    I was able to relax and enjoy my wedding day!

    I hired the FGM team to help assist with day-of coordination. From the beginning, they were super helpful and answered my questions. As the big day got closer, they helped finalize the small details. Kadzo was great at easing my fears/anxiety and assured me she had it handled. My wedding day went off without any issues; the day-of team was very attentive to both my husband and me. They allowed me to relax and not worry about the schedule. Book the FGM team, you won't regret it.

    Great experience with Fairy Godmother Events

    We planned most of our wedding ourselves but needed a Coordinator to step in and run the show on the day of the wedding -- and we are thankful we hired FGE to do that! Kadzo's team was lovely to work with and ran our day smoothly and efficiently.

    Even though they were our "day of" coordinators, they started working with us ~6 weeks out to fine-tune our timeline and make sure everything was on track in the lead-up to wedding day. They were great about recommending tweaks and adjustments to ensure we wouldn't be stressed day-of and could truly enjoy ourselves. They also ran our rehearsal the day before, which was really helpful! Then, on wedding day, I could trust that they had the information they needed and knowledge about our event (especially after working with us several weeks ahead of time) to execute it seamlessly. Throughout the evening, they prompted us and our family/wedding party when it was time to move to the next item on our timeline (ie: family photos, speeches, etc). And they did this in a way that made us feel taken care of, not like we were being shuttled from one thing to the next. Overall, it was a great experience.

    We would highly recommend them! They are kind, talented professionals who will make sure you feel taken care of on your big day!

    Fairy Godmother Events is a must!

    Kadzo, owner of Fairy Godmother Events, is a top-notch wedding expert. Hiring her as our wedding planner was immensely worth the investment. She kept us on track and advised on wedding trends from how to get the best bang for our buck to what we could skip. She's extremely detailed oriented which is what you want on your wedding day. She was always available for a quick question and handing the administrative tasks to her, like emailing vendors, saved us a tremendous amount of time so that we could focus on bigger things like our jobs, the logistics and emotions of joining our lives :) And even when there was a snafu on our wedding day of some decor still in our apartment instead of at the reception venue, she figured it out and made it all look seamless. I'm not sure how she turns into Superwoman for wedding after wedding but she does. Thank you, Kadzo, for all the work you put in to make our special day wonderful.

    Great company!

    SUPERIOR would be such an inadequate word to describe the service received by Fairy Godmother events - the best word is PERFECTION. They listened very carefully to what I wanted the room to feel like; they incorporated all my ideas beyond anything I was expecting, morning noon or night calls/e-mails were answered immediately. Thier level of professionalism far exceeds anything we see today. Just simply AMAZING!!

    A TRULY SEAMLESS Coordinating Experience!

    Kadzo and the team at Fairy Godmother Events thoughtfully and perfectly executed our micro-wedding! We opted for Day of Coordination but Kadzo was helpful, responsive, and kind from the start, leading all the way up to our Big Day! Deciding to work with Fairy Godmother events made our wedding day seamless amidst all the little moments we never could have planned for. Kadzo + her team’s ability to pivot in an unexpected “pinch” is truly unmatched! If we could give 10 STARS I would!

    My wedding would have been ruined without Kadzo and her team

    Kadzo was my day-of coordinator and she was INCREDIBLE in handling the change in timeline when my hair and makeup artist made us 45 minutes late to the ceremony. I don’t know what I would have done without Kadzo and her team. She responded very quickly to all of my emails and I felt I could put my full trust into her on my wedding day. Before I had even signed a contract with her she offered to make email introductions with vendors within my price range when I told her I was still in need of a florist. I ended up using one of her recommended vendors and I was super happy with how my wedding flowers came out. Her demeanor is very calm and exactly what a bride needs on her wedding day. I can’t recommend Kadzo enough. I hope I have the pleasure of working with her again in the future!

    As a wedding videographer, I've had the pleasure of working with many wedding planners, but Fairy Godmother Events stands out as exceptional. Led by Kadzo and her team, they made the planning process stress-free and enjoyable. They took their job seriously while adding a delightful touch of humor. Working closely with my team, they ensured we had the time we needed to capture every moment flawlessly. The wedding day was seamless, beautiful, and a pleasure to be a part of. I highly recommend Fairy Godmother Events for an outstanding and enjoyable wedding planning experience.

    Amazing coordinators!

    Kadzo and Cynnise from Fairy Godmother Events are AMAZING! Kadzo was able to answer all questions before the event and Cynnise was our day of coordinator and is an absolute gem! I can not imagine what it would have been like if I did not have her there. I 100% recommend them for any event!

    Falls Church Wedding

    Kadzo and her assistant were both amazing. They delivered through professionally and the coordination went very smoothly. As the bride, I was at ease and amazed how everything was setup beautifully. My wedding was perfect and couldn’t have happened without their amazing help. Thank you so much, Fairy Godmother. If I ever renew my vows, I’ll definitely reach out to them again.

