We highly recommend Bliss Events. Korie was absolutely wonderful to work with. She recommended amazing vendors, kept us all on track, and responded quickly to all of our concerns. ...
She listened to our needs and made things happen. She ended up organizing our rehearsal dinner, welcome party, and wedding. All of which were perfection! It was the most magical weekend of our lives! If you are looking for a company to take some of the burden off of your plate and for your wedding to go smoothly, Bliss Events is the one and Korie is a gem!
Korie was amazing to work with! Her communication, organization, and attention to detail made the entire wedding planning process seamless and stress-free. She recommended wonderfu...
l vendors and had great relationships with them, which made everything run smoothly. The best part was receiving a bunch of photos and videos from Korie the very next day! Such a sweet, thoughtful gesture that shows how much she genuinely cares about her couples. We’re so grateful for her and couldn’t recommend her enough!
Hiring Ashley from Bliss Events was easily one of the best decisions we made during our entire planning process. We chose the 4–6 week coordination package, but Ashley went above a...
nd beyond from day one, offering helpful and attentive guidance throughout our entire journey. She provided incredible vendor recommendations tailored to our budget, aesthetic, and vision, promptly answered every question, attended our tasting, and walked us through every single decision with expert advice. Even prior to the wedding day, our other vendors commented that she was the best coordinator they had ever worked with!
When the big day arrived, Ashley truly saved the day. Right as I went to step into my dress, I noticed the inside was completely ripped. Without hesitation, Ashley remained completely calm, stepped in, and pinned the entire dress so perfectly that you couldn't tell anything had happened before our first look.
Her timeline planning was flawless. She balanced our photo schedule seamlessly while prioritizing our time to actually celebrate and enjoy with family and friends. Every detail was executed perfectly, and the flow of the entire day felt completely effortless. To top it off, at the end of the night, she carefully and neatly packed up all of our decor items. Walking into the next morning without having to worry about sorting items or figuring out who was taking what made our post-wedding experience so relaxing.
If we had to do it all over again, we would choose Ashley every single time. We cannot recommend her and Bliss Events enough!
Rachel is the BEST. She did my sister's wedding back in 2017 and my family wouldn't let me even consider using anyone else. After one call with her I realized how very right they w...
ere. She saw our vision and helped us execute flawlessly - nearly every vendor we worked with was a referral from her, and we couldn't have been happier with how every detail turned out. She also kept us organized, helped us prioritize to stay within budget, liasoned with our vendors so we didn't have to, and was an absolute joy to be around the whole way through (especially on the big day!!). She also always made us feel like a priority which I'd imagine is no easy feat in this industry. She made the whole process seamless and really kept our stress at bay. Couldn't recommend her more!
We recently used Bliss Events for our wedding. Ashley was absolutely incredible and truly one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning, she was responsive, organized,...
and always quick to answer texts, emails, and questions throughout the entire planning process, which made everything feel so much easier and less stressful.
On the wedding day, she was completely in control. She kept us on time, handled everything behind the scenes, and stepped in before we even had to think about anything that felt overwhelming.
She took the time to get to know us as a couple and made sure our vision was understood and executed. She made us feel supported, taken care of, and able to be present for every moment. Our families and bridal party couldn't stop talking about how amazing she and her team were.
We are so grateful and cannot recommend Ashley and Bliss enough. She truly helped make our wedding day perfect!
Korie of Bliss Events was absolutely amazing from start to finish! She was organized, responsive, creative, and always one step ahead. She made the entire planning process easy and...
enjoyable! Our wedding day was absolutely seamless. We were able to truly enjoy every moment knowing Korie had everything handled. She went above and beyond in every way. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Paige from Bliss was absolutely phenomenal to work with for our wedding at L'Auberge in Del Mar. Could not recommend her enough. Made our lives easier every step of the way, was ...
on top of everything, was patient, was kind, was fun to work with pre-wedding, and during the wedding. Honestly we were sad that our wedding was over in part because we no longer got to work with her and interact with her on a regular basis!
Korie was absolutely wonderful as our coordinator the past weekend. She was incredibly attentive and precise throughout the entire planning process, and on the day of our wedding, ...
she truly gave me peace. That sense of calm was so helpful, especially in a moment where everything can feel overwhelming. Thank you Korie for making my day so much better, you were the cherry on top!
