The most important day of your life deserves the most intentional planning
Fairy Godmother is one of California’s most trusted wedding planning companies, and now we are bringing that same standard of excellence, bespoke planning, and personal care to Missouri. Founded by Certified Master Wedding Planner Colleen Bauer, our team has spent sixteen years leading timeless weddings for accomplished, discerning couples who deserve more than coordination. They deserve a Fairy Godmother.
If you are planning a wedding in Springfield, Branson, Battlefield, or anywhere across Missouri, we would be honored to be a part of it.
Now serving Missouri couples with the full Fairy Godmother experience.
New to Missouri. Not new to Wedding Planning.
Colleen Bauer has been building her craft for sixteen years. She has managed budgets, led vendor teams, and delivered flawless events for hundreds of couples across California. From intimate Bakersfield wedding receptions to large-scale corporate events for 750 guests in the Mojave Desert, she has seen every possible challenge, solved every possible problem, and done it all with the calm confidence that comes from a career built on genuine care and extraordinary preparation.
Now she is bringing all of that to Missouri. Based in Battlefield, just fifteen minutes from Springfield and forty minutes from Branson, Colleen is putting in the groundwork the right way: meeting venues, building vendor relationships, and making Fairy Godmother the name that Missouri’s most respected wedding professionals trust and refer.
You are getting the full weight of everything we have built, in a market we are genuinely excited to serve.

Why Missouri Couples Are Choosing Fairy Godmother
Sixteen Years of Expertise, Right Here in Missouri
Colleen Bauer holds the highest designation awarded by the Association of Bridal Consultants, Master Wedding Planner, and brings sixteen years of hands-on wedding planning experience to every couple she serves. Missouri may be a new chapter for Fairy Godmother, but the expertise, systems, and standard of excellence we bring are anything but new. You are getting a seasoned, credentialed professional who has led hundreds of weddings and who is building something extraordinary in this community.
A Planning Experience Built Around Your Life
Our Missouri couples are busy, accomplished people with high expectations and very little time to manage the moving parts of a large-scale event. Our wedding coordinator services are designed to carry the full weight of planning so you can stay present for the season and show up on your wedding day feeling nothing but joy. We create the structure. You make the decisions that matter. We handle everything else.
Vendor Relationships That Open Doors
We are actively building our Missouri vendor network, meeting the photographers, florists, caterers, and wedding venues in Springfield, MO, Branson, and across the state who share our standard for excellence. The same intentionality that made Fairy Godmother the most referred planning company in Bakersfield’s wedding community is the same intentionality we are bringing to Missouri. Expect the same caliber of partnerships, built with the same care.
The Details You Would Never Think to Check
The layout map of your reception. The lighting temperature in your ceremony space. The quiet conversation with your venue coordinator before your guests arrive. The backup plan for the backup plan. We think about the things most couples never know to ask about, and we handle them before they ever reach you. That invisible layer of preparation is what makes a Fairy Godmother wedding feel effortless.
We Stay With You. All Day. Every Single One of Us.
Our lead planner is never pulled away to manage rentals or troubleshoot setup. She is with you, a lady in waiting, from the moment you begin getting ready to the final note of the evening. A dedicated setup team works behind the scenes. A separate planner cares for the groom and his party. And for any particularly spirited family dynamics, we assign someone to keep the peace quietly. You should never know there was a challenge. That is exactly how we plan it.
From your first yes to your last dance, we are with you every step.
Your Wedding Day Deserves to be Enchanting Without the Stress
Planning a wedding in Missouri is an intimate, deeply personal experience, and it deserves a planner who brings both the expertise to execute it flawlessly and the warmth to make the process feel genuinely joyful.

Through our membership with the Association of Bridal Consultants and an international network of trusted wedding professionals, we have the connections, the credentials, and the experience to lead your celebration beautifully, no matter where it lands on a map.

Everything you want to know about working with Fairy Godmother in Missouri.
How involved do we need to be throughout the planning process?
As involved as you want to be and no more. We carry the operational weight of planning so you can make the decisions that are meaningful to you without being buried in logistics. We create the structure. You enjoy the process.
Are you based in Missouri?
Yes. Colleen Bauer, Fairy Godmother’s founder and lead planner, is relocating to Battlefield, Missouri. She is fully committed to building a Fairy Godmother presence in Missouri and is actively meeting venues and vendors across the region.
You are known in California; how does that translate to Missouri?
Sixteen years of experience, a Master Wedding Planner credential, and a deeply refined planning process do not change with a zip code. What we bring to Missouri is the same structured, high-touch, client-first experience that has made Fairy Godmother one of California’s most trusted wedding companies, combined with a genuine investment in learning this market, its venues, and its vendor community from the ground up.
Do you serve areas outside of Springfield and Battlefield?
Yes. We serve couples throughout Missouri, including Branson, Joplin, and the surrounding region. We are also open to weddings in St. Louis and Kansas City, with a primary SEO and referral focus on the Springfield and Branson areas. We also plan destination weddings and are happy to travel wherever your celebration calls us.
What does your planning process look like from beginning to end?
For Full Planning clients, we begin with budget development so priorities and investment are clear from day one. From there, we guide you through Missouri venue selection, vendor bookings, design development, and timeline creation with your dedicated lead planner present at every appointment and every decision. On the wedding day, our full team is on-site with specific roles, so your day unfolds exactly as planned.
Can I upgrade my package after booking?
Absolutely. You can always move up in packages at any time. Many couples start with Wedding Day Management and decide they would love the added support of Full Planning once they understand the full scope of what is involved. We make that transition seamless.
Do you carry insurance?
Yes. Fairy Godmother carries a one-million-dollar liability insurance policy. We can also name your venue as an additionally insured party should they require it.
Do you work with LGBTQ+ couples?
