"Choosing Fairy Godmother as our wedding planner was the best and easiest decision we made! From the moment we met, Colleen and Kimberly truly took the time to understand our vision and went above and beyond to make it a reality.
Colleen’s network of trusted vendors made finding exactly what we wanted effortless, and we felt completely at ease on the big day, knowing that Colleen and her amazing team had every detail under control. From start to finish, they ensured everything ran smoothly and just as we’d dreamed! If you’re looking for someone who truly cares, has an eye for every detail, and makes wedding planning enjoyable and stress-free, look no further than Fairy Godmother! We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out, and we’re forever grateful for the magic they brought to our day.”

"The Fairy Godmother Team is absolutely stellar, and our wedding day was so magical! She contributed great ideas and always asked questions to make sure she knew exactly what we were envisioning.
Our event producer, Kate, jumped in about halfway through the planning process and hit the ground running. Our original bartender canceled about 2 months before our wedding, and within 1 day, Kate was able to find us another perfect bartender! I knew the wedding planning process was going to be stressful for me, and I can not thank Kate enough for giving me that peace of mind. She was always up for a meeting and could be reached anytime. Our wedding was perfect, and we are truly grateful for all of the work Kate, with the help of Alex, put in to make everything come to life.

"We were in a tight spot with some last-minute needs, and they somehow pulled everything together seamlessly—even up to the final hours. You could really see the depth of their experience and professionalism in how quickly and calmly they handled everything.
Absolutely magical! Fairy Godmother went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Their team stayed in constant communication, never made us feel stressed, and truly had our best interests at heart. What impressed us most was the strong relationships they’ve built with their vendors over the years. Every single person they brought in was incredibly talented and a joy to work with. It’s clear that Fairy Godmother doesn’t just work with anyone—they work with *the best*. We felt completely taken care of, and thanks to them, we were able to fully enjoy our day without worrying about a thing. Five stars isn’t enough for what they delivered!”
