One Darling Day was by far my first choice when we started planning our wedding. I had followed her…read moreaccount on Instagram for some time before we were engaged and I loved how original, eclectic and intimate all of Claudia's weddings looked. We booked her early-she was our first vendor booked-which was the best call as I loved having someone I could go to to help me verify vendors, suggest design options, and answer other random planning questions throughout my 1 1/2 year-long engagement. Most notably was how Claudia handled the extreme weather that caused us to have to change venues, 2 days before our wedding. She very nimbly helped me translate our existing layout and communicate our decisions and preferences to the venue. I'm so thankful that she orchestrated an outdoor ceremony, which was my goal, and designed the most beautiful interpretation of my dream in a completely new space. Finally, Claudia was kind and lighthearted throughout the entire process, but has exactly the type of direct forward, take-charge manner that is so needed when coordinating a wedding! Claudia-thank you for everything! I already miss working with you!

We first spoke to Katie for an initial call and she was really knowledgable and friendly that I was sad to hear we would be working with another coordinator, but Emily happily jumped on a call to ease any worries I may have had. We went with the Month of Coordination service which allowed us to do most of the planning ourselves (most of our vendors were locked in early on, but MB provides a lovely list of vendors they've worked with in case it's needed). Emily had us fill out a very detailed questionnaire (you can tell they know what they're doing with the questions being asked) and went over every detail with us, including areas we were still figuring out. She was available for any questions I had as well leading up to the day, made sure to reach out to all of our vendors with the master timeline, and even provided some guidance for my cousin that was officiating for the first time. A big bonus is how many weddings they've coordinated at Walnut Grove that they're very familiar with the venue and the folks from Command Performance Catering. Emily led us through rehearsal the day before and made sure the actual wedding day went smoothly. She made it possible for us to focus on enjoying the day with our friends and family, but still keep on schedule with her gentle reminders.

We held our wedding at Walnut Grove and it was clear that Emily knew what she was doing, especially at that venue! I am definitely a more anxious bride and had many questions, emails, texts. Emily responded to each one with so much grace and expertise. Wedding planning can be isolating at times because there is so much to do - but I really felt like I had a partner in Emily. She was so responsive and enthusiastic! Her excitement and calm attitude carried me in moments I wanted to give up wedding planning altogether. On our wedding rehearsal - our bridal parties all remarked at how pleasant yet professional Emily was. She really made sure everyone knew what they were doing. Which was especially difficult because we had a bridal party of about 20+ people! On the day of the wedding, we had very strong winds (at an all outdoor venue) and I was blissfully unaware of the chaos occuring. But Emily and her assistant Katie handled the situation so well. Whenever Emily checked in with me regarding things that were not going to plan, she had so much confidence and peace that it was easy for me to make quick decisions. I can really say I was present throughout the wedding, and focused on getting married! Everything else, Emily handled so beautifully. I am forever grateful to Emily and Mia Bella Weddings and you will not regret having them on your vendor team!

Cynthia and the ladies at Bliss Is Events made it possible for me to bring to life the wedding of…read moremy dreams. That's no small measure. We started having conversations about our wedding a year and a half before the actual day. Cynthia was just as excited as I was about the small details and I knew then that I found the right person for the job. Through the months leading to the big day, she kept me on my toes to make sure that I had everything crossed off the to-do list. It helped to be accountable to another person to make doubly sure that everything goes off without a hitch. You only get one chance to get everything just right, afterall. The week of the wedding, Cynthia took full control of communicating with all of our vendors. She was a god-send! She organized and coordinated with everybody - I didn't have any headache to deal with. The day of our wedding, she and the ladies were the first vendors we saw as we were getting our hair and make-up done. I knew I had nothing to worry about. And I was right. Our wedding reception was amazing and beautiful!! And I credit Cynthia with getting all the details just right - it was more than I could have even imagined. Having her by my side throughout the wedding planning process was a blessing! I cannot say enough about her and the great job she did. Bride-to-be's, if you want the wedding of your dreams without the headaches that come with it, do yourselves a favor and contact Bliss Is Events. Cynthia will be your wedding-planning best friend, fairy-godmother, miracle-worker, and general/enforcer rolled into one! She's the BEST! :-)

