As we wrap up the Fairy Godmother “All About Me” series, we just want to say that we are so thrilled to have the best friends, family, and clients!

In sharing a little about ourselves, we want to really make solid relationships with everyone aka we aspire to be everyone’s best friend!   

This week is all about Fairy Godmother’s very own Godfather, TJ!

We asked TJ if there was anything that many people didn’t know about him, and there is! 

TJ didn’t have a name for three days when he was born, after his parents decided on his name, names like “Beau Ty” were on the drawing board.        TJ says it would’ve been interesting, but he is happy with TJ and will continue just wearing bowties!

If TJ could live anywhere he wanted, he said he would still be here in Bakersfield! Family is important to him and he doesn’t think he could be too far away, especially from his nieces or nephew. 

Does TJ like to dance? TJ asked if anyone had seen him dance, but all humor aside, TJ used to dance competitively up until his freshman year of high school.

The first thing he thinks of in the morning is how much longer he can snooze before he actually has to get up! He was always told “early to bed, early to rise,” but he finds himself most productive in the evening!

Anyone who knows TJ would know that if he could meet anyone, past or present, it would be JFK! Early life, Presidency, Camelot and Legacy all get his history-loving feels going!

TJ doesn’t sing in the shower, but he uses it as his think tank! He says that his best ideas come usually while shampooing his hair. He spares anyone from hearing his beautiful singing voice, regardless of his time in choir.

Overall, TJ thinks his best characteristic is his strong work ethic. The job always gets done!

We asked TJ what his best childhood memory was, and he couldn’t pick just one! He loved spending weekends traveling with his grandparents or spending time on his grandpa’s vineyard with his cousin.

One of TJ’s favorite and best known, features is his smile!  Many have told him that he has been smiling since he was born, but the one memory that sticks out most to him is his first day of freshman year his Spanish teacher asked if he was okay because nobody could be that happy (don’t worry, he went on to succeed in the class!).

We hope that you have enjoyed learning about the Fairy Godmother team, we know that we even learned a bit about each other!

Happy “Fairy Godmother Friday!” 

This week is all about our latest Fairy, Fairy Godmother Sara!

As we welcome Sara to the Fairy Godmother squad, we want to share a few things about Sara that make her extra special!

We asked Sara if there was anything that people may not know about her, and turns out that she was on the game show “Street Smarts.” Sara said that it was fun, but as it turned out, she didn’t win the show. 

We shocked Sara when we asked if she liked to dance, she didn’t know that there were people in this world who didn’t like to dance!

If Sara could have lunch with any person past or present, she would choose Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback for the Greenbay Packers. 

When asked if she sees the glass half empty or half full, Sara said that it depends on how much caffeine she has had. I think that is something that we could all agree on!

Sara believes that her strongest characteristics are being stubborn and determined with her special talent being annoying her husband, but we don’t think that he minds!

The furthest place that Sara has been is Italy, which is exactly where she would live if she could live anywhere in the world! 

If we tried getting inside Sara’s head, we would see a lot of her decorating ideas and love for her dogs… And maybe a little about her amazing husband, Logan!

If Sara were ever caught being bored, we would witness to her creative mind re-decorating her house or an epic dance party… Depending on her mood, of course. 

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Sara doesn’t really mind which came first, but agrees that they both taste delicious!

Sara’s best, and most cherished, childhood memories are with her dad horseback riding and dancing on his feet. 

Sara’s favorite life motto is “Faith, Love & Pixie Dust” with the most important thing being to spend time with people you love. 

Stay tuned, we have one more week of our Fairy Godmother “All About Me!” series!

In the meantime, contact Fairy Godmother today for your planning needs!

What better way to celebrate “Fairy Godmother Friday” than by sharing about our amazing Fairy Godmother team?!

This week we are highlighting the “Jackie O.” of Fairy Godmother, the one and only Fairy Godmother Janet!

Janet has been in the wedding industry for a few years, prior to putting on her fairy wings Janet worked in the catering industry right alongside us at countless events. She has been a true asset to the team and we are excited to watch her use her fairy magic to turn dreams into reality! 

Janet fuels her fairy magic through the love for, and from, her husband, children, grandchildren, and even her fur baby!

If you are just joining us, we are sharing fun and random facts about each of the Fairies of the Fairy Godmother team.  

We asked Janet what was something that most people don’t know about her, and we found out that we have a musical Fairy on our hands! Janet not only played the violin in elementary school and junior high, but she went on to be a part of the Bakersfield Honor Choir (complete with solo) and even sang with the Sweet Adelines in junior high! How cool!

Something that we didn’t learn, but we got our positive affirmation about is that Janet is a positive person who wakes up thankful for another day and always sees the glass half full rather than half empty. 

When asked what came first, the chicken or the egg, Janet said “the egg!”

Her dreams of retirement include her husband, their black lab, and the Central Coast.

Janet took the words right out of our mouth when she shared about her favorite characteristics; detail oriented, organized, compassionate, faithful, prim and proper! Janet says that her strongest of these would be compassion, which we can all agree on. We call Janet the “Jackie O.” of Fairy Godmother because of these characteristics, she is such a lady and we couldn’t love her more!

Growing up, Janet dreamed of being a lawyer.  She worked at the mall in high school, and then a receptionist in a law firm where she became a paralegal after completing the coursework.  She went from there into the catering field and magically ended up as a wedding planner with Fairy Godmother!

We are so lucky to have such a diverse yet united team, stay tuned as we continue on and continue our “All About Me” series! 

Happy “Fairy Godmother Friday!”

This week we are sharing all about Fairy Godmother Marissa!

Marissa wanted to make sure that we set one thing straight, she is a country girl at heart and country music is her absolute favorite!

We asked Marissa what she thinks of first thing in the morning, and she kept it real, her answer was too perfect… “What am I going to wear today and do I feel like doing my hair?”

If she could have lunch with anyone in the world, past or present, she has two candidates… Chip and Joanna Gaines from “Fixer Upper!”

The store that Marissa would choose to max out her credit card, you ask? Easy peasy, Nordstroms!

Marissa thinks most about where she is in life, how she’s achieving her goals, and constantly reminding herself that everything is a process! …She was sure not to forget that she finds herself thinking about puppies quite often.

Dessert before dinner? Marissa says “yes!” 

She says that she is a great cook, with a recipe, but she takes the most pride in her baking!

We wanted to know what Marissa dreamed of growing up to be, turns out she wanted to be a fashion designer and a NASCAR driver! She said she would have been the best dressed NASCAR driver!

Marissa finds comfort in knowing that she is a great listener and has a relatable personality.

While Marissa wishes that her favorite time of day was nap time, but it technically doesn’t exist, so her favorite time of day is bedtime!

There’s no better selfie than a Fairy Godmother selfie!

Marissa’s best childhood memory was her involvement in sports! She says that sports are an extremely important part of growing up… It teaches kids to be tough, hard work, and what it takes to work as a team. 

Strange fact about Marissa? We have one! Her favorite smell comes from her softball days when they would water down the field, but her favorite scent is wet dirt!

All who know Marissa, know what makes her great… She says that her “spark” feature that has led her to success is being passionate!

“Once you find your passion, it won’t lead you astray!”
