    Please hire fairyfales

    Kelsey and the Fairytales team were INCREDIBLE in ensuring our wedding day went smoothly and according to plan. Like many other brides/couples who do the majority of the wedding planning themselves, I didn't really know what I was looking for or where to start in finding a day-of coordinator (or if I even needed one), but Kelsey was worth her weight in gold. She was the point of contact for the vendors, helped with guest flow, setting things up, making sure things happened at the right times, etc. She was like the stage manager of our wedding, and we honestly could not have done it without her and the team. For those couples who are hiring their own individual vendors and especially who are having a backyard wedding, I HIGHLY recommend Fairytales. I did not have to worry about anything on the day of my wedding because of them.

    Absolutely Excellent

    Kelsey was INCREDIBLE. We knew nothing about planning our wedding and what all went into it beyond our venue. Kelsey walked us through everything and gave us the perfect amount of direction. She helped us shape our dream wedding that I didn't even have a vision for before I met her. She was ALWAYS communicative and did a great job at checking in on us to keep us moving. Her day of coordinating was incredible and our guests had nothing but good things to say about her and her day-of skills. There were a couple of mishaps the day-of that I (as the bride) had NO clue about until the next day because she took care of them. She also continued great communication afterwards while we continued to figure out some remaining issues with vendors. I cannot recommend Kelsey enough. If I could give 10000/5 stars for everything (including affordability) I absolutely would. She was PRICELESS.

    Most stress-free planning experience!!

    Kelsey was absolutely incredible. From my very first conversation with her I knew she was going to knock our day out of the park. We opted for her full planning services and I did not have a single bit of stress from the time we started working together through the day of our wedding. Every vendor and style she recommend was perfectly aligned to the vision we had. I was able to relax and fully participate in / enjoy my wedding day; looking back at the pictures just reminds me how that could not have happened without her! I cannot recommend Kelsey and her team highly enough.

    Fairytales made our wedding run smooth!

    Rania, our-day-of coordinator from Fairytales, was amazing. Rania reviewed all of our contracts and she caught a few things before our event that we didn’t notice with some of our vendors - which prevented a potential big headache later. She sent us a couple of forms to fill out and created our day of agenda - and then coordinated that with our other vendors. Our event had 120 or so people. Rania helped organize our lively wedding party on the day of the rehearsal, and again the day of the wedding. She was super positive and helpful - especially given the 95 degree heat we had come the day of the wedding. She was also flexible - and willing to come earlier than we had initially anticipated. She had a bag with all the essentials - which came in handy when I managed to cover the bottom of my dress in wet dirt. Ultimately - she helped the wedding run incredibly smooth - and even made sure to pack us a to-go-bag of food and water for our ride to our hotel so that we had something to eat that night. I highly recommend the Fairytales team.

    Every Wedding Needs Kelsey

    We worked with Kelsey for 2+ years on our postponed wedding and now we are pretty sad that we won't be meeting with her any more! She was so great in helping us sort through COVID protocols, find vendors, stay organized and stay sane! Day of, she was fantastic. We did not have a single worry and spent all our time enjoying our wedding and having fun. She was so organized and worked so well with our whole vendor team. We cant say enough about how great she and the team were!

    Exactly what we needed for our fairytale wedding!

    Kelsey and Rania were amazing from start to finish. We chose the day of coordination package and could not have been happier. I am a planner through and through but we wanted someone to trust to put everything into place on our big day and Rania went above and beyond to do just that! Thank you Fairytales Event Design!

    Let wedding planning anxiety go!

    I had Kristina as my day-of coordinator and she was fantastic! From the initial phone call with Fairytale Events Design, my anxiety instantly melted. A clear outline and process was provided and an easy to navigate website kept me on track. Kristina was very responsive, led the decorating team, ran to the store to get items that were low, kept us on track for time, communicated with vendors to make sure they were on time, and dealt with difficult members of my party graciously. It’s not easy herding a wedding g party (and our dogs), but she is a pro. Thank you so much! I was able to actually enjoy my day and get rid of the crazy stress and anxiety I had. I can’t recommend hiring them enough- trust me, you’re going to need it.

    Absolute perfection!

    I had Rania and her assistant Jessica as our day of coordinator and I could not have asked for a better team! We had a Disney themed wedding and had hand made a lot of the decorations and centerpieces that I had envisioned to be set up in a very specific way and Rania was able to set up everything perfectly. She was so easy to work with and was quick to respond when I had questions. She did not seem phased at all when I made a few last minute changes and was able to have everyone follow the day of schedule perfectly. Thanks to Rania, my husband and I were able to enjoy our wedding night and was totally stress free! I cannot recommend FairyTales Event Design enough!

    Wedding Coordinator

    From the start of meeting Kelsey I knew I had made the right choice for the type of wedding and day I wanted to have. I had already done a lot of planning myself, but had no idea what to do for day of! Kelsey and her assistant was such a good day of coordinator and I had full confidence relinquishing the control to them the day of! They made my wedding vision become reality and better than I could have ever imagined. Kelsey was organized, calm, and so professional in everything that she did. And everything for the night went beyond perfect and I never had any doubt or worries about anything! With her in control, I was truly able to let myself fully enjoy my wedding and party after. Thank you guys so much for everything!

