We worked with Ella at Light as a Feather for our December 2024 wedding. She was an absolute delight to work with. From our first meeting, I immediately felt at ease. She brings such a positive energy to the coordinating and planning process. She was familiar with our venue which was also a big plus as she already had a relationship with our venue coordinator. I felt the whole experience from the first round of questions about wedding details to saying goodbye at the end of our reception was flawless. I am a pretty organized individual but for my wedding day, I didn't want to be bogged down with decisions, questions, and planning. Ella relieved all of that from me and the bridal party. Our day felt absolutely perfect and if anything did go wrong or had any issues, I didn't see or feel it at all. I can't thank Ella and the Light as a Feather team enough for the positive experience and helping make our wedding one of the best days of our lives.

I hired Ella at Light as a Feather for my daughter’s wedding in the fall of 2024. It was the best decision I made about the wedding . Ella took over all the details, timeline, kept me on track with decor when I was all over the map, made it fun for us, and had a profession positive attitude all the way through. I can honestly say in the month leading up to the wedding I was completely calm knowing she was on board To take care of things on the day . Ella moved and lit hundreds of candles and moved 200 chairs from our ceremony space to the reception space and she did it like a ninja!! She was always enthusiastic when talking about the details and made us feel special as though we were her only clients ..her sweet , genuine , enthusiasm was so very appreciated. Ella also took care of details I never even considered , If your looking for a stress free , beautifully executed wedding hire Ella right after your engaged she will make your day magical and the planning process will be stress free and fun . Now that the wedding is over .. I kind of miss talking to her !

Light as a Feather was outstanding! Chloe was the best day of coordinator and couldn't have asked for anyone better. She was VERY organized and knew exactly what to do with every scenario we gave her. We didn't have to worry about a single thing on the day of the wedding because of Chloe! Highly recommend getting a day of planner. Thanks Chloe!!!

If you are looking for the perfect company to hire to help plan your event, look no further.
When I first started planning my wedding, I had no intention of hiring a wedding planner. I fully intended on doing all of the planning myself but as I started digging further into everything, I found myself getting more and more overwhelmed. That's when I came across Light as a Feather.
It was less than a year before my wedding and at that time, I had booked my venue but no other vendors and was feeling stressed and overwhelmed with everything that I had to do. After talking with Meredith, my fiance and I decided to move forward with a planner to help us with everything and that's when we met Chloe.
I honestly feel so blessed to have been able to work with Chloe while planning my dream wedding. She handled literally everything and took all of the stress off of my shoulders. She asked us what our vision was and she truly brought it to life. She seamlessly led us through negotiations with our venue and made our day more beautiful than I could have dreamed. Her professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail are truly unmatched.

Ella is fantastic! She helped us in the final stages of planning our wedding to make sure we didn’t miss any details. She did a great job coordinating with all of our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page & saved us from the hassle of worrying about to all of those little details of the day. Thanks to Ella, our wedding day was stress free & went smoothly! She is so well organized. She is very responsive to questions & happy to meet as often as needed as new questions arose. Ella’s assistant Megan was there on our wedding day-she is excellent as well! They make a great team. We truly appreciate all Ella & Megan did to help make our wedding day unforgettable and our own special day.

We got paired with Chloe and we could not have asked for a better coordinator to help us bring our vision to life. She was super organized and made sure we had everything we needed. We told her our day would have been an absolute mess without her help! If you're on the fence about needing a Day of Coordinator, get one!!! We didn't have to worry about literally anything day of because Chloe made sure it was handled for us. Seriously can't say enough great things about her!

Ella and the Light as a Feather team were amazing. They were professional and responsive and made sure all my other vendors were too! Ella is so kind and organized. She was willing to work with us to make our day a dream. And she did it all while she was in the process of getting married herself! I could not recommend this group highly enough.

Chloe was a fantastic wedding planner and helped create the wedding of our dreams! She helped us find the perfect vendors and communicate with them from booking through the day of the wedding. She answered all of our questions big and small and advocated for us at every turn. The timeline Chloe developed was incredibly helpful and made the wedding day run smoothly.
We enjoyed planning with Chloe and our meetings leading up to the wedding made a seemingly stressful process easy and fun. We can’t thank Chloe enough, she was incredible and we highly recommend working with her!

