Fairy Godmother a Wedding and Event Company

I am a wedding photographer in Central California and have worked with Colleen and her team on many occasions over the years. I recommend her to all my brides. They are so professional to work with. After 22 years of doing weddings, I really appreciate a team of vendors that work together well and support each other to pull off the best day ever for my bride and grooms. I always look forward to the events we work together because I know it will be smooth and perfect down to every minute detail. I wish all my brides would choose to work with Fairy Godmother. It makes a world of difference.

Colleen, Kimberly, and the Fairy Godmother team were a wonderful part of our wedding for over two years. During our wedding planning process we had some venue changes come up and we would have not landed on our final venue without Colleen’s help. When we needed her, she swiftly worked to help find us the perfect place for our day. One of the biggest things I valued about Colleen was the care she showed me as a bride. When an issue came up with someone involved in the wedding process, she was quick to share that if I wasn’t happy, she’d work to make things right, and she did. Because of this situation and her work throughout the planning process, we knew we would be taken care of on wedding day; and if anything went wrong, we wouldn’t have known because she and her team always had a smile on their face. Our wedding design was also beautifully brought to life thanks to the time Kimberly put into our wedding and the fairies who set up at our venue the day of. We are still in awe of how beautiful everything looked. Thank you to the Fairy Godmother team for all of your work to make our day wonderful and so memorable! - Raquel and Clayton

As the owner of a DJ company, I've had the pleasure of collaborating with Colleen and her team at 'Fairy Godmother' on numerous weddings. Each time, I am consistently impressed by their exceptional professionalism and meticulous attention to detail. In my over ten years in the wedding industry, I've rarely encountered a group as dedicated and caring as they are. Fairy Godmother's team goes above and beyond to ensure every wedding is as flawless as possible, prioritizing their clients' comfort and peace of mind throughout the planning and execution. Their commitment to creating a stress-free experience for couples is truly remarkable. If you're in the midst of wedding planning, I wholeheartedly recommend Colleen and her team. Choosing Fairy Godmother to plan your special day is a decision you won't regret. They have a unique ability to transform weddings into extraordinary celebrations, making them some of the most memorable days in a couple's life.

Colleen and Kimberly with Fairy Godmother were the perfect team for our daughter's wedding in November 2023. Through 4 venue changes beyond our control, Colleen kept her cool and helped us navigate a stressful situation and found us the perfect location. Kimberly took our daughter's vision and made it come true. They led us to the perfect vendors while keeping us and the wedding party in the loop at every step of the way. Having a wedding coordinator is a must and Fairy Godmother is the BEST in the business!

Fairy Godmother is where it’s at! Colleen and her team made my life so much easier during wedding planning! They were so professional, easy to work with, kind, and you can tell they have a passion for doing this work. I am so grateful. They were worth every cent and then some!! Thank you Colleen and your team for being such wonderful people and for being so stellar at your craft. I was beyond pleased with your services and you helped make our wedding day go seamless and helped us feel loved and cared for. <3 Jessie

If you want a smooth, stress-free wedding, then you need to hire Fairy Godmother! Colleen and her team were helpful, diligent, and so supportive through the whole wedding plan process. Kimberly, my Fairy designer, was so detail oriented and helped my vision come to life. On the day of my wedding, I did not have to worry about a thing! They created the timeline for the day, set up all the decor, communicated with vendors, and made sure the day ran perfectly! Fairy Godmother truly allowed me to have the perfect wedding.

I could not recommend colleen and her team of fairy godmothers enough! From the beginning of planning to the clean up of the wedding they were there to ease any stress, make decisions and always point me in the right direction. Colleen recommended vendors, and even reached out to them for me to make planning as easy as it could be. The design team at fair mother created my absolute dream wedding! They took my Pinterest board and really brought it to life. They stuck to my budget and were accommodating with all of my ideas. During the wedding day, I was able to live in the moment and not worry about anything else because the fairy godmothers took care of EVERYTHING! My dress strap broke during a dance and as soon as the song was over they fixed my dress in a matter of seconds and there was no stress at all, they really do plan for everything. The team truly made sure everything about our wedding day was magical. Thank you Fairy Godmother!!!!

