK, her team, and my sister were the best at making our day beautifully magical! What more could a bride ask for !!

e choose her. Thank you FTK for making our day memorable.

roughout my entire planning process and actual wedding days. Planning and executing my wedding felt like I was planning it with a friend. She is very professional and always has various vendor suggestions for anything you need! And if she doesn’t have one she will find it! I initially didn’t think I would need a planner from start to finish but working with FTK showed me that there were many things I would have missed along the way if I had planned most of it on my own. The day of my white wedding there was a full staff of coordinators and they were easy to find whenever I needed something. When working with a planner you need someone with experience, and that’s FTK! My day was everything I could think of and more, me and the hubby thank you so much! Love, The Kunle-Kehinde’s

illing to contact as many potential new vendors as you want. The vendors that she does have a good relationship with truly go above and beyond for her. For example, two weeks before the wedding (ahh) we changed our minds about wedding menus and she reached out to her luxe stationary/invitations vendor for a rush order favor. We received beautiful menus as well as acrylic menus for our estate table, for a great discounted price. FTK also went to NYC to pick up the menus herself! Some other vendors, both those we hired and those who we did not hire, commented on her relentless (amazing for us brides!!) negotiation tactics to get amazing prices for her clients. I really had the vendor line-up of my dreams. There is a lot of planning and logistics that went into the wedding that we had to work and talk through but some of the best moments really were the week of the wedding when it came time for the big day. I can say FTK really went the extra mile during this time! For one, there was an issue with my second dress getting fixed and arriving to me which really became stressful. FTK went out of her way to arrange pick up for the dress and waited hours to receive it in NYC area and then drove to long island to drop it off, something I did not have to stress about at all and something she did not have to do. There were also a lot of last minute guest changes (huge hurricane delaying/cancelling flights and well…African wedding logistics lol) and her assistant stayed up the night before the wedding to make sure all the guest cards were updated and alphabetized and ready to go. On the day of the wedding, her other wonderful assistant arrived with wake-up calls and breakfast for the bridal party and made sure we were all good. The team also kept an eye on our flower girls who had quite the amount of energy that morning. I even forgot my garter at home in NY but FTK said it was handled and by the time I got to the bridal suite there was one there waiting for me! The team was a great presence and we had so many laughs. Get you a team that prays with you on your wedding day, mingles with the family, assists with bridal party wardrobe malfunctions and has a team by your side all night!

She was always available to face time, call or text and gives you 100% of her undivided attention which was very important to me. She is definitely ahead of the game and always recommended new and exciting trends that I had never heard of in the wedding industry. One key thing I must say is that FTK has a lot of connections in the wedding industry and on social media. She has great relationships with her vendors and you can tell they truly respect her. I had 3 events on my wedding weekend. My wedding rehearsal, traditional Nigerian wedding and western American wedding. The vendors were punctual for all of them ! Everyone that attended my wedding could not stop raving about how well put together it was. A friend of mine recommended her to me and I will definitely pass it forward and recommend her to anyone looking to plan the wedding of their dreams.

w on earth were we going to bring over 300 guests all under one roof for a wedding that is grand enough to make the experience worth it? I knew that the most important tool I needed to make my dream wedding come true was to hire a wedding planner that was up to the job. Let me just tell you that Faye Kukoyi of FTK Events was the reason why our wedding was as effortlessly flawless as it was. Our wedding was a PRODUCTION and she was the brilliant director behind the scenes. Our dream venue was the Andrew Mellon Auditorium in DC and although the place is beautiful and grand beyond words, it did not come with even a chair to sit on or a broom to sweep with. FTK coordinated every single detail from chairs and tables, to dancefloor, to decoration, to lighting, to bar, to keeping everyone in check and on schedule, to the smallest detail of the bible to exchange our vows! She rolled up her sleeves where needed and did some of the dirty work herself – her diligence and dedication is unlike any I’ve ever seen! After the wedding, I heard all about the many disasters that loomed and threatened the wedding dates that were completely averted or resolved expediently. It was incredibly scary to hear so many crazy things that took place that we never knew about because they made sure to handle it by all means necessary. Funny enough, everyone expected a bridezilla to emerge out of me but I seriously did not have one single glitch or issue to complain about! I was incredibly calm, joyous and carefree! 8.18.18 was the best day of my life, and an unforgettable experience for our family and friends and I could not have entrusted that special day in more suitable and capable hands than those of FTK Events. Thank you, thank you, thank you to Faye Kukoyi and team for your impeccable work ethic! I would choose you over and over and over again!

eam FTK enough for pulling off such an amazing event for us. They pray with you, laugh with you and make you feel comfortable and at ease with the entire process of planning your event. I will definitely recommend team FTK for not just wedding planning but any celebration you have. The best part is that they not only work with you as a vendor, but also create a long lasting client-vendor relationship and that's what I admire most about them..... God bless you and thank you once again!!!
