    Blue Fancy (BF), unfortunately, did not meet our expectations. I don't think it's necessary to go…read moreinto detail listing all of the things that went poorly, and I, of course, 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. Our budget was lower than what I'm guessing BF is typically used to working with (less than $60,000), so I'm not sure if that was a factor. We got married in Fond du Lac and most of BF's contacts/experience is in the Milwaukee area. We had a backyard wedding at our family members' homes (a small ceremony at one location and a larger reception at a second location) over a holiday weekend. We hired BF 1.5 years prior to our wedding date leaving plenty of time. 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 with setting up chairs, tables, a few decorations, etc. 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 our wedding. This was not their fault and they found a replacement within one 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! So happy we found him. -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.

Out of all of the money we spent on this wedding, the one thing that honestly was the most worth it was hiring Jan/Blue fancy as our full service planner. ..We were a covid wedding (8.8.20) that had to be postponed to this year (8.21.21h and Jan took SUCH good care of us (mostly me, who had questions and meltdowns frequently) through it all. She did all of the heavy lifting with the vendors, came with me to my rentals and florals appointment for support, texted and called me whenever I needed her for advice or a question, reminded us of payments and even scheduled appts for us with our vendors and decorated/helped clean up our wedding amazingly with her team day of! Jan was just a great person to have around during this past crazy year and a half and I'm so thankful to have had her as our planner. She made me feel so comfortable right from the start and I felt like she was a friend. If you're on the fence about getting a planner and you're in WI, hire blue fancy and ask for Jan!! You will not regret it! Thank you Jan!

    This review is multifaceted. I highly recommend hiring Amber...specifically Amber, for day…read morecoordination services. She was the coordinator for my oldest daughter's wedding day and was wonderful...but then couldn't help for my next wedding AFTER I already hired her. She sent someone in her place that I "assumed" would be comparable. The person she sent disappeared for a large part of the evening, for 8 hours I hired her and received next to nothing in return. Very nice lady.... But sat in the front lobby on her phone for hours, during dinner, and had to be messaged when needed. I did share this information with Amber who did apologize, but that was all I got...an apology and then zero response from my follow-up email. I paid $800 for desserts to be put out. for the ceremony, my daughter had to walk outside from one building to another...walking down a set of stairs to another set of stairs going up to the chapel... as she was going up the stairs with no help from the coordinator, her lace train began to tear. Not only did her dress tear, but she missed her entry into the chapel when her song began. Watching the bride, my daughter cry as she entered the chapel was very hard. I would expect some service recovery for the lack of service, but only got an apology.

    From the owner: My services are unique in that I help you plan the perfect day, allow you to select decor items…read morefrom my vast inventory, and me and my team put it all together and tear it all down at the end of the night. No need to hunt for expensive decor items..one cost snd no headache! And I’m there for the entire day to make sure things run smoothly allowing the couple and their families to just enjoy the day. I also can provide live florals for a fraction of the cost of a florist, saving you additional money and headache. Don’t need all of that? That’s ok, I can also provide day of coordinating where I use your items and execute your plans allowing you to focus on you!

    Jamie and her team are amazing. We used their services for our October wedding in Pepin, WI. First…read moreof all Jamie is so kind. She goes out of her way to make your night what you want. She thinks of everything and is a true professional while still being warm and natural in conversation. Calming to any bride. First we had about an hour long consult where we planned the day's events and timeline. We discussed the types of drinks we like and specialty cocktails. My favorite drink she made sure to make right with my favorite brand of ginger beer. She guided us on the quantities of liquor, wine and beer to purchase and was smart about her use so we actually were able to return some liquor to the store after the wedding. We bought canned & bottled beer in addition to the kegs, but Jamie wisely used the keys first before dipping into the extra beer so there was as little waste as possible. The prices are extremely reasonable. They are mobile, but if you get married at the hidden barn and meadow they have an amazingly beautiful rustic bar built custom for that venue. It's gorgeous. She made 3 specialty non alcoholic cocktails in addition to the alcoholic drinks, plus for a small per person fee covered all mixers, soda, ice and water per person. After the event Jamie took our kegs back to the liquor store and went above and beyond by then mailing us our keg deposit! I mean who does that? Would recommend a million times over! Excellent!

    Jamie and team set up my decorations, provided bar services, and cleaned up after the wedding. They…read morewere INCREDIBLE!!!! Jamie was always available for questions, and helped me every step of the way. Even my family and friends were commenting on how great they were! If you are looking for a company to bartender, setup, or cleanup, they are it! I highly recommend them!!!
