Frequently Asked Questions

How would you define your "style"?

Our style is elegantly timeless with a strong focus on creating deeply emotional and meaningful experiences. It blends classic fairy tale elements with modern, personalized touches, ensuring every detail is thoughtfully curated. The emphasis is on seamless coordination, a flawless aesthetic, and a stress-free, immersive experience for the couple. With mindfulness, care, and compassion at the core, the style is both romantic and emotionally enriching, reflecting the couple’s unique love story while evoking a sense of magic and wonder.

What does the process of working with your company look like?

Our process begins with a personalized consultation where the couple’s vision, needs, and preferences are discussed in detail. From there, the team creates a customized wedding plan, focusing on both logistics and emotional well-being. They guide the couple through every step, including venue selection, vendor coordination, and design decisions. The company emphasizes mindfulness techniques to keep the couple calm and present. As the wedding day approaches, they ensure seamless execution and provide day-of coordination, making sure every moment is flawless and magical.

What is included in your most popular packages?

In our Complete Collection (starting at $6,000) you’ll get everything from save‑the‑dates to invitation logistics, full vendor coordination, on‑site setup/breakdown, a senior planner + assistant, and our planning portal + budget tracker. The Signature Collection (starting at $3,000) offers planning portal, budget tracker, vendor recommendations, six milestone sessions, on‑site vendor coordination and lead coordinator + assistant. The Essentials Collection (starting at $2,000) is ideal for couples who’ve already begun planning but want professional oversight: it includes three personalized planning sessions, virtual consults 4‑6 weeks out, light décor setup and breakdown, and on‑site coordination.

What is a unique tip you tell your couples that is specific to your vendor category?

We always suggest building a strong relationship with your venue early— especially with destination or themed weddings—so you and your planner can align on logistics and vendor flexibility before the six‑month mark. That early collaboration often reduces stress and lets you invest more in experiences that feel uniquely yours.

What current trends have you seen at weddings?

We’re seeing more weddings infused with personalized storytelling (custom vows, narrative decor), whimsical and lush “enchanted forest” aesthetics (twinkling lights + greenery), grand and memorable entrances/exits, and immersive guest experiences (interactive stations, themed photo ops) that reflect the couple’s journey rather than just tradition.

What advice would you give a couple who is starting the search for the perfect venue?

Choose a venue that not only fits your guest count and budget but also feels like your story. Ask: “Does this space reflect our vibe?” Check what’s included (vendors, décor, coordination) to avoid surprise fees. Then schedule a walk‑through so you can imagine your wedding there. The moment you feel connected and calm—that’s the one.

At Fairy Tales & Wedding Bells, we don’t just plan weddings—we become storytellers of your love. With a high‑touch, emotionally‑aware approach, we handle every detail so you can live your day, not just endure it. We mix creative vision, logistics mastery, and caring support so your wedding isn’t only beautiful—it’s meaningful and deeply you.

What's a fun or unusual fact about you or your company?

An unusual fact about our company is that its wedding services are deeply rooted in nursing principles, incorporating evidence-based techniques to help couples stay present, calm, and stress-free on their big day. This unique approach combines empathy, compassion, and precision, ensuring that every wedding is flawlessly managed and emotionally meaningful. This blend of care is inspired by nursing research, setting the company apart with a focus on emotional well-being and attention to detail.

How did you get started as a wedding pro?

Founder Michelle McKeown combined her experience in travel and her love of ceremony storytelling to create Fairy Tales & Wedding Bells. She shifted from crafting dream vacations to crafting dream weddings, using her strengths in coordination, detail‑oriented service, and heart‑centered care to create magical moments for couples.

Share a piece of advice to reduce stress in the wedding planning process.

Focus on the moments you want to remember—not the details everyone else will notice. Delegate, trust your planner to handle the logistics, and permit yourself to practice presence on the day. When you’re fully there, you’ll remember the laughter, the tears, the “I do,” not the seating chart shuffle.

What's your favorite wedding tradition and why?

Our favorite tradition is the “10 Second Touch”, where couples are invited to take a brief, intentional pause to cherish the moment using all five senses. This powerful connection technique helps solidify the magic of the day, allowing the couple to create a core memory that grounds them emotionally in the present. This simple yet profound touch ensures they’re fully immersed in their fairy tale, strengthening their bond and bringing deep meaning to each magical moment.

Tell us more about the couples you usually get the pleasure of working with.

We love couples who dream big—but who also care deeply about connection and meaning. Those who want their wedding day to feel like an authentic reflection of their journey, who value creativity, elegance, and emotional depth. Whether it’s a Disney‑inspired venue or a garden escape, they want their love story to shine through.

