As a wedding and event photographer, I can tell you that having Colleen there on your wedding day will be one of the best decisions you make. She is detailed, thoughtful, respectful, helpful, has zero ego, is so kind, and her goal is always to work together as a team with the wedding professional team before and leading up to the wedding and throughout the wedding day. Anything I need her to do to help keep the day running smoothly, she does without a second thought. Working together is a dream and we always love when our clients choose FGM. She is a problem-solver and carries herself in a way that she elevates everyone with her. She is classy and sweet, and is one of the best investments you will make; from designing and planning, to event production - she does it all, and is the best of the best.

We later heard that Fairy Godmother Events receives kickbacks from certain businesses, If true, it's shameful. I'd have rather paid more and supported a local business. Terrible experience and cannot recommend.

When I think of a local business I'm most thankful for, the list is rather lengthy. But one…read morebusiness that deserves all the gratitude in the world, especially with this last year being so difficult, is Simply Chic Events. It all started with a cold call requesting Santa for an event. Yes, folks - Irma has the power to summon the big jolly man himself. This Santa was 100% the real deal and even made an appearance with Mrs. Claus! To see adults enjoy the spirit of Christmas like that was an absolute treasure. I knew Irma was my 'event-planner for life' when I hired her to help with a company holiday party a few years ago. Between multiple reschedules and last minute changes she remained kind as ever. What she managed to pull off in such a short time was a magnificent wonderland of a party. The details were nothing short of magical. I'm so thankful for Irma and her crew of superheroes. Her passion for event planning and helping people is why I'll continue to support her business. And also because I can be confident my event will be perfect.

Aileen and her team were amazing! Living out of state during the first few months of wedding…read moreplanning was tough; but Aileen's help and professionalism made it all so much less stressful. 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 and her team handled everything seamlessly on the day of the wedding. They were all very nice and professional and a joy to work with. Aileen makes sure that her brides are always happy! Hiring Blu Events was definitely one of the best purchases we made!!

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.

I was only a guest for a wedding, so i can only speak from the outside..but here is my opinion…read more Beautiful!!! Everything was very nice. The grounds were perfectly manicured, and the staff seemed to be very helpful. I recently was married, so seeing our friends get married a couple months later made us naturally more in-tune to much of what was going on. The outdoor setting was perfect with a nice little stream, fountains, and a place for the bridal party to be set apart. inside was very rustic. Our friends had a more formal wedding, but it still worked very well. I dont think a wedding over the size of about 80-90 will work here, but for that size its great. Only down side is you have to drive on a very rocky dirt road for 1.7 miles to get here...but if you know that ahead of time and dont bring the sports car its no big deal.

The area is open with lots of space to hold an event. We used the main floor for our tables, the elevated area for our photo props and the dirt/gravel area for our food caterer to set up.

The owner is amazing and always answered my questions in a timely manner. Love this place!

We received dozens of compliments from our guests. Our photographer got hundreds of amazing photos thanks to the beautiful landscape and carefully laid out decor. We booked a year in advance and the process was so simple leading up to our wedding. The owners were fantastic to work with. Extremely kind, helpful and communicative to make planning a breeze. I was also stunned that the price was so affordable compared to every other wedding venue I looked at. I would highly recommend booking for an event here asap. I can almost guarantee that in a year from now, it will be impossible to get into! Thank you Younger Gardens for giving us the perfect place to hold the most important day in our lives that we'll never forget!

If I'm correct, and there weren't any issues, it is because Jessie is THAT good at her job! I cannot say enough amazing things about her. Truly, this tiny little space is nowhere near enough room for all the incredible ways that Jessie made my wedding perfect!! She far exceeded our expectations. We hired Jessie as our day of coordinator, but her help begun well before our wedding day. Anytime I needed advice, had a question or needed recommendations she was readily available to walk me through it! We had initially hired another planner and had an awful experience. We ended up firing her and hiring Jessie and I am SO glad that we did. Jessie did way more work as a day of planner than our "full service" planner did. Any issues that came up before the wedding, Jessie was able to solve for us. The day before our wedding one of our vendors called her saying that they forgot to bring our sweetheart table. When Jessie broke the news to me, she was calm and offered a couple of different solutions. The company we ended up getting our table from had mentioned that the table was not available for rent, but they made an exception because of Jessie. That is how well known and respected she is in this industry. Every little detail was perfect. She did an incredible job setting up our decor and coordinating all of our vendors. The rehearsal dinner was smooth, quick and to the point. She somehow managed to keep our entire bridal party + families in line (we had a bridal party of 25). She even made sure that my husband and I were able to eat at the ceremony by literally standing guard and blocking people from bothering us! It has been almost 3 months since our wedding and to this day, my family and friends still rave about Jessie. They all say how incredible she was. She was on top of it, organized & fun. I can't thank her enough for all the hard work and effort she put into our special day! Jessie, I'm just gonna get married every day so I can hang out with you ALL the time!!!

Thank you so much Jessie!!
