“I’m not even sure where to begin. Colleen and Cassandra were unbelievable on my big day. If anything went wrong at my wedding, I still have no idea about it. My husband and I were showered with love, professionalism and so much knowledge about weddings I had no idea! It has always been a dream to have Fairy Godmother at my wedding and I’m so glad I did. This team will exceed your expectations by FAR and will make you feel like royalty. I would recommend them for anybody. You are all amazing!”

“This review is challenging to write because it is difficult to find the words to accurately express just how over the top amazing Colleen and the Fairy Godmother staff were! Each and every time we met with Colleen We had so much fun. She was extremely knowledgeable and experienced, uplifting and fun, and made us feel like we were her only concern. Colleen gave us ideas we had not yet considered and was patient while we navigated the mountain of choices and decisions that were to be made. The amount of work Colleen and Fairy Godmother put in before the day of the wedding was impressive. Our special day was made even more special because of our choice to have Fairy Godmother plan our wedding. To say that Colleen and her staff went above and beyond his an understatement. My husband and I will be forever thankful to Colleen and Fairy Godmother for their outstanding effort that made our special day what it was! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!“

“Two years ago I called Fairy Godmother after my engagement, because I was completely lost on how to start planning a wedding. This was the best decision I ever made. To date, Colleen and the other fairies have planned my bridal shower, wedding, and just this last weekend baby shower! At every event, all of my dreams came to life. There was no stress or worry on how things would turn out, things stayed on schedule, I was never rushed, the uh-ohs (like a bridesmaid ripping her dress) are immediately fixed on site, and most importantly I was able to enjoy the day with my family. I walked into a magical event I could not believe was my own. I am so grateful for fairy godmother for making my big life events so very special and near to my heart. I have a soft spot for Colleen that can’t be replaced. So the question is not should you call fairy godmother, it’s why haven’t you called them yet?? It will be the very best decision you make, not just for your wedding but all your precious life events!“

“Nick and I got married Feb 9, 2019 and it was the BEST DAY EVER!!!!!! We felt taken care of (and I know there were many details that were taken care of we don’t even realize!). We were able to be much more cool, calm and collected the day of…and imagine this: we were even able to totally relish each moment knowing we were taken care of! Fairy Godmother allowed us to relax and be able to just enjoy the day. I can’t imagine having gone through such a huge occasion without them: truly there were so many details to keep track of! Shoutout to Cassandra and Colleen for designing and creating the most special day for us, and for communicating so much the nine months that led up to the big day! We felt it to be the best day OF COURSE because we got to marry each other… but it certainly didn’t hurt that FG and vendors had put in so much hard work to make it a warm, inviting, gorgeous, detailed, customized to the “t”, meaningful, unique, fun, and just the most special day! It was a dream to see all our ideas and visions of the day come alive, and FG made them even better. Even more rewarding was hearing from many guests how how welcome/taken care of they felt. It makes me SO happy that our guests felt honored and special on this momentous day. I repeatedly was also told how it was the most beautiful wedding many guests had been to, which was just so sweet and special to hear. Almost all vendors we booked were found by Fairy Godmother: each was simply phenomenal and the definition of professional. Fairy Godmother (not just “any” wedding planner) was the only way we were able to have the wedding and reception we were envisioning… We can only give the highest of recommendations. Truly no other wedding or event planners are as gifted or well-developed as a team, with the tastes and abilities they have. They are the best kept “Valley Secret”! We love you Fairy Godmother! Thank you!“

“I had 8 months to plan my wedding so I knew I would need a coordinator, I was assigned to Sara & from the very beginning she was always prompt. Numerous calls & texts throughout the whole process & she ALWAYS got back to me within minutes. Fast forward to the day of my wedding, Sara was truly amazing. I could sit here & write an essay on how perfect she was. Never in my life have I felt so special. I wish that I could go back to that day just so I could relive those moments with her. She made me feel like a celebrity. If I was thirsty she had a water or some kind of beverage in front of me within seconds. If I needed to reapply lipstick she had it on her reapplying it for me. (Funny story) I needed bug spray because there were mosquitoes & I thought “that’s impossible who would think to bring bug spray” & within a minute she was spraying me with bug repellent. Nothing went wrong the day of & if it did I had no idea because her main priority was to make ME happy. & she did just that. At the end of the night when she gave me a hug & told me she was leaving I felt like I had to say bye to a friend. The whole experience was truly one I will never forget & Sara is the one who I need to thank for that. Both my husband & I give her all the credit for making our wedding the one of our dreams. In fact, I didn’t even dream of it being so perfect but Sara made it an event that people will never forget. Sara is truly the best & if you have a choice on who you can choose for your fairy, please pick her!“

“Colleen, Sara, and the entire team that assisted during our wedding… We love you all! When I walked into the cottage and met with Colleen I had no clue what to expect. I was unsure of how our wedding day would turn out. Not only did I feel like a VIP during the wedding day, I always remember the words and things Colleen told me that day. When my husband was having a moment, she stepped in and gave advice. When I was looking frazzled and frantic, Colleen shared words of wisdom. It felt like a dream and she was guiding me through it all. All the time and dedication to the wedding was worth it and Colleen as well as Sara made the vision and dream we had come to life. The day after our wedding it felt like I had broken up with my best friend, as Colleen would no longer be on speed dial to call with every concern or comment about the wedding. It saddened me to know she wouldn’t be the first person to contact as I had a mini panic attack about the wedding. The wedding is done and the perfect day is complete… Colleen, you made it all possible. Sara, you dealt with my crazy. Both of you ladies made our dream a reality and I cannot thank you enough. Even writing this I cannot believe how close we got and how important you become to Sal and I. We love you and all the team at Fairy Godmother for making our day the best day ever. If anyone reading this is hesitant or unsure of a wedding planner, please DO IT. Do not hesitate and go for it, as these ladies will deliver the promise of being the best assistance to your day. They truly are, as Colleen has been for me, a fairy godmother.”