    Solved last minute issues for us

    Kelsey and Kristina are awesome. Kristina was our day of coordinator and she killed it. During rehearsal, the day before, we realized we didn't have a mic stand for the musician during the ceremony. The site didn't have one and there were no stores nearby that had one. Kristina's husband picked one up for us on his way to meet Kristina for the night. We would have had to find someone to drive down the mountain to pick one up if it had not been for her. Very organized, professional, fun, and kind. Definitely recommend.

    Fantastic!

    I had Kristina as my day of coordinator for my July 2021 wedding and she was fantastic. She was very professional and organized and made sure the day went off without a hitch. I felt like I didn’t need to worry about anything on the day, which is exactly what I wanted!

    Definitely Worth It!

    We were married in the middle of August and decided last we needed a day-of coordinator the beginning of August. I was worried it was too late, but Kristina was amazing and able to make it happen! I was able to have a stress-free morning on my wedding day knowing she was there taking care of the details. Anybody questioning if the need a coordinator or not should definitely look into hiring this team for your day! The peace of mind is worth it.

    Fairytales Event Design's reply:

    Thank you for the kind words Rachel! We were so happy to be a part of your day and wish you all of the happiness in your new life together.

    We loved working with Rania as our day of coordinator for our wedding. She was very organized helping us with our timeline and decor/details for our ceremony and reception. She helped everything run smoothly for our perfect day. Thank you!

    Perfect wedding coordinator of the day!

    Kelsey and Rania were great to work with and I would highly recommend Fairytales Event Design. Rania was our wedding coordinator of the day and she was everything we could of wanted for our wedding.I was looking for someone who could take over my planning on our wedding day and make sure everything went according to my plan. Rania was friendly, professional and brought a very positive energy to our rehearsal and wedding day! I can’t say enough great things about Rania.

    Necessary Vendor!

    Kelsey and her team were an integral part of our day! We just hired them for day of coordination but they started by coming out to the venue before the wedding to meet with some of the other vendors and see the space and we all made a plan for the layout. They spent the day of the wedding greeting the other vendors and making sure things were set up exactly like I wanted - in fact I think they did a better job executing my vision than I could have done myself! They made sure we kept to our timeline so that we didn't forget anything and kept things running so smoothly I didn't have to stress about anything. I would highly recommend them! In fact, if I were to go back in time and do it again I might hire them to help with the actual planning portion to make my life even easier.

    The photos are from the wedding showing how they helped set everything up!

    Wedding coordinator of our dreams!

    Kelsey was absolutely amazing! We loved her and would highly recommend her to anyone. She was incredibly organized and was not afraid to take charge when it was necessary. She was vital to the success of our wedding day. Kelsey arrived early to set up tables and centerpieces, and realized we had didn’t have table cloths. She quickly found a rental company and was able to do so without creating stress for myself or my husband. An hour before the wedding was to start, I realized I had a couple makeup stains on my wedding dress. Within a minute Kelsey came back from her car with a cleaning product, and she had the stains removed right away! Those are just a couple examples of how organized Kelsey is, and how quick she is to jump into action when needed. We’d hire her again in a heartbeat. She’s the best!

    Worth Every Penny!

    We both debated whether or not we needed a planner / wedding coordinator. In the end, we found Kelsey, who was able to offer day of coordination, as well as partial planning - as we had already decided on a lot of the wedding details. Kelsey was an amazing help during our rehearsal and wedding day, as well helping us figure out some final vendors and logistics. Among many things, she did a great job directing our rehearsal ceremony, helped corral people for photos, setting up our venue, cleaning up promptly and thoroughly, and was on call for any small little thing we needed on the big day - even sewing a last minute piece of a dress minutes before the ceremony. I don’t know how we would have gotten through the day without her. Thanks Kelsey, it was great getting to know you.

    She was worth every penny! I just got to enjoy my day and she made it beautiful!

    I cannot recommend Fairytales by Kelsey enough! She did an incredible job helping us plan our wedding, and then coordinating day of. She was kind and patient and dealt with my husband and I being indecisive during the planning process.

    She helped me refine my vision of a chic, starry galaxy sci-fi wedding and managed to bring it into reality. She ran with it and took my mish-mash descriptions and random ideas and created a wedding that went far beyond my wildest dreams! Kelsey took charge when we couldn't make decisions, suggested ideas that I didn't think of, and managed to bring us back to reality on some ideas.

    If you don't hire her for any planning, she was well worth it for day of coordination. The last week of planning, I think I handled one email from a vendor and then bringing everything to the venue for ease of access for her day of. At the rehearsal, she wasn't afraid to use a loud voice indoors, which was very handy with my loud family! She got people in shape and readied everyone for the next day. Day of, I woke up and went off to hair and makeup and took photos with family. There was no stress of setting up, I just gave her boxes and she took liberty with it all. She had little details, like a table runner and candles on top of a mantle, that I'd never have thought of. Minutes before our ceremony, our Man of Honor's coat button popped off, but there she was with a sewing kit and fixing it. Any questions went straight to her.

