Sean Faustina | My Wedding Day’s Fairy Godmother

Sean is absolutely amazing! Our wedding day simply would not have turned out the way it did without her. To add, Sean had another wedding that was closely timed to ours at our venue. She was a moving force of nature going between both weddings and leaving confidence and magic in her place. Our wedding day has become a legend in our families and is full of sweet memories that Sean orchestrated a beautiful environment for at Wilson Creek Winery. We were so lucky to have her. Thank you for making our fairytale come true Sean! We love you so much! 💜💜

Everyone needs Sean as their coordinator!

Sean was amazing! I hired her as a day of coordinator. She arrived early and helped set up. She made sure to make final payments to all of my vendors, helped with the seating chart, and made sure we stayed on time with our timeline. She didn’t let me or any of our guests stress about the little things, she handled it right away. Would definitely recommend her. Thank you Sean!

Sean’s a seasoned pro!

Sean is a consummate professional and has an impeccable way of handling your special day. I’m alway impressed with how much grace and thoughtfulness she brings to the work she does - and special events like weddings can be so very stressful. It’s a relief to have Sean on your team - she’ll ensure things go smoothly and do so with so much loving care.

Easy and accomodating

We needed someone to commit to our 30 minute wedding within 3 weeks; a lack of planning on our part. Sean was responsive, flexible and willing to still give us a customized experience. She was able to provide us with a non-denominational, beautifully insightful and metaphoric ceremony from just a few phone calls with us. Well done and professional - thanks, Sean.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
