    10 Reasons Why Colleen and FGM are the best wedding planners and coordinators!!!

    1) From the very beginning, Colleen gave a sense of trust and calmness that was much needed with our multi-day wedding week.

    2) She is exceptionally organized and kept us on track with minute to minute detailed timelines on each event day.

    3) We did not have to worry about reaching out to vendors to coordinate timing, set up, take down, positioning etc.

    4) Colleen prioritized food for my wife and I at each event. Even if it meant sneaking us a plate (+ cocktails!) in a private room away from the event :)

    5) Any time we mentioned Colleen’s name in town, each vendor said we are lucky. And we see why.

    6) Colleen made it incredibly easy to communicate with her. Whether it was email, text or phone call, she was there to answer our questions.

    7) She was an excellent mediator between all parties when we had to make tough decisions.

    8) FGM‘s team on the wedding day were crucial to manage our 500+ guests.

    9) Colleen’s touch and input for decor and details helped make our vision come to life.

    10) She is the sweetest, most hard working, and diligent wedding coordinator out there. Any couple would be lucky to have Colleen and her team be a part of their wedding.

    Ah Saumya, from the moment I met you and Ramie on our first Google Meet call, I knew you were both so special. Being part of all your planning and witnessing each moment of your 4-day events was an absolute joy. It's an experience I'll cherish forever, filled with the most incredible memories.

    Thank you for your sweet and thoughtful review—it means the world to me.

    Sending you both lots of love! Wishing you a marriage filled with endless happiness and love.

    The Best Day!

    Fairy godmother is aptly named because that is truly what they are! I felt so relieved once I finally booked with them and started working with Miranda. She knew exactly what to do and how to organize the day to keep everything on track. Rain was forecasted for our wedding day and Miranda gathered tent proposals, worked with the venue, and helped make our day perfect. You will be in good hands! They are true wedding and event planning professionals.

    Fairy Godmother's reply:

    Ellie,
    Thank you so much for posting this review. Miranda loved being your Fairy Godmother. Your wedding was so romantic even with the rain. It turned out so pretty and you looked beautiful. Congrats and thank you for your kindness!

    Excellent customer service, making dreams come true!

    Ashleigh From Fairy Godmother did an AMAZING job at my aunts 90th birthday! Everything went smoothly and looking amazing! She went above and beyond and even happily accommodated, last-minute requests! Everyone was stunned how great everything came out!

    Fairy Godmother's reply:

    Thank you Junior for your kind review.
    Ashleigh loved working for you. She was so excited to see your Auntie's party come together.

    Such a heart warming experience!

    If I could give any piece of advice to a newly engaged couple planning their wedding, it’s HIRE A PLANNER! Not just any planner, hire Colleen and her amazing team at Fairy Godmother Inc. No matter how involved you want to be in your wedding, you can’t be everywhere at once. Especially, as the bride. Colleen makes sure that even through wedding chaos, you and your family are present for all the special moments. It’s not easy trusting someone with your big day but Colleen expects the unexpected and is prepared for anything. I can’t thank her and her team enough for helping me make my dream wedding a reality.

    Thank you for the very sweet review. I LOVED working with the Gray and Hart family. I wish the two of you many many magical years of marriage.
    Thank you for trusting us with your special day.
    Lots of Love!

    Couldn’t have done it without her💕

    It was the best not having to worry about a thing on my wedding day! If anything came up Brooke stepped right in and took care of it. Everything was set up to perfection and I didn’t have to lift a finger. I just got to enjoy my day!
    She took great care of my husband and I. She was there every step of the way and made sure we took time to soak in the moment and each other.
    Thank you Brooke!

    Fairy Godmother's reply:

    Thank you, Michelle, what a sweet review. I appreciate you taking the time to do this on behalf of Brooke. She loved working with you. I got to see some of your sneak peek photos, they are beautiful and you looked so pretty!
    Thank you again so much!

    No matter how small the wedding...you NEED them!

    Absolutely thrilled with the level of service we received! Having a small-ish backyard wedding, my fiance was hesitant to hire a coordinator, but I pushed for it and I am so glad we did! Fairy Godmother Inc. covered all of the little details so we wouldn't have to do it ourselves or ask family and friends to do it. We just wanted our guests to enjoy the day without asking them to do us little favors along the way and Colleen and her crew covered everything so we wouldn't have to put that on anyone else. Even if you are having a small wedding, I cannot express to you how important it is to have someone organized, professional, and talented like Colleen to help make your day perfect! You NEED a Fairy Godmother!