Colleen and Fairy Godmother were referred to me by a colleague, and I am so glad I gave her a call. Planning a wedding can be intimidating and overwhelming, and I am someone who thrives off planning, organizing, and designing. However, I found myself thinking, "where the heck do I start?". For me, it was calling Colleen. I knew immediately that I liked her energy and her get down to business attitude. When she told me she had guides, checklists, examples of previous work...she had me. Along the way, Colleen helped calm me down when I got nervous about timing and helped reach out to vendors to make sure the right questions were asked and answered. Along the way I got to work with Kimberly, an expert design member of the Fairy Godmother team. I was nervous at first because I am a creative myself, and I can be particular when it comes to my vision. Kimberly managed to perfectly match the vibe I was going for and gave fantastic suggestions for where to find decor to make that vision come to life. Even with all my questions, she remained patient and kind, answering each one. She made me feel like the artwork I contributed was a main focus and that small gesture went a long way. Clearly I can write a lot about the two of them (and everyone else on the team), but the best way to sum up their work were the constant comments from our guests..."I have never seen a wedding run so smoothly"..."Everything started on time but nothing felt forced"..."This was the best timeline I have ever seen put together"..."I honestly can't think of one thing about this wedding that didn't go well". They honestly helped make my wedding a dream come true. I was someone who thought I would never get my wedding day...and not only did I get it, but it was the most amazing day I could have possibly imagined. Thank you Colleen and Kimberly!!!!! *Photos for this review were from Michael Segal Weddings

Colleen and her team hands down made our wedding day PERFECT. My husband and I are busy medical students and I was looking for a wedding planner who could help me with wedding planning from beginning to end and Collen went above and beyond. From the very beginning, Colleen was flexible with our busy schedules and coordinated planning meetings even late at night to meet our needs. She made me feel extremely at ease and she helped me find the absolute best vendors for our wedding. She is extremely organized and timely. She was quick to respond to my emails and always made me feel heard throughout the planning process. On day of, we did not lift a finger! (Colleen and her team wouldn’t let us!) We truly enjoyed our day from beginning to end thanks to Colleen's help. I want to especially mention Kimberly, Colleen's lead designer. Kimberly absolutely made my wedding design vision come true beyond my expectations and within my budget! She was very kind and flexible especially when it came to looking for multiple rentals and vendors to meet our needs. On day of, Kimberly and her design team worked incredible heard to make our vision a reality. I cannot thank Colleen and her team enough!!! They truly made my wedding day an unforgettable and stress-free day.

As the groom, I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Fairy Godmother Events! As a younger couple my wife and I were sometimes not taken seriously by vendors when we were planning on our own. From the moment we first contacted Colleen she never made us feel that way and to the day of our wedding, Colleen and her whole team were an absolute dream to work with. Our wedding was nothing short of magical, and it wouldn't have been possible without their expertise and dedication. First and foremost, their communication was exceptional. They were always just a phone call or email away, and they responded promptly to our endless questions and concerns. They made us feel like we were their only clients, giving us their undivided attention and making us feel so special throughout the entire planning process. This became paramount as my wife and I were in a bad car accident that took months of recovery, throughout that whole time Fairy Godmother Events made us feel like we still never had to worry. Due to that accident and the prolonged recovery time our wedding budget became severely cut and we started to remove things from our wedding that we felt were huge pieces of our wedding in the emotion we were trying to invoke. However, going above and beyond Fairy Godmother pulled from a foundation built for couples who’s lives have been changed due to situations like ours and saved all of the things we had decided to cut as a surprise to my wife. Needless to say on the day of when truly everything from our vision came true she was speechless. Your generosity and support transformed our special day into a magical and unforgettable experience. We are deeply moved by your kindness and the difference you've made in our lives. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your incredible gift.❤️ Our wedding designer Kimberly’s creativity and attention to detail were unparalleled. Our wedding was a true reflection of love story, and the emotion we wanted to share with our guests and it was all thanks to their ability to bring our vision to life. From the breathtaking floral arrangements to the carefully curated decor, every element of our wedding was perfect. In addition to their professionalism and expertise, Colleen was a joy to work with on a personal level. She is warm, friendly, and genuinely cared about us and our special day. We felt like we were working with a dear friend who had our best interests at heart. Their impeccable organization and coordination made the day stress-free for us and our families. We were able to focus on the joy and celebration, and we'll forever be grateful for that peace of mind. We cannot recommend them highly enough. If you want an stress-free, beautiful, and truly memorable wedding, this is the wedding planner you should choose. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! ❤️❤️❤️ Francisco & Jordyn Dubon

