Fairy Godmothers || Weddings & Events

At first I didn't think I needed any help- I am so thankful I made the call to Dawn- She and her assistant Ashley helped me pull it all together. My husband and I actually got to be guests at our own wedding! We could never have been able to relax and enjoy our special day without their help. Your Own Fairy Godmother helped with every detail, they served as point of contact for all vendors, confirmed arrival times, problem solved issues and communicated with everyone from vendor to resort to chaplain to family. They assisted in locating family members, kept us on our timeline, calmed nerves, made sure we ate and even held my purse all evening! They made sure every "i" was dotted and every "t" crossed all the way through to our departure from the reception. Hiring Your Own Fairy Godmother for a sprinkling of "Fairy Dust" was the absolute BEST purchase I made. I truly thought I had it all under control before I made the phone call to Your Own Fairy Godmother. Dawn shared her service packages with me, asked questions, shared experiences, recommendations, vendor names, she formulated a master vendor list, contacted each vendor 2 weeks out to confirm and communicate timelines, She oversaw sound checks, seating placement, photographer arrival, "first look" photo session...the list goes on.... Dawn had ALL the answers and anticipated every detail of the evening - without her help it would have been chaotic and stressful. Their service was worth every dime and I would highly, highly recommend Your Own Fairy Godmother. Thank you Dawn and Ashley!

Hiring the Fairy Godmothers was one of the best decisions I made in planning our wedding. They were so accomodating and helpful in planning our long-distance wedding, we could not have done it without them. They recommended so many amazing vendors and knew all of the answers to my questions. They were so great about answering every one of the thousands of emails we sent. We got the biggest package that included having Dawn work on our wedding, and let me tell you, it was worth every cent! If you're on the fence about having a planner (which we completely were!), trust me, it's worth it, just do it, and make sure you book the Fairy Godmothers!

Dawn and her team are a delight! They are experts, thinking of every detail, taking the stress away from us and helping make the wedding planning fun!

The Fairy God Mother, Dawn, and her team made my wedding day a truly magical experience. I can honestly say I never worried about a thing while they were in charge. From the groomsmens' bow ties to the cake cutting they covered all the details flawlessly. Thank you again, Dawn and Skylar!

Everything went beautifully!!! Dawn and her crew were professional from beginning to end. I was, also, able to talk to Dawn about different matters throughout the planning process whenever I needed to which was important to me!! The actual wedding was fabulous and everything was timed perfectly!! It was a magical weekend thanks to the Fairy Godmothers!!!

Dawn and her team at Your Very Own Fairy Godmother were truly amazing and an essential part of making our wedding day the best it could be. Knowing that she and her team were there allowed me to be stress free the day of the wedding and actually get to enjoy every aspect of the day, which was priceless. I cannot recommend her enough!

We loved working with them!They had creative, fun ideas for the design of the event and took care of so many details, both big and small, which made the planning process much easier. The night of our wedding,they took care of absolutely everything. It was beautiful and very nearly perfect.Thanks for everything!

Your Very Own Fairy Godmother was excellent. Dawn truly kept me sane throughout the whole process, but especially in the weeks and days leading up to the wedding. My friends were impressed that I could be so calm and collected, I owe it all to her and her team! My guests were also surprised that I had a team of professional event planners at the ceremony and reception, no one noticed them at all. They made sure that my groom and I had everything we needed so that we could enjoy the night with our friends and family. Truly wonderful.

Unbelievable, definitely critical aspect of planning that helped make the event magical. The idea of not using them would have completely changed the weekend. They were very proactice team with clear insight and industry knowledge. They were unobtrusive and yet very impactful in their capabilities. Plus, the whole team was so nice and charming...

I have had the pleasure of calling Dawn a long time friend and recently the honor of having her be my wedding coordinator. When I got engaged Dawn was the first person I called because I knew as a wedding coordinator I was going to get my money's worth, and then some. I was absolutely correct in my assumption! Dawn was so wonderful throughout the whole process of my wedding planning. She is very organized and thorough. She called me on numerous occasions when things arose and she needed my opinion. Considering I was planning a long distance wedding, this was what I needed. She is professional, dependable, hard working and most of all creative. She helped me come up some good ways to save money. She totally understood our vision and helped make it come to life. Her attention to details made all the difference to our wedding. Dawn has the most amazing ability to forsee problems and make sure they don't occur and if they do she has an uncanny knack in the ability to fix them in a very professional manner. To date, my wedding was the best day of my life and I have Dawn to thank.

Jenn Goodner was fantastic to work with. Her bubbly personality and knowledge of the industry made me have the best time planning my wedding with her. She is awesome.

Went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of. Worth every penny!

