Ryan C. Sent on 07/27/2020Destination COVID Wedding Went Perfect!
My wife and I made the attempt to have a destination wedding on the other side of the country during what ended up being a global pandemic. We went from having the wedding completely planned and everything good to go 6 months out, to having to completely replan the wedding top to bottom after deciding that postponing or cancelling wasn't an option for us. Faith and Whimsy Events were invaluable during this process. Faith attended site and vendor visits while FaceTiming us in and went above and beyond to make sure our event went off without a hitch. While we faced a more challenging road to the altar than we thought, we couldn't be more thankful that we persevered and made it through. All of that was made possible with the assistance of Faith and Whimsy Events.Whimsy Events's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words Ryan! You and Meg were such a joy to work with and you made my job easier because of your love for each other infusing EVERYTHING about your wedding. COVID sure threw us for a loop but you never settled and were so resilient with your changes of venue and all the issues that arose. It was an HONOR to serve you both! I can't wait to see how your adventure unfolds!!! YOU DID IT! -

Our best day ever was truly the greatest day of our lives because of Faith and her team! My husband & I decided to switch wedding plans with 6 months to go before our wedding day due to COVID restrictions at our original venue. Our “Plan B” was to have the wedding at my parents estate in South Lake Tahoe… we had no idea where to start or what holding a wedding at a private estate entailed! We needed new vendors & to transform the estate into a venue. When Faith came into our lives, it was like everything finally fell into place as it should have. We chose to do the Partial Planning package where she was in charge of a few vendors for us — totally reasonable pricing for all that was included! Faith specializes in private estate weddings which is why she was our perfect fit, guiding us through all the hoops & checklists needed to make this wedding happen. She recommended quality vendors who we absolutely loved based off our visions and budget, set us up with an incredibly organized online portal, was flexible with changing plans/ideas, and was great at communicating and setting up site visits with us. It was so seamless & she is so skilled at what she does. Besides making our vision come to a reality, our favorite part of all was that Faith & her team (thanks Danelle!) took care of every little thing on the day of & allowed my husband, our families, and me to truly enjoy the wedding day/weekend. Everyone truly needs a Faith to get them through wedding planning!Whimsy Events's reply:
WE WIN. Covid lost!! I cannot express what a joy it was to serve you and Brett! Your family and friends were amazing to serve and seeing you celebrated after such a rough journey to the altar was SUCH A JOY!!! MY team still talks about your beautiful day and moments of your love story that day. We will meet again and celebrate ALL THE MEMORIES! -

Faith was not only super fun and very sweet she is really great at taking all your ideas and putting them into action.
I’m a person who is going in every direction at once and a lot of times just want to do it all myself.
Faith and her staff really took all my ideas and made them into the most wonderful day ever.Whimsy Events's reply:

Kenna C. Sent on 07/02/2019Excellent and easy to work with!
Thank You, Faith and Mary! I hired Whimsy Events for the Day Of Wedding coordination at our destination wedding (we live in Sacramento, married in South Lake Tahoe), and it was the best decision I could have made. I’m a hands-on person, and this was a pretty DIY wedding, but realized I really needed someone I could task with setting up the reception at our chosen location (a local restaurant and brewery that has event space). While I have friends who might have been willing and able to take care of it, I really didn’t want to burden any of my wedding guests. I found Whimsy Events on The Knot, and after reading her reviews (and interviewing her as well as a few others), I was convinced to hire Faith. Faith was great at initiating communication, doing everything she said she would do, and was fantastic throughout the entire process. I was really impressed with the Whimsy Events client portal, which captures every part of the planning from guest list to day-of-decor. The big day came and I was able to focus on just getting ready and making sure I got to the ceremony on time - all other aspects had been planned out and Faith followed my instructions to a T. At the reception, she and Mary were great about ensuring we were on schedule for all the milestones of the evening - firm yet unobtrusive. I am super pleased, and will not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needs a planner!Whimsy Events's reply:
I'm gonna miss talking with you Kenna! I loved supporting you on your wedding day and I feel SO honored you'd let me be a small part of telling your story and celebrating your love! You were the most organized and easy to work with bride and I couldn't have been happier working with you! I will never forget how stunned I was when I saw you get out of your car for the ceremony. You were the most AMAZING bride!! All my love to you both!!! -

