Fairy Godmother

My husband and I were so pleased with the fairyGodmothers! My baby shower was unbelievably beautiful! It was everything I imagine to be. Cassandra was awesome! Thank you ladies so much!!!

Have worked with the Fairy Godmother team for a couple of years now in a professional setting and just recently had the opportunity to hire them for a personal event — they wear many hats with ease! Cassandra and TJ helped us pull off a well-​designed party that was full of fun for our Small Sir on his big birthday. Thank you again!

Denise helped plan an open house for our business which recently moved locations. The event turned out to be much more than I could have imagined! I was thrilled with all the vendors that she recommended. The venue looked beautiful and everyone enjoyed themselves the night of the event! I was able to enjoy the evening while the staff of Fairy Godmother took care of everything!

Denise and her assistant helped keep everything rolling at my friends wedding. They were in contact with al the vendors and had a time line set up for them and the wedding party that was easy to follow. They were calm and moved people along so that the Bride didn’t have to become «Bridezilla» at her own wedding or at the people in the wedding party:) Highly recommend Denise EARLY she is amazing!!! So many great ideas.

Can’t express enough how talented Fairy Godmothers team is! Cassandra, THANK YOU so much for making my dear friends wedding an event to remember! Two days of Indian wedding festivities, as a bridesmaid it was crazy at times but you kept me calm! You truly brought her dream to life! Amazing job! PS the venue was breathtaking!

There are special moments in your life that require special people. Your wedding day is one of them. We were lucky enough to have Colleen and her team working out all the kinks throughout our wedding day. They did their job so flawlessly that to us, not a thing went wrong!!! I was able to smile through my entire day soaking up all the love and happiness while the Fairy Godmother worked their magic to make my day perfect. I never knew a wedding day could be stress free but I can brag that mine was because of the amazing team we had!

From full planning to day of they have it covered.

We chose Fairy Godmother for our June 2015 wedding. we are extremely happy and thankful we chose them. Colleen and her team of fairies did an awesome job. If i had to do this experience all over again i would chose Fairy Godmother again and again. I cant thank them enough for my wedding to run smoothly the day off and the whole planning. Colleen you will forever have our love and appreciation. WE ADORE YOU!!!

