I used Adam Covington's services for my wedding. He provided me with gorgeously fresh and beautiful…read moreflowers. I made my own centerpieces (since it was Mario-themed), and he complimented them with great flowers. He delivered them well ahead of time and also was very professional with our "interesting" choice for our wedding. I think the only thing that was a bit difficult was that at times Adam can be hard to reach. Sometimes a week or so would go by and I wouldn't hear from him after I had sent a message with various questions. I won't dock his five stars though, considering he made up for it by being very professional when we did talk. I definitely recommend him for weddings.

Not only does he have an amazing eye and sense of style, he's one of the most energetic people I've ever met and won't stop until your wedding is impeccable. He's also hilarious, which makes it that much more fun to work with him. My husband and I purchased a lot of wedding decor ourselves and paid Adam and his team to set it up with other decor rented from him and I couldn't believe how he brought it all to life with his staging. He not only took the time to sit down and help me figure out how it was all going to come together more than once before the wedding, he still managed to surprise me and bring me to tears when I saw it. We also did our flowers with Adam - I had sent him a few images of flowers I liked and he managed to strike the perfect balance between all the different photos to give me the most amazing bouquets ever. I couldn't have imagined anything more perfect. I've honestly looked at photos of them every day since our wedding almost three months ago. I can't say enough good things about Adam - he's beyond talented, hard-working, genuine and you get such an amazing product for the price. Work with him if you have the chance!

Ehrler Ranch is such an amazing place to have a wedding. My husband and I got married there on…read more3/23/19 and couldn't have asked for a better night. Pam was amazing and was there through it all. Anytime my nerves would get the best of me leading up to the day, she was there to calm me down. She took care of everything. If I could give the ranch 10 stars I would. The transition from the ceremony to the reception was flawless and there wasn't one hiccup. I highly recommend Ehrler Ranch and I am looking forward to the lasting friendships that have been made throughout the time of our wedding planning.

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!

I can't count how many compliments I received about the amazing atmosphere Lisa created for my 50th birthday. I came to her with three random ideas--Sally O'Malley, Miss Hannigan, and kitty cats--and she turned them into a playful, immersive wonderland. Guests walked the red carpet through velvet ropes like it was a NYC premiere, surrounded by pure joy. Every detail was spot-on: Miss Hannigan tending bar, kitty cats peeking around corners, and Sally O'Malley touches everywhere. Lisa even surprised me with Annie wigs, a camel, and the crowd favorite: glowing hula hoops. Every nook and cranny became a picture-perfect moment. She delivered everything exactly within my original quote, and her professionalism, creativity, and warmth made the whole process fun and stress-free. I'd hire her again in a heartbeat--even from 1,000 miles away. I nside Décor is pure magic.

The options you have to choose from are endless and if Lisa and Jenny do not have it, they will get it for you but I doubt there is much they don't have on hand! When we met to go over decorations they had several options and were able to use those as a jumping point to add on or change from there. We didn't have a photo booth rented but they created one for us with a couch, and balloon arch with it. Perfection! While there I also found out that they do rentals on flowers! They had some bouquets out and we fell in love, they were perfect for our wedding!!! They decorated for my shower and my wedding/reception. 20 out of 10, I cannot recommend them enough! Call. Book. Enjoy.