Groom here.
Fellas, if you're rolling your eyes when your Fair Lady starts talking about "Maybe we should get a wedding coordinator," and you're all counting your pennies and thinking "Why should I/We pay someone to do what we can do ourselves," I'm going to ask you to sit down, have a drink, and hire Faith Hepner and Whimsy Events.
"But why?" I hear you ask. "Dude that's money I could spend on [insert power tool, golf club, or beer brand here]"
Buddy, I was once like you. I was That Guy. I am no longer. I'll tell you why:
You think you've got this covered, but I'm here to say, the one thing you don't have is TIME. Having Faith coordinate your wedding means instead of YOU (or, more importantly, your bride-to-be), means instead of getting in touch with the photographer, make up salon, barbershop, shower/brideparty venue, reception venue, wedding venue and every one of 823 other things you had NO IDEA were going to be involved...
...you hire Faith. You have a problem? Call Faith. Have an idea? Call Faith. Want to surprise your bride with something but you can't think of something? Call Faith. Or text her or email, whatever. She becomes your first point of contact, and then you don't have to worry about it.
And I like not worrying.
Asking my bride to marry me was easy. Convincing me a Wedding Coordinator was a "good idea" took 6 months and a wedding. When my bride was stressed, or didn't know what to do, I said "Hey, maybe Faith knows." Problem solved. She proved her value time and time again, and I, as a dude and a groom and a husband could not be happier at how much burden it took off my spouse as well.
We chose Faith Hepner and Whimsy Events. You should too. You can only do worse.
Whimsy Events's reply:
Oh my gosh, Thom! You are hilarious! And wonderful. And I am going to miss seeing you both. A lot. :) Thank you for trusting me and allowing me to know your story and celebrate you both. Your family and friends were wonderful and I would be so lucky to have more couples like you two! Next time you're both in Tahoe..let me know and we can grab a bite and catch up!! I wish you guys ALL the best! I love that your told YOUR story the way YOU wanted it! -

First I want to say. Faith is AMAZING!
Imagine planning your wedding with your best friend (Girls, we all know that spouses are busy sometimes and we need a MIND-MELDER and Confidant).
When I first mentioned Faith as our wedding planner to my fiance at first he said "I don't know, don't we already know what we want? What could she do that we couldn't?" I told him to just come with me and meet her and allow her to share with us what she has. Let me tell you...His opinion flipped 180 degrees to..."OMG we need her. Your mom is crazy and we need her...She's everything we want."
Back to what I was saying... Imagine planning a wedding with the perfect planner who is aware of your every desire and concern. Faith will sit with you and make sure your wedding dreams come true. She is patient, enthusiastic, great listener and can make sense of your blabbering.
You know that feeling when you plan something so perfect in your mind but when it comes down to the day of and execution, you kind of feel like you have no idea how its going to turn out? (sorry for the long sentence, I'm just so excited) You will have complete trust in her and she will work magic! Her team and knowledge of her bride are impeccable. We love Faith so much. She made the months and days leading up to and during our magical day smooth and worry free. I am a full-time student and needed all the help I could get and my husband is not a planner (haha). She could read my mind!
And when my Maid of Honor decided to "unfriend" me, Faith was there to help me through it as a friend. I would recommend her and her services to everyone needing a Guardian Angel, She is who becomes one of your best friends throughout your experience, and ultimately family.Whimsy Events's reply:
My beautiful bride!!! Thank you so much for the sweet words and I cannot even begin to express how wonderful it was to walk through this journey with you and be a part of you & Sam's story! Thank you for your trust and allowing me to help tell your story...I am forever grateful for being worthy of knowing you both! Your family and friends were wonderful and I am so happy you got your dream wedding day! You're a part of the Whimsy Wedding family now!! -

Trish Sent on 10/15/2019Truly the best!
I hired Faith for her month of planning/coordination package, and am so glad that I did! She truly was one of the best investments I made for our wedding. As an organized bride who does program management and formerly coordination for recruitment, I knew how important a day-of coordinator would be. Despite how much I could plan and strategically organize on a spreadsheet, I still need an experienced coordinator to make my vision a reality. I spoke with many coordinators, but Faith was hands down the only one I felt a connection with on the phone. I knew after that phone call that she was the one. Even though I didn't hire her as a full on planner, she would constantly check in with me to see how planning was going. One month before my wedding, she had a thorough video call with me and set expectations. I knew then I had nothing to worry about come the day of the wedding. She provided me with feedback on how to make my itinerary more in depth, and she handled my contracts and finalized details with all of my vendors. When my wedding day came, she was a rockstar. I honestly didn't notice any mishaps. Faith and her assistant managed everything so well. I had a minor bridezilla moment, and she gave me advice and helped me immediately bounce back! She was by far so instrumental in the success of the wedding, and I would 100% recommend her for any planning and coordination services. Thank you Faith for making me feel like I could let go and trust someone with the details - it's very rare that I feel that way. You made me a happy and stress-free bride!!Whimsy Events's reply:
I knew from the moment we spoke I'd love being with you on your wedding day Trish! Thank you for trusting me with all the details for your big day that you worked so hard on AND with all the emotions that come with it. You weren't a bridezilla, not by a LONG shot...and you made planning so easy because of how detailed and communicative you were about your vision and wants! I'm loving watching your honeymoon instagram stories and can't wait to watch your love story unfold! -