Ella was so amazing to work with! We had such a great experience. We originally wanted to hire a planner because our engagement was 10 months, and we were planning a multi-day Indian wedding while living in a different state. Ella kept us organized between our 5 events, and coordinated with so many different vendors. On the wedding day, she coordinated all the details seamlessly, and it was such a huge help to us! We could truly enjoy our wedding week without worrying about details or logistics. We were also very impressed at how well they assisted with planning the cultural elements, like Indian music and decor, for our wedding, which we got tons of compliments on! I would 1000% recommend LAAF if you are considering a wedding planner!

We had a WONDERFUL experience with Jordan Stefani and Light as a Feather. She was so organized, efficient, kind, and helpful. She was on top of everything but never made us feel overwhelmed, and was always willing to help. On the wedding day she was an absolute angel, always showing up when we had a question about anything, and she had everything under control. The day went so smoothly, thanks to Jordan's help with all the preparations and her day of coordination!

We had the great pleasure of working with Chloe and all I can say is she is a lifesaver! from the start she knew our vision and brought it to life! We had our venue set up inside the day of our wedding due to weather and then switched it back outside and without getting me involved or stressed she handled all of it and made it happened! She has become a friend and I’m sad that I won’t be working with her! I 1000% would recommend Chloe as your wedding planner! she’s a gem and will make sure no detail will be missed on your special day!

Chloe went above and beyond to make sure our wedding ran smoothly, even as pieces came together in the final hour and timelines shifted on the night of (all my doing!). She is positive, professional, and patient. She made wedding planning (which I found a little arduous) so much more enjoyable and manageable. I was genuinely so happy to see her every time we met. She was a creative problem solver for us in very unique circumstances (RNC weekend). She was excellent at managing the interests of the bride and both mothers-of, often fielding multiple calls from all three of us in a day. Her team rocks too— her assistant Brooke brought great energy to the wedding. Chloe was savvy and accessible, and she made our wedding the most fun I’ve ever had.

We would definitely recommend Light as a Feather. We worked with Chloe and had the partial wedding planner package where she came on as more of the full planner a couple months out. I had no idea how much logistics and planning would have to happen in the months leading up to the wedding, and it was essential to have her. We are so happy with the ways she handled all of our questions and requests, and the way she organized everything with our vendors. They helped ensure we had the perfect wedding weekend.

Our wedding was absolutely perfect because of Chloe!! Chloe handled everything seamlessly. She managed all communication with our vendors, and anyone involved in the wedding, created an extremely detailed timeline, and ensured everyone understood their role. On the day of the wedding, Chloe facilitated everything to perfection. If there were any issues, we had no idea because Chloe took care of them all.
While we were getting ready, Chloe and her team set everything up and made our dreams come true. Lastly, Chloe helped with our vision board and to bring our ideas to reality. I felt so confident during and after all our conversations that Chloe could make decisions for us if needed. I can't express enough how wonderful it was to work with Chloe. If you have the opportunity to work with her, you will be very happy. Thank you, Chloe, for making our day so wonderful!

We had the privilege to work with Chloe for our day! She was an absolute delight to work with from start to finish. Her responsiveness, organization, and extensive knowledge of the wedding planning world/logistics were truly invaluable throughout our entire planning process. Chloe effortlessly managed every detail, ensuring our rehearsal/rehearsal dinner & our special day was seamless and stress-free. Literally ZERO issues/hiccups during the ENTIRE weekend (at least to our knowledge haha!)
Her professionalism and cheerful demeanor made her such a joy to collaborate with, and her dedication to making our vision a reality was truly remarkable. We HIGHLY recommend Chloe to anyone seeking a dedicated and talented wedding planner! She exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are incredibly grateful for her, her expertise and her support!