So basically, it was not set up to handle a large amount of people (I had 180 guests). I had concerns such as where do we place the lights where they are most effective, and how do we get rid of all the trash, and where will the valet park all those cars? My wedding planning was a big headache. Luckily, Cynthia was able to foresee all those obstacles and more and help create a solution. -She always replied back with emails quickly, and with texts even quicker. -She was always highly professional and prepared during our meetings. -She was honest, and gave her opinion if something would not work out (unlike some vendors who promise too much and under-deliver). -She provided a great team to work with for the day of. -She provided more services than what was outside of our contract to make sure everything ran smoothly the day of. -She was even available after the wedding for follow-up questions that I had (wedding contract info, vendor info, random questions). There is always something that will go wrong with your event. No event is perfect, but with Cynthia, I felt that it ran as smooth as it possibly could have than with any other event planner. My husband and I highly recommend Cynthia as a wedding planner. I couldn't have done it without her and her team.

Carolina handle everything from the glam team to the last little details day of. Everything went so smooth, I personally enjoyed every minute of my wedding. I didn't have to worry about payments the day of or anything like that. She literally would give me ideas to see if that's where my indecisive brain was going. She handle a lot of issues we had with the venue, even guided me when I had questions about certain details about the day of. It wasn't for her, my day would had been a mess. Thank you Carolina.

I created and suggested day-of timeline from the perspective of the light and photography to help my couple and she was so kind and allowed it to be the one we went with.

She kept me in-the-know immediately every time something new was about to happen. She's approachable and friendly and overall, her easy-going personality made the day go smoothly. I hope we can work together over and over again!

Even though we needed her services just for the day of, she reached out from a month before to get on track with everything that was going on. She was on track with everything so smoothly. She took the initiative to take some tasks off of my hands. She met with me at the Sherwood Country Club and reviewed everything with me and the coordinator to make sure everyone is on the same page. She even got her sister, Terri, to help out for the wedding day! Terri picked up some items from my house that needed to be at the venue the day before. They were as helpful as can be before the actual day. On the day of, everything went so smoothly. She made sure the vendors were all in place. She even drove us in the golf cart back and forth to the photo shoot area. My mom's dress malfunctioned and she was able to help her sew it up. My bustles were a pain in the butt! Mindy and her sister literally crawled under there to bustle all the buttons up. And finally, at my reception, she would check up on me and my husband all throughout the evening to make sure everything is okay, and that my drinks were flowing! She was just wonderful to work with. She had a positive attitude and I loved her witty humor. The best of all with Mindy is that she gave her recommendations, but was never pushy about them! They were good recommendations. She would suggest things for the timeline, layout or anything else, but ultimately left it up to me to choose what I wanted to do and she was completely great about it. Thanks for everything Mindy and Terri!

My wife and I just wrapped our wedding with Heather and don't have enough words to express our…read moregratitude and how much we would recommend Heather to others! We met her at an open house for the LA River Center and our wedding was planned for April 2020. Well, covid and the universe had other plans for us but Heather wouldn't let that stop her and delivered big, skillfully navigating the craziness of Covid cancellations, postponements and pivots. Throughout the planning phase, Heather helped us navigate vendor selection, review contracts and had tons of best & worst practices to share with us. Plus, when I threw out a random idea or wanted a specific late night taco truck, she did her damndest to make it happen. We basically had our entire wedding planned, then rebooked at the LA River Center for April 2021. Heather helped us get all of our vendors to cooperate and switch the date, and then when the April 2021 wedding was cancelled she got them all to honor our deposits for "a party to be determined at a future unknown date and location". That location ended up being our backyard, and man was it a good party. For having rentals, flowers, dj, caterer, porto potty, photo booth, liquor delivery and all kinds of people in and out of my house, Heather managed it incredibly well and it was no where near as stressful or complicated of a process as it sounds. Over the 2 years of knowing Heather and planning all different versions of our wedding she is a friendly and charming person to work with. It was a pleasure getting to know her and having her get to know us and our quirks to have a wedding that truly reflected us. And let me tell you, the day of a switch was flipped and she was in the freakin' zone! She was everywhere at once doing everything that needed to be done and things my wife and I wouldn't have dreamed of. She would pop up out of nowhere with a plate of hors d'oeuvres and a drinks for me and my wife and next second she'd be handling coordinating with the staff to break down tables to free up the dance floor. She's awesome, incredibly well priced and worth every damn penny and more!