I'm a vendor who worked with Fairy Godmother Events. I just wanted to say I've worked with hundreds of event planning companies over the years. Colleen and the crew of fairy Godmother Events are named that way for a reason. They put on spectacular, beautiful, elegant events that flow seamlessly and you don't forget. Being there is like a dream. Her and the team are so inviting, friendly, responsive, eager to help at every moment and make the entire evening stress free so you can just be there and enjoy everything! Brides and grooms - if you've come across them online, stop looking. You've found your event planner.

I just want to begin by saying, hiring the fairies was the best decision I ever made!! Brooke was by far my built in best friend from day one. Not only did she work with us as in business wise, but we also left our venue with a good friend. Brooke will forever hold a certain place in our hearts, she made our dreams come to life and more!! It made us very sad knowing that would be our last day seeing her and that it all would come to an end. If you are thinking about hiring a wedding planner do it and definitely go with Fairy God Mother, especially Brooke 🫶

Fairy Godmother is exceptional! We met them almost two years ago, and knew this was going to be the best decision we could make for our wedding day. Both Kimberly and Colleen were extremely organized and took away ALL the stress that comes with planning a wedding. The day of the wedding was a dream come true! It was so smooth and we had absolutely no worries in the world. We were able to soak in every moment (stress free) and enjoyed ourselves the entire day. They brought together everything we wanted and did not skip any details. The two of them are very detailed and passionate about what they do. Colleen and Kimberly are so kind and easy to work with. It truly was the best day of our lives... because of Fairy Godmother!

The best choice ever was to hire Colleen and her amazing team of talented people. They helped organize, design, and plan our entire wedding and made the day run unbelievably smooth. Seriously made our day the best day ever!

Hands down the best company ever! Brooke went above and beyond for my husband and I. Our wedding was absolutely perfect thanks to her and all of her hard work behind the scenes! We didn’t have to worry about a thing the day of our wedding, Brooke took care of EVERYTHING. I will forever recommend Brooke and Fairy Godmother to everyone I know! The best experience and the best decision I made was to hire fairy godmother!

The best ever! Do not hire anyone else! Colleen and her team stepped in for my brothers events 2 weeks before the day and handled everything wonderfully! She quickly understood all the details and had a timeline ready for everyone within a couple days! I cannot say enough good things. Colleen handled any hiccup (which weren’t many) that came along with ease and a smile on her face. She made my family and I feel stress free and we were able to enjoy the events and were able to spend some quality time with our family from overseas! Honestly - A true fairy godmother!! Definitely keeping fairy godmother in mind for any of our future events. Thank you again!

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.

When It comes to preparation, execution day of, and nailing all of the details of planning an event, it does NOT get any better than Colleen and her Team at Fairy Godmother, Even before I arrived at the Bakersfield Country Club the day of , Her team was already on site (And had been for some time) checking, and then doubling checking to make sure EVERYTHING was in place, setting, fixing linens, adjustments to flowers, glasses and silverware were perfect, you name it. and as a DJ, Timelines are the Holy Grail day of, so when I received hers and started going through it I knew Not only was I in Good hands, but the event would run flawlessly (and it DID) she is amazing at what she does because she cares and surrounds her self with like a minded staff.. I would Give her 100 Stars if they let me

Colleen and her team were my saviors on the wedding day! From handling me in my over the top crazy outfit to making sure I'm comfortable at every step, the whole team had my back. Every little detail that we discussed prior came to life that day. The team helped the guests with whatever they needed and also coordinated all the vendors. I 100% recommend hiring her team to make your special day super smooth and stress free. Colleen is probably one of the most special and positive person that I have ever met. She has such a beautiful smile that really calms and warms you up during nervous times! I love her for everything she did for me ❤️

Colleen and Rachel from Fairy Godmother were fantastic! They helped bring all of my dreams and wishes for our wedding day into reality and it was truly everything I hoped for! Rachel was fantastic with the design of the wedding. She brought my vision to life and even added elements I had never thought of! It was perfection! Colleen helped manage everything, introduced us to vendors, and was an amazing day of coordinator as well. She kept us on track, made sure everything happened the way we had requested, and we didn't have to worry about a thing knowing she had it covered! They helped us stay in our budget and still delivered the most perfect wedding. I am so happy I hired Fairy Godmother!

