My advice is if you think you can handle your wedding by yourself, you’re probably wrong. And if you’re one of the rare people that can, you’re going to be so stressed out you won’t be having the fun you deserve on your wedding day. The help of Blue Wings was worth every single penny. Blue Wings was a great company to plan our special day with. They have a variety of packages and helped us decide what best suited our needs. Were procrastinators so we gave Angela free reign to call, text, e-mail, and nag us to meet our deadlines and she did! Shed grab dinner with us before Sounders games, call us during our layovers at airports, or have full texting conversations when we couldnt make time to talk. We live an hour and a half apart and that was never an issue, she’d drive wherever we wanted to meet. Before meeting her I didn’t know half of the stuff that I needed to plan for. She educated me and had everything in an organized fashion and conquered one thing at a time. I was indifferent on almost all things related to décor and Angela was a life saver in this aspect. She’d send me ideas for center pieces, flower arrangements, table numbers, seating charts – you name it. She was comfortable to work with so I had no problem saying I hate this idea, that’s ugly, or my favorite – I am NOT paying that much! She worked with me to find ways to make things classy and also not break my budget. Angela was committed to making sure our day was as smooth as it possible. I had a decoration emergency and she rushed out and bought something to fix it with her own money and spared me from ever knowing anything went wrong. It wasn’t until a couple months later we were reminiscing and she told me the story. She not only takes pride in her work but she genuinely cares that you have the best wedding.

I was skeptical at first to hire a wedding planner because I didnt think it was in my budget. As it turns out, it wasnt in my budget NOT to hire a planner! Being new to the area, I saved so much time and money working with Angela at Blue Wings Events. She was able to make fabulous recommendations for vendors that I NEVER would have found without her help. Angela was easy to get ahold of, and very organized and responsive. She even drove an hour to meet me AT MY HOUSE so we could go over wedding plans on many separate occasions. This was a huge help because I have a one year old son who is easier to keep track of when we are at home. I feel like Angela went above and beyond in more ways that I could describe. Something extra special was that she went wedding dress shopping with me since I dont have family around. If I had only one statement to make about the the service I received from Blue Wings Events, it is that I feel like Angela gave me the most spectacular event, that turned out even more beautiful than I imagined, while continually being respectful of our budget. Honestly, weddings are so much work. And we (most of us) only get married once in a lifetime. Spend the money and hire an event planner who has done this many times, or hate your life for the duration of your engagement.

10/10 amazing experience. Angela was a great resource, and I would like to sing her praises. Leading up to our wedding day she made herself available at any given moment, text, email, phone calls, she responded to every question or concern within the hour. We met for no less than half a dozen times, where we discussed everything from design ideas, etiquete, timelines, budget, rentals, contracts, and honestly the who/what/when/where/and why of OUR wedding. She knew all the right questions to ask to help us turn our thoughts into reality. Before we knew it our wedding day was in a week. Everything was in place, and it just needed to happen. This is where she shines. Angela wrangled everyone from the wedding party, the photographer, the rental deliveries, the venue personel, i mean everyone. She made sure they all knew exeactly what their jobs were, and that they were there to do them. I was completely hands off for this last week before the wedding and it made the process so much less stress. On the big day she ran it like a Swiss watch. Everything ran seamlessly, period. Our expectations were high, and they were blown out of the water. Thank you a million times over Angela. We couldnt have done it without you.

I highly recommend Blue Wings Wedding & Events. Angela was amazing ! My daughter had her wedding at the Kitsap Memorial State Park in August 2016. Angela is such a wonderful wedding planner that it was basically worry free. As being mother-of-the-bride, you usually have to worry about everything. Throughout the planning process, Angela was attentive, organized and resourceful. She helped to alleviate any additional stress leading up to the wedding by providing helpful tips and resources to keep my daughter and now son-in-law on track for their big day. She took the reigns on their rehearsal day and made sure all of the wedding party knew exactly what they were doing, and made it fun and enjoyable throughout. On my daughters wedding day, I knew that I had absolutely nothing to stress about because Angela was there to make sure everything was perfect with every little detail through every step of the way. There are not enough words to describe how grateful we are for Angela being part of our daughters special day. We will definitely have her plan our second daughters wedding in the near future. We couldnt have done it without her.

I had the pleasure of working with Angela and Blue Wing Events when we contracted with her for the Tacoma-Pierce County Chambers Happy Hour Business Expo. As an event professional myself, I can say that Happy Hour Business Expo is no small undertaking. There are multiple moving parts; vendor relations, contract negotiation and execution, regulatory agencies (the health department), venue set up, equipment procurement, caterers, sponsors, entertainment, decor, event guests, you name it. I am pleased to say that I did not have to worry with this event in Angelas hands. Angela is the consummate event professional with great communication, excellent organization, and keen attention to detail. Not only did we have happy sponsors and vendors, but we boasted the largest crowd ever with nearly 400 guests over two hours. Being a Chamber event, guest and vendor experience is incredibly important, and I can confidently say that I would strongly recommend Blue Wing Events for any corporate or private event

Angela allowed us to enjoy our wedding without dealing with all the stress throughout the day. She met with us many times to change this or change that. She answered calls from with freaking out wife about bridesmaid who didnt try on dresses till a few days before the wedding and other things that came up. She was always calm which helped both my wife and I. She made the day very special for us. I can say for a fact that our wedding wouldnt have happened without Angelas calm demeanor. She constantly encouraged us and really made us feel like we were the only ones that mattered. If you dont have a wedding planner, named Angela Strecker I dont know what you are thinking. She was worth so much more than the money it cost for her services. You will not be disappointed. Thank you again Angela for everything. Mr. & Mrs. Aaron Fox
