Reviews of Blue Wings Events, LLC (Event Planner)

What can I say about Angela and her team... My wife and I had Angela's help from the beginning. She was attentive in our desires, quick to expand on our idea's of what was possible, strict to our budget, and AMAZING with her recommendations. Angela took the time to make our day unique, personal, and wonderful. It was far grander than anything I thought I could afford and the absolute perfect day for my Wife and I. There are numerous legal sections to planning a wedding that I had not even considered and Angela and her team took care of everything. She left us feeling confident and assured leading up to the day through constant communication and meetings throughout the process and ensured that there was nothing but good times to be had by all. I have to say, get a planner... It will make your life so much easier and don't look further than this one. Angela, Stacy, and Michelle helped with planning and ensuring a perfect day. They managed people, family, and vendors. They did coordinating, logistics, assisted in idea creation, colors, themes, and ensured that this was a day we will never forget. This was the perfect, Dream come true, experience. Do yourself a favor and hire Angela and her team!

If your looking for or considering hiring a wedding planner/coordinator your search can stop here as Angela from Blue Wings Events is amazing! Angela and her staff did everything we asked for and more. During the beginning planning stages of the wedding, my now husband and I were debating if we needed to hire a wedding planner as I am a very organized, OCD kind of bride and had a lot already planned for the big day, but boy was I glad I hired Angela. I originally only was going to hire Angela for the day of the wedding package but we ended up determining she is of much greater value with her expertise and knew we needed her for much more. So we hired her for the “everything” package. And this is coming from the bride that has been planning her wedding for the past 5 years and knew what I was doing. By far, hiring Angela and her staff was the best money I spent on the wedding. I had multiple meetings with her, she was always available to me via phone with any questions or concerns I had and was very organized. I couldn’t of done it without her! So if your looking forward to actually enjoy your wedding day and have no worries about what’s going on while your getting ready, as it is intended to be like, then hire Angela and her staff.

I couldn’t have asked for a better day. Location was outstanding, the weather was perfect and the view was incredible. The settings between the outside, the bar and the inside were exquisite. Angela and Stacy set up my entire wedding, coordinated all of the bridal party and guests, and even tore down my wedding. I did not have to lift a finger or stress the entire day. They were absolutely fantastic to work with and met all of my wants and desires. They kept in contact throughout the entire process. I highly recommend this business to anyone looking to get married.

I can't thank Angela and the Blue Wings crew enough for making our wedding planning journey a successful and pleasurable one! Angela helped make my dreams a reality and I don't know what I would have done without her on the big day. She was so helpful in guiding us throughout the event. We didn't have to think about a thing and that was exactly what I hoped for when hiring her! I would recommend her to anyone planning a wedding.

Blue WIngs Events was invaluable to making our special day perfect. Angela and Cindy went above and beyond in making sure everything was thought of and that everything was executed smoothly. Its very apparent that over the years, Angela has gotten her process absolutely dialed in. She doesn't miss a single detail and she anticipated every hiccup far in advance. Experience, competence, confidence, and preparedness for days! It was comforting to be in such good hands during such a stressful day. My wife and I can't say enough positive things about our experience!!!

If you have ever had anxiety about planning a wedding, just stop worrying and let Angela and her team at Blue Wings Events do the work for you! Angela and Stacy were so amazing at making our visions for the day come to life. They also had so many great ideas that we would never have thought of! She helped us find the perfect venue and hooked us up with vendors she knew would do a great job. Thank you Angela and everyone at Blue Wings! Our day was perfect!

Michele Lewis

I'm good at planning my own events but I wanted to be present for my daughters graduation party, as this event only comes once. I didn't want to worry about all the details like are the beverages and food being refilled, or even when the dog got out...she went and chased her down so we didn't have too. Angela was able to come in and take over so I was able to enjoy the day with all of our friends and family without having to worry about a thing. Outstanding job and will use her again!!