We would HIGHLY recommend Light as a Feather as your wedding planner!
Our planner Jordan was a lifesaver throughout our wedding planning process. As soon as our contract began, Jordan handled all communication with vendors moving forward. It took a great amount of stress and anxiety off my fiancé and me as the wedding got closer and a lot of information was being shared from many different vendors. She took a lot of additional work and frustration off of our plates.
Before the wedding, Jordan made sure that every last detail was finalized. Jordan and her team went above and beyond to ensure the venue was set up to reflect our vision. Our venue was beautiful and exactly as we discussed. Jordan and her team also took down and transferred all materials left at the venue after the wedding festivities - a huge plus!
Having Jordan throughout the wedding day was beyond helpful. She was able to guide our wedding party through the wedding day activities. Further, she created and helped us execute our entire wedding day timeline. We would have been lost without her!
We experienced great communication and professionalism while working with the Light as a Feather team. Jordan went above and beyond in all aspects of the job. Her expertise in the wedding planning process was invaluable. We highly recommend Light as a Feather’s services to anyone in the process of planning their wedding. They truly made the wedding day process a breeze and we will forever be grateful that we decided to hire them to plan our wedding!

We are so happy to have found & worked with Ella! Right from the start, Ella was the best support system, giver of advice, and sounding board. There are so many details in wedding planning, and Ella always made sure we were on top of our game! Having her along with us at the rehearsal, and on the day of the wedding, made everything run seamlessly, and allowed us to have the best worry-free day. We would recommend Ella to anyone!

If there is anything you do on your wedding day, please hire Ella W. From the beginning Ella made my husband and I feel heard, important, and excited. She provided such reassurance as the day approached & we cannot count our blessings enough. She was prompt, personable, and literally like a friend in moments. Again, please hire Ella W., she will make your day absolutely flawless.

WE HAD THE MOST AMAZING PERFECT DAY!!!! 10000/10 experience. After a hiccup with our initial lead planner (she found another occupation about 6 months prior to our wedding) Merideth called us, improvised, adapted and overcame, and made it all right by assigning Chloe to our wedding, and Chloe was an absolute godsend and spectacular to work with. Extremely organized and proactive with our planning needs. We couldn’t have been pair with a better fit! Our day was amazing and literally not a single thing went wrong. Leading up to the wedding she was communicative and always found creative solutions whenever we needed. I would highly highly recommend this organization. Please consider them for your big day!!!

Ella was the absolute best! I cannot recommend her enough!
I wasn’t sure when I first started planning my wedding whether I would hire a planner or not - I am SO glad I did. It was hands down the best money spent!
Just from my first meeting with her, so much stress was taken off my plate - I could tell she could see the vision I had for my wedding day and I had no doubt she was going to make it happen.
Ella was on top of everything from the time she was hired to start working on my wedding until even after the wedding ended. Leading up to the wedding, it was so nice to have someone to ask all my questions to, reach out to vendors for me, look over my contracts, plans and timeline, and just ensure everything was being taken care of. I didn’t have to worry about setting up any of my decor day of, and more importantly, we didn’t have to worry about packing up a thing at the end of the night - Ella and her assistants packed everything up in our cars so neatly after the reception!
We were SO lucky to have had Ella and the Light as a Feather team as part of our wedding! We got so many compliments from our guests who all saw just like we did how amazing she was and all the small things she was doing to make our wedding day the best.

When we reached out to Meredith last-minute to hire a day-of coordinator for our wedding day, she was enthusiastic to help. Even though they were fully booked for the fall season, they went out of their way to help us. Meredith led the coordination herself and we truly could not have managed all the moving parts without her. Everything ran so smoothly, allowing us to fully enjoy our wedding day. We are so grateful for Meredith’s help and highly recommend her and her team!

I am a manager with a venue/caterer and recently had the pleasure to get to work with Jordan, Carrie, Eve, Ella, and Victoria on a few events over the past couple of months. As a vendor, you get to work with alot of different businesses and planners, some good and some bad, so it is really saying something when you have as exceptional of an experience as we have had with the LAAF team! They are as personable as they are professional and really feel like you're all part of the same team. They were beyond easy to work with and made the events flow extremely smoothly. Their clients were completely at ease and enjoying their special day to the utmost thanks to their efforts. They have great communication and make everything feel easy and stress-free. Our whole team, from management to servers, remarked how great they were to work with. Highly recommend working with them if you have the opportunity!

