You fixed our wrong colored bow tie situation in a metter of minutes and had the entire venue set up in every way we could have imagined!

She made my day so absolutely amazing and make me feel so supported thorugh the whole process. People couldn’t believe we pulled off a wedding that nice on Lopez Island.” - Laura Sietz, 2021 Bride

“Carissa, Thank you for making our dreams come true. You somehow knew (from the very beginning!!!) exactly what we wanted and you made it happen better than we could have ever expected. I don’t know how you did it! Especially considering how many times I changed my mind…From helping find our venue, photographer, catering, every other vendor in between, all of our decor, keeping us on track, giving us visuals, doing all the hard work and research, you were the SOLE REASON our wedding went off without a hitch. Everything was perfect and there aren’t enough words in the world to say thank you. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much. We love you to the moon and back and I wouldn’t have wanted to go through all that with anyone else by our sides!! We’re so lucky to not only call you our friend, but also our family. If you’re looking for a wedding planner, choose Carissa. You will not be disappointed.” - The Pragnell’s, 2019 Couple

“As the mother of the bride and disabled, this young lady left nothing for me to worry about!” - Tammy Schunzel, 2017 MOB

“Wow! I couldn’t have had a better experience preparing for our wedding. With only 2 months to plan, my fairy godmother made all my dreams come true…without the nightmare! I had 0 stress or worries on my wedding day, because Carissa took care of everything. She created a checklist of things that needed to be sone, so that planning and preparing wasn’t stressful. She worked hard to make sure we were on top of everything so that our day was everything we imagined and more. Carissa knew about all the questions I didn’t even think about asking when deciding on venues, decor, ceremony, menu, and more! She even worked on ALL our floral arrangements and bouquets with us, and there were perfect! Carissa went above and beyond to fit our budget and time frame. I couldn’t have done it without her or her services. I would recommend anyone and everyone to work with her to make your special day a happy experience (even through planning). My family is still raving about how amazing everything looked and how well she did.” - Emily Shearman, 2016 Bride

“This wonderful amazing lady is beyond any doubt the best wedding planner i’ve seen. She worked so hard to make sure Keilani and Ryan had the wedding of their fdreams. It was so organized and just amazing. It’s hard when you’re used to being in charge and the planner to let go, but so glad we did and that we had her. her hard work and dedication is unsurpassed by anyone. I know Keilani and Ryan’s day was even better than they dreamed. If you’re looking for a wedding planner, please give The Fairy Godmother a call. You won’t be disappointed.” - Cheryl Jensen, 2019 GOB

“Thank you so much The Fairy Godmother. You’re one of the most amazing wedding planners I have ever met!” - Anne Magadia, 2018 HMUA

“I am not the typical bride I would say. The only thing I really ever dreamed of was my dress. My husband and I really just wanted something small, and by that I mean almost eloping. But we invited family and close friends along. The room we rented provided tables and chairs, but we had to set them all up - Carissa and her husband did it all! We needed table cloths and centerpieces, Carissa already head everything we needed! While our wedding was pretty simple, Carissa made it seamless. I probably would have just eloped it if hadn’t been for her!” - Chaney Johnson, 2017 Bride

“Carissa is the most caring, professional, efficient and all around the person you want to help you with your big day. She is a full-time mother and wife yet she can multitask like no one I’ve ever known. Her talents never end. From her organizational skills, photography, and DIY artistic capabilities she’s seriously the gift that keeps giving. My husband and I were both in nursing school and working full time and without this amazing lady I would neve never had the wedding of my dreams! She really is the best and I would recommend her to anyone!” - Jessica Gunderson, 2017 Bride

“I couldn’t imagine our wedding without Carissa. She truly was a Fairy Godmother to us. She made sure everything was set up exactly how we wanted it, kept us on rack with the timing of events, and stroubleshot issues when they arose, all without batting an eye! Thank you for sticking by my ideas and dreams of our wedding. We SO SO SO appreciated all of your help! You’re the BEST!” - Meghan Schruhl, 2017 Bride