We held our yearly company party in June of 2018. My Company had never used a party planner and I decided to use one for the 2018 year (late in the game). I highly recommend Blue Wings Weddings & Events. Angela and her team delivered on all of my "picky" asks and helped to bring the vision my Company wanted for our annual party to life... and in a cost effective manner.

I was skeptical at first to hire a wedding planner because I didn't think it was in my budget. As it turns out, it wasn't 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 don't 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.

Angela and her wonderful team did an exceptional job at our wedding that consisted of more than 250 guests. Our day would not have been so special is it not been for the work of Angela and her team. Angela possesses a great knowledge of what would and wouldn’t work for our outdoor venue. Further, she managed our expectations very well. We truly did not have to worry about anything on our special day. Angela and her team handled all the big things and small things as well.

Our wedding was perfect due to Angela and her team. I don't even know where to begin. I was always skeptical about needing a wedding planner. My MIL finally convinced me to hire one and that's when I found Angela, my saving grace. Angela went above and beyond in every aspect from helping us find the most PERFECT officiant and a fantastic videographer within our budget (I never would've been able to find a videographer in our budget without Angela's help) to taking care of all the small details. We live out of town, so she went to walk-throughs for us, met with vendors and even dealt with our venue that is known to be incredibly strict with rules and timing. There are just so many wonderful things to say that I can't even remember them all. If you're in Seattle/Tacoma HIRE ANGELA. I guarantee that you will not regret it. She turned this skeptic into a believer and made our vision come alive.

I had the pleasure of working with Angela and Blue Wing Events when we contracted with her for the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber's 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 Angela's 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

My wedding was the most perfect day of my life, and it wouldn't have happened without Blue Wings. They helped me with every detail of my wedding, and on the day-of, they made sure I enjoyed every minute without worry. My wedding was seamless, beautiful, and it was all thanks to them! I will be referring them to my friends when they are ready to tie the knot!

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. We're procrastinators so we gave Angela free reign to call, text, e-mail, and nag us to meet our deadlines and she did! She'd grab dinner with us before Sounders games, call us during our layovers at airports, or have full texting conversations when we couldn't 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.

We work with Angela and her crew and they are amazing, they take your vision and make it a reality!

Blue Wings Events saved us money, stress, time and most of all gave us peace of mind! My husband and I pride ourselves in being frugal/thrifty/sensible spenders. After we had gotten engaged, we set a budget and immediately started looking into "Weddings under $____" and "How to throw a wedding without breaking the bank" etc. No blogs or articles I found included hiring a wedding planner. Funny thing is, I'm positive that we couldn't have had the beautiful wedding we did, and still come in under the budget we set, without Angela's help. With each of us being one of 5 children (a.k.a. large families on both sides) we feared there was no way we could successfully include everyone who was important to us and not break the bank. Angela managed to find us the best venue for our needs and came up with a ceremony and reception schedule that allowed us to celebrate with both family and friends, while still making everything feel intimate. She was there every step of the way, from finding vendors, coming up with decoration and style ideas, and getting a wedding dress that made me feel like a million bucks (without spending a million bucks) to helping create our menu, keeping us on track with our timeline activities and reminding us that everything was not only going to be okay, but was going to be great. I was so grateful to be able to call her when I was stressed or anxious, to be able to ask her about all of my "supposed to's" and have her confirm what I did and didn't need to worry about, and to trust that she would help make my day everything I hoped for. Last but not least, day of coordination was a must for us. Angela and Michele made everything go so smoothly from our ceremony through our brunch, into our evening party reception that we were truly able to be our own guests. I can't thank either of them enough for the wonderful memories I have of one of the least stressful, most beautiful and happy days of my life. If you're getting married, you owe it to yourself to let Blue Wings work their magic for you!

Angela and Stacy streamlined our wedding event with a well balanced mixture of professionalism and elegance. Excellent communication! Blue Wings Events has our highest recommendation!