I interviewed a couple of different wedding planning services for wedding coordination for my wedding on 9/23/23. We were planning a fusion Indian-American wedding for 250+ people, with multiple events on multiple days, and lots of different cultural elements to include. As soon as I got on the phone with Meredith, I got a warm fuzzy feeling. Her lovely personality translates immediately to how she runs her business and I felt strongly that Blue Fancy was the right fit for me.
About 5 months into the wedding planning process (still approximately 8 months prior to the wedding), I realized I needed some design help. I couldn't envision how to choose table linens that went with the florals, that also went with a lighting concept, etc. I also had the added challenge of planning remotely (our wedding was in Milwaukee but I had recently moved to Nashville). I called Meredith in a panic and she had the perfect solution by connecting me to Eve, who would not only be my wedding coordinator, but also my event designer.
Eve was an absolute god-send to me. She has such a keen eye for design and immediately understood my vision and the vibe I was going for. She helped me narrow down choices to create a cohesive, curated look for every event. I still can't get over how beautiful every aspect of our wedding was, and I would never have been so confident in my choices without her guidance and stamp of approval. She was able to coordinate all the vendors to make sure they were all adhering to the design plan we put in place. She also has amazing connections and helped us get a beautiful custom bar for our cocktail hour - it was a stunning piece that really elevated our event.
She was also extremely organized, which really helped my anxiety as I am quite type-A and detail-oriented. Blue Fancy provides organizational tools and templates to dive right in to all the logistics of planning a wedding, which helped me think of things I didn't even realize I needed to take care of. We worked extremely hard in the months leading up to the wedding to get every detail in place so that I could put all the planning aside for the week leading up to the wedding. She communicated quickly and always made time for me.
With any large wedding, there are ups and downs. Eve talked me through every situation we ran into to find solutions, and no request was too much. She truly was there for me through every moment and I now consider her a friend.
Eve and her day-of team handled every detail with grace and a smile. If something went wrong, I had no idea because they just took care of everything without needing me to be involved. Our families were able to enjoy ourselves without having to worry about a single detail - she made sure everything fell into place. It was the most magical weekend of our lives and I honestly don't think it would have been so special without having Eve be a part of it.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Blue Fancy to anyone hosting a large event or wedding. I only hope you get as lucky as I did and get to work with Eve! The entire team are absolute professionals, and just wonderful people to work with.

My wife and I had the privilege of working with Chloe from Blue Fancy Events as our day of coordinator and we cannot say enough positive things about Chloe. She is organized, communicative and makes sure to put the needs of her clients first. Chloe is phenomenal at taking the initiative and making sure deadlines are met with vendors. She completely took over the communication with our vendors and that took off so much stress for my wife and I. We had the perfect wedding day and a lot of it was because of Chloe’s hard work. She made our day go so smoothly and her organization is unmatched. Chloe set up our entire venue with our decorations and made the venue really come alive. The work she did was absolutely incredible! We were so lucky to have worked with Chloe and any couple who has the privilege in the future of working with her would be very lucky as well!

We had the fortune of being paired with Chloe as our Lead Planner from Blue Fancy Events. She was fantastic throughout the entire planning process and absolutely delivered on the day of. This sounds cheesy, but Chloe made such a great teammate!
I had high expectations that my vendors were organized and provided prompt communication. Chloe recognized this, handled all vendor communication, and was consistently one step ahead of the game. She always made herself available and was so responsive throughout the entire process. Having her as our Planner felt like wedding insurance. As the unexpected curve balls happened, Chloe found a solution and made sure that everything would work out. She was our safety net.
I couldn't have executed our wedding without Chloe -- it was the best investment we could have made!

This is the easiest review ever to write. Olivia was absolutely a dream to work with. We hired Olivia for day-of-coordinating and it was the best decision we made. We started working together about 10 weeks prior to the wedding and we knew immediately after our first meeting that we were in great hands. Olivia’s organization, attention to details, and phenomenal communication alleviated any possible stress we could’ve had leading up to our wedding day. In the weeks prior to our wedding, she met with us several times, she contacted and confirmed every vendor, and she created the most detailed timeline I’ve ever seen. On our wedding wedding day, Olivia and her team of Chloe and Jordan were exceptionally organized and handled any and all details, big or small, which allowed us to completely relax and enjoy our day. All last minutes tweaks and changes were handled perfectly without any stress added to the wedding party. A few things in particular really stand out. First, we wanted to set up a traditional “Pittsburgh Cookie Table” at our reception. Olivia truly understood and executed our vision and guests could not stop raving about how amazing it was. Secondly, at the end of the night, Olivia and her team packed up all of our boxes and loaded them in our family’s vehicles so us or our families didn’t have spend additional time with decoration takedown. I cannot express enough how much we appreciated that. And finally, at the end of the night, Olivia had the rest of our three-tiered cake delivered to our hotel room which made for the perfect late night food. We LOVED working with Olivia and her team and cannot recommend them enough. Thanks for helping us have the most perfect day!

