Futtitinni Events

My husband was skeptical about hiring a wedding planner because he said "you're organized, why do you need someone else's help?" Insert Danielle. There is not a single bad thing I can say about Danielle McKee..she is without a flaw. But seriously. This woman was the absolute star of the show for our wedding weekend. Every single person who noticed Danielle during our wedding commented on how organized, kind, and detail oriented Danielle is. To know Danielle is to literally love her. I wish that we could get married 100x over to just get to work with Danielle every weekend because she is just that good. I consider myself a very detail oriented (and potentially controlling lol) person but Danielle took away every care that I could have had as a bride and truly let me enjoy every aspect of mine and my husbands wedding day. My only regret was not hiring Danielle for the entire wedding planning experience (we only got the partial package) because I wish I could have spent more time with her! By the end of your wedding, you will feel like you have known her for years and she will fit right into your group. Danielle we all loved you and appreciate you more than you know! Thank you again and if you need a sign to hire Danielle-do it!!

Danielle was hired as my day of planner/coordinator for my November wedding. I would really consider her day of services as month of coordination, though, because of how much she benefitted my husband and me. Danielle was actually recommended to me by our florist - she gave us a discount for hiring Danielle due to how helpful she is. Knowing I wanted to hire a DOC, I took the plunge on Futtitinni Events and I am SO happy I did. I don’t really have a way to put into words how phenomenal Danielle and her sister, Christina, were on our Big Day. If something went wrong at our wedding, they made sure I wasn’t bothered with it, and I still have no knowledge of it (if something did in fact go wrong). Leading up the wedding, Danielle was incredibly helpful and guided me on “all the things”. She jumped right in and owned it in the month or two leading up to our wedding and I attribute the lack of stress I felt beforehand all to her. She finalized our timeline with all of our vendors and on the wedding day, I was able to just go where/do what I was told without a worry in the world. Danielle also has impeccable attention to detail and I knew she would ensure everything looked perfect. It’s evident that event planning is her passion and she’s a natural. My favorite thing about Danielle, though, is that she is genuinely a good human. She eased all of my worries without question leading up to the wedding as well as on the wedding day. Danielle also got to know my family during the wedding which I found to be so kind and caring. In addition, she was quite literally my “hype squad” and her positive energy is so contagious. If there’s one thing I can say for certain it’s that Futtitinni Events was worth every darn penny. Do yourself a favor and use them for your event, I promise you won’t regret it.

I cannot imagine my wedding experience without Danielle and everything she did to make it perfect for us. She was attentive, patient, creative, organized, and truly caring of what our vision was. I’ve never had, or heard of anyone else, having an experience as great as ours. I will never stop recommending her to everyone I can!

Danielle is an absolute rockstar and my day would NOT have been the same without her.  She is detail oriented, organized, supportive, and everything you could ever want in a day-of coordinator.  She went above and beyond in everything she did for us.  Our stress-free day was all thanks to her and her wedding expertise & years of experience that made us trust her with our vision of the day.  Hire this sweet soul and you will not regret it!!

Danielle McKee was very professional and cared about managing our wedding event. The staff was exceptional also! I highly recommend her to pull your wedding or event off without a glitch!

Having Danielle at the rehearsal and the day-of the wedding of my daughter was a relief. I cannot describe how having her there to handle all the details was immeasurable. Have to say Danielle knowing to use white chalk to get a red spot our of my daughter’s wedding dress right as the pictures were starting was worth every penny!!! It brought immediate peace and a smile back to my daughter’s face. I would highly recommend having Futtitinni Events handle all of the details or just a few days of the wedding festivities. Danielle is organized, energized and thoughtful.

My band worked with Danielle of Futtitinni Events on June 23, 2023, and she was simply a delight! As a fellow vendor working at a wedding event, she was clear on communication, passing along the timeline and other details from the bride & groom beforehand, and she didn’t micromanage us. As the band, there are certain things that we need to do that are included in our services, such as MC services. We were able to do what we needed to do for the Grand Entrance, for example, without any interference. As a matter of fact, all of the vendors were able to do what they needed to do the entire night to ensure that Megan & Jacob (our bride & groom) had a night to remember. Danielle is an absolute peach and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator, and I’m certainly looking forward to working with her again in the future. I highly recommend Danielle for sure!