Having a wedding is a daunting and stressful prospect, but having Angela there from the very beginning actually made it easy and enjoyable. From the first time I met her at the wedding show in Tacoma, to the first meeting we had to discuss the wedding, I always felt at ease with her. She brings a level of excitement and knowledge to the table that helps to alleviate the stress and worry. Also, she has a lot of wonderful connections in the business, and expertise to help guide you through the process, regardless of your budget. Every small detail of the event was discussed and planned, and I never felt like I had to remember all the tiny details because she or her assistant (also fabulous to work with!) would remind me as the time came closer. Our wedding day could not have been more perfect. Many friends and family had said it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and I thank Angela and her crew for making it that, for not only my friends and family, but also for us. I highly recommend Blue Wings Wedding and Events! You will not be disappointed!

We've been doing our own events for some time, but we just needed to make our name change event very special. We knew we needed a pro. Blue Wings Events led by Angela is just what we needed. She took care of things I'd never think of and do it professionally. Blue Wings does a great job with weddings and other events, and you can add corporate events to that list as well. We're so happy with the decision to hire out for this task. Thank you!!

Angela was a Godsend!! I met Angela at the Tacoma wedding expo and was immediately impressed with her knowledge and organization ideas. She gave me some post-its so I could tag all the vendor materials to remember who I loved. Of course I put one on Angela’s brochure! Fast forward 6 months... I initially hired a friend of a friend to do my day of coordinating. I found myself telling her what to do and then stressing out that I’d have to do the same thing on my wedding day. I didn’t need that stress! I reached out to Angela in a panic 3 months before the wedding, hoping and praying she was still available for my wedding date. Thank God she was!! I met with her and was immediately put at ease with her knowledge and experience! Everything I worried over she said, “ Don’t worry! You have me now!”. I booked her that day and never looked back! Angela doesn’t do “day of coordinating”. She does “month of coordinating” and boy, did I get my money worth! She was always available via text or email, she sent me reminders (even after the wedding!!), gave me vendor names, and so much more!! Honestly, she is worth wayyyyy more than what she charges. Thank you Angela for making my day perfect. You kept us on time (which is hard for me) and I never even had to worry about anything the whole day!! You even found my wedding shoes that got lost in the shuffle with all the decor (which still, to this day I don’t know where they were!). I probably would’ve went shoeless without you. Thank you so much, Angela. We will be forever grateful!!!

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 didn't 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 wouldn't have happened without Angela's calm demeanor. She constantly encouraged us and really made us feel like we were the only ones that mattered. If you don't have a wedding planner, named Angela Strecker I don't 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

Blue Wings Events planned our August 2019 wedding and we honestly could not have picked a better team! Angela and Stacy made our dream come true! We got everything we ask for and more! They think of everything, from the big details to the very tiny ones. They were on schedule, on point with every detail, and most of all they were so much fun to work with!

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 couldn't have done it without her.

I held a backyard wedding reception for my only daughter. Everything had to be just perfect! All the details needed to take care of 130 guests were thought of...from the time time my guests arrived throughout the evening Angela helper it all along. There were little areas to sit beneath the fruit trees, bistro tables in the garden, toasting the couple where all could hear & see. I was able to totally focus on my guests as Angela focused on the party details. What a wonderful way to host!

Blue Wings Events made our day amazing! Angela and Stacy were our main wedding planners and Angela and Michele were our “day of” coordinators. My wife and I both had busy schedules during the planning of our wedding, and they made the whole process so much easier. We did not have to worry about talking directly to the different vendors (caterer, florist, DJ, etc.). Angela and Stacy were very flexible. When we didn’t like the photographers they suggested, they found another that we loved and adjusted so we could stay within our budget. No one in our wedding party had ever been part of a wedding, so Angela and her team gave us a lot of guidance for what exactly we were going to do and when to do it. With Angela and her team, you never had to worry if a small detail would be missed. It really made the stress of wedding planning go away. I would recommend that everyone hires Angela and her team!