What stood out most was how detailed she was and how confidently she knew exactly what she was doing. She had a clear plan, handled everything smoothly, and always knew what needed to happen next to keep the day running effortlessly. Most importantly, she knew our venue very well, had many years of experiences working at Paradise Point so everything was just so fluid. Even though there were small hiccups here and there, Korie knew how to solve it without having to bother me. Thank you for making sure I felt at peace on my wedding day.
I would highly recommend Korie to anyone looking for a coordinator who goes out of her way to make sure all of your needs are taken care of. She made a huge difference and helped make our wedding day feel stress-free and well organized. Before my wedding, I interviewed a number of people and Korie stood out the most to me. I love that she is always so energetic and lively, I need that kind of person around me. Always nearby to make sure I was taken care of with whatever I needed. Thank you Korie for giving me a magical experience the past weekend, I can't thank you enough! :)
We could not recommend Korie enough! As we got closer to our wedding, it became more and more obvious just how much experience she has and how respected she is in the wedding indus...
try. Every single one of our vendors had nothing but amazing things to say about her, which gave us so much confidence going into the weekend.
Korie went above and beyond what we ever expected from a wedding planner. She met with us and our vendors multiple times, was incredibly organized, and made sure everyone was on the same page. At one point there was confusion over the table sizes available through the venue, and Korie personally went out of her way to rent the correct tables for us and make sure the problem was solved. That was the kind of thing she did throughout the entire process , if something needed to get done, she made sure it happened.
But where Korie truly shined was the day before and the day of our wedding. Everything ran SO smoothly. She handled every little detail with such a calm, positive attitude that we were able to completely let go and enjoy ourselves. She was somehow everywhere at once, solving problems before we even knew they existed. She even realized I might have enjoyed the reception a little too much and immediately made sure I had pizza in my hands, truly above and beyond the job description!
Looking back, we also really appreciated that Korie wasn't afraid to be realistic with us throughout the planning process. She has so much experience and genuinely wanted to make sure the ideas we had would actually work in practice. Once the wedding weekend arrived, we completely understood why. Everything came together better than we could have imagined.
Our wedding day genuinely could not have gone better, and so much of that is because of Korie and her team. We were able to be completely present and enjoy one of the best days of our lives because we knew she had everything handled behind the scenes. We are incredibly grateful for everything she did for us and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone planning a wedding!
Korie is phenomenal, from day one she kept us on track. The wedding was seamless or if it wasn’t it appeared to be because she is a true professional. Korie is a very kind person...
, very resourceful and able to provide amazing results. An example of her resourcefulness is the bride was having her girlfriends and family over to our house the morning of the wedding to get ready and I realized I didn’t have anything to really serve them. Korie came up with the most amazing mimosa charcuterie spread I’ve ever seen!! That morning was by far one of the best parts of the wedding week.
We worked with Korie Younger for our wedding in Carlsbad and simply put, we could not have pulled this off without her. Picking Korie was easy - she was the only planner we met wit...
h that we felt could match our energy and understood the creative direction of our big day. Any "problems" were resolved within a matter of minutes on-site and Korie made sure we were at ease and having fun. Her vendor referrals were top tier and one of the biggest perks to working with her. She has an elite rolodex and has built lasting relationships with some of the best in the business. Do not think twice about working with Korie and Bliss Events.
Working with Korie was an absolute dream from start to finish. She had so much experience planning weddings at L’Auberge, and from our very first meeting, we knew she was the perfe...
ct person to bring our vision to life.
She was incredibly organized throughout the entire planning process, and every detail was thoughtfully handled. On our wedding day, everything flowed so seamlessly that we were able to truly relax and enjoy every moment. The ambiance was absolutely beautiful, and the day was everything we had hoped for and more.
We are so grateful for all of Korie’s hard work, dedication, and attention to detail. She made our wedding day feel effortless, and we couldn’t have imagined it without her. Thank you, Korie, for making our special day so unforgettable. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional wedding planner!