We originally hired them for day-of coordination, and Dominique was so sweet, responsive, and kind to work with. When our original venue cancelled, she immediately looped in Alexa, who reached out personally and spent nearly two hours on the phone with me--talking me through next steps, brainstorming ideas, and offering so much emotional support. That call meant the world to me during what was an incredibly stressful time. Alexa's calm, reassuring energy and genuine desire to help made me feel like we could handle anything. It's clear that this team cares deeply about their couples and goes above and beyond, even when things go off-script. I'd absolutely recommend working with them--you'll be in great hands!!!

I understand you had some staffing issues, but it's not right that we didn't have a coordinator until 2 and a half weeks prior to the wedding when we paid for a month of coordinator. Ultimately, we were given someone at 2 and a half weeks until the wedding on May 13th, and I don't think she was fully prepared for our day. We felt skeptical at this point, but it was too late to try and find a new coordinator and had to see it through. On our rehearsal day, Shannon was not able to direct our crowd, and instead left it up to us and our Wedding party to get everyone's attention and direct them with what she needed us to do. I understand the rehearsal is not supposed to be fun, but making me run my rehearsal isn't right. Throughout the wedding day, not only us but several people that were a part of the wedding were disappointed in the service we received. It started out with Shannon standing on the grounds, making it a point that she was not on the clock and would not answer any questions. Although he didn't have any questions for her, the Father of the Bride was told this by Shannon. I understand not being on the clock, but he wasn't going to ask anything, she was in the venue, and the rude comment was not needed. After the ceremony, there was an issue with the pizza truck being late. Shannon brought this to the Mother of the Bride's attention, and the MOB immediately called the pizza truck to resolve the issue. When she got in touch with them, the pizza company seemed confused. They said she had called once, not left a message, and brought it to the MOB to deal with. They also said they had received no confirmation call the day before our wedding just to double check that everything was still okay, which according to them, is common practice. When we were being introduced to the reception, Shannon completely forgot to arrange an introduction for the wedding party. We clearly had this on our timeline, and it was our MC that had to tell us that it was missed, and show on our timeline that it was there. All she said was that it wasn't on her schedule. We then had to send someone to gather everyone from the wedding party that was in their seats to come back for their introduction, while she did nothing. During cocktail hour, the DJ's speaker somehow stopped working. Shannon did not notice this, and instead I had to leave taking pictures to go find the DJ and get him to fix it. During dinner, we patiently waited as 4 tables went by to get their food, while we still had nothing in front of us. We had discussed Shannon grabbing us food before anyone else went to serve themselves, and eventually she did after we sat there and waited with no sight of her. During the dinner hour, the time for toasts was approaching. She let the Father of the Bride know we had 10 minutes until he started his speech, to which he pointed out that the champagne glasses for toasts had not been poured. We had discussed that the bartenders were going to be pouring champagne for everyone, but as the wedding coordinator you have to be the one to let them know when to start. The reply she gave to that comment was "well the bar service doesn't usually do that", even though we had discussed it in our meetings. Moving on in the night, the desert plates that were packed in the box labeled "Desert Box", were never put on the desert table. People were walking around with cannoli's and cake using napkins to hold it. In the same subject of missed items, she never handed out the bubble guns that we had packed in the "Grand exit" box. Somehow the small bubbles got handed out, and they were in the same box. For the cake cutting, the cake was left in the fridge right up until we were supposed to cut the cake. It was nearly frozen, making it nearly impossible to cut through. Throughout the night, it was noted by not only us but several guests that the assistants were off property on their phones. There was plenty to be done the entire night, and is a bad look when they were on the clock for something we were paying good money for. Overall, the team that you sent did not adequately handle our night how we expected for what we paid and the glowing reviews you have. I know you are someone that loves their business, and I hope you understand that this is not the level of service expected from a coordination team. We sent all of this information to the company, and they took no responsibility for any of the issues we had, but instead had an excuse for everything. If you want a Wedding where you feel the stress is truly taken off your shoulders, I would not recommend hiring this company.
