Introduction

Everyone has a vision of how they want their wedding day to look. From a simple theme to an all-out extravagant affair – you know what YOU want. And at Fairy Tale Affairs, which opened in 2000, we’re here to make that vision become a reality. I’m Tracey, and my daughter Dezi and I are the masterminds that will create the wedding of your dreams. We’re not your typical wedding professionals. In fact, we leave the planning to the venues and wedding planners – what we do is make your fairy tale vision for your wedding day come to life. From save the dates, invitations, menus, programs, rentals, accessories and favors to linens and centerpieces and so much more! Our entertainment services include everything from champagne pourers, dancers, photo booths, illusionists, greeters, cigar rollers, drag shows, to Broadway performers. We never say no – so if you can dream it, Dezi and I will make it happen. We’re family owned and operated, with over 30 years experience in the wedding industry. When you walk into our beautiful showroom, you immediately become part of our family! We are just as passionate about your big day as you are. Most of our brides come back to us to plan other milestones in their lives like baby showers, christenings and birthday parties, just to name a few.

The Wedding Industry

Working in New York City as an accountant for years I felt uninspired and unfulfilled. There was something missing. I always loved creating and developing ideas. I love the challenge of finding a way to make the impossible… “possible”. So…. the natural path led me to start planning and coordinating weddings. I knew this was my calling. I started with invitations, favors and accessories and coordinating with outside sources to design the decor. Soon, it was thriving. When my oldest daughter joined the company, she took it to another level. She’s a graphic designer – and with her creative talent, we actually have our own production department now and control/produce/create all of our designs. What we love most about weddings is when we get to experience and share our brides’ excitement as they explain their wedding vision. We truly love being a part of your special day. We fit all budgets, styles and turn around times. This is something we pride ourselves on. We act like every wedding is our wedding – so you know it’s going to be beautiful.

The Wedding Memories

All of our brides are so memorable. A few times, when we were coordinating weddings, the couples would thank us during their speeches. This stands out, because we were just there doing what we do best, but it’s such a great thing to feel like part of the family. “NO” is not in our vocabulary. If it is possible… we will make it happen.

Specialization

We pride ourselves on being a "one-stop shop" for ALL of your wedding and event needs! We are dream developers. Another of our specialties is Italian confetti – NOT Jordan almonds. These are the original Italian confetti that are now covered in chocolate with all different types of flavors such as cappuccino, pistachio, delizia al limone, sfogliatella, etc. We have partnered up with Amore Mio Confetti who has exclusive rights to import this product into the United States. It offers a delicious unique experience for your guests. We probably sell as much Confetti as we do invitations! As this tradition originated in the Italian and Greek cultures, it is a wonderful blessing and tradition that can be enjoyed and appreciated by any nationality. Who doesn’t need a blessing in this day and age?

Company History

In August 2000, we started in a small storefront as event planners... which soon after developed to invitations... then favors, then accessories... and the rest is history!  Now we are a full one-stop shopping experience in a beautiful double showroom.

My youngest daughter actually came up with the name Fairy Tale Affairs when she was only 5! We’ve always been into Disney movies – and we still are. When we were trying to think of names, Taylor just blurted out Fairy Tales. And we thought it was perfect! 

  

FAQs

Q: Can you do this? A: We always say yes! Q: Can I change my mind or design? A: Yes! We actually encourage it! Q: How much do invitations cost? A: That is a loaded question… as there are so many contributing factors. Such as quantity, paper, weight, type of printing, layering, embellishments, type of mailer… the list goes on. That’s why an in-person meeting is so exciting… the development of your dream invitation is born in this moment. Q: How much does it cost? A: It depends on what you’re getting. We work with all different budgets. We have a custom in-house design team that is included at no additional cost, for whatever you dream up!

Personal Hobbies

Besides our love of family and creating beautiful things… our other interests differ dramatically between Dezi and I. I love to travel. I actually live part time in Italy, and I go back and forth. Dezi loves hiking and nature – pretty much anything outdoors, and she is a huge foodie. She’s an adventurer, full of energy and fun… always on the GO! While I’m more of a city person…I love fashion, culture, the sea, music and taking things day by day.

We loved working with Dezi and she was very accommodating! The seating chart was gorgeous and fit my rhinestone look! We got espresso cups with heart handles for our favors and those were a huge hit for our very Italian families!