We worked with Paige at Bliss Events for our wedding at the San Diego Botanic Garden, and she was a superstar! We hired her as a month-of coordinator, but she was such a help from ...
the moment we hired her. She took a huge burden off our shoulders, and was a great resource from the beginning giving us tools, recommendations, a timeline, and answering any questions we had during the planning process. As we got closer to our wedding date, she did a fantastic job coordinating between our venue, all of our vendors, and us. She did a great job working with us and with other vendors to keep us on budget and helped us pull off some DIY tasks. On the day of the wedding, she handled everything perfectly, managing the set up, tear down, timeline, coordination between vendors, and kept everything on schedule, so that we could focus on enjoying our big day and being present.
We would highly recommend Bliss Events, especially Paige, to anyone looking for a month-of coordinator that can help you plan your own wedding, and take everything off your hands for the actual day.
Paige from Bliss Events was a godsend! She was on top of EVERYTHING. Things we wouldn't have even considered. She got us organized and moving along to our big day which couldn't ha...
ve gone smoother, in very large part due to her and her team. My wife and I are both professional musicians - we have seen it all. Our wedding had a ton of moving parts and all came off without a hitch. Worth every penny!
Bliss was recommended to us by a fellow musician who has worked a ton of weddings with them - thank you Bobby Cressey!

inning, she was responsive, organized, and always quick to answer texts and questions throughout the entire planning process, which made everything feel so much easier and less stressful.
On the wedding day, she was completely in control. Anytime things felt even slightly overwhelming, Ashley stepped right in and handled it before we even had to think about it.
She made us feel supported, taken care of, and genuinely able to be present for every moment. We are so grateful for everything she did and cannot recommend her enough. She truly helped make our wedding day perfect!!
Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of—and that’s entirely thanks to our incredible wedding planner, Korie and Bliss Events. From start to finish, she was the calm, organized...
, and thoughtful presence that made the entire experience feel effortless.
Every detail was handled with such care and intention. The timeline flowed seamlessly, nothing felt rushed or chaotic, and somehow she anticipated our needs before we even realized them ourselves. Her level of organization is unmatched, and it gave us the ability to truly relax and be present on such an important day.
Beyond her professionalism, what really stood out was how genuinely invested she was in making our day special. She brought such warmth, positivity, and attention to detail that everything felt elevated and personal.
Because of Korie and her team, our wedding wasn’t just beautiful—it was stress-free, smooth, and full of joy. We’re so grateful for everything she did to make our day unforgettable. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Korie from bliss events was absolutely incredible! The day was magical because of her. My 92 year old mom magically appeared at the reception area, umbrellas magically appeared wit...
h unexpected rain, the 3 year old ring bearer wore his glasses when told by Korie he was invisible with them on. Armed with a walkie talkie and creativity korie made the day magical. The wedding was for family but Korie is now a part of ours. Can not recommend her enough!!
Every bride deserves a Rachel on their wedding day! I was stressed about my wedding day logistics and managing all the vendors, but Bliss Events made our lives so easy. They are so...
competent, professional, experienced, and kind. I couldn't believe how smooth everything went on my wedding day. Rachel was a comforting presence and I was so relaxed knowing she was on top of everything. Her assistants were also so wonderful, consistently asking me if I needed anything. I promise you will love working with Rachel and her team!
Words cannot adequately convey our appreciation to Rachel Welland for making my daughter’s wedding day a dream come true.
It was an absolute pleasure working Rachel. We hired he...
r as a month-of coordinator, but she went far and above that title. She answered every question and request we had promptly, efficiently, and cheerfully. She made the process easy and fun. Because she took the time to get to know my daughter and her wishes, Rachel's vendor recommendations were outstanding. We were beyond thrilled every single person she recommended to us.
We had an unexpected death in the family the day before the wedding, which was obviously heartbreaking and difficult. As I was trying so hard to hold myself together, it was a comfort and a relief to know that I didn’t have to worry about anything wedding-related. I knew we could count on Rachel to make everything perfect, and she did.
I was also very impressed with Rachel's assistants on the day of the wedding. Not only were they capable and helpful, but they were also kind, cheerful, and fun.
Wish I could give Rachel and Bliss Events 100 stars, they are amazing!