Anne was the best wedding day gal! she helped me with so much i didn’t have to lift a finger!!she made the whole entire day and night run so smoothly i appreciate her and Dani!! without them i probably would’ve never made it!! ❤️❤️ thank you so much fairy god mother and your wonderful fairies! highly recommend

Where do I start? Hiring Fairy Godmother was the best decision as a bride! We actually started the whole planning process 2 years before the wedding, and I’m glad we did because of COVID! Colleen was such an amazing person to work with. She is so passionate about her work and that is was makes a bride’s day so magical. I’m could never thank her enough for my dream wedding. My advice to every soon to be bride is to get a hold of Fairy Godmother!!

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.

Being an event coordinator myself I knew that letting someone else plan my big day would be difficult. However, meeting with Fairy Godmother’s team they were able to bring my fall & football wedding vision come to life. It was amazing not having to worry about the set up, clean up, timelines, grouping people around, etc. Fairy Godmother does an amazing job and I’d hire them again! 💖

To really find out what someone's reputation is within the wedding industry, you should ask the opinion of other wedding vendors. I am here to tell you that Colleen is the complete package. I am a makeup artist and worked with her on a wedding recently. Her communication and organization was impeccable and her follow-thru unparalleled. Even though my role is a small one, she made me feel important and part of the overall team. I probably talked to her for all of 5 seconds on the big day but I can tell she has a servant heart and really gives her all to her clients to be the hero of their day. She even helped out doing the breakfast dishes on the morning of while the girls were getting ready. I wish I had an event for her to plan, I would not have to worry about a thing!

Colleen and her fabulous team helped us navigate probably 20 different plans, several different time zones, a few bumps in the road to say the least (#covidbride), and possibly everything in between with impeccable grace and professionalism. We had literally thrown so many different ideas Colleen's way and everytime she was incredibly supportive, engaged, and ready to take on the task (for context we had a fully planned wedding on the west coast, then switched to the east coast, then back to a completely different plan on the west coast - so we really got a three for one! every single time we had a new idea she was the first one to get on board). We really had no idea what went into making a wedding perfect - the details, the venue, the coordinating - and Colleen was there to truly guide us every step of the way and we could not have been MORE happy with the outcome. The day of went without a hitch and after all the turbulence of planning a wedding in a pandemic, Colleen and her team really made it so beyond incredible! She also connected us to the most FABULOUS vendor team that we could not be happier with (in all three different venue locations too LOL - she knows great people everywhere! I am telling you we put her to the test haha). Colleen knows how to make an unforgettable event and knowns exactly how to create and coordinate a team that will execute it with perfection!

I would recommend Fairy Godmother to any and everyone! Her team was so helpful with helping me find vendors and compare prices. Colleen made sure that all the vendors, family, and bridal party were all in the know, and tripled checked the timeline with me before the big day. When our port-a-pottys didn’t show up, she had another company on its way just in case the first one didn’t show up. We also

10/10!! Colleen is the best Fairy Godmother out there!!! If you are debating on having a wedding planner, let this review be the one to change your mind. Let me give you a few examples, I am currently going through Chemotherapy & on my wedding day I was experiencing some nausea (ughh)--but in the midst of photos, Colleen comes to the rescue with water & comfort! Any time I felt a moment of stress, she would handle it with such grace. I honestly do not know what I would've done without her at my wedding. Hire them for all your event planning needs, you will not regret it! :)

The Fairy Godmother was the absolute best to have on my wedding day. Everything exceeded expectations to make the day memorable and stress-free. Thank Colleen and your team for being absolute joys!!

