I had already left a 5 star review for my fairy Sara for everything she did for us pre- postponement. She was amazing and she helped us find a new date ALL our vendors could move to less than 24 hours after our original venue cancelled on us. She went out on maternity leave right after our original date and we were then assigned to Callie. I can't imagine being assigned to an already planned wedding after a postponement, mid-pandemic with a couple you've never met. But Callie did an awesome job catching up on who we were as a couple, our vision and what we did and didn't want. Since our new venue still hadn't opened back up 6 weeks before our new date, we decided to change venues again to our friends' home to ensure we could still have our wedding this time around. That meant re-planning most of the wedding in a few short weeks- and a lot more vendor inquiries and visits for Callie and I. It was a stressful last couple weeks, and an almost hiccup, but Callie and Colleen made sure everything was settled and perfect. Fast forward to our wedding day- it was absolutely perfect and there is nothing I would change. I spent the morning relaxing and getting ready with my girls with not a care in the world because I knew Callie was there to keep us all on track ( and Anne with the guys). Thank you Sara, Callie, Anne and Colleen and all our vendors for making our wedding day so perfect and stress free!!!

Another successful even organized by Cassandra, everything was perfect, the decor, the food the service. The yard was returned to its original state before they all left. Was a wonderful way to throw a dinner meeting. Thanks again for making us look so good!!!!

I was initially going to wait until my three year wedding anniversary to write this review just to prove to you not only are they incredible event coordinators but they bring great luck to marriages. However, I'm currently reminiscing on my Magical Day and came across some incredible pictures of my Fairy Godmother(s) and I just couldn't help but share this review. When I came across their table at a wedding Expo my first impression was wow these ladies are full of happiness, and great energy. I left wanting to book them immediately. So I called them and made an appointment. I have to admit things were rocky at the beginning, but Colleen immediately handled my issue and matched me with Cassandra. I can write a novel about how amazing Cassandra as my Fairy Godmother but I wont. I will tell you she is amazing at recommending great wedding vendors that will fit your budget. Aside from meeting with me often she had my special day planned out to a T. The day of she met me at the Salon where I was getting my make-up and hair styled and was hard at work ensuring everything ran smoothly. I also had two other wonderful fairies on the day of, Pam and Leticia. while Cassandra focused entirely on me, Pam and Leticia focused on every detail at our venue. Cassandra, Pam and Leticia made sure to coordinated with the catering company, the DJ, the mariachi, the Pastor officiating our wedding (my precious Father-in-Law), and ensured any family members involved in our wedding knew their role and timing. My special day was truly Magical. I was treated like a princess that day. When i was thirsty and cup of water would magically appear, when i was tired of my heels my sandals would magically appear, if I needed a make-up touch up Cassandra was on it. I don't recall anything going wrong at my wedding, and if it did it must have been handled behind scenes because I was never stressed out. My only focus was to marry the man of my dreams and have a happy filled day and I know that was all made possible thanks to this amazing group of women from fairy Godmother who worked tirelessly to give me the best day of my life. To this day we still have people tell us that our wedding was their favorite wedding. Every penny spent was entirely worth it. I can tell you hiring Fairy Godmother is an investment. They will save you so much unwanted stress, they will treat you like you're the queen/king of your event. They will ensure your party is one many will remember for years to come. Don't think twice and stop wasting time looking elsewhere.

We love you Colleen and team!

Colleen, Sara, and the entire team that assisted during our wedding... We love you all! When I walked into the cottage and met with Colleen I had no clue what to expect. I was unsure of how our wedding day would turn out. Not only did I feel like a VIP during the wedding day, I always remember the words and things Colleen told me that day. When my husband was having a moment, she stepped in and gave advice. When I was looking frazzled and frantic, Colleen shared words of wisdom. It felt like a dream and she was guiding me through it all. All the time and dedication to the wedding was worth it and Colleen as well as Sara made the vision and dream we had come to life. The day after our wedding it felt like I had broken up with my best friend, as Colleen would no longer be on speed dial to call with every concern or comment about the wedding. It saddened me to know she wouldn't be the first person to contact as I had a mini panic attack about the wedding. The wedding is done and the perfect day is complete... Colleen, you made it all possible. Sara, you dealt with my crazy. Both of you ladies made our dream a reality and I cannot thank you enough. Even writing this I cannot believe how close we got and how important you become to Sal and I. We love you and all the team at Fairy Godmother for making our day the best day ever. If anyone reading this is hesitant or unsure of a wedding planner, please DO IT. Do not hesitate and go for it, as these ladies will deliver the promise of being the best assistance to your day. They truly are, as Colleen has been for me, a fairy godmother.