My now husband's family is from the Southern California area, but my husband and I were living in North Carolina while planning a wedding in San Diego. I was getting so frustrated ...
with planning and finding a couple of my last vendors and our venue required a wedding planner. In the end, we got a recommendations for Bliss Events from our venue and I am so happy that we were able to work with Rachel from Bliss Events!! She had great recommendations for the last couple of vendors and really helped with all of the details, timelines, and coordination of the vendors perfectly. She gave amazing recommendations about how the event should flow, was super organized, and on the day of the event she made sure everything ran exactly as planned. I trusted Rachel so much that the day of the wedding I was so relaxed and was able to just enjoy the day! Looking back even if the venue hadn't required a wedding coordinator, I'd book Bliss Events in a heart beat. Cannot recommend them enough. We had so many quirky ideas for our wedding and Rachel was able to make it all work! Thanks so much Rachel and Bliss Events :)
It was both our second weddings and we wanted it to be special and truly "us". A destination beach wedding at The Del Coronado calls for only the best in wedding planning even if i...
t was a wedding for 60! Korie from day one was like our family. We touched base on our vision, what we wanted, and incorporating my teen children. Korie not only helped us choose some amazing vendors, but supplied some great ideas for activities on the Terrace for our day as well. We worried about nothing on our day and everything ran seamlessly from start to finish. Korie has little touches that are personal along the way you just don't find elsewhere. Korie and the Bliss team will be our top recommendation to anyone who asks.
We feel so lucky to have Bliss Events as one of our trusted partners here at Paradise Point Resort. It’s always such a pleasure working with Rachel, Korie, and their amazing team! ...
They’re consistently organized, punctual, and calm throughout the entire planning process. Their attention to detail and clear communication make every event run flawlessly from start to finish. They keep everyone on schedule and remove all stress from the day, which is no small feat! It’s a true joy working with a team that knows their couples so well and brings such positive energy to every celebration. We’re always thrilled to partner with them and highly recommend Bliss Events to any couple looking for a seamless, stress-free wedding experience.

I don’t know how people plan a wedding without Korie and her team! Working with them was truly an incredible experience. Everyone I know who got married before me warned that weddi...
ng planning would be stressful, chaotic, and overwhelming—but my experience was the complete opposite.
From start to finish, the process felt easy, organized, and genuinely exciting. I trusted Korie completely; she understood our aesthetic perfectly and made the entire vision come to life. I felt so comfortable letting her make choices for me, even when I wasn’t sure what I wanted myself.
She also connected us with the best vendors, all of whom made our day absolutely amazing. I can’t thank Korie and her team enough for making our wedding not just beautiful, but enjoyable every step of the way.

d her experience was evident. She had phenomenal vendor recommendations (who all spoke so highly of her!), would help review our contracts to see if there were any additional items/considerations we should ask for, gave us an awesome checklist so we felt confident nothing would slip through the cracks, and had incredible insights as we were making decisions on the feel and format of our wedding. She was always super responsive and willing to hop on a call. Our wedding day was so beautifully executed by Ashley and her onsite team so we could truly enjoy it with our closest family and friends. I highly recommend working with Ashley and Bliss Events – she truly helped us plan the wedding of our dreams!

control. She recommended tons of vendors, made incredibly detailed timelines, reviewed our contracts, coordinated with our vendors, talked to us on the phone repeatedly, gave advice, etc.
On the wedding weekend (Rachel and her team helped us with both our welcome dinner and the wedding day itself), they really went above and beyond. From driving to my grandma's house to pick up items, to fixing our flower arrangements, to continuously reminding us to eat - we honestly felt like I was able to enjoy the day 100% without worrying about any logistics.
So, so grateful for having such an incredible team for our wedding!

hel is the definition of detail-oriented, organized, and knowledgeable, every step of the planning process was smooth, stress-free, and actually enjoyable because of her guidance.
She kept everything on track and communicated with us clearly and consistently, making sure we never felt overwhelmed. Her timeline, vendor coordination, and eye for detail were flawless. On the day of the wedding, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Rachel had everything under control, and we were able to just relax and enjoy our day.
If you're looking for a wedding planner who’s professional, supportive, and truly passionate about what she does, Rachel at Bliss Events is the one. We can't thank her enough for making our day so magical!