As the Mother of the Bride hiring Fairy Godmother was a godsend. Colleen and her staff thought of everything and took the stress of wedding planning and day of details off of myself and the bride so that we could enjoy the special day. It’s so important to have a timeline and a crew behind the scenes at the reception to handle those crazy unplanned things that come up. In our case it was big letters that light up but we didn’t have an extension cord to reach the dance floor and gnats that were attracting to the donut wall. They handled both without us even knowing. Another perk was the help during photographs! Colleen helped the guys with their flowers and fixed the brides dress. All of the little touches were so appreciated and made for beautiful photographs that stayed on schedule.

Colleen and her fellow Fairy Godmothers were absolute joys! At first, we were a little leery of using such a service but quickly relaxed and realized we were in professional, caring hands. Colleen created a timeline, contacted our vendors so all were on the same page, and attended our rehearsal; just in case there needed to be any last-minute adjustments. Wedding Day went smoothly because of her attention to detail and staying true to the timeline. What a surprise to come inside after the reception, which had to be at our house, to find clean dishes, folded tablecloths, and left-overs neatly packed in the fridge. Above and beyond the call of duty!! I highly recommend the Fairy Godmother! The BEST!

The entire team at Fairy Godmother was absolutely incredible! Our wedding planning had become more work than it was fun due to COVID-19. We were forced to switch venues super late in the game and that’s when we met Colleen with Fairy Godmother, Colleen and her team took all of that stress away and planned the wedding of our dreams in just ten days!! With several last minute obstacles that ended up in our path to happiness, Fairy Godmother successfully helped us navigate through them and managed to coordinate a flawless wedding ceremony and reception that left us, our families, and the attendees extremely happy and thankful.

I would like to start off by saying Colleen is amazing! Due to COVID we had an entire venue and location change and guest count reduction and she made it such a pleasant experience for us! She took all our stresses away and made our wedding PERFECT. Colleen and her team were extremely organized, punctual and so very sweet! Brooke worked with us on our design and she did a fantastic job, everything was perfect and exactly how we imagined it! Colleen put together a surprise on our wedding day that absolutely surprised us and just showed us how much Colleen cared about us and our big day. I am named after the car, Chevelle, and Colleen found a 1970 Chevelle for us to take pictures with after our first looks. My dad was so surprised and thrilled because it is his favorite car! The car was stunning. It just made the day so much more special for us. My husbands favorite thing about Colleen when we met with her was her attention to detail and organization. Her budget spreadsheet was clear and organized and the wedding itinerary was extremely thorough. Our wedding party really appreciated having the detailed itinerary and so did we! We love Fairy Godmother Events and look forward to using them for future events!! xoxo

Due to covid, it was a very rocky planning process. Callie helped me the entire way. Any questions I had were answered. On the day of the wedding Callie and Anne were so helpful and sweet. They made sure I had anything and everything I needed. They made sure no matter what that they had my back. They did amazing! Hiring this company to help coordinate my wedding was the best decision I made. I would highly recommend them

My Fairy Godmother was Sara, not only is she sweet as can be, but her love of this job shines through her work especially on wedding day! She's super easy to get along with, she clicked with myself and my mom immediately! It's important to have a planner that sees and understands your vision for your wedding day, don't stop until you meet YOUR planner. I am a wedding photographer and I have worked weddings without a planner, and that's totally fine, but I knew for myself, on our special day, there was NO way I wasn't going to have a planner, and lucky for us we were blessed with Sara! Sara, it was a blast working with you, thanks again for EVERYTHING!

The Fairy Godmother team is like no other event planning company out there. The entire team is professional, creative, their designers are out of this world and nice as can be, and you can tell they LOVE what they do. As a Makeup & Hair company I love working with Fairy Godmother Wedding and Event Company because they are always on top of communication and things always run so smoothly. I tell brides that book with Fair Godmother they have absolutely nothing to worry about because they are in the best hands ever. If I could give them 10 stars I would because hands down they are the cream of the crop. Allie/The Beautiful Life www.thebeautifullifenation.com

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! 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!