I am incredibly sad to report how disappointed I am with Fairy Godmother’s performance for my and my husband’s wedding this past May. Not all aspects were bad, but there were a few incidents that occurred, that were just unacceptable to me. Here is my honest review:
Pre Wedding:
Pros: Colleen was bright and cheerful and made us feel comfortable hiring her and Fairy Godmother to run our event. We received several phone calls along the way checking in with our status on the details. She assured us that we were right on track! She even created her awesome Wedding Documents, which helped both us and our vendors to know what was going on.
Cons: The documents were great, but we had to make typo corrections dozens of times on them. So many details were wrong from getting my father’s name mixed up with a bridesmaid at one point, to even getting my own name wrong a few different times! On one of the final drafts, we also had another bride’s name and wedding details mixed up with ours. This is the point I began to get worried.
Morning Of:
Pros: Me and the girls were running super early on the day. How often does that happen on the morning of a wedding?! It was great!
Cons: Luckily I had time, but I was fielding calls from our Florist concerning boutineer delivery and from a couple other of our vendors. I found out later that my husband spoke to a few of our DJ as well, because they could not get a hold of Colleen. Not really a huge deal for either of us, but it was something that should have been handled by our coordinator.
Ceremony– was run by St. Francis church, and was done beautifully.
Reception Setup:
Pros: Reagan was our set up Fairy Godmother for the day. Planning along the way with her, I did not have too much of a solidified idea of how I wanted it to look. I gave her some specifics, but left a lot of vision to her. She performed beautifully! We truly did ask a lot of her and the set up crew, and they came through! We were so happy with the way everything looked!
Cons: Some of the set up was not logistically smooth — for example some cases of water did not get behind the bar, etc. But to her defense, there was A LOT to do, and things like that should have been taken care of throughout the night.
Reception:
Pros: Let me just clarify, my husband and I had a wonderful time at our wedding. We just let go whatever went wrong and enjoyed the day. And, things are supposed to go awry anyway, right?! We expected that, but here are some things we did not expect.
Cons:
–After an hour and a half of photos, my groom and I walked into our venue greeted by a visually frustrated assistant Fairy Godmother asking us if we knew where Colleen was. She should have been at the venue ensuring the set up was correct, and was nowhere to be found.
–Right before we made our entrance, we were told we didn’t have water behind the bar. Colleen, was again nowhere to be found, so my Father-​in-​Law grabbed a cart and started loading water to take behind the bar. I saw him, found Colleen, and told her that was unacceptable and he needs to not be doing that on his sons wedding day. She went over to him, and he gave her the cart and told her where the rest of the water was. Later, we were told that we ran out of water in the middle of the night, but came back the next morning to help clean up and found five cases of water bottles, right where we told Colleen (several times) that they were.
— Champagne was missed getting behind the bar as well. Not a huge deal, but it would have been great to have out. The part that was not okay was that, Colleen realized it still was not out, as the toasts were starting. She grabbed my husband and started discussing whether or not the champagne should be brought out, right as his Best Man began his speech. Needless to say, OF COURSE the champagne needed to be out. To be that unaware of her surroundings is incredibly unacceptable.
— The bar was running out of cups. The servers went to Colleen and asked where more were. She told them that she didn’t know and to go as my mother (mother of the bride) where the cups were. Of course my mother did not know where the extra cups were, that was Colleens job to know, or at least to go find them.
— Lastly, we were truly running low on ice. My brother and sister-​in-​law, noticed it and brought it to Colleens attention. As I understand it, Colleen understood that more ice was needed, but made no effort to go and get any. So, my family ran to the store and got some for the rest of the night. I suppose the most frustrating part of this, was finding out about this the next day and seeing a social media post by a different Fairy Godmother team with a picture of the girls running to get ice for another wedding they were coordinating on the same day.
Despite all of the mishaps, we had a great time, but truly upsetting to have had the coordination of the reception be such a disappointment!

I chose the Fairy Godmother for my wedding day coordinator and I’m so glad I did! Sarah was my personal coordinator and she was nothing short of amazing. She kept in contact with me for months leading up to the wedding to make sure everything ran exactly how I wanted. We had set meetings, phone calls, and text and accomplished so much with our time together. She was always available and prompt whenever I had a question about wedding etiquette or just needed a second opinion. She lead the rehearsal the night before the wedding and made sure everyone was looking their best. Once the big day finally arrived, Sarah and her assistant were somehow always by my side but always getting so many other things done too! I recommend that every bride invests in a Fairy Godmother for their wedding day so they can be stress free and enjoy their special day!

Colleen and the others were absolutely AMAZING!!! I was the Maid of Honor for my best friends wedding this last weekend and they couldn’t have made it any more relaxing! They took care of every little detail for us and even took care of things we didn’t even think about! The Fairy Godmothers were so professional and quick to get things done! They helped everything run smoothly, so smoothly that we ended up being done with pictures and getting ready an hour and a half before the wedding so we were able to sit and relax! They knew what they were doing and I fully recommend them to ANYONE looking to have a stress free wedding or just some extra help to make sure everything is taken care of! Thank you SO much Colleen and The Fairy Godmothers cannot WAIT to work with you in the future for my own wedding!

I was so happy the host of my baby shower and I decided to use Fairy Godmother. We both have very busy schedules and my Fairy Godmother, Cassandra, handled the majority of the details and any issues that came up so we could focus on what really mattered most to us. Cassandra’s AMAZING design skills turned my vision into a reality and exceeded what I could have imagined. The process was seamless from end to end. My host, my guests, and I all had an amazing time thanks to Fairy Godmother. In fact, some of my guests raved about the shower to me on multiple occasions after the event. If you have a busy schedule, the full package is totally worth it! At the very least you need the Day-​of-​Coordination package. We had a few issues that came up at the last minute that could have turned into «crises» and changed the whole experience. Instead, I didn’t have to worry about a thing. My Fairy Godmother team came to the rescue with their magic fairy dust and everything continued on smoothly. I think this was the first event, where I wasn’t just a guest, that I was truly able to sit back, relax, and enjoy myself at. Thank you Fairy Godmother!

