Thanksgiving Week – Reasons the Fairy Godmother Team is Thankful
November is a perfect time to share your appreciation and give thanks to those who’ve helped you over the past year. For Thanksgiving, we’re using this opportunity to express our gratitude and what we’re each thankful for in our lives. As our team continues to grow and become stronger each year, and we coordinate more weddings and events, we gain new experiences and meet new people in this industry, and we are very thankful for that.
Colleen Bauer – Wedding & Event Producer
Founder of Fairy Godmother Events
I am thankful for my hubby and son who I adore. I am thankful for my sisters who keep me grounded and laughing, and for my dad who at age 92 reminds me to “try” and slow down! Always first, my team, they are kind, professional, passionate, warm, and loving. They care as much about each other’s success as their own. I am thankful for my fellow event pros. We are blessed and have an opportunity to work with some of the best in the industry! I am thankful for all of the travel this business has allowed me to do and for the many friendships I have formed all over the United States. I am thankful for the hundreds of clients that have trusted us with their very special events. I am also thankful every day that I get to wake up every morning and come to work not because I have to but because I want to!