If you are questioning if you need any help planning your wedding call Fairy Godmother! I originally just wanted a day of coordinator, but quickly realized I needed more help and upgraded to partial planning. Sara is our fairy and has been absolutely wonderful during this past year of planning. Everything has ran smoothly and she’s kept my stress level very low. She found us the best vendors who we love, made the most detailed day-of schedule, brought my decor Pinterest board to life, and covered all the small details I would’ve never thought of. Unfortunately, our venue cancelled 18 days before our wedding due to the COVID-19 outbreak. My fiancé and I were devastated, heartbroken and I began to panic. Sara helped us brainstorm our options, and we ultimately made the decision to postpone and find a date this fall. She was so compassionate during this emotional time and always reassured me that everything would be okay. As soon as I got off the phone with Sara that day, she was making phone calls to venues and all our vendors. Within 24 hours of our decision to postpone, she was able to secure a date in the month we wanted with ALL of our same vendors. Sara has been such a blessing to us and because of her, we still get to have our dream wedding with all our dream vendors. She is a miracle worker and we absolutely adore her!!

My fiance and I chose to hire Fairy Godmother after having their services recommended to us by my future mother-in-law. We knew that hiring a planner was important to us with our crazy schedules, but we had no idea how much help the whole team would be. With our wedding just 18 days away, we had our wedding canceled due to COVID-19 precautions. We were absolutely devastated and did not know what we were going to do. However, because we have Colleen and her amazing team on our side, we were able to quickly reschedule in just two days' time. Without Colleen, my fiance and I would have been at a loss on how to move forward. We are now so excited for our new wedding date & we know it's going to be a beautiful celebration thanks in large part to Fairy Godmother!

I could not have asked for a more perfect fairy godmother to be with me throughout the whole wedding planning season and the day of! I truly had no stresses the day of the wedding, and her meticulous timeline kept everyone on schedule and ensured that everyone knew what they were supposed to be doing an when. I would recommend Sara to any and all friends and brides that asked for a planner recommendation!

Not only did this team make my wedding day everything I ever imagined and more, but they also are the most kind people in the world! My wedding day was beautiful, stress free, meaningful and fun....all because of the help of this amazing team. They are professional, organized, detailed and take pride in making everything amazing! I did not have a worry in the world on my wedding day because everything was taken care of for me because of this amazing team. They also made it possible for my Mom and Mother in Law to enjoy themselves on my wedding day. Instead of having to rush around and get things in order, they too got to be treated like queens and were full taken care of by this amazing team! They even take care of the groom, the bridal parties and anything g else that may come up. They literally just help wherever they seem fit! For example, Colleen even held my baby nephew throughout all our pictures because he needed a nap. She cuddled him and rocked him to sleep. Then, during the reception, she let me use her personal lip stick because she just wanted me to feel pretty and touched up. These are just two examples of how they go above and beyond for their costumers, doing things that they aren’t even being paid for. I highly recommend everyone booking with this amazing team! My only regret is only booking them for the day of. I wish I would have hired them for the entire wedding planning process. I can’t thank this team enough and feel beyond blessed to have had them with me on my special day.

It truly was a pleasure working with Colleen and her event planning team. I have done a couple events with her and I cannot imagine doing a event without them! They took care of all the details both big and small which allowed me to be able to relax and enjoy my event. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone!

I was the sort of bride that had been dreaming up my wedding since I was a child. Once I was engaged, I had pretty much already planned out the sort of wedding that I wanted, but I knew I needed some help making it happen. I had booked with Fairy Godmother fairly early in the planning process. Among other things, they were so knowledgeable on all the great local vendors, and were able to help me find the right people for the job. I did most of the planning myself, but anytime I had a question, my Fairy Godmother Colleen was there to help me solve it. When it came time for the big day I felt so comfortable and confident with leaving all the plans I had made in the hands of my Fairy Godmother and her team, because they had been with me through the whole process. I did not have to deal with any issues on my wedding day (I found out later that there were some crazy ones lol), but was simply able to relax and enjoy the day in bliss because Fairy Godmother took care of it all!! Fairy Godmother seriously worked their wedding magic to make my every wish come true!!!

Colleen and her team made the entire experience from planning to the day of our wedding so personal, I feel honored to have had them make our wedding day everything we had dreamed of and more. They kept all the stress away by handling all the planning and working with my budget by referring us to vendors in a timely and orderly fashion. They thought of so many things that would have never crossed my mind and, as a result, allowed us to fully experience and enjoy our wedding day. They were punctual, encouraging, warm, friendly, thorough in logistics and our vendors loved working with them. They are very team oriented and our vendors even complimented us that they had never been to a wedding in which they felt so included. Colleen and her team set up a table for them during the reception, so that they also had a chance to enjoy the event. It was truly wonderful and lovely throughout the entire process. They were willing and able to work with our small budget and turned our special day into a stunning event. They are extremely capable and I highly recommend anyone to them whether it's a wedding or any other event. Their attention to detail and the overall vision is superb. In the end, we made friends who will be in our lives for years to come. Thank you Fairy Godmother, you made our day truly magical!!