My husband and I were so pleased with the fairyGodmothers! My baby shower was unbelievably beautiful! It was everything I imagine to be. Cassandra was awesome!! Thank you ladies so much!!!

I had 8 months to plan my wedding so I knew I would need a coordinator, I was assigned to Sara & from the very beginning she was always prompt. Numerous calls & texts throughout the whole process & she ALWAYS got back to me within minutes. Fast forward to the day of my wedding, Sara was truly amazing. I could sit here & write an essay on how perfect she was. Never in my life have I felt so special. I wish that I could go back to that day just so I could relive those moments with her. She made me feel like a celebrity. If I was thirsty she had a water or some kind of beverage in front of me within seconds. If I needed to reapply lipstick she had it on her reapplying it for me. (Funny story) I needed bug spray because there were mosquitoes & I thought "that's impossible who would think to bring bug spray" & within a minute she was spraying me with bug repellent. Nothing went wrong the day of & if it did I had no idea because her main priority was to make ME happy. & she did just that. At the end of the night when she gave me a hug & told me she was leaving I felt like I had to say bye to a friend. The whole experience was truly one I will never forget & Sara is the one who I need to thank for that. Both my husband & I give her all the credit for making our wedding the one of our dreams. In fact, I didn't even dream of it being so perfect but Sara made it an event that people will never forget. Sara is truly the best & if you have a choice on who you can choose for your fairy, please pick her!

See all

I was instantly pulled in by her personable (non robotic) emails and communication skills. She's so easy to get along with and was so helpful. I love that she understood my vision and her joy for weddings is refreshing. Even though I hired her for just the day of, she always communicated with me and remained updated with all the wedding details. I knew I could always trust her and knew she understood my vision.

Aileen would spend many late nights answering my concerns or making exceptional recommendations to bring my visions of my wedding day to life. When I walked into the reception area for the first time at the Villa Verano Estate, I had tears in my eyes and I was literally speechless. From the flowers to the lighting to the table cloths and all the rentals, our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more. A special thanks to her team on the actual wedding day because they were absolutely amazing and it went off seamlessly. Her and her team were by my side the entire wedding day constantly assuring me that everything was on track and going as planned, which I didn't particularly see but appreciated so much because I wasn't bothered with one thing. Aileen and her team anticipated what I needed before I even knew that I needed anything. We owe so much of our beautiful wedding day to Aileen! We couldn't have asked for a better coordinator in all parts of the process. She went above and beyond all of the responsibilities in the contract, and you can tell she really loves what she does. Early on in the process, we had already planned some of the wedding ourselves but we didn't have a very cohesive idea for the design side of our wedding. Aileen took the photos we'd saved of things we liked and our thoughts on what atmosphere we were going for and she created a digital design board for us. Her design board included our color palette, layout ideas, and design ideas for every aspect of our wedding from start to finish. It brought all of our ideas together with new ones into one cohesive, beautiful vision. If I could do one thing different it would be that I had found her sooner in the planning process. Thank you again Aileen for taking my childhood fairy tale and making it a reality. -Ashley H.

We worked with Shannon for almost a year planning the big day and finally this past weekend it was wedding day! Shannon and her team completely knocked it out of the park!

I will most definitely use her for my other children's weddings and events. I read the other review on here about her being pricey, but I say you get what you pay for.