Danielle was great! She was organized and creative. She had great ideas, like a flower bar at the end of the night. We hired her for day of the wedding and she did all the pickups and ran things during the wedding

Hands down.. the absolute BEST COORDINATOR/PLANNER OF ALL TIME. Danielle is such a sweetheart. She is constantly giving 150% best work. Communication is excellent. She was there for me for ALL of my bridal meltdowns and panic attacks and had the voice of reason and calmness to help me work through it and figure everything out. Danielle is the definition of "above and beyond" in service because she made sure the best day of our lives went smoothly. There was nothing that I had to worry about! Danielle is the best of the best and I would have another wedding just to hangout with her! Thank you so much Danielle!

I got married on 11.19.22 and it was truly the best day of my life. My planner Danielle from futtitinni events was truly just incredible. I first met her when I was bartending weddings and snagged her card before I was even engaged because she was so impressive at that wedding. She did even better at my wedding. There was a snow storm that caused absolute chaos for the vendors, many of which were traveling over an hour and I legitimately had no idea because she took care of everything and it turned out absolutely perfect. We had probably one of the most difficult weddings for most of our vendors (I found out after, all of the many things that went wrong). Danielle problem solved for me, made all of the right decisions, made things look absolutely beautiful, and was running the show from start to finish. My venue staff was so impressed they want her to work there and my MIL has already hired her for my SIL wedding for when she gets engaged. Cannot say enough positive things about my experience. 10/10.

Danielle is the BEST!! I have nothing but wonderful things to say about her. I wasn’t going to originally hire a day of coordinator, but this is the best decision I made for our entire wedding. It would’ve been a disaster day without her help. During the planning process you don’t think of all the things that will need to be done while you’ll be busy getting ready—and obviously you can’t be the one doing it. Wow there was so much, and she took so much pressure off my shoulders! She became a friend in the process by all of the in-depth conversations of what my vision was for the day of—and she knocked it out of the park! I truly appreciate how upbeat and fun those meetings were too (our cat Mow Mows also enjoyed her company), as it builds the comfort and trust very high before the big day! Both my husband and I couldn’t be more grateful for her and all the hard work she did! You can really go into wedding day without any worries and trust that she will take care of every little hiccup (bc it’s a wedding, and yes there will be hiccups). And extra bonus points for being able to bustle my dress correctly even though some of the numbered ties had ripped off! Hire her NOW—trust me you’ll also say it was the best decision you made.

Danielle was the best wedding planner EVER! She made my life so much easier and special. I couldn’t have imagined our day without her. She was always available when I needed her, she provided guidance on so much, she made decisions for me that I didn’t want to make, and was just overall pleasant to work with. I highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding!

We hired Futtitinni Events to coordinate our Lake Michigan wedding, and they were phenomenal. Danielle met with us months before our wedding, and was a source of knowledge and support throughout the whole process. She helped us build our timeline piece by piece, making suggestions based on her previous experience at the venue. She is extremely meticulous and detail-oriented, and was so busy behind-the-scenes on the day-of. But she was calm, cool, and collected the whole time, which was a welcomed presence :) We are so thankful for Danielle's service, we never could have pulled off the wedding of our dreams without her!

Danielle was attentive, organized and and incredibly helpful! I'm so glad to have found her and highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a DOC. Danielle was willing to meet up ahead of time to get some decorations so that we didn't have to transport it to the venue on the day of the wedding. This was a huge relief and took a lot of the stress off my plate so we could enjoy the day. She's kind, easy to talk to and even easier to work with.

DANILLE IS AMAZING!!! We hired Danielle as our day-of-coordinator and it was the best decision I made regarding our wedding! She made sure everything was set up on time and exactly how I wanted. If you're looking for a sign to hire a DOC, here it is: DO IT (and hire Danielle) !! Even my husband (who was hesitant at first) agreed that we were fortunate to have her. She is super organized, knowledgeable, friendly, and communicative. I also recommend adding on the rehearsal run-through! Because of Danielle, I had a stress-free morning and had time to relax with girls the day of my wedding!