Bliss Events was an absolute DREAM to work with, and our wedding planner Korie Younger was PHENOMENAL!
Korie is fabulously talented: organized, efficient, professional, determine...
d, attentive—all while being incredibly warm and supportive. Her 20 years of experience are apparent in every aspect of her planning and execution.
We were so comfortable with her right away. I loved how from the very first interview she showed us an example of what her organizational system looked like: personalized Google Sheets for every client with everything they need to know all neatly arranged in one place. Amazing peace of mind for the Type-A bride or groom!
Korie also has wonderful working relationships with all the most incredible vendors. Her recommendations really helped us to form the best, most cohesive team. Everyone, from our photographer, videographer, and DJ, to our florist, bakery and string quartet, took the most excellent care of us. She knows the best of the best and it created such a smooth atmosphere because of their experience working harmoniously together with Korie.
Her management skills on the day of our wedding really blew us away. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing because she was the point of contact for all questions and it allowed us to fully savor the moment.
Korie the kind of thoughtful that goes above and beyond. At the end of the night, she topped everything off by making no less than 6 wagon trips (by herself!) to bring 10 of our reception flower arrangements, and hundreds of rose petals to decorate our wedding night suite for the most beautiful, romantic welcome ever.
I could not recommend Korie and Bliss Events more highly. They truly gave us a fairytale wedding at The Del. Thank you for making my childhood dream come true!
Hiring Korie as our wedding planner was, without question, the best decision we made for our wedding. I want to be clear: if you're considering working with her, book her now. Here...
's why:
First, her vendor recommendations are exceptional. She has strong relationships throughout the industry and knows exactly who will deliver quality work within your budget. Every vendor she recommended was professional, reliable, and talented - saving us countless hours of research and uncertainty.
The planning process with Korie was seamless. She created a detailed timeline that kept us on track without ever feeling overwhelmed. She's incredibly organized but also flexible, adapting her approach to match our style and needs. When we faced decisions or challenges, she presented clear options with pros and cons, helping us make confident choices.
What truly sets Korie apart is her ability to enhance your vision while keeping it authentically yours. She suggested creative elements that made our wedding even more special, but never pushed her own agenda. She listened to our ideas and refined them with her expertise.
On the wedding day itself, her value was immeasurable. She handled everything - from vendor coordination to timeline management - with remarkable efficiency. Because of her, our entire family was able to fully enjoy the day without worrying about a single detail. When unexpected issues arose (as they always do), she resolved them so smoothly that we didn't even know about them until later.
Korie is exceptionally good at what she does, and it shows in every aspect of her work. She's direct, professional, and genuinely invested in making your wedding the best it can be. Most importantly, she delivers results. Our wedding was even better than we imagined, and that's directly because of Korie's expertise, dedication, and hard work.
If you want a planner who will truly have your back, keep you on track, and ensure your wedding day is exceptional, Korie is your person. I cannot recommend her strongly enough.
I know you're prepped to have something "go wrong" on our wedding day, but truly nothing went wrong on our wedding day thanks to Ashley & Bliss Events. We loved every single vendor...
she recommended and she made the whole process seamless. Made our wedding experience way less stressful and allowed us to truly enjoy the day and planning process.
WOW!! That is what you will be thinking the entire time you work with Ashley and Bliss Events. This team is like no other and will make your special day perfect. I truly could not ...
have done my wedding without them. They will keep you organized and make sure your checklist is complete. Thank you so much!!
PARTNER WITH KORIE @ BLISS EVENTS AND YOUR WEDDING WOES WILL NO LONGER BECOME A THING!
We had an absolutely amazing experience planning our wedding with Korie. Where do I even beg...
in! Let's be honest - planning a wedding is freaking stressful. I've planned many different events including huge corporate-related events and nothing beats the planning of your own "once in a lifetime" event. With that said, I just KNEW I had to partner with a planner that not only knew what they were doing but was also kind of OCD-organized like me. I'll tell you, my friends, after vetting 8 different planners, Korie came in the strongest for the following: 1. BUDGET 2. experience 3. approachiveness.