These ladies are an absolute blast to work with! We had Heather & Sarah for the day of and things couldn’t have gone smoother! I would definitely recommend them to anyone planning any sort of event, not just a wedding! They were so calm about everything that I felt like I didn’t have a worry in the world. Thank you so much ladies!!!

Not only do use The Fairy Godmother professionally and refer them to all of my brides, I would never even think of calling anyone else for my personal events! When my sons first birthday was quickly approaching I knew who I could count on! They took my dreams and made them a reality! Fairy Godmother Cassandra hand crafted so many cute details to fit our theme, and everyone had a blast! And best of all, I got to enjoy my sons special day with family! I have gotten nothing but compliments from my friends and family, and I could not have pulled it off without The Fairy Godmother!

Thank you to Colleen & her staff for a beautiful wedding day for my daughter. The day of «coordination» was excellent, everything was beautiful, all ran on time, and everyone left happy! With almost 200 guests, 16 attendants, & a tight window of time for pictures before the sunset, it turned out perfect. When Colleen called me about the staff at the Banquet room not having black tableclothes for all the serving tables, I said «No that is a big deal!» We have had many discussions about the color of the clothes all being black & renting all the circular ones that the hotel didn’t have. I heard that staff pulled tableclothes from everywhere & somehow when we arrived Colleen had made it happen. All the tables were covered in black, just like there had never been an issue. Colleen also referred us to a local florist after we had spent several months looking. They did a beautiful beautiful job! Thank you to all!

fairy godmother is amazing! they come in, sprinkle their fairy dust on your event, and voila! everything is magical! their work ethic is impeccable, the entire team is focused and driven, with one goal in mind and that is to make your party the best it can be so you’ll want to return again and again. i highly recommend/​encourage anyone to use them for any event — the money you spend will be money saved trying to do it on your own! thank you colleen and team for making our christmas party magical!

Fairy Godmother came to my rescue for a holiday party and I could not have been happier with the results! Throughout the entire planning of our party I felt Colleen’s priority was to understand my vision and make that vision come true. She handled EVERYTHING from the caterer to the bartender to the photographer, arranged for carolers to greet our guests outside the front door and even hired a Santa Claus for the evening. Fairy Godmother met our guests with a glass of bubbly inside the front door and handled coats and purses. Colleen and her fellow godmothers had fun ideas (decorating a photo corner with props and a Polaroid camera) and awesome contacts (local baker who made darling decorated Christmas cookies and delicious cake pops). They handled all rentals, arranged flowers, designed a fun dessert table and thought of every detail. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our guests. I highly recommend Fairy Godmother and will definitely use them again!