Where do I begin? Oh, I know - WHIMSY IS AMAZING!! Faith and her staff were there for me during the whole process in a way that was hard to put into words. I live in San Diego, and my Mom is in Santa Rosa, so we knew we would need to enlist some local help. I am so glad we found Whimsy. Right away there was clear and concise communication and a quick but thorough process to get to know us and what we wanted. One of the things that is so special is that they were thinking about every aspect of the wedding, not just the day itself. I knew the venue, photographer, and food I wanted, but that was about it. Faith had a list of local vendors she trusted and all of them exceeded my expectations. Once hired, Faith handled vendors on the business end, and allowed me to concentrate on the creative. She had a minute by minute timeline for the day that her staff and vendors all had copies of in advance so there was no confusion. On the morning of my wedding, I was able to sit back, sip champagne, laugh with my girlfriends, and not worry about a damn thing. When the doors opened and my dad walked me down the aisle, everything was perfect. The day went by without a single problem - that I was aware of anyway! It was truly priceless. I am so thankful, the day was a dream. I truly do not know how we would have done it without Faith and her staff at Whimsy, she is literally family now. When I said goodbye to her that night, I said, "See you at Thanksgiving."Whimsy Events's reply:
GIRL...you made me CRY!!! Gah, I love you so much! To work with a bride on her wedding day is an honor already...but to walk away as close friends afterwards is just SUCH an added blessing! You are so precious and I am so thankful for your kind words and the friendship I know will continue long after your wedding! You are such a beautiful soul and I cannot thank you enough for the example you showed of love and kindness and grace on your wedding day. You and Chad are such an example of two souls that were meant to find each other! I love you girl! (See you at Thanksgiving!! MUAH!) -

"When I first got engaged, I was ecstatic! I knew my wedding would be one of the happiest days of my life, I just didn't know where to start! Whimsy Events helped me from start to finish. Faith cared about even the littlest details and my wedding was everything I could have asked for and more! Thank you so much for making my wedding go so smooth! The day of my wedding, I was stress free! Everyone should feel the same!" - Dicksie MWhimsy Events's reply:

Amy Sent on 09/04/2019Wonderful personalized insights, very professional!
Hiring Faith and her assistants at Whimsy Events was the best decision we made for our wedding. From the moment she met us and learned our story she was committed to progressing our vision - not her own or that of the myriad of people who had suggestions along the way. Jesse and I are not a very traditional couple but Faith embraced our uniqueness and made wonderful suggestions that acknowledged our individuality while keeping to our ultimate goal of a family centered celebration. She helped guide us through all the hiccups and obstacles that come with a wedding and a few bumps that just come with life in general and she did so effortlessly and with professionalism. I never felt judged as she guided me away from some eccentric ideas (bounce house INSIDE the museum we chose for the venue, not my brightest moment). On the day of the wedding she made me feel like she had everything well under control - even with a drunk bridesmaid who nearly missed the wedding entirely and losing every single activity I had planned for the little kiddos in attendance! She made sure my first look photos went off without a hitch and took some beautiful pictures throughout the day to keep me satisfied until my professional photos are ready. She really thought of everything and shared all her insights with both Jesse and I so we could both make informed decisions. I appreciate all her help tremendously and absolutely could not have had the beautiful wedding we were blessed with without her!
Whimsy Events's reply:
Amy, you and Jesse were such a great couple to work with. I am so thankful you valued my input and allowed me to add value to your wedding day but also kept your wedding telling your story throughout! It was an honor to help you navigate all the little nuances that happen during a wedding day and help you achieve your goals. YOU'RE MARRIED! That's what really matters! -

Faith helped me plan my wedding and she was the glue that held my engagement and wedding together.

She always had ways to make something work and she had the know-how to make it happen. We couldn't have done it without herWhimsy Events's reply:

My husband and I got engaged on New Year’s Eve and married on March 7th. We simply wouldn’t have survived a two month engagement and all the needed wedding preparations, invites and plans that needed to be organized and completed without Faith’s professional and charming help. She handled our wedding preparations with precision and every detail was arranged with care, including interactions with our family and random guests helping with different details of the day. Our wedding day was spectacular, and we recommend Whimsy Events to everyone we know who has an event they need assistance with.Whimsy Events's reply:
That sure was a whirlwind! BUT, I wouldn't trade it for anything! What a beautiful, intimate, perfect day of love and joy! Thank you for trusting me with your wedding day! -