    She was worth her weight in gold. I just got to enjoy my day. She and her assistant got rave reviews from everyone. They were incredibly professional. Any future events I host will definitely be planned by her! She made my day go off without a hitch and I cannot thank her enough!

    Kelsey is the best!

    I don’t know how we would have managed without Kelsey. We hired Fairytales by Kelsey as a partial planner as both the bride and groom families were from out of town and we did not know local vendors. In addition, the wedding was nor in a regular venue, but on the bride and groom’s farm which meant that absolutely everything had to be rented and brought in. Although we had several in person meetings when we were all in town, we also communicated often by email where she was able to provide lists local vendors. Not only did she provide excellent service, but by using her vendor recommendations, we actually saved money.

    She did an incredible job helping plan our wedding, and then coordinating day of. She was kind and patient and dealt with the bride and groom and a complex group of two sets of parents during the planning process.

    In addition to the rehearsal and wedding day, we also hired her to help organize and staff the rehearsal dinner which was also on the farm. The rehearsal itself would have been a disaster without her. She was able to take charge and make sure that everything and everyone was in place for a beautiful ceremony the following day.

    Kelsey was also very understanding of our budget constraints which meant that we enlisted the help of volunteers to help with set up. She helped us set up a schedule to make sure that all the necessary tasks were completed on time. It was wonderful to just be able to enjoy the rehearsal dinner, wedding and reception, knowing that everything would be taken care of.

    Kelsey is very professional easy to work with, and attends to every detail. Everything went off without a hitch and we cannot thank her enough!

    You need Kelsey on your big day

    Kelsey was the best decision I ever made! If you are deciding if you need to have a coordinator, you need her.
    Not only she magically pulled out safety pins, tide to go pens, donuts(lol), she also made me a worry free bride. Everything is in place how I wanted them to be, and she will remind you where to go, what to do next along your side.
    Kelsey is extremely professional and efficient. When my donut wall didn't come out how I wanted it to be, she just said " you say the words, I will make it happen" and she did!
    Thank you, Kelsey.

    Day of Coordinator

    Kelsey was wonderful! I couldn't have done it without her. The day went so smooth - I had no stress worrying about timeline, seating, set-up, etc. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend!

    Appropriately named; Kelsey is the Fairy Godmother you need

    My husband and I are both type-A, extremely organized people with high standards, and we knew we found the right person with Kelsey. Do not let the reasonable pricing fool you, she's worth her weight in gold. Her professionalism, consistency in emails and updates, and experience made our big day unforgettable, and we owe a large part of it to her. We specifically enjoyed not having to worry about breaking down at the end of the night, as she's there from start to finish. We would recommend her 100% to any couple who's looking for a day-of coordinator.

    Day-of-Event Package a Perfect Fit

    Fairytales by Kelsey provided us with stellar, professional support throughout the planning phase of our wedding, and most importantly, on the big day. We opted for the Day-Of-Event Package, which included an initial telephone consultation, ongoing check-ins via email to stay on track, a meeting at the venue location with Kelsey and her assistant, Rania, one month before the event, and then a planner on-site at the venue the day of the event. This package was a great option for us, as we were comfortable making the arrangements for catering, music, decorations, photographer ourselves – we just didn’t want to have to run the show once the day arrived (or ask friends and family to work at our party). We provided the planner with contact information for our vendors and ceremony participants, then Kelsey put together a Wedding Day Timeline, as well as a Seating Plan, based on the hall dimensions at the venue. We truly felt we were in very capable hands with Fairytales by Kelsey, which allowed us to relax and just let it all unfold.

    On the day of our wedding, which happened to be a rainy Northwest day, our planner did an amazing job coordinating our guests to line up outside for our grand arrival during a brief break in the weather and encouraged guests to wave Norwegian and Swedish flags as we pulled up in a 1923 convertible Model-T. It made for a memorable moment, allowing our fun, theatrical side to be indulged. The seating plan went through a couple of revisions in the days leading up to the event, due to an expanding guest count and limited floor space. Fairytales by Kelsey kept up with our requests and adapted the seating arrangements beautifully, settling on a final configuration which was superior to anything we could have imagined. The tables were configured and decorated to perfection. The ceiling twinkle lights looked fantastic - we so appreciated the efforts that went into this challenging aspect of the decorations. We loved how the room looked and were thankful how faithfully Fairytales by Kelsey executed our vision. We received so much positive feedback from friends and family. Many people told us it was the best wedding they had ever attended, with a big emphasis on FUN. Much credit for this goes to a great planning team!

    On the back end of the event, Fairytales by Kelsey made sure our venue was ship-shape after everything concluded. The hall was clean from top to bottom, leaving no issues for us to take care of the following day. It meant so much to us to have such thorough, reliable help from our planner.

    We appreciate all the small details Fairytales by Kelsey attended to that we never knew about. We enjoyed every minute of our wedding, and so did everyone we spoke with afterwards. We recommend Fairytales by Kelsey without hesitation. Thank you again for doing a wonderful job for us.