What are some of the best compliments you've received from your clients?

I got married October. I had an amazing Disney Coordinator. We had a lot going on and throughout the day, literally from 3 am to 10:30pm. While Disney tells you where to be and guides you to everything, they aren’t all the same. My DC was great but I had different people the whole day due to some unforeseen circumstances. I have no complaints with any of the DCs but I did have a favorite (she pull some fairy godmother magic and got my son some caramel popcorn at our Epcot Dessert Party). DCs make sure your BEO is carried out. That’s it. I couldn’t imagine my day without my day of coordinator (DOC). She and her team were nothing short of absolute magic! They arrived at my room at 2:50 ish to help me and my crew get ready for hair and make up. They got all my DIY stuff that Disney wouldn’t set up and put it in play. They ran out and got my aunt a birthday cupcake before our reception. They had contact solution for me when some fuzz decided it wanted to make a home on my lens before my ceremony. They answered questions from my MIL and family so I wasn’t distracted from being in love. And when there was some extra time between the prereception and reception, they got our friends and family occupied with our thumbprint poster. From helping get items ready for videography and photography to pinning my MILs dress at 5am to extra tissues and moles skins at the ceremony, my DOCs were a God-send!! It was absolutely worth having them there. Guess what!? My DOCs were Michelle and her team! She was actually with me from the very beginning! Literally a week after we decided on a Disney wedding, Michelle was there! Answering texts and emails. Calming me down when my anxiety was raging. Preparing me in ways I didn’t think about. Making sure that my day was in fact MY day. All I can say is, I think my day would have been chaos without her and her team!! I have no regrets having her on board! Not one bit! – Cassie I have Michelle! She’s literally amazing! She’s taken so much of the stress off of us already and my wedding isn’t even until June! She helps us with any questions we have, has meetings with us on zoom, and helps keep us in line with all of our stuff! – Alley I’m getting married 12-9-22. Michelle has been my go-to throughout this experience. I have 150 guests and my wedding location doesn’t help or get back to you at all. If I didn’t have Michelle I would have canceled our wedding. We are flying her out to our wedding and hired her team so we will have multiple assistants on stand bye. – Tana I’m getting married Jan 17 and have been working with Michelle since the beginning….in all honesty, there is NO way I would have been able to do this without her. She is a godsend and has helped with EVERY step! She’s even helped me navigate how to deal with a personal tragedy that so close to the wedding! 10000% recommend working with her! I’m also having her at our dessert party the night before and on the day of for our wedding, because, like I said, can’t do it without her! – Meg

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Fairy Tales and Wedding Bells and our amazing planning team — Michelle, Noelle, and Jen. From start to finish, they were professional, attentive, and incredibly supportive, making our entire wedding experience feel seamless and stress-free.

Michelle went above and beyond for us in a way we will never forget. The day before our wedding, she took time out of her schedule to come and be with us while the steamer was there, and that meant more to us than we can put into words. Having her there in that moment gave us such peace of mind, and it was just one example of how genuinely caring and dedicated she is to her couples.

On our wedding day, Noelle and Jen were absolutely incredible. They made sure everything ran smoothly and completely took the stress off of us, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. When an unexpected situation came up — my husband’s brother accidentally leaving my husband’s phone and wallet on a bench at Disney — they handled it calmly and efficiently, ensuring everything was taken care of without us ever feeling the stress of it.

Because of Michelle, Noelle, and Jen, our day was organized, calm, and truly joyful. We felt so supported every step of the way, and we are endlessly grateful for their dedication, kindness, and professionalism. We would wholeheartedly recommend Fairy Tales and Wedding Bells to any couple looking for a planning team that truly cares and goes above and beyond.

I am the father of the bride and we hired Fairytales and Wedding Bells for a planner, day of services. This vendor was unorganized and didn’t provide the services she was paid for. If you are looking for a wedding planner or day service vendor to help the bride this is clearly not the vendor you want. I would never recommend this company. This day is a special day. This is to be a wonderful day not a day of stress and frustration.

Michelle and her team were amazing! I didn’t stress at all on my wedding day because I knew the team of Fairy Tales and Wedding Bells had it covered. As any bride knows, your peace is priceless on your wedding day. I got to truly enjoy my day without a worry knowing Michelle and her team were behind the scenes. She really was my fairy godmother, therapist, and all around saint on the day and beforehand! Couldn’t recommend them enough!

As a wedding officiant, I understand that wedding planning, and the execution of a wedding day, is a complicated process. Fairy Tales & Wedding Bells knows how to navigate, from beginning to end, what\’s necessary to have a memorable and magical wedding day for the two of you, your families, and your guests. Michelle and her team truly care about the couples they serve, and make sure that all of the details are taken care of so that you can relax and be a guest at your own wedding! I highly recommend them!