My fiancé and I are getting married Sept. 1, 2012. I had 12 months to plan our wedding. I thought how hard could it be planning a wedding I can do it on my own. Plus I had heard some people tell me it’s not worth getting a wedding coordinator. Also the place we booked our ceremony and reception had a wedding coordinator. Well I was only 3 months away from my wedding date and I was crying at least once a week over all the work I had put into planning our wedding. I was so stressed and ready to call off the wedding and just go on a long vacation. We had problem after problem happen. I could not get a hold of people that I booked for the wedding after I had left my deposits. I had the Pastor cancel on me 3 times and 1 no showed appointment. The DJ would not return our calls for over 3 weeks and no showed to our appointment. My hair lady no showed to my hair trial and went to Vegas. My wedding venue place no showed to our appointment did not return my calls or text message for over a month. My makeup trail cancelled an hour before my bridal shower. The food for the bridal shower, the owner forgot to place the order. The list just goes on and on. At this point my fiancé told me get a wedding coordinator. I told him we don’t have the extra funds for a planner we were already over budget. He said it’s not worth you being so stressed out, you are supposed to enjoy planning your wedding. So I called around I left 2 messages with 2 different wedding coordinator. Colleen from Fairy Godmother called me back and took me under her wing.
They say they are the day of wedding coordinator’s but she has done so much for us. She would call and set up appointments for me and would talk to vendors that had not returned my calls. She called around to find a hair dresser and videographer. Then she would email me different vendors that were available my wedding date and prices.
She has gone above and beyond our expectations. She is always there for me when I have a question, an idea or when something goes wrong. She is a bride’s best friend! It was the best 1000.00 we have spent on our wedding. Having a Fairly Godmother is priceless! I’m so thankful for all the hard work these ladies have done for me. I know that there is no problem that they can’t handle. I look forward to a stress free wedding knowing my Fairy Godmother is watching over me.
Signed one very «unstressed» bride to be Darcy

Where do I start?! There is way too much to be said about how Denise and Pam of «FG» saved my wedding day from certain disaster. Denise has been with us from the beginning, nudging us along when we needed it and supporting us and helping us where ever and whenever we called on her. They were so flexible with my insane work schedule, and endured listening to every frustration we had along the way (they even dealt with those frustrations head on!). They recommended WONDERFUL vendors for photography, videography and so much more. However… Where they really came through is at the wedding. When everything *no joke* that could go wrong actually went wrong — they handled it with both the force needed to get things done as well as the grace needed to do it in a way that was appropriate for a wedding.
Anyone who knew all that went on behind the «curtains» so to speak of my wedding knows that without them, my now husband and I would have ended up out in the rain lightning and cold with our guests, starving and mistreated. Unfortunately we were still pretty mistreated as we had a nightmare of a vendor for our venue locations and our catering. Calling them «rude» is putting it politely :) Having a destination wedding comes with its own mess of problems — problems and crappy treatment from a vendor is the LAST thing any bride and her family and guests need on top of it. Just as I can’t put into words how amazing Denise and Pam were, I can’t put into words how awful the staff at our wedding/​reception locations were (with very FEW exceptions). If you want to know the BIG thing that happened that they helped with, read on…
To start, thunderstorms were predicted as a possibility on my wedding day, and due to this, the management at this resort town. let’s call them «ELEPHANT» ;) were supposed to have a plan B already prepared. This was not done — and of course it rained gallons! So, FG made sure all of my guests and other traveling vendors made it to the new location safely, and then made sure that the Plan B location was cleaned of all of its rat poop, dead bugs, and cafeteria furniture — other vendors such as the photographers helped out as well! All while Elephant’s staff just stood and watched! Also, they made sure that Plan B even happened in the first place because Elephant did not want to give up an additional location. My ceremony went of without a hitch and guests were then escorted to the reception location. In fact, during all of this, Denise and Pam made it go so smoothly, I had NO idea what had occurred until after the fact! (like the Elephant staff not helping one bit while Denise and Pam busted their butts doing Elephant’s job!)They made sure we stayed on schedule as much as possible, even though the change in location put us back and hour. While there were so many more things that could not have been possible without them, I cannot go on.
I promise that if you decide to use FG for your event or wedding, you will not regret it! You will think «how would we have ever done this without them?!» Because seriously — without exaggeration — I don’t think I would have had a wedding without them.

Our ‘day-​of’ coordinator, Yessi, was wonderful, and really allowed us to relax on our wedding day, and ultimately enjoy it. Yessi was there from the very beginning and made sure that all our vendors were accounted for, she was there to direct our guests where to go and helped with the flow of things; even fixing last minute wardrobe malfunctions that took place only minutes before the ceremony. You don’t really think about everything that is needed on the day-​of, but I can safely say without her direction and guidance we would have been lost, and left scrambling for what to do and where to go. I highly recommend Fairy Godmother’s services, as they really do make your most important days/​events stress-​free.