Out of the 8 planners, Korie was THE ONLY ONE who was able to visually share with me Google Excel templates and examples of how she would plan, keep track of, and explain in detail how she would keep us aligned throughout our wedding planning timeline. The other vendors, needless to say, only shared with me verbally "Oh yeah, we track things through Google Docs and Excel..." but had nothing to show me which only told me one thing - they had something to hide! Not Korie or Bliss Events. Transparency was the constant thing that was exemplified throughout our planning experience which allowed us to stay on top of it the entire way through, and all with a smile on my face. Suffice it to say I did NOT experience any bride meltdowns during my conversations with Korie.
From the start of the planning almost 14 months before the wedding, Korie was already setting up time to meet with me and begin those strategy conversations. Most "partial planners" would wait until the final 3 months to help you plan, but not Korie! Her goal was to have you pretty much ready to go 3 months before the wedding. That frame of mind is what reassured me that I was in the right hands. The month leading up to the wedding, Korie took it up a full notch by taking on the reigns and working directly with each of our vendors to ensure everyone understood their arrival and set up times as well as break down times. She also ensured that our transportation vendor arrived at the hotel to pick up our guests and drop them off at our ceremony location right on time! There were no shuttles or guests for that matter who took the shuttles who were late to our ceremony! On the day before the wedding, Korie partnered with our ceremony location day-of planner to coordinate the ceremony in a very organized manner. We were able to get through everything within the 1 hour allotted timeframe as well! Our entire wedding party complimented how well-organized and lovely Korie was.
On the day of the wedding, Korie went full send on wedding planning. Ensuring every single vendor arrived on time to set up and take care of us, even down to our hair stylist/MUA vendor. She also arrived early at our reception venue to drop off the items we brought down for the wedding and she and her team along with our vendors started setting up the venue accordingly. She also oversaw the other vendors, ensuring things were getting done and double-checking to make sure that the table decor was being set up properly. During the ceremony, she came in clutch as a backup photographer since we only were able to hire 1 photographer within our budget, and captured amazing photos of me before, during, and after walking down the aisle. During our reception, she continued to keep everyone organized by ensuring cocktail hour and reception needs were being met, including, coordinating my husband and I with taking photos at each table within a reasonable timeframe that also allowed for the both of us to eat and finish our dinner! Suffice it to say, our entire wedding timeline was met accordingly, all thanks to Korie.
We cannot thank Korie enough for all the hard work she has done to help us bring our wedding vision to life, while still having fun. If you're looking for an experienced, no BS, but fun wedding planner - look no further. Korie is here to the rescue.
Working with Korie and her team was hands down the best decision in the wedding process. There is not one part of my day that wasn't seamless because we were in such good hands. ...
The attention to detail, guidance, and professionalism was top notch. I have already referred her on and will continue to encourage brides to seek her out! Thank you Korie for making my dream day come to life!
I've been meaning to write this review since my daughter's August wedding! I can't say enough great things about Rachel from Bliss Events. We hired her to help with the last mont...
h and day-of details and she was so incredibly organized, professional, calm, friendly and helpful! She has a wonderful reputation in the business and every time we told a vendor that we were working with Rachel we heard "you are in GREAT hands! " And that was completely true! Every vendor that she recommended to us was amazing and all contributed to making our event exactly what we had hoped for. Rachel kept us on task and moving forward in the last stages of planning without adding any extra stress. On the day of she was so helpful, handling the little "emergencies" that arose with ease and we were able to focus solely on enjoying the wedding and our guests! I highly recommend hiring Rachel!
We worked with Korie from Bliss Events to plan our wedding at L'Auberge Del Mar. She provided full service planning since we were planning a wedding across the country. Korie is ex...
tremely detail oriented and her timelines and templates were very helpful during the planning process. She had close relationships with vendors and could quickly text them for fast responses whenever we had a question.
She was very experienced with the wedding venue and provided us with the vision of what would work for that specific location. The timeline was specifically tailored to fit the space.
Korie really shined during the wedding day with how she made our day as stress free as possible. Along with her team of assistants, Korie took care of every detail we thought of and more. She really knows how to keep the bride and groom focused on enjoying the day rather than worrying about the logistics. We really couldn't have done it without her!

