Some Fun Facts about Fearon:

  • I am just a small town girl from Vacaville, Ca. I am lucky enough to do what I love and work with some of the most amazing people.
  • In 2008 I married the love of my life at the Valhalla in Lake Tahoe. It changed how I do my job because you really can’t understand the needs of a bride until you are one yourself. It gave me a whole new understanding to what is expected of a wedding planner and how necessary it really is to have one.
  • I’m a “girly girl” and would wear a formal gown every day if I could but I also like to throw the football and go camping. But hair, makeup, an evening gown and a red carpet is pretty much ideal for me!
  • I am passionate about movies and my I-Tunes music collection. I wake up listening to music and there is just something about music that cleanses the soul. My favorite song is “Into the Mystic” by Van Morrison and anything Beyoncé. I also have seen a ton of movies. I would have to say “Singing in the Rain” and “Silver Lining Play Book” are two of my favorites.
  • I don’t know how I lived before an iPhone.
  • My favorite place in the world is Sand Harbor in Lake Tahoe. It’s a beautiful spot and is where my husband proposed.
  • In 2002 I backpacked across Europe for 2 months by myself and saw 9 countries. It was my “Eat, Pray, Love” moment and I learned so much from that trip.
  • I love being a part of the Napa Valley Film Festival. I get to plan some amazing dinners for some of my favorite actors as well as work with some pretty awesome wineries.
  • If I could meet one person it would be Beyoncé. She is fierce, legendary, trendsetting, empowering and FLAWLESS! (I woke up like this.)

We got married in July 2016 and Fearon was our wedding planner. Fearon worked with us throughout our planning process to find vendors (DJ , florist, stylists, rentals, shuttles), work with them, and coordinated everything the weekend of the wedding. We had a multi-day Indian wedding and threw a lot of details at her, and she made it all happen. Fearon coordinated across all the events, making our vision for each day a reality. We were SO happy with how everything came together the day of our wedding and truly didn't need to worry about a single thing that weekend. Our wedding was in Big Sur, and we were planning from the East Coast. So, much of the planning needed to happen over the phone. Fearon made that process so much smoother for us. There also wasn't much cell service there, so the fact that Fearon handled all the shuttles, and we didn't hear a single complaint about them was pretty amazing. She kept us on track during the planning process and made sure that we continued checking things off the list. We threw a lot at Fearon, and she could definitely handle it all!

Michele and I chose to take the Wedding Month package from Fearon May Events. I had been planning the wedding for close to 10 months and as time got closer to the event, I realized that we needed experienced help on the day of the wedding to ensure it went as we wanted and without issue.

Fearon is an exceptional person, she went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day went smoothly and met our vision of the dream wedding.

Fearon coordinated with vendors to ensure they understood our timeline, arranged for us to meet vendors we were missing, including Melody Raye Flowers and Wine Country Rentals. She visited the venue on a number of occasions to ensure she knew the lay of the land and to ensure our vision fitted perfectly into the landscape.

Fearon arrived early on the wedding day, worked tirelessly to set up the table, take last minute input from Michele and I and work with the vendors to make a magical day.

Like an orchestra needs a conductor to play wonderful music, a wedding day requires a conductor to ensure it runs smoothly. Thank you for getting us to the alter on time!!

Fearon you are worth your weight in gold, thank you for making our wedding day flawless...

Fearon is very professional, and has a great deal of experience. I found her advice to be well thought out and mature. However, she doesn't insist on anyone taking it! She is soft spoken, and fun to be around. Fearon is very through, and detail oriented. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.