“My husband and I decided to hire Colleen with Fairy Godmother Events after several recommendations from friends and vendors. It was one of our best decisions. Colleen was with us every step of our planning process. She helped with vendor recommendations and created a full timeline for our wedding day. On the day of she did an amazing job of keeping everything on schedule and making sure everything was perfect. Colleen was amazing, incredibly kind and helpful, and our wedding day would not have gone as smooth as it did without her.“

“Marissa was our fairy godmother for our wedding. She was wonderful to work with and made the day our special day stress free. She gave great advice and works well with everyone involved. Hiring fairy godmother was the best decision we made because we were able to enjoy our day without unnecessary distractions.“

“I have had the pleasure of working with Colleen and her team for our Indian/Hindu Wedding on Nov 9th, 2018. Hiring Colleen as our wedding planner was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. We were very impressed from the start until the very end with her level of professionalism, dedication towards making our event a success and caring for our every need. She is the reason why we even were able to get married on that day, given the wildfires at West Lake Village (our initial planned venue for the wedding). I am not sure how, but she and her team were able to relocate our wedding to a completely different venue, far away and safe from the Wild fires within a few hours. We (my husband and myself) and our guests were very impressed and thankful for all of their efforts. We were able to actually have the Indian/Hindu wedding that we were hoping for, including the surprise “Rolls-Royce Baraat” I had planned for my to-be husband. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would!! If you are looking for some stress free planning for any event, big or small, you should consider them. I know I will!“

“As a teacher working at a new school district and newly engaged to the love of my life I knew I was going to need the most highly qualified wedding planner to plan my Indian/ American wedding. Many names were recommended to me, and I interviewed several wedding planners. When my fiancé and I met with Colleen at the fabulous Fairy Godmother Cottage, I was very impressed. Colleen took the time to listen to my fiancé’s ideas about his ideal wedding and my input of my ideal wedding. At that same meeting, Colleen was able to combine both of our ideas into our perfect wedding. I knew Colleen and the Fairy Godmother team was equipped to plan my wedding when she spoke with such passion about her work and business. This ensured me that Colleen and her team would be highly dedicated to my special day. During the wedding planning process, I discovered Colleen had a great influence and pull with all vendors locally. With Colleen we saved literally thousands of dollars by having her as our wedding planner. Vendors are more than willing to want to work with the Fairy Godmother team. On the week of my wedding, Colleen was calm and collected and she ensured that we didn’t have any worries either. She made this possible by keeping close communication with us and meeting us as needed. I know that while my husband and I were sleeping Colleen was up late making sure everything was ready for our special day. On the day of the wedding, I thought I would be a “nervous wreck” but I was calm and ready to get the party started. Colleen ensured all the vendors, bridal party, and family was on time with her handy timeline she emailed to them the week of. When our guest arrived they were greeted with the sounds of Mr. Frank Trimble, and the wedding started right on time. Throughout the wedding I heard two things: One, “You look fabulous!” and two, “Your wedding planner is amazing!” Our guest had an amazing time and were thankful for being able to relax during our wedding.“

“What can I really say about the most amazing Wedding and Event planners? First, I had many questions and I always received prompt responses by Marissa and Denise. No question was ever too silly for them to take extra time out of their day to answer. I thought I was organized and then I met Denise. Denise took notes on every detail that I ever said. When I thought I was rambling off an unimportant detail, she would always stop me and remind me that she needed to know every detail so that day of she could ensure it came to fruition. I had a large bridal party (10) and I come from a large family (1 of 15), Denise made sure that everyone felt welcome and was apprised of all the details of the day. I can honestly say that my wedding was beyond what I expected. I say this with the happiest of feelings in my heart and thanks to Denise. There was a large possibility of rain the week of the wedding (my wedding ceremony was outdoors) and Denise was very honest and gave me the options and the reality of what I needed in order for the day to go on without a hitch. I had so many guests and bridal party comment about how wonderful the “fairies” were. They took such great care of us, from the start of the day to the end of the day. Denise was a true joy to work with. I would be remiss in not mentioning Marissa and Colleen. Marissa made sure that all of my ideas came to life in the decor and she spent countless hours pulling it all together. Colleen ran between my groom and I that day. Let’s just say my groom got his Tux 15 minutes before ceremony start, all thanks to Colleen making sure that he was taken care of, or else his tux probably wouldn’t have arrived. I could say this team together can truly conquer the world and I am so overjoyed that they were all a part of making my day as magical as it turned out. Thank you Fairy Godmother for all of your passion and dedication in ensuring that a Bride’s (and really in our case my Groom’s too) fairy tale wedding comes true!“