    Best Money Spent on the Wedding!

    Fairy Godmother Events was a God-send as our day-of wedding coordinator. Working with Kadzo and her team was incredible and hiring them was easily the best money we spent on the wedding. We spent months planning every detail of the wedding day but knew we didn't want to try pulling everything together day-of or ask our family/friends to. We couldn't recommend the Fairy Godmother team more.

    Kadzo and her team were absolutely AMAZING!

    Thank you for making my day amazing! You were so responsive and you helped ease my stress tremendously. You were so quick to change things if needed if they weren’t the way I wanted, you were so flexible and cared so much about what I wanted! I’m so grateful that you took care of us on our special day. My florist forgot my flowers for my sweetheart table and Kadzo collected all my bridesmaid bouquets and put them on the front before everyone entered the reception area and it looked beautiful! You guys were great and we appreciate all your help :)

    Fairy Godmother Events's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words Amanda! You and Anthony were an absolute joy to work with, and it was such an honor to be there to help you two start this next chapter of your lives together. Wishing you so much love, light, and joy in your marriage. All the best!

    Worry Free Wedding Day

    Thanks to Kadzo, Ify, Aneta, and Tameka my husband and I had a worry free wedding day. I booked them for day-of coordination and they were AWESOME. They anticipated what we would need before we even knew we needed it. LoL! I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

    Fairy Godmother Events's reply:

    Thank you Cherez! You and Scott are an amazing couple and the love you have for each other is just palpable. I'm so excited and overjoyed for you both as you continue on this journey of life together. Wishing you so many moments, big and small, worthy of celebration!

    Best,
    Kadzo

    Professionalism at its best, took the stress out of our wedding day!

    Initially we were not sure that we needed a day-of coordinator, as we had planned the entire wedding ourselves remotely with the help of our moms and knew most details inside and out. But as soon as we spoke with Kadzo over the phone, we knew we were dealing with a professional who is VERY good at her job. Kadzo said from the outset that her job would be to execute the vision we had carefully planned and to allow us and our loved ones to enjoy the day. And that is exactly what she and her team delivered.


    We had two ceremonies and two receptions, basically two weddings, planned in one day, and when we asked Kadzo admitted that this was one of the longest timelines she had worked on. Kadzo has a calm, thoughtful, and reassuring demeanor and has an established workflow with a coordinator dedicated to the wedding party and one dedicated to vendors on the day. She kindly partook in our venue walkthrough with our caterer and moms when we could not travel back for the meeting. She met with us several times over the phone and asked questions about aspects of the wedding we hadn't considered, and helped us tweak our timeline into a smoother and more logical flow. Seeing our complex decor timeline with multiple details handled by family and friends, Kadzo offered the option of adding a third coordinator dedicated solely to decor. We took her up on the offer and never looked back. Kadzo stepped in and helped us reach our caterer when we were having trouble with communications. And when it came time for our rehearsal, she helped run the show and keep us organized.


    On our wedding day, Kadzo and her team allowed us as the couple and our moms to relax and enjoy the day, without having to stress over little details. My mom, who otherwise would have had to shoulder the bulk of that burden, has said multiple times that having Kadzo and her co-coordinators there was the best decision we made and that she felt so at ease on the day with the wedding in their capable hands. Kadzo and her team were in constant communication with each other and with our photographer, caterer, and DJ so that timing went according to (and at parts even ahead of) schedule. Our DJ even commented on how easy Kadzo made his job that day. For my part, my husband and I so thoroughly enjoyed our wedding day, we still have no idea of what difficulties or hiccups Kadzo and her team had to deal with to make things run so smoothly.


    So for any couples out there wondering whether or not to take the plunge with day-of coordination, hiring Kadzo and her team was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. If you want to be worry-free and able to fully enjoy your wedding day, we would absolutely recommend that you work with Fairy Godmother Events!

    Top knotch!

    Kadzo was absolutely amazing! She ran a tight ship and kept us all on schedule and went above and beyond getting everything set up during our big day. She also gave a lot of strong advice when I was not sure about the flow or timeline. She was incredibly professional and made sure our needs were taken care of. I cannot recommend her and her team enough.

    Fairy Godmother Events's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words Lana! You did a phenomenal job planning your wedding, and it was our absolute pleasure to help bring your planning to life. Wishing you and Pablo a lifetime of love and happiness together!

    Best Wishes!

    Truly a miracle worker!

    The name says it all. Kadzo and Niassa are an absolute dream team and the way they saved my event was nothing short of an act of magic.

    If there are such things as guardian angels, I would not be surprised if Kadzo was secretly one of them. No matter the how great the ask, she took care of it, sometimes before I could even ask it!

    I have never met someone so professional and polite that still could get things done from anyone she spoke to! I think I cried more reflecting on how perfect she made the wedding than I did during my own vows.

    Without her my DIY wedding would have ended up on one of those wedding disaster/fail shows on TLC no doubt.