We had a wonderful experience with Bliss Events and Ashley as our planner! We planned our wedding from afar and Ashley was integral in our process. She met with us early on to unde...
rstand our vision and to help break down what we would need to do for planning. She had wonderful vendor recommendations that aligned with our budget. She was extremely responsive when questions arose. In the last weeks before the wedding she was imperative for nailing down small details, and took care of all of the vendor coordination for us. Our wedding day went extremely smoothly because of her, and we enjoyed every minute of it. We would strongly recommend her to anyone in need of a wedding planner.
I truly cannot overstate how important hiring Rachel & Bliss Events was to the success of our wedding planning & the wedding itself. We engaged Rachel with the “Tying it all togeth...
er” package and added a planning meeting at the beginning as well. Rachel was available throughout the entire planning process to answer our questions and always had great insight to share. Once we got down to the wire, she was critical in finalizing conversations and details with our other vendors. At the rehearsal, she was critical in providing advice to our wedding party on timing, common mistakes etc. The day of the wedding, she ensured that everything went smoothly, reminded us of key moments, and was there for everything I needed. During the reception, Rachel asked if I wanted to change into my ceremony sneakers. I told her I didn’t think I could because I forgot to give her socks with the sneakers and she got me socks so I could dance my heart out!!!!!! It’s the little things that make all the difference.
Most critically, we assembled our core vendor team (Photo / Video, DJ, Officiant) based on Rachel’s referrals and recommendations and the quality of this group speaks louder than any words I could share. You always hear from people that “things will go wrong, you just roll with it”. The day & night of our wedding NOTHING that was plausibly in our control or the control of our vendors went wrong. Seriously, nothing. The night was BEYOND perfect and more than I ever dreamed of. This is entirely because of Rachel and the stellar team she put together. One of my favorite parts of the night was just watching the amazing time all of our friends and family were having and this is ALL a credit to Rachel and her team! Working with Rachel & Bliss Events is the best choice you can make wedding planning!
WOW! Ashley from Bliss Events is truly amazing!!! Right away from the first interview call with Ashley I instantly felt comfortable and confident that our wedding day would go so s...
moothly - and sure enough it did! Ashley was super responsive, gave us multiple vendor recommendations within our budget, and ultimately allowed us to truly enjoy our wedding day as she was the one running around working with all the vendors behind the scenes!
I don’t know what I would have done or imagine how stressed I would have been especially the month leading up to the wedding without Ashley! We had a sit down meeting to go over every single detail. She also was the one to reach out to each vendor and finalize the timeline! We just had to approve it! That was a huge relief and I had every bit of confidence that Ashley was going to make everything seamless.
We can’t thank Ashley and Bliss Events enough for making our day so perfect!!!
Korie at Bliss Events is an amazing wedding coordinator!
Throughout our many months of planning, Korie offered support, strategies, and excellent access to the best vendors. She ...
helped me solidify my vision for our wedding and absolutely formed that vision into a reality. Her skills, sensitivity, attention to detail, responsiveness and creativity made our wedding everything I hoped for and more.
On our wedding day itself, Korie and her assistants were front and center, handling everything, which allowed me to stay calm and truly enjoy the day. Korie kept the event running seamlessly and on schedule, and handled every little hiccup professionally and quickly, She even found time to capture some great photos and video to tide us over until the professional shots come in.
Truly the best!!!
Wow, Rachel is the best wedding coordinator out there! She is so organized, is very responsive to questions, and provides her opinion in a calm, kind, careful way. When she took ov...
er our wedding planning during the month of our big day, we immediately felt at ease, as she communicated with all of our vendors and guided us on what we still needed to get done. At the rehearsal and wedding, she was so great at leading our families and wedding party, especially our young flower girls and ring bearer who didn't know exactly what to do. Rachel worked tirelessly on our wedding day to make sure everything was running smoothly and all items were where they needed to be. It took a huge weight off of us! I very highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding. Thank you so much for all your help, Rachel!
Rachel has been absolutely phenomenal to work with in every way. When we first got engaged we thought we were going to plan our wedding ourselves. We ended up going with the tying ...
it all together package. Looking back for the type of wedding we wanted, we are so glad we had Rachel’s help as our seamless and perfect wedding day could not have occurred without her.