10 year customer and still thrilled with her services! I’ve personally witnessed brides who rented the wedding venue I owned be THRILLED with Fairygodmother Wedding and Event Planning’s services. My day of coordinator for my own wedding was more than just a day of coordinator, she was more than thrilling...she was a lifesaver. She handled tough situations between the bartender and I, the delicate family situations we had with extended family, helped me to setup, pay the vendors, fed me, helped me with planning, kept the music flowing, and everyone having an amazing night. I owe Colleen and her team more than just a thank you!

My husband and I recently just got married October 5th 2019 and let me tell you it was a dream come true. But if it wasn’t for one person.... Brittnay Riley!!! Brit you were amazing in every way! Corey and I were so blessed for you to be apart of our BIG DAY! Thank you for being so caring, loving, understanding and a shoulder to cry on on our big day we couldn’t have done this wedding with out you. I didn’t just gain a fairy god mother I gained a friend an amazing friend thank you for all you did Brit we adore you in every way possible! I truly truly recommend all the fairy god mothers they are so beyond helpful and will go over and beyond to make your special day come true! Thank you all so much corey and I love our fairy god mothers ❤️❤️

Fairy Godmother is the absolute greatest. We had the honor and privilege of having Colleen and Sara as our fairies AKA our rock stars! Sara, the designer of our wedding, helped bring to life the wedding of my dreams. She is such an amazing artist and turned my basic ideas into masterpieces. She designed every aspect of our wedding perfectly and took every thought I had and made it into art. I am beyond grateful for her craft, skill, and talent! While Sara was the greatest designer I could have possibly met, my husband and I also had the opportunity to work with Colleen. Let me tell you: COLLEEN MADE OUR DAY PERFECT. She was so amazing in every aspect of the planning and day of. She timed our day our perfectly, kept all of our vendors informed, and had an answer for everything. If there was a minor inconvenience or issue, Colleen had already taken care of it before I even knew it was there in the first place! As a bride, I wanted to have the perfect wedding day. Because of Fairy Godmother, IT WAS!! If you want an amazing, seamless, and stress-free wedding, hire Fairy Godmother. I promise you won’t regret it! :)

I can't express enough the gratitude I have for Colleen and her team! From the start, they were very attentive and understanding. I was one of those bride who thought I could handle it all considering I am an event planner myself. Very long story short, three weeks before my wedding I decided to call The Fairy Godmother. Colleen managed to shuffle her staff around to ensure I was covered on for my wedding day. I found this to be a true blessing!!! My wedding was 350+ guest and she had me covered with out hesitation or limitations. On to the day of, it was truly magical, Denise Ferdinand and her team took care of me 110%!! Schedule was followed and no time went to waste. I am a very detailed person and was very specific as to how I wanted my dress to look at all times.. YEP.. they understood exactly what I was going for and made sure it happened the entire 9 hours they were with me! I could go on and on! I hope the above gives you a true understanding of how passionate, caring, and attentive they are. Thank you TFG! By you sharing your time and attention I was able to enjoy my BIG day!

My husband and I got married Feb 9, 2019 and it was the BEST DAY EVER!!!!!! We felt taken care of (and I know there were many details that were taken care of we don't even realize!). We were able to be much more cool, calm and collected the day of...and imagine this: we were even able to totally relish each moment knowing we were taken care of! Fairy Godmother allowed us to relax and be able to just enjoy the day. I can't imagine having gone through such a huge occasion without them: truly there were so many details to keep track of! Shoutout to Cassandra and Colleen for designing and creating the most special day for us, and for communicating so much the nine months that led up to the big day! We felt it to be the best day OF COURSE because we got to marry eachother...but it certainly didn't hurt that FG and vendors had put in so much hard work to make it a warm, inviting, gorgeous, detailed, customized to the "t", meaningful, unique, fun, and just the most special day! It was a dream to see all our ideas and visions of the day come alive, and FG made them even better. Even more rewarding was hearing from many guests how how welcome/taken care of they felt. It makes me SO happy that our guests felt honored and special on this momentous day. I repeatedly was also told how it was the most beautiful wedding many guests had been to, which was just so sweet and special to hear. Almost all vendors we booked were found by Fairy Godmother: each was simply phenomenal and the definition of professional. Fairy Godmother (not just "any" wedding planner) was the only way we were able to have the wedding and reception we were envisioning... We can only give the highest of recommendations. Truly no other wedding or event planners are as gifted or well-developed as a team, with the tastes and abilities they have. They are the best kept "Valley Secret"! We love you Fairy Godmother! Thank you!

