Our Story
Colleen Bauer is the creator, owner, and primary event planner for an enchanted business known as Fairy Godmother.
After acting as Chairperson for the Bakersfield Women’s Business Conference, Colleen was encouraged by her fellow board members and several event partners to pursue more work in the area of event planning and execution. It was with this experience and inspiration that Colleen launched Fairy Godmother, initially offering “day-of” wedding management service.
Colleen realized there was a real need for a service that takes an event from mayhem to magical! The name Fairy Godmother represents a magical moment, a special moment in time for you and your guests, an elevation in excellence and romance, and of course every event should have some magical Pixie dust!
Today, Fairy Godmother offers event planning services for all types of special events. In addition to weddings, Fairy Godmother can help you plan your corporate event, private party, family reunion, graduation party, bat mitzvah, bar mitzvah, anniversary or birthday party, business function, holiday party, or make just about any special event into the magical event you want it to be!
Colleen and her fellow Fairies are experienced and professional event planners. They can handle everything or just the pieces that you need some help with. When you hire Fairy Godmother your only job will be to watch the magic unfold around you!
Every one deserves a Fairy Godmother! Tell us more about your special event and schedule a magical planning session.
