The business has grown a lot from it's small beginnings in the owner's garage to having it's own warehouse, office space, and showroom in a little business park on Durham Road.

You can pick up, phone in, or order online, however large orders may need a little more time. Check them out for your next special event!

We were recommended Bridal Bliss by multiple sources, and they lived up to the hype. Our planner…read moreCandida was amazing! She was super responsive and helpful throughout the process, especially in the final few weeks leading up to the wedding. We did "partial planning", which still required work on our end interviewing and selecting vendors, but Candida was there to help when we needed it and provided tons of recommendations. On the day itself, Candida and her assistant Shelly handled a rainy outdoor venue and dozens of staff perfectly, and we didn't have to lift a finger

Catherine from Bridal Bliss was truly incredible to work with for Julian and I's wedding at…read moreWaverley Country Club on Saturday, July 26th, 2025. I was recommended to hire her through some of my mother's friends, and it could not have been more worth it. From the very beginning, she was kind, attentive, and took the time to truly understand our wedding vision - classic and timeless - and what mattered most to us. She was thoughtful and prompt in her communication throughout the planning process, making everything feel seamless and stress-free leading up to the big day On the wedding day itself, Catherine went above and beyond--stepping in to help when we needed it most (especially with our cake!)--all while maintaining such calm professionalism. She was always present without ever feeling intrusive, bringing a sense of ease to the entire day. Her eye for detail and artistry are remarkable, and she carries herself with such warmth, grace, and care that made Julian and I feel supported from start to finish. We are beyond grateful to have had Catherine by our side. She not only helped make our wedding day run smoothly but truly enhanced the experience with her compassion and dedication. I cannot recommend her enough to any couple looking for a wedding planner who combines exceptional talent with genuine compassion and an unwavering commitment to making their wedding day unforgettable. Thank you for everything Bridal Bliss and Catherine!

She was with us every step of the way.....bringing creative ideas, recommending vendors who could best provide what my daughter wanted, managing the budget and plan to ensure we were making the best decisions. Most importantly, the wedding was spectacular! Whitney took care of everything and ensured it exceeded all expectations....DJ, catering, floral, lighting, linens, ceremony.....all were terrific. My daughter was over the moon and many guests talked about it being the best they had ever attended. Much of that credit goes to Whitney.....and she is a joy to work with. If you need a wedding planner, I can't imagine one who would be better.

A second-person review, but valid, I believe. My nephew and his fiance just (two days, as of this…read morewriting) finished their wedding event. Having engaged Whitney from overseas, and having the added logistical complication of attempting to plan and coordinate the component wedding events via email, it's insufficient to say that Whitney managed to produce what turned out to be the perfect wedding. From planning through execution, the event was executed beautifully. Communication was excellent, any "hitches" were dealt with swiftly and with zero issues. All involved parties - and there were a LOT of us - were calmly managed by Whitney and because of that, we knew our roles to a "T". I don't know what her services cost but whatever they run, I've got to believe that they're worth it. For an event of this importance in your life, you can't go wrong working with Whitney.

I couldn't believe all the amazing details that went into the wedding. They not only handled each inch of everything handed to them with perfection but they also referred us to great vendors as well. We used Mobile Beauty Team for hair and makeup AMAZING! Floral sunshine for flowers and some others but I forget the names. Either way we were very happy and you will be too! They were quick with responding to emails and even quicker on the day of with everything. Thanks so much!

Knowing that this was going to be one of the most important days in our lives, we did a lot of homework and interviewed several planners. In addition to experience and strong references, the single most important factor to us was chemistry. Warm and genuinely caring, we connected with Carisa from the start and knew we didn't want to entrust our wedding to anyone else. The other factors we considered: 1) clear, reliable communication skills - including the ability to listen and really understand our vision and intention for the event; 2) strong organizational skills and follow-through; 3) established relationships with the best vendors; 4) clear design inspiration and passion; and 5) a game-day MVP who calmly directs the show behind the scenes and makes everything run smoothly. Carisa delivered on every criteria, and, in fact, exceeded our high expectations. It has now been over a year since our special day, and we still get compliments from our guests who tell us it was the best wedding they've ever been to! The whole experience was truly joyous and magical, and Carisa and the entire Adornment Events team were essential in making our dream a reality. The financial investment in hiring Carisa and her A-team to seamlessly orchestrate our big day was worth every penny, and we could not have done it without them. We cannot recommend Carisa and Adornment Events highly enough!!!

As the months grew closer to our wedding date, my husband and I thought it would be a good idea to ask for Jenny's help. I didn't budget for a planner so Jenny was nice enough to tailor our plan so we could afford it. I'm so happy the way our wedding day turned out. My flower lady forgot some accents for my bouquets and Jenny took care of it right away and everything was how I wanted by the time the ceremony started! If anything else happened, she took care of it and made my day seem so flawless. I'm so thankful for her and if you're having second thoughts on a planner, Jenny will not disappoint! Do it! :)