My husband and I chose Blue Fancy's full wedding planning package for our December 2022 wedding. Our lead planner was so kind and knew all the details to cover for our big day. Blue Fancy executed our dream wedding. Our guests continue to talk about how beautifully decorated our ceremony and reception were. Our lead planner handled all vendor communication and we had no stress during the 15 months of planning. Their full planning wedding service is a must and well worth the investment for the once in a lifetime day.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Meredith and Blue Fancy! My husband and I are both busy professionals, and Blue Fancy not only created a gorgeous wedding for us but also made it so easy from our end. We adored Meredith and Olivia from the first call. They recommended great vendors for all aspects of the day and took care of everything down to the last detail. We were able to relax, enjoy the lead up to the wedding as well as the wedding day. If you are looking for a planner to give you a beautiful wedding without the headaches that go along with it, look no further than Blue Fancy!

Blue Fancy Events- Thank you to Meredith Sipe, our partner in crime and the lady who brought our vision to reality. Meredith is like family and treated this day like it was her own. It was her mission to make Ryan and Caroline’s day magical and she surpassed all expectations! She has exceptional communication skills, makes you smile just to interact with her, is equal parts cheerleader and mama bear when it comes to getting it right for the couple and knows how to throw one heck of a party! I’m tough and I will work with this crew anytime I am throwing a bash. They are the best! We couldn’t be more grateful! Her team of Olivia, Amanda, Ali and Eve were the absolute best! They were there taking care of us every minute of the day. They were invested, professional, kind and lots of fun.

Olivia Szozda was our day of coordinator (but really month of) from Blue Fancy Events and she was outstanding. From our very first call all the way through the wedding, Liv was thorough, extremely detail oriented, caring, fun to work with, and so, so hardworking. 10/10 recommend and 10/10 best money spent.

If you are looking for an above and beyond experience, look no further than Meredith and her team at Blue Fancy. Her along with Olivia were truly a treat to work with. There wasn't a need to stress over any minor details because they had everything handled. Communicating over email/text and video chat was easily handled. I could not have gotten through this planning without them. They are a more expensive route, but I would do it all over again for the level of service and care that was provided. Meredith was going through cancer treatments during our wedding process and she never skipped a beat. I truly see her and her team as angels for working so hard and navigating such a wonderful yet challenging event planning process. We got engaged in May of 2020 and then married in September of 2022. BF was with us every step of the way. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is in the market for a planner.

I had a great experience with Blue Fancy! Liv was detailed, attentive and prioritized my vision, cutting out other commentary and opinions about the day. She was fabulous, patient, and on her A-game the night of the wedding. Anything that I needed day-of, she had covered. I had a lot of vendor juggling to manage, she truly relieved me of all stress and concern the last 90 days headed into the wedding. Would highly recommend Blue Fancy and I think you get the best value with this company over other planners in the area!

