our story

 
 
 
Danielle McKee, founder and wedding planner at Futtitinni Events in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Photography by ShirLee Photography

Hi, I’m Danielle.

I’m the founder of Futtitinni Events, and I’ve spent more than 20 years working in events. I love bringing people together. Sharing a meal, catching up around a table, celebrating something worth celebrating—that’s the heart of why I do this.

I stay involved in every Futtitinni event, with my role shaped by the support you need. Your event-day lead may be me or another planner on our team. We make that match later in the planning process, once we’ve gotten to know you and your celebration.

Whoever leads your day, our approach starts in the same place: listening to you, being honest with you, and taking care with the details.

Ways to Gather

 
 

how we work

 

Good planning starts with a good working relationship.

 
 
 

Room to Be Yourself

Ask the question. Tell us what you actually think. Share the idea you’re not sure about. Getting to know you helps us make recommendations that make sense for your event.

 

Clear Next Steps

You’ll know what needs your attention and what we’re handling. We’ll agree on the support you need and make those responsibilities clear from the beginning.

 

Honest Advice

We’ll explain the options and tell you what we recommend. If something needs rethinking, we’ll talk through why and help you find a way forward.

 

The Details Working Together

Vendor arrivals, food service, and the flow of the event need a plan that works. We’ll connect those details so everyone bringing it together knows what comes next.