We live in Texas and our wedding was in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. I honestly don't know what we would have done without Kelly (coordinator) and Martha (assistant coordinator and officiant). The sense of urgency (or lack thereof) in Mexico is not what you would expect of vendors in the states. We are so lucky to have had both of them "representing" us throughout the entire planning process. I was able to put EVERYTHING in their hands and let them work their magic! I learned quickly that being able to let go for your wedding day is truly essential. They made the entire thing seamless. Their vendor recommendations couldn't have been more spot on for our needs, budget, and style!Three weeks before our wedding (and two weeks after the deadline) I received notification that our ceremony site had not gotten our payment. We wired payment in full two months before the deadline (almost three full months prior to this notification). I immediately contacted my bank who, in turn, contacted the bank in Mexico the same day. I was told that the bank in Mexico had up to five weeks to respond as to whether or not they'd actually received the wire transaction. You can imagine my frustration. I was in the fast lane to panic mode, naturally. Your Very Own Fairy Godmother assured me that I had nothing to worry about- "this is what Fairy Godmothers are for!" So as hard as it was at that point to let it go, I did. They contacted the ceremony site coordinator and had things ironed out in plenty of time. Kelly even transported copies of all of the paperwork to Mexico for me, just in case. WHEW! Kelly kept the ceremony on track, making sure everyone knew where they needed to be WHEN they needed to be there! She coordinated transportation for all twenty five of us to and from the resort and ceremony site. She talked the jitters out of both of us the night of rehearsal dinner and made sure we had everything we needed at all times. Kelly was so much fun and did an amazing job.My new husband and I grew close to Martha during the wedding planning process, and chose her to be our officiant in Cabo! She did such a beautiful job. She was able to incorporate our Mexican theme by reciting a prayer in English AND Spanish! Martha was perfect for us.Most importantly, at the end of the evening, my husband and I were able to look at eachother and honestly say that our wedding was absolutely perfect. Your Very Own Fairy Godmother created THE perfect destination wedding- and that wedding was ours.

We were looking for a wedding planner who had a sense of humor, was easy to work with, professional and would let us work on the planning too. Dawn at Your Very Own Fairy Godmother fit the bill. Dawn was quick to respond when we either called or emailed. She was very helpful with all areas of our wedding planning from helping with the linens and fabric backdrops to finding the perfect photographer and DJ. I would highly recomend Your Very Own Fairy Godmother to anyone looking for a good wedding planner.

I was very, very happy with the fairy godmothers! My wedding was an absolute success, and if there were any problems—I was not aware of them. They are very professional (not just women who love weddings and want to talk about colors and flowers and things). They are young and stylish and have lots of good ideas, so they can talk about flowers and colors if that's what you want. But they do much more than just be your wedding buddy—they are professionals. They were always very prompt about returning my emails and phone calls. Organization is key when it comes to wedding planning, and they of course were very organized and handled all my instructions well. They also organized and coordinated my vendors for me, which is huge when everything is crazy in the few days before the wedding. During the wedding, they were behind the scenes but they were keeping everything organized, beautiful, and on time. They are great about doing their jobs, but staying behind the scenes as well. I would highly recommend them to anyone out there looking for extra help planning their wedding.

Best money spent on the wedding! I knew right away when we got engaged that our first item on the agenda was booking Your Very Own Fairy Godmother. Dawn Earley is professional yet very personable and her assistants were great. She went out of her way during the planning stages and was always available to answer questions. With Dawn and her team there on the day of, I never had to worry about a thing. We truly felt like guests at our own wedding! The week I got back from the honeymoon I already had 2 emails from guests wanting to know who my coordinator was so they can look into booking her for their own weddings.

Hiring Your Very Own Fairy Godmother was the best decision my husband and I made! Not only was our wedding day fantastic, but the entire planning process went smooth as well. Dawn was there for the entire process. She returned phone calls and e-mails in a timely manner. Plus, she was able to express our vision to our other vendors. What I had in my head became a reality. She guided us through the entire planning period. The wedding went off without a glitch. I know that I could not have done this without Dawn!!

Kelly with YVOFG was invaluable! She put everything together in such a short time and truly made my life easier. The entire Fairy Godmother team was a blessing and I don't think I could have pulled off a wedding in 6 weeks if it hadn't been for them!

After choosing each other (of course), choosing Your Very Own Fairy Godmother's Dawn as our wedding coordinator, was probably the biggest and best decision I made.Dawn has amazing taste, and her personal touches were really the key to creating our memorable wedding. Dawn not only gave us advice, guidelines, etiquette and budget recommendations, she really listened to the style and feel of our dream wedding. Dawn and her staff worked their magic at our outdoor venue at The Woodlands Golf Resort. From ensuring vendors showed up on time, to having every little detail in place, to keeping a rowdy wedding party on task, Dawn was the ultimate professional. She was invaluable!!! It was comforting to know that she was right there, and I had nothing to worry about!My advice to brides-to-be is this: enlist Your Very Own Fairy Godmothers help as soon as you set the date! Dawn and her staff will enable you to enjoy the planning and truly celebrate your special day.