Blue Fancy (BF), unfortunately, did not meet our expectations. I don’t think it’s necessary to go into detail listing all of the things that went poorly and I want to give them credit for the things that did go well.
Context: we are both from Wisconsin, but are currently living out of state with stressful, time-consuming jobs, which is why we wanted to hire a planner. We got married in Fond du Lac and most of BF’s experience is in the Milwaukee area. We had a backyard wedding at our family members’ homes over a holiday weekend. We hired BF 1.5 years prior to our wedding date.
Pros:
-BF was very helpful with providing structure (a to-do list, timeline) and recommending vendors.
-They were insightful when finalizing the rental company contract in terms of backyard wedding details that we would not have thought of. For example, generator needs, water hookups, etc.
-Day of set-up. They provided us with 3 team members, which was incredibly helpful.
Cons:
-All together, we had a total of 3 planners. Our first planner quit and our second planner had to take a step back due to a serious personal matter. This resulted in poor communication, confusion, and stress. It was often unclear who was taking lead on what and we felt the team did not have the bandwidth to actually manage our wedding. We constantly felt like we had to double-check everything and take care of things ourselves because it was unclear who was doing what and we did not want things to fall through the cracks. Despite this, things did fall through the cracks. For example, we did not finalize our catering contract until 1 month prior to the wedding, which ended up being $8,000 more than we originally agreed because we had no other choice. Additionally, the band that BF recommended pulled out 6 weeks prior to our wedding. This was not their fault and they found a replacement within a week, but this was still stressful.
-They seemed to take a ‘copy and paste' approach as in they just replicated what they did for previous weddings instead of really listening to what was truly important to us. More of a you fit us instead of we fit you. For example, although they provided recommendations for vendors, we ended up having to find some on our own because their recommendations did not align with our preferences/budget. Examples: photographer, videographer, and hair & make-up team. When we mentioned wanting a videographer within a certain budget, we were told this was unrealistic and received no help. We did find a videographer within our budget and he did a great job!
-Poor attention to detail. This was pretty concerning and prevalent throughout the process. A couple of examples: (1) they neglected trash removal and only had solutions for the Milwaukee area when we brought it to their attention. We ended up coming up with a creative solution on our own; (2) at the rehearsal dinner, the lead planner did not know the location of where to tell the hair and make-up team to go the following morning (day of).
In sum, we’re hoping our experience was abnormal. Nonetheless, we never received an apology, acknowledgment, or a thank you for using their service or any sort of contact after the wedding, which we find unprofessional. We were extremely sympathetic to the series of events that were out of their control, but ultimately, the way it was handled was subpar and the planning process/day of execution was stressful. We wish them the best and hope things are improving.

I'm so sad and so sorry that you viewed your experience in such a poor light. A two-star r...
ating on all of our review sites is really hard to swallow right now, especially since I am already going to have to do a great deal of rebuilding after my cancer treatment. Doing the math on that, 40% is pure failure, and I'm sorry that that is how you saw your experience. I want you to know that I worked incredibly hard to make your wedding a success.
This is a time in my life that I don't know I could have ever been prepared for. I'm truly doing the very best that I can to run a company while undergoing extremely intense cancer treatment. I am, of course, just trying to navigate this one day at a time. I was right in the middle of chemotherapy on your wedding day, however, I was still right there by your side the entire time. It was crucial to bring on an additional team member in order to make everything run as smoothly as possible, but I'm sorry that it made you feel like you didn't know who to turn to. I still remained your full time planner, as I really enjoyed working with you, but I also knew that I would need extra hands to make it a bit less bumpy.
I guess I don't know what to say, other than I'm really sad and disappointed. The wedding day itself was beautiful and magical, and other than the band mishap with the speaker (which was obviously out of our control), it was actually pretty flawless.
I wish you both the best.

If you're getting married, do yourself a favor and hire Blue Fancy! My husband and I opted to do their 'Wedding Planning Kit' for our wedding at the Milwaukee Art Museum, and it was absolutely perfect for us. Meredith was very helpful in the beginning with vendor recommendations (all of which we hired and were FANTASTIC), and helping us plan our budget. After giving us a great starting point, we felt confident that we could move forward booking all the vendors we wanted and tackling the 'big things' over the next 12 months. To be clear, Blue Fancy was not very involved throughout those 12 months because we did not hire them for 'full planning', but the advice and guides in the beginning were extremely helpful, and Meredith happily answered our questions throughout the year (though technically, she didn't have to).
A quick note: The vendor recommendation list alone would be worth every penny! We booked all of our vendors from Meredith's suggested list, and every single one of them was wonderful.
Once we got farther along in the planning process and we were getting close to the wedding, we were assigned our coordinator going forward- and Ali Nigel took over! I cannot stress enough how absolutely delightful Ali was. We had a long call to go over details about 2 months out from the wedding, and an in-person meeting 1 month out. From there she really took over most of the vendor coordination and communication. The week of my wedding I hardly had to deal with any calls, scheduling, or questions! Ali ran the rehearsal and the wedding day, and everything went perfect. Not only was she incredibly organized and one step ahead, but you'll also want to be her friend!
I would recommend Blue Fancy to anyone getting married in the Milwaukee area, we are SO happy we did!