My intentions for this post are to help other brides learn from my experience. Since this vendor does not allow reviews on her Facebook page and another bride told me her yelp review was somehow removed... I'm going to go ahead and write my review here with hesitation. Our (my fiancé and I) had an amazing first meeting with Shannon Lee-Hough (shannon Hough Events). We were very impressed with her ability to just pick up the phone and call vendors when she found out we needed a DJ for our wedding. We ended up hiring her and put a deposit of $2250. We were looking forward to having less stress with this planning process. Well, she gave us two quotes over the next couple days which were both $5k or more for deejay services. We thought that was quite high and even joked that possibly she was marking the prices up. Then I went to her about cake tastings and invitations. While she was pressuring me to use her for floral services by telling me that she had another bride interested. She set up a cake tasting for us. I thought she was setting up two, but she only set up one and had the baker dropped the cakes off at our house. (She blamed this on me.) I had told her I don't know what I need to do and I wanted to be treated as a 5 year old because I want my hand to be held, but she still thought it was necessary to ask if I just wanted the cakes dropped off. I said dropping off is fine. I was currently stressed about her doing florals for another wedding. My wedding was at 11 am. How could she possibly do floral for another wedding? The cakes were dropped off at a different time than she told us and we were at another appointment. (Invitations, again another vendor we found on our own and made our own appointment). She's texting us asking why we aren't there? Uhm, because they aren't supposed to be there for another two hours. When I asked about invitations she literally sent me contact info for two invitation vendors for me to contact on my own. That's frustrating, but okay. So I get in contact with them but I'm annoyed by the questionnaire. Can I just see some samples? We decide to just walk in to a local vendors to see what they had. They were the sweetest mother and daughter and were just extremely helpful! I saved the best for last!!! Floral... I set up a meeting with her and she did a beautiful mockup. Just gorgeous! We were excited to have our wedding planner and florist all in one. One less vendor to have to find! A couple of days after our appointment Shannon sent us a PayPal request for $5,500 for our floral deposit. That seemed quite high so we asked her for an estimate on our floral and she said she couldn't give us one because we didn't know all the details yet and she wanted to do another mockup for $300. Wait... what? So again, I request an estimate. The response was $18,000 + so I talk to a friend of mine and they were shocked too. She doesn't have a store front and all the overhead that comes with that and they told me I needed to ask for a breakdown. They were actually shocked that she didn't send one. Well, being that our big centerpieces were almost $800. Shannon sent another PayPal request for $4,000. (She was lowering her deposit amount) I got a gut feeling. Something I couldn't explain. we decided to tell shannon to go ahead and let the other bride know she's available to do their wedding. This was stressing me out. We finally went to shannon and expressed our concerns. I was feeling like my wedding planner was more concerned with getting hired for floral design than actually planning my wedding and relieving stress. To our surprise, she offered a refund. We sat down that weekend and thought: we don't have a wedding planner, we don't have florals, we haven't decided on inviatations. We are more stressed now then before we hired her. It's probably best for us to take that refund, move our date, and move forward from there. We expressed this to her over text (that's her preferred communication method) she tried to call me but my tonsil was swollen and it was difficult to talk. Monday morning she sent us a text letting us know she will not be refunding us. WHAT?! She proceeded to tell us why we should be happy with her. No matter what I said she argued with it. Finally, I told her that if she wasn't going to give us our money back then she needed to call our vendors that we had already called and set everything back up. I don't Think she was expecting that. I think she thought she was just going to walk away with $2250. Things got really ugly from there. I'm sure she can say plenty of bad things about us, but she's supposed to be a professional and she certainly DOES NOT behave that way. There are many other things I could say, but my energy is gone. I can't put any more into this person.

At this point Linda tells us she needs 30-45 more minutes. We called it quits, ordered pizza and told her to stop cooking as we can't keep our guests hungry which we did. She was also suppose to make a cake which was not even started at that point. Only about 30% of our food was actually served and we told her since that happened we want back 20% of the 50% deposit. She states we made her stop cooking because she could've made all the food, by which all of our gusts would've been gone. She made excuse after excuse instead of taking proper accountability, completely ruined our farewell brunch for our friends and family who came from out of the country to come to our wedding. She refused to give us back any money for only serving us 30% of the food, would not recommend and I will personally ensure she does not ruin anyone else's event