    Fairy Godmother's reply:

    Alicja,
    Your wedding was so special. It was intimate, warm, and full of laughter, family and so many special moments. Thank you for such a sweet review, and thank you for trusting us! Your wedding and you will be one of our favorite 2022 memories!

    They were the best decision i ever made!

    Hiring Colleen was the best decision I ever made about my wedding. I was planning on doing it myself but ended up hiring her. Colleen knew I was overwhelmed the moment I talked to her but, she helped ease my stress. She was there every step of the way and I couldn’t be more grateful for everything she did for me. My mom can be the most complicated person to deal with but Colleen was willing to be the bad guy and was on the phone with me telling me it was my day and that was all that mattered. She is the most sweetest and thoughtful person to have by your side on your big day. If you are looking for an event coordinator for any event, she is the person to hire, you will not regret it. I couldn’t thank her enough, she made my wedding day dreams come true.

    Fairy Godmother's reply:

    Leslie,
    You are such a doll. Thank you for taking the time to write us such a sweet review. I remember the exact day you called me when we first spoke I was so happy when you said you wanted to book us. I have enjoyed working with you on planning your wedding. You were always warm and kind. I was so happy for you on your wedding day, everything came together beautifully!
    Lots of love and Fairy hugs!

    Dream come true!

    My wedding was an absolute dream come true. Thank you to Colleen and the Fairy Godmother team, every part of my wedding from the beginning to the end went perfectly. The Fairy Godmother team went above and beyond for my wedding to ensure it was a perfect and non-stressful day.

    They executed the design exactly how I wanted everything. They treated every small and big detail as though it was their own wedding. If you are looking for a trustworthy and passionate wedding planning team, I encourage you to hire Fairy Godmother!

    Fairy Godmother's reply:

    Thank you Rachel for the sweetest review.
    You and your entire family were so wonderful to work with.
    Your day was perfect and you looked so beautiful!
    Love you lots!

    The best ever!

    Colleen and her team stepped into weeks before my brothers events and handled everything wonderfully! She handled any issues with ease and with a huge smile on her face! My family and I were able to spend some quality time with each other and were able to tend to our guests from overseas as well. I would not recommend hiring anyone else except Fairy Godmother and team!

    Fairy Godmother's reply:

    Ah, Mansi,
    Thank you for trusting us with Manav's celebrations. You and your family were wonderful to work with. You were so fun, kind, and professional. Manav is very lucky to have you for a big sis. We look forward to doing more events with you.
    Thank you also for taking the time to post a review for us!

    Wonderful!!

    Working with Colleen and Cassandra from Fairy Godmother was wonderful! They were very professional, sweet and super creative/artistic! I loved everything about my wedding, it turned out perfect! They helped make sure everything ran smoothly and answered my millions of questions along the way! I would choose them over and over again! They are the best!

    Fairy Godmother's reply:

    Lauren,
    Your wedding was so special, being a Covid bride was not easy. Making the choice to have a smaller more intimate wedding with family and very close friends was so neat. We loved bringing your vision to life! Congrats! Can't wait to see you at your sister's wedding. We are honored to work with your amazing family again.

    Colleen is Amazing!

    I am a wedding photographer and was working closely with Colleen! She was a dream to work with! She was able to help adjust the clients timeline in order to get the perfect lighting for sunset photos which I was very thankful for! She even went over the top to help plan a special surprise get away car for the bride & groom. On the wedding day, she was on top of EVERYTHING and kept the day running smoothly. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a wedding planner and am looking forward to working with her in the future! Thank you for all your hard work and expertise!

    Indelible Enchantment

    I was so excited to have Fairy Godmother, Inc plan my wedding event. I was even more excited to have Colleen, the owner and founder of the organization, as my main FGM who watched over me every step of the way. Rachel, my designer, transformed my vision into reality on my wedding day; and I received COUNTLESS compliments about how everything turned out. My husband and I should literally have our own Disney movie. Many thanks to the team I had. If you’re looking for someone to help make your dreams come true, wish upon a star and make a call to this company.

    Dream team!

    Colleen was the wedding planner for a very large wedding at our Venue in February and I must say she was a dream to work with! Colleen was very organized and prompt in getting me all of the information I needed for the wedding. On the wedding day her and her team were so professional and they went above and beyond to ensure every detail was just as the bride wanted. I would highly recommend Colleen and the Fairy Godmother team for your wedding and event needs!