    We only got the day of coordination package and are absolutely kicking ourselves we didn't invest in the full coordination. DO NOT BE LIKE US. Put your wedding in her hands from jump and watch her work her magic. You will not be disappointed!

    Exceptional Service! Dream Wedding Coordinator!

    Kadzo and her assistant Niassa made our dream wedding come true. I was so impressed by their professionalism, attention to detail, and organization.

    She arrived early on our wedding day to get started. I was really worried about getting everything setup and Kadzo took the stress off immediately. She had me walkthrough what needed to be finished and she went to work! After ensuring that the catering, event space, and the bride & groom (aka me) were ready, we moved into getting the day started with the ceremony.

    Kadzo and Niassa ensured that the event went flawlessly, including breakdown.
    I found her service to be an exceptional value! Kadzo brought so much to our dream wedding. I will recommend her to all of my friends and family. Absolutely exceptional!! +5 stars

    Kadzo is awesome

    When I first contacted Kadzo she was very responsive and willing to assist me with all my questions. When we finally spoke over the phone she was very professional, straightforward and down to earth. She was very honest and gave me her honest opinion and recommendations. I highly recommended her for your event.

    End of Decade Party

    I would hire Fairy Godmother Events again in a mila-second. The vision of my End of Decade Party was executed beyond flawless. Walking into the space the evening of my celebration literally took my breath away.

    I am a type "A" personality; the communication to and from Kadzo and team was excellent. Initially we started out with monthly conference calls, as time got closer we morphed in to weekly calls. I literally did little to nothing. Kadzo, Rachel and team had questions answered before they were asked. The ability to anticipate my thought process, need and expectations were uncanny. With a bit of time and conversation, Kadzo clearly understood expectations, my genres and she ROCKED EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF MY EVENT!

    Kadzo and Fairy Godmother Events is an incredibly resourceful, professional and capable organization. I recommend Kadzo and her team to anyone seeking a party planner. They are guaranteed to blow your vision away.

    Best decision we made!

    We worked with Kadzo and Rachel from Fairy Godmother Events for day-of coordination for our October 19, 2019 wedding with 120 guests. We’d planned our wedding ourselves but about 4 months before the actual date, we realized we didn’t want to be dealing with vendors or questions from guests on the day itself.

    From the outset, as I called around to multiple day-of coordinators, I was set on working with Kadzo and Rachel. Their complete professionalism and years of experience was immediately clear. The moment we hired them, I felt more at ease.

    In our planning calls, they asked every question imaginable - ones we’d never even begun to consider - and helped us craft an exhaustive timeline and decor plan.

    On the day of the wedding, I felt like I didn’t have to do a thing except get married. Our decor was gorgeous and exactly what I’d envisioned - the team executed it to a T. Rachel dealt with multiple curve balls and responded so swiftly and quietly that I had no idea anything had gone awry until after the fact. She knew exactly what merited involving one of us, and when to delegate a decision to our maid of honor.

    I can unequivocally say that hiring Rachel and Kadzo was one of the best decisions we made in the entire wedding planning process. The peace of mind that their clear, calm decision making and planning expertise brought was worth every penny. And for the quality of their services, they are a steal.

    We cannot thank them enough, and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

    Stress Free and Fun Experience

    Working with Kadzo and her team was amazing. She is extremely professional, but also lets her personality shine. When a situation arises, you can’t feel stress from her demeanor, yet a sense of calmness. It poured on our entire wedding day from sunrise until sunrise the next day, so our outdoor cocktail hour got canceled, she handled communication about that seamlessly and sent her team to buy umbrellas to escort people in and our without me even needing to know. Day of, I didn’t have to worry about anything because I knew I could trust Kadzo. She had 3 other coordinators and they split up to handle communication with the bridal party, the guests, and the vendors. They did a phenomenal job keeping everything on schedule without rushing anything.

    Fairy Godmother Events's reply:

    Alyssa! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. Your wedding weekend was beautfiul in so many ways, I'm still floating on air and I wasn't even the Bride! Thank you for trusting us with your special day. Wishing you and Ben a lifetime of love and happiness together!

    Month of coordination

    It was a pleasure to work with FGM. Kadzo is very professional and extremely responsive. Whenever I had a question about something she got back to me with an answer promptly. She was very honest with me about things that people that don't plan weddings for a living do not think about. During the day of my wedding she and her team made sure everything went off without a hitch. I am so glad I chose to use FGM for me wedding day. I will be sure to use them again for my baby shower (claiming it now)!!

    Our Fairy Godmother

    As many know, there are so so many moving pieces to a wedding. The Bride and Groom usually sweat each detail and wondered if all bases were covered. Thanks to Fairy Godmother, specifically Kadzo West and her staff, we were able to enjoy our special Day and it was perfect. They did an amazing job and everything went as planned.
    I recommend Fairy Godmother Events to all because they were like a Fairy Godmother to us.
