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!

We chose full…read moreservice planning which allowed us to email, meet and plan with Catherine as often as we wanted during that year. She is attentive, experienced and allows for your ideas all while setting proper expectations during the planning phases. I was able to have the wedding of my dreams with her backing me up and coordinating the best of vendors in the PNW. Not only does Catherine (and Bridal Bliss) have great connections, they have a remarkable reputation, and your other vendors (including your venue) will smile a smile of relief when they know they are the ones backing up your magical day. To have access to incredible vendors, a sincere planning team and a remarkably memorable event, get on Bridal Bliss's books!! XOXO

My husband and I decided to get married in Cannon Beach, Oregon and had booked our date and venue…read moreover a year in advance. After a few months of trying to plan and coordinate everything on our own, my husband brought up the idea of hiring a coordinator. To be honest (and this will be no surprise to Carolyn), I was hesitant because I was trying to keep our wedding budget as low as possible and didn't think our wedding would be that complicated. But let me tell you, SHE IS WORTH EVERY PENNY and we have absolutely no regrets. We are so incredibly thankful that we found Carolyn because she is Wonder Woman! Not only is she an absolute expert about Cannon Beach weddings/venues/contacts, but she made the entire process as easy as possible for us by taking many things off of our to-do list and tackling them herself. Carolyn quickly grasped our vision and understood the aspects of our wedding that we did not want to be "traditional". We highly recommend choosing the Full Wedding Planning Package and could not imagine pulling off our perfect day without her and our regular check-ins. Carolyn was organized, kind, humorous, and at the end of the day, got things done. She always made herself available, whether it was planned or last-minute. On the wedding day, I encountered a slight dress malfunction...and Carolyn immediately came to the rescue with her "emergency kit" and made it appear as though nothing ever happened. She always told us that if there are problems on our wedding day, we would never know about them because she would take care of it -- it certainly felt that way to us! We love Carolyn (to the point that my husband started tearing up when we were saying thank you and goodbye to her after the wedding because we had such a great experience)! Thank you for a wedding weekend that we and our guests will never forget! Hire her!

Lauren was instrumental in making our big day happen and go seamlessly. We are still so amazed, literally nothing went wrong. It was all perfect. The venue hunt was really really helpful too. We were having a lot of trouble narrowing down a venue, and they provided a huge amount of support showing us venues in our price range that met all of our criteria. We had been trying to do it ourselves for months to no success. This service alone was so so helpful! Trying to research ourselves using Google and the Knot and other wedding websites was no match compared to the wealth of knowledge and experience that YPB had to offer. The planning meetings we had with Lauren beforehand were also so super helpful and crucial. They helped us stay on track making sure we got everything done by when we needed to get it done as well as helping us not forget anything. YPB provided so many great resources for planning. And Lauren was able to answer all of my millions of questions that I had. The day of, Lauren and her assistant were amazing at their jobs. They were so calm and professional. There was a couple last-minute schedule changes we wanted to do and they totally crushed it in seamlessly making it happen. They kept us fed and hydrated and happy, gave me bandaids for where my shoes were hurting my feet and kept us all on schedule. I had so many anxieties about the big day because I've heard so many stories about things that go can wrong and I had just accepted that was something go wrong. But now I'm just convinced they just didn't have a good wedding planner!! If you're debating at all, I would say if you want to have a wedding of your dreams, then 100% higher YPB to help.

From thinking of every logistical consideration I would never have thought of in a million years, to providing the most useful resources and high-quality vendor recommendations, to setting up the reception venue more beautifully than I could have dreamed of, to so much more.

Any change to the seating chart or last-minute thing I threw her way, she took in stride. I cannot thank Alicia and the YPB team enough for bringing my dream wedding to life!!

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.

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.

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!!!