Martha Perez from Your Very Own Fairy Godmother was our wedding planner. She did an exceptional job, we could not have been happier with how everything turned out. Martha did not forget anything, there were some wedding details that we would have forgotten if it weren't for her.We HIGHLY RECOMMEND You Very Own Fairy Godmother!!Our wedding was PERFECT!Thank you soooo much :)Claire & Jeff Pursley

Dawn was our wedding coordinator for our June 9, 2007 wedding in Austin, Texas. I met with Dawn initially about a year before our wedding and she was instrumental in helping pull together the wedding of our dreams at a venue that had never before been used for a wedding or event of this nature. Dawn met with us on multiple occasions to go over the wedding plans, including the change in initial reception venue. Planning a wedding can be extremely overwhelming, especially when you do not have a clearly defined idea in your head about what your “dream wedding” is, as I think most brides do. However, Dawn helped me narrow down the thousands of possibilities to get just want we wanted. Throughout the planning process, she was very helpful in recommending vendors and negotiations with my vendor of choice. She was extremely responsive via phone and email and I knew that I could always come to her with any questions that I may be unsure of, no matter how little they were.Ultimately, Dawn and her team were worth their weight in gold on the day of the wedding. Everything ran seamlessly, at least to my knowledge. Dawn and her team kept everything in order- flowers falling off boutonnières from the humidity, issues with jewelry, etc. The ceremony started on time and everyone was properly seated, etc. Afterwards, they kept the wedding party hidden until the church was cleared out and proceeded to quickly clean up hundred of rose petals, pew flowers, etc. as the pictures where taken, and still managed to beat us to the reception where she was waiting for our arrival. Our entrance to the reception was perfectly coordinated, giving my new husband and I just enough private time together before entering. Throughout the reception she was keeping track of Todd and I and our every need. When we went downstairs to take pictures in front of the capitol, she even had a glass of champagne rushed out to me! And we absolutely loved the DJ that she recommended after we told her the style of music that we liked, he kept the party going until the last second. Dawn and her team were on their toes keeping everything on schedule throughout the reception, and leaving us enough choice to forego the bouquet and garter toss because everyone was having too much fun dancing.By far, the best thing that Dawn did during her role as our wedding coordinator was to keep me worry-free on our big day. That was no easy task in retrospect, given that our cake barely arrived on time and she and her team had to help put it together and redo the icing on it. Not until 2 days after the wedding did I find out that there were serious communication issues with the baker, the cake was late to arrive, and most of the cake was not fully cooked. Even after the wedding, Dawn helped me put together letters from her staff and multiple vendors to make a case against the baker in order to dispute the credit card charge. Not only that, Dawn went to great lengths to contact the baker herself to resolve the issue while we were on our honeymoon. When they were unresponsive, Dawn actually contacted my credit card company directly to speak to them about the events of the charge which we were disputing.She went above and beyond her duties as a wedding coordinator and I would highly recommend her.

Dawn and her staff were impecable on our big day. Dawn responded to every email, question and teary phone call. She assisted in providing us with the perfect day. A must for any budget big or small, MY own fairy godmother was a dream come true.

Hiring Your Very Own Fairy Godmother was the best decision that we made with regards to wedding plans! Dawn, our coordinator, seems to have an endless amount of knowledge and ideas about how to make our wedding lovely and ours. Having a team to handle the nitty-gritty details of our wedding and reception was worth the money that we spent (and even more) as we were able to enjoy our day with the assurance that everything would be taken care of.

This is a company which produces beautiful events and we have been privileged to work with them. Their competence, professionalism and sincerity shine through all the work they do.

You will love them! Professionals! Relax and enjoy!

Dawn and her team are great. Super easy to work with, always looking out for their happy couples, and are all over the place on wedding day. They make sure every detail is covered to ensure that your dream wedding is what you get, and let you sit back and relax so you can actually enjoy it. They are so professional but still know how to have fun and make wedding planning fun for you. Its a great team of girls and they will make your dreams come true.

Every girl needs a Fairy Godmother, event coordinators are so important and Dawn can make your event so smooth with every detail taken care of. An event coordinator also makes me look better than I am. Especially one like Dawn.

I was fortunate enough to work with Kelly from YVOFG. Needless to say she did not disappoint! I absolutely loved working with her and am anxious for my next even with the Godmothers! Its such a pleasure to work with a professional wedding coordinator and the Fairy Godmothers have the experience and know how to make a wedding the best it can be! Dawn and her team Rule!

Having "The" Planner (Dawn) in your corner is a very positive move to make ... "Your Very Own Fairy Godmother" will give you "Peace of Mind" that is definately "Priceless" !!! ... I highly recommend Dawn and her team of professionals ...Regards,"Long Ashes"Frank PaulCigar Roller Events

Dawn and the rest of the team at Your Very Own Fairy Godmother are a pleasure to work with.They are intensely organized, prepared for anything, and always super friendly.I look forward to working with them again and again!

Dawn and her girls do a great job. I have found all of them to be very professional, but at the same time down to earth. I love working with their clients and would have no problem referring clients, friends or people I meet who need that extra help and special touch for any kind of wedding.