Planning a wedding is super stressful, especially when you are new to the area and do not know the wedding industry at all. My husband and I started planning our wedding in Milwaukee after moving out here a few years ago and there came a point where we felt overwhelmed and decided to look into getting a wedding planner to help take some of the stress off our plates. We came across Blue Fancy Events who offered a package to help us plan the rest of the wedding as well as be there to help everything run smoothly the day of our wedding. We’ve been to weddings that were chaotic and confusing with planning elements lacking and we did not want our guests to feel that way at our wedding (and they definitely did not thanks to Ali!).
Ali was our wedding planner and she gave us lots of helpful recommendations for our remaining vendors and assisted us with setting up meetings, reviewing contracts, creating schedules, etc. Creating the day of schedule breaking down every minute of the wedding day including who needs to be where and when, and when each vendor was arriving/leaving was one of the most helpful things Ali did for us. We had no idea how much went into the day itself and this schedule kept everyone on track and where they needed to be and was something we could share with our wedding parties and family so everyone was on the same page. On the day of our wedding and at our rehearsal, Ali’s professional demeanor and positive attitude brought everyone comfort in knowing things were running smoothly. She was patient with us as we went through the rehearsal of the ceremony numerous times and made changes to the timeline up until the morning of the wedding. She took all of the stress off of me, the bride, the day of my wedding and had everything set up just the way we imagined it. She even loaded up the car at the end of the night so we did not have to worry about a thing when leaving our reception! We got so many comments from friends and family stating that our wedding was the best wedding they ever attended and that everything looked and ran so flawlessly. We owe so much of that to Ali and her team and cannot thank you enough for helping us pull off the wedding of our dreams!

Blue Fancy - wow!!! What an AMAZING CREW!!! We got married on June 18th, 2022 and had the lovely Sydney V. as our wedding planner. She was so sweet, down to business, and made our day so seamless. We appreciated her constant patience laughter and joy with us through the ups and downs of planning a wedding. She was always a phone call away and made us feel so loved and special on our day! They helped with everything from timeline, vendor communication, to picking up brunch the day of the wedding, to putting together little details to set up, and put their 1000% effort into everything they do!
Meredith just as wonderful and such a powerful business women, I respect the heck out of her!! We couldn't have done our day without this wonderful team and appreciate all the fun we had leading up and the day of! We love blue fancy and they will always hold a special place in our heart.

I could not be more thrilled with the Blue Fancy Team and especially the owner, Meredith. My husband and I had a two year engagement and in that time we had already hired another wedding planner. Unfortunately, we needed to part ways with him due to a lack of understanding of our vision, budget requirements and overall non-responsiveness. The first phone call with Meredith we absolutely loved her energy and passion for the wedding industry. We felt an immediate connection as she found and worked with our vendors and answered ALL of our questions promptly. Meredith really shined the 3 months before our wedding - providing such a detailed timeline (second by second) and frequent check-ins. Over the two years we formed not only a deep connection but most certainly a friendship that will last a lifetime. Our wedding was the most incredible day of our lives and was completely stress free thanks to Meredith and team!

Thankful for Blue Fancy Events! Without them, our wedding would have been much more stressful for us and our families. Morgan started working with us and our vendors 3 months out and ran the day of our wedding. My only regret is not hiring them for all of our wedding planning earlier. BFE was some of the best money we spent; you will not regret hiring them.

Blue Fancy Events made our wedding day stress free and very organized. Morgan was on top her game that day, flawlessly carrying out the itinerary to a T. She was in constant communication with us the whole day and the several months leading up to the big day. She was very thorough and organized. No stones were left unturned. I highly recommend this company for your big day. You will not be disappointed. Worth every penny :)

Meredith and Blue Fancy are the best! They made the entire process seem easy. Meredith helped us find our vision, which was extra impressive as I feel like we didn't give her that much to go off of! If anything didn't go as planned, I didn't know it. Everything was executed flawlessly and Meredith saved the day many times over in the face of a few supply chain/COVID issues the week of the wedding. All vendors and venues suggested by Blue Fancy were amazing. Highly recommend Blue Fancy!

Absolutely love Meredith and her team. They helped us define our vision and then executed it flawlessly. Our big day went off without a hitch despite all sorts of unavoidable, last-minute, issues as a result of wedding party/family issues in the wake of COVID. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful and we received nothing but compliments. All vendors and venues were amazing. Would recommend Blue Fancy 1000x over.