We hired Danielle for day of coordination services and it was one of our best decisions! She was an amazing staple to making our wedding day run so smoothly, and she made the day absolutely stress free for everyone involved. If you’re thinking of hiring Danielle, DO IT! You will not regret it.

We hired Futtitinni (Danielle) as a Day-Of Coordinator for our wedding earlier this summer. We could not have been happier with her attention to detail, flexibility, problem solving, and overall kindness. After our wedding, we had several family members and friends mention to us how coordinated Danielle was, and how much of a joy she was to work with. We would absolutely recommend Danielle for anybody looking for planning assistance for a wedding or any large event!

Danielle was absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish! She was very knowledgeable, has great professional connections, and a plethora of experience. Danielle did an amazing job setting up and transforming the space into our vision! She kept the day running smoothly and handled every challenge with ease (even when it started raining just before our outdoor ceremony). Danielle communicated with the venue, vendors, and our parents so we were able to fully enjoy our special day. Did I mention Danielle is also SO MUCH FUN to work with?? I HIGHLY recommend Futtitinni Events and Danielle to anyone getting married (no matter how big or small the event!) She is without a doubt the wedding coordinator you need on your special day!

I work for a local catering company in Grand Rapids and had the pleasure of meeting and working with Danielle last weekend at a common wedding we both shared. I have worked quite a few weddings in my 8 years of catering and I can honestly say that Danielle is the best of the best. She had answers to all my questions on the food side of things, knew exactly what the bride wanted, was attentive to everyone’s needs and was just the sweetest person. She went above and beyond the entire night. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone getting married.

Danielle is absolutely amazing to work with, she made our wedding stress free! She is professional, thoughtful, and most importantly thorough!! We truly could not be happier with her services. Our guests were also extremely impressed with Danielle! We HIGHLY recommend Danielle! We did not use a wedding planner, and Danielle made it so our wedding was flawless as our day-of coordinator. A sincere part of me wishes we had hired her sooner as a wedding planner because she truly made our wedding less stressful and come together perfectly!

Danielle was beyond fantastic! She handled everything we asked, things we didn’t even think about and then some. I can’t imagine our day running as smoothly as it did without her expertise! Knowing that she would be there to help, and I wouldn’t have to put that pressure on myself, family or friends, was a huge weight off my shoulders. She has a great eye for detail and helped to bring our vision to life. If you are thinking about hiring a day of coordinator, do it. I 100% recommend Danielle, 10/10 - Flawless!!

Hiring a day of coordinator was the best thing I could have done. I did not have a worry in the world on my wedding day!! Danielle did the BEST job! I would recommend her to anyone!

We hired Danielle for Day-of-Coordination to help set-up decor the day of our wedding, but she did so much more than that. She truly made our vision come to life and everything looked even more magical than I could have hoped. As I complimented all of our vendors for how smoothly everything was going, they gave Danielle all of the credit for keeping everything running on time. As the bride, I currently have no idea if there were any hiccups during the day because to me, everything seemed to flow perfectly and I did not have to worry about a thing. We didn't get to meet in person until the actual day of my wedding (when she kindly delivered our lunch to us!) and she was so nice and is the type of person you instantly want to be friends with. I'll also mention that about 6 months leading up to our wedding, we lost our venue, and we called her for advice, and she went above and beyond to make calls and do research to help us see what other places were available in the area. So, if you want someone you can trust to be there for you and take care of your day, who treats everyone with kindness while getting shit done, definitely hire Danielle!

Danielle did an amazing job as our day of coordinator, she thought of things for us to figure out weeks in advance that we never would have thought about ourselves. She was incredibly organized as we expected, but what she offered that we didn't expect was a fantastic ability to throw decorations together at the last minute with beautiful results. We highly highly recommend Danielle, and could not have been happier with how well she helped us organize our special day and enjoy the day care-free.

Danielle was easy to work with, responded quickly, and was very organized. I highly recommend her. She made sure everything went smoothly on our wedding day and was a huge help!