    Making Dreams Come True

    Fairy Godmother made my wedding day so seamless. Dreaming about my wedding day since I was a little girl, I knew exactly what I wanted and very high expectations. Colleen and her team brough my dream to life. The entire day was magical and I was able to step back and enjoy every moment without worry.

    Fairy Godmother's reply:

    Brookey, you had the most beautiful vision for your wedding! It was such a treat working with you! I couldn't wait to see your wedding photos. May you and Nate have the most amazing marriage. Hugs!

She was the best, Dani was So helpful as well, those boy’s probably wouldn’t have been able to do it without her!!❤️ Also when all of the money for set up team was not used i was reimbursed!!

    Fairy Godmother's reply:

    Thank you, Shelby,

    The best experience ever, everything turned out very nice.

    Where do I start off, I want to start of by thanking Sara and the whole team for making my sisters wedding extra special. Sara was very nice and attentive with my sister at all times from helping her dressed to making sure she was okay at all times. Sara and the whole team were very professional and on time with everything, for the first time I can say I really enjoyed a family event thanks to the fairy godmother. Thank you so much for making this experience a memorable day. I will definitely recommend the Fairy Godmother and her team to other people.

    Fairy Godmother's reply:

    Ah, you are so "SWEET" thank you so much for your kind words about Sara. She loved taking care of your sis! It was such a magical day.

    Amazing event planner

    I can’t say enough great things about Colleen Baur and the team at Fairy Godmother. As the mother of the bride and a person who has helped plan a number of other weddings I knew I needed a team to enable me to relax and truly enjoy our day. Colleen and her team were easy to work with and helpful throughout the process. The attention to detail and prompt responses to all of my questions made planning a breeze. The day of the ceremony was so relaxing and I was able to enjoy every special moment with my daughter and family. We feel like we have left with new friends. If I had to do it all again I would definitely hire Colleen Bauer and the staff at Fairy Godmother.

    Couldn’t have done it with Fairy Godmother!

    I don’t even know where to begin, my entire wedding planning experience was kind of unfortunate from the start. However it was an amazing experience to have Miss Brooke as my FG because she had my back ever step of the process from when I had issues with my venue or vendors, to needing a listening ear to vent to during the two year engagement we ended up having. Which is a long time to be working with a person, I do feel that Brooke and I became very close and I would say have a great friendship and I would definitely work with her and the company again for another event.
    In general this is a great company and recommend them to those looking for a event coordinator.

    Fairy Godmother's reply:

    Ah, Mykela,
    Thank you so much for your sweet review. You looked so pretty and so happy. Brooke loved working with you. Thank you for trusting us with your very special day. I am so happy for you and Brendan.

    The most magical team, and the greatest people

    Colleen, Rachel, and her team made this entire wedding experience better than I could ever have imagined. Not only did they decorate, plan, and make the day look beautiful, but they were the most supportive, honorable, trusting team. I would never have trusted our wedding in the hands of anybody else.

    Fairy Godmother's reply:

    Ah, Brooke, we all adore you! Thank you for making us feel like part of your family. You and Caleb went through so much, Covid, your venue being sold, new venue owner on and on but together we did it! Your wedding and more important you were so beautiful on your wedding day. I pray you and Caleb have many many magical moments together.
    I can't wait to meet your kids! (take your time)
    Lots of Love

    Absolutely outstanding! They went above and beyond to meet my expectations

    Fairy Godmother Events did a remarkable job on my wedding. They provided me with the most outstanding team. They met all my expectations and more! I couldn’t have been more impressed with an event coordinator. Thank you again for being my dreams to life!

    Gabriella,
    You are so sweet! Your wedding was epic. We were hired less than 2 months before your wedding date, but we did it! It was so fun working with you and your entire family. Everyone was so kind and warm and so fun. We can't wait to see you at your sister's wedding and get to work for your family again!
    May you and Anthony have many many magical years together!

    More than Amazing!!!

    My daughter’s wedding day turned out just the way she and her now husband wanted it. Saying “thank you” or “they are amazing” it’s not enough. Colleen and her team exceeded our expectations. They are very professional, supportive and caring. They were there for us since day ONE.
    Colleen and everyone in her team love their job and serving others, and it shows. All we received was compliments from our guests.
    I’m so glad Gabby chose you “Fairy Godmother”
    God bless you guys❣️