My wife and I attended the wedding of our niece. When we arrived at the reception hall we could hear someone yelling at the mother of the bride from down the hall. Later in the evening we asked the mother of the bride who was yelling and she pointed out it was the day of coordinator. Had she not told me she was the coordinator I would have assumed she was a guest because she was dancing and doing the photo op. Very unprofessional. After the wedding was well over I also learned she was very rude when problems were pointed out to her.

I am the brother of a bride who hired Michelle and fairy tales and wedding bells. My sister was very excited for her wedding day and to have her family there to see it. On the actual day of the wedding without consulting anyone, about 10 seconds before i walked my mom down the aisle I was told to return back to the entry way after I walk my mom down the aisle. I was not given any explanation until I was back from walking my mom down the aisle. Thats when I was told there was a last minute change to how the rings would be brought in. I thought my sister had changed it last minute without telling me and rightfully was hurt I\’d be missing most of the wedding because of this. I stood behind the closed entry way door for half the wedding and only got to see the I dos because of this last minute change. Later during the reception I found out this decision was not told to anyone before hand and was strictly the idea of Michelle. My sister the bride was furious and my parents were furious. When we voiced our anger to Michelle, not only did she try to justify her actions. She also never once within multiple meetings and a long letter ever tried to apologize for any of the issues that happened on the day of the wedding. For that and many other reasons I cannot recommend this team to anyone looking for a smooth wedding day.

In response to your reply Michelle. First, the new plan you made for me to be apart of the wedding beyond walking my mother and grandmother was not discussed with the bride or my father the point of contact in case the bride cannot be reached per your own contract. In addition to you making this change without telling anyone the exact changes, I was only told that I needed to come back to the front room outside of the wedding area about 30 seconds to a minute before walking my mom down the aisle. Before my mom and I walked down that aisle we both asked multiple times why I needed to come back and you refused to give a answer. Only once I had walked into the front room and the doors closed was I informed of the change you had decided on which was that I was to walk down the aisle with the rings. I was asked months before if I wanted to be apart of the wedding beyond walking my family down the aisle and had said expressly no. My sister and mother told you that in the planning phase. You expressly ignored it and because of the timing of when you told me about this change,I was unfairly coerced into this role. This role I was coerced into should have been the duty of the coordinator, not a guest who flew in for the experience of watching his sister get married. Because of this change I not only was forced to miss a substantial portion of my sister’s wedding but also under the impression it was my sister’s idea. Your wording and tone made it seem like my sister changed this at the rehearsal I was not able to attend. But I was later informed that you had also missed the rehearsal. Which feels like a vital thing for a day of coordinator to be at.

As for the fact you “were touched by my sister’s wedding”. I do not care how touched you were, the bride and her entire family should have been touched watching the wedding. Frankly I am appalled you not only have the guts to say this knowing you have made multiple changes that have ruined my sister’s wedding for her and her family. She has stated that you were the worst mistake she made for her wedding. You should know that I feel sorry for anyone who is unfortunate enough to have you as their day of coordinator.”

    Dear Zach,

    The changes to your sister’s event were approved by yourself and / or stakeholders. The majority of such changes were safety issues (ie threatening weather DIY construction challenges, ect) that were adjusted to still stay true to her vision.

    On a more personal note, I want to express how deeply your sister’s wedding touched us. Your willingness to step in and help in this event truly made a difference for this event.

Our team had the pleasure of working closely with Michelle & team at Fairy Tales & Wedding Bells at a recent wedding. The bride was very much at ease and taken care because she hired the right wedding planner. Michelle truly has an eye for detail and a heart for each of her clients. Her team is physically present and make sure every detail & importance of matter is handled with excellence. If you are looking for a great wedding planning team for your Disney wedding, we recommend you hiring Michelle and her team!

I\’m getting Married in September 2023 at Walt Disney Grand Floridian. I have spoken with Michelle many times. Her services are highly recommended in any Disney Fairy Tale Wedding planning. She has so many insightful tools and ideas; and always willing to help you stay on budget. She\’s great at easing your Anxieties. Please, future brides hire this time on to help you thru the process and to be there on your day to let you be in the moment.

I cannot recommend Michelle enough! If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding coordinator, DO IT! It’ll save you headaches and stress. We had a Disney wedding and she is an asset as Disney weddings don’t provide the level of service as Michelle does when it comes to day of coordinating. I regard her as a friend now and again, I highly recommend her!