Thank you so much for making my wedding day the most perfect day! You made our day as easy on everyone possible. Cassandra is a wonderful person to work with. Every one of our fairies were so sweet and helpful. We had so many compliments on how wonderful you all were. I am so thankful for everything you did for us. I highly recommend Fairy Godmother! They make life easy.

Wow, where do I begin? Colleen was AMAZING for this OCD, detail obsessed, corporate professional. From our first meeting at The Cottage, to the fully journey of my wedding, and the day of, she obsessed every single just like I did. We chose a residential property for our wedding which meant: blank slate! There is no way that we could've gotten through the organization, budgeting, vendor management, bridal party coordination, and overall personal sanity without her. Her warm and welcoming demeanor, true passion for what she does, and authentic LOVE for her brides are what set her apart. Only having met her a few months ago, I just know that she is someone that will be in my life for a long time. She not only took care of my wedding but she took care of ME. At times, she served as my therapist while also providing the utmost of professional attention to our large wedding. Whether in Bakersfield or elsewhere, I would absolutely recommend Fairy Godmother. In fact, I've asked her if she can move to Oregon to organize my life full time now, too. :)

Having the Fairy Godmother team plan and coordinate our baby shower was the best decision! This is a very special time in our lives, and we were able to fully enjoy our loved ones. We were blown away by the fairy godmothers' kindness and ability to take care of EVERYTHING. They really covered us well and it felt like having close friends there with us. They are absolutely wonderful! Thank you, Colleen and Marissa for being so intentional and loving us well throughout the planning process! You guys are standout!

As mother of the bride, I appreciate all that the Fairy Godmother team were able to accomplish for us with savvy, fun, calm professionalism. I love all the wonderful vendors they do business with. They made, what turned out to be an outstanding event, easy for us. I’ve come to feel like a part of their team and am going to miss them. When we arrived after pictures at the church, the party was in full swing at the reception and our guests were having a blast. The transition from reception to dinner was genius and I credit that to Colleen and her team. They wowed a tough crowd...all our good friends, but tough in that a good majority have traveled the world, ‘been around the block a time or two’ and are now raving over everything about our wedding and reception. Most importantly, my daughter the bride, with Colleen’s team at the helm was able to relax and enjoy every minute of one of the most important days of her life, her wedding day. We tip our hat to all of you at Fairy Godmother and associated vendors.

I just wanted to take a second and thank a very special person. Colleen Bauer, you were more than our Officiant, more than our Fairy Godmother, on our very special day. You are and will always be apart of our family. We are ever so grateful for you and Emma. You brought our wedding to life. We truly cannot thank you enough, for everything. If any of you are in need of assistance on your big day, look no further than Fairy Godmother Inc. a Wedding and Event Company. They are with you every step of the way. Thank you so much, Colleen.

This review is challenging to write because it is difficult to find the words to accurately express just how over the top amazing Colleen and the Fairy Godmother staff were! Each and every time we met with Colleen We had so much fun. She was extremely knowledgeable and experienced, uplifting and fun, and made us feel like we were her only concern. Colleen gave us ideas we had not yet considered and was patient while we navigated the mountain of choices and decisions that were to be made. The amount of work Colleen and Fairy Godmother put in before the day of the wedding was impressive. Our special day was made even more special because of our choice to have Fairy Godmother plan our wedding. To say that Colleen and her staff went above and beyond his an understatement. My husband and I will be forever thankful to Colleen and Fairy Godmother for their outstanding effort that made our special day what it was! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