In the months before Rachel officially took over, she assisted in the communications with our venue’s representatives, provided us with invaluable vendor recommendations, attended our menu tasting to ensure all selections and questions were addressed and brought to our venue’s chef, and was able to answer any pressing questions we happened to have. All of this showed to us how easy to work with and how detail oriented Rachel was. More importantly, our interactions showed how much of an amazing person she is.
When our planned date for Rachel to take over operations began we got to see her in action. Rachel coordinated the logistical planning with our various vendors, helped us manage a minor contract dispute with another vendor, sent us detailed check lists of things we needed to have completed with updates, reminders if we were behind schedule on anything, itineraries for us and our families, timing and musical coordination for the events of the wedding, and was very communicative throughout the entire process for all parties who were to be involved in the wedding. All of this thoroughly put our minds at ease and helped reduce our stress since dealing with family and friends for a wedding is already stressful enough as it is.
The day of the wedding was no different from our excellent experience with Rachel we had thus far. She and her team were there to ensure everything was executed smoothly even when we deviated from the plan. On one occasion Rachel searched the grounds to bring us back to our guests when we had been taking extra pictures with our photographer during cocktail hour. She also made sure that I (the groom) did not miss my que in a song for the mother/son dance. We firmly believe that our wedding would not have gone as perfect as it did without the organization and hard work from Rachel. We have nothing but praise for all she did for us and would eagerly recommend her to anyone who is planning a wedding, whether they think they need a coordinator or not. Thank you again for helping make our special day so perfect. - Mr. & Mrs. Maddox
My now wife and I had always dreamed of getting married at the Hotel Del. We are both extremely busy business owners and Korie came highly recommended by our contact at the Del. I ...
was skeptical at first to have a wedding planner but it was required by the hotel and we had ambition plans for the event with little planning time. Throughout the process, Korie kept us on track, had great vendor referrals, and is overall an extremely organized and alpha personality--which is what we needed. There were times we disagreed but Korie is a master at disagreeing without being disagreeable. In addition, whenever there was a problem, she found a solution. The day of the event went off flawlessly. The run up to the event was actually low stress unlike many horror stories you hear about weddings. Korie worked tirelessly behind the scenes and knew what to do (or what to tell us what to do) at exactly the right moments. Her presence was felt but not at all a distraction. Even though we did not hire her for our afterparty, she stuck around to see through the grand entrance and coordinate the vendors we had setup. She embodies the definition of a dedicated professional and I would recommend her without hesitation to any friend or loved one planning a wedding or event in the San Diego area. The wedding was truly amazing and beyond words to describe. Thank you Korie and Bliss Events.

experience a dream.
I am highly picky and interviewed 8 different planners in San Diego and can say with confidence that Bliss / Ashley are THE BEST. It is so lovely to know that you can relax on your wedding day (and every day leading up to it) because someone like Ashley has your back.
Thank you so much Ashley and team!!!! Our wedding was everything we could have asked for and more. We love you!!
As a professional wedding photographer, I've worked with hundreds of wedding coordinators, but this is the first time I've felt compelled to leave a 5-star review. Rachel, the owne...
r of Bliss Events, is truly exceptional. I had the pleasure of working with her last Sunday, June 9, 2024, at the Coronado Island Marriott Resort & Spa for a beautiful small wedding with a Korean couple.
Despite the ceremony being in Korean, which I didn't fully understand, Rachel orchestrated everything seamlessly and beautifully. She was incredibly thoughtful, ensuring the couple had ample opportunities for stunning wedding photos without missing any part of their reunion, cocktail hour, or reception.
Initially, the couple booked me for just 4 hours, thinking it would suffice. Rachel, however, reviewed their timeline and advised them that they needed 6 hours of coverage. She then reached out to me to adjust the booking. This level of foresight and communication is rare and invaluable.
Rachel's organization and communication skills are outstanding. She always had people ready for group shots and ensured the couple could step away briefly for photos without missing out on their special moments. She even managed the vendor meals perfectly, pulling us aside to eat quickly and get back to work, unlike other coordinators who often make us wait until the guests are served, causing us to miss important moments.
Working with Rachel was a relief. Her ability to balance the needs of the couple, guests, and vendors is unparalleled. I highly recommend Rachel and Bliss Events for any wedding or event coordination.
