Bliss Events & Co.

Shannon was a complete lifesaver!! My husband and my mother and I were so overwhelmed with getting everything organized for our wedding, and we didn't have anyone other than ourselves to coordinate with vendors and make sure everything ended up where it should be the day of. Shannon was able to come in very late in the process, got up to speed and made it so we didn't have to worry about a thing on our big day! Everything went off without a hitch, and she was a joy to work with to boot! I HIGHLY recommend her!

Shannon is amazing! We couldn't have asked for a better Wedding Planner! She definitely knows all of the ins and outs of planning a wedding! She was accessible to the bride, groom, and the mother of the bride throughout the planning process! She gave helpful advice, shared helpful tools, and she has wealth of knowledge about the different vendors associated with a wedding. On the day of the wedding, Shannon and her team are organized and ready to make sure the event goes exactly as planned.

Shannon's detailed approach really helped my daughter and I coordinate who was doing what. when we let a couple of the vendor decisions wait too long, Shannon was able to step in and bring vendors to the table through a clearly vast network of professionals in the area. Her advice and support were invaluable , including the day of detailed timeline. She always kept her cool, responded quickly, and never admonished us for not acting sooner even when she had warned us we needed to act. The vendors she pointed us to were top notch professionals. I originally brought her in to consult on having the wedding in my large backyard, and she definitely pointed out some things I had not considered. The day went great and I so appreciate both Shannon and Kim (our day of coordinator).

I would absolutely recommend Bliss! Shannon is a top-notch event planner from start to finish. From organization, to managing timelines, to communication and last minute day-of details, Shannon is the BEST!

Shannon was our event director for our foundations Gala and was a huge help to us. She made our biggest event/fundraiser manageable and took a lot of stress off of our plate. We plan on using her again in the future.

Shannon has been exceptional in helping us with planning our wedding. She has a wonderful organizational layout that makes things so easy to keep track of and so easy for her to know what's important for us. Before meeting Shannon, I was in over my head trying to arrange meetings with potential vendors but Shannon stepped in and managed it so well. We are so excited about our wedding and working with Shannon on our special day!

Shannon and I was worked together on several events in the past so when it came to planning my wedding she was my first and only call! She has so many different options of how you can work together and really helped me through the whole process when I felt behind and when I felt like I was forgetting something. The day of… I can’t even explain how awesome it was to LITERALLY not worry about anything bc she knew the plan and had it all under control. It was amazing. 5 stars highly recommend!!!

Shannon was a wonderful resource throughout the entire wedding planning process. She’s very responsive, and was happy to weigh in on my thousands of little logistical questions. She also helped us come in UNDER budget and kept everything on time. Her organization and timeline software made coordination a breeze as well. And as a cherry on top, she handled all vendor communication in the last couple of weeks leading up to the wedding to help reduce my stress level. Highly recommend

Shannon has been an actual life saver during my wedding planning process. We live in California and are getting married in Louisville and had 3 months to plan... Shannon has kept me steady, taken SO much stress off, and I know the day going smoothly will be due to her expertise and involvement. I found Shannon here on the Knot and if you're looking for a super professional, responsive, kind, non-judgemental planner, Shannon is the one! Thank you for all you've done for us.

Shannon was on top of things for my wedding from the very beginning. She always responded to texts and emails from me quickly and always had a answer for when I needed something. She made my wedding run so smoothly from hair and make up all the way to the end of the reception I didn’t need to worry about a thing. It was an absolute joy working with her and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a wedding coordinator, she’s the woman for the job.

Shannon was amazing! She helped so much and made sure I stayed on top of what was needed, making my life so much easier! She helped with the timeline, contacting vendors, day of coordinating, you name it. I’m not sure if I could have done it without her!

Shannon was technically our day of wedding planner, but she worked with us for so many hours BEFORE the day of the wedding. Shannon is such a gem. For a very relaxed bride like me, Shannon kept me on task and set goals for me in a very patient way. She was incredibly supportive, and we did not have a single worry on my wedding day, or leading up to the day. We cannot describe how invaluable Shannon was in making our wedding perfect! We are so thankful for Shannon, her organizational skills, and her attention to detail. Bliss Events is the only way to go!

Shannon was my wedding planner and I loved every minute working with her! She was everything I needed and more. The process and entire day went smoothly. When it came to budgeting / finding vendors I loved, she delivered! Her attention to detail and work ethic allowed myself and my family a night to celebrate and not worry about the event itself! Thank you Shannon :)

I noticed Shannon at a wedding I was attending. She was making sure everything was perfect. I wondered who she was with and learned she was the Wedding Coordinator. I was very impressed and asked her if she would help us with our daughter's wedding in April 2022. Best money we ever spent! She was awesome and made things so easy, organized and less stressful for us both prior and during the wedding. I highly recommend her, you will not regret. Thank you Shannon Fehr!!

If you need a coordinator, Shannon Fehr is your girl!!! She made our day smooth, fun, flawless and beautiful! I can’t express enough how thankful I am to have her by my side throughout my wedding planning process! Shannon came highly recommended by a friend and she did not disappoint! She met with us on multiple occasions to go over plans, walked through our venue to help answer any questions we had. She makes the BEST day of timeline that all of my vendors loved! She’s extremely organized, determined and sweet person! Honestly, if you want your big day to go smoothly, I wouldn’t trust anyone except her! She is worth every single penny, plus thousands more! You will not regret hiring her!

Shannon is worth every penny! She was on top of everything and made sure that everything was covered up to the day and also made sure the day went smoothly. I would hire her again! Great job Shannon

My band Wax Factory recently performed at a wedding at 3rd Turn Oldham Gardens this past weekend and had the pleasure of working with Shannon Fehr from Bliss Events. Hands down the most amazing wedding event coordinator we have worked with. Excellent communication and a well organized timeline. The event was beautiful and the bride and groom were super happy. We look forward to working with Shannon again.

Shannon did a wonderful job helping our daughter plan her wedding. The week of the wedding we had a small set back and she took care of it and got the situation resolved. The day of the wedding she made sure the wedding stayed on schedule. Everyone has told us it’s the best wedding they have been to and how gorgeous everything was and the venue was amazing!!

Shannon did a great job keeping the wedding moving. She helped make the timeline and the other vendors know what was happening without bothering the bride and groom. She helped decorate and made sure the bride and groom where happy. When problems arose she handled them in a very professional manner.

Shannon was amazing to work with! Feel like I gained a sister through the process! She is excellent at her job and was highly respected by other vendors making things run so smooth! Could not have done it without her! THANKYOU SO MUCH!!!

I have worked with many wedding planners as a wedding photographer but Shannon stands out as one of the best if not THE best I have ever worked with. The day stayed right on track and she worked so kindly with the other vendors, I would 100% recommend her to my couples.

Shannon is so dedicated to her work and gives 110% to every detail. It was a pleasure working with her again.

Shannon is the best!!!

Shannon Fehr was AMAZING! She helped us make all our daughter's wedding dreams come true. She took on countless responsibilities to allow us to enjoy this very special day and made it all look easy. Shannon provided much needed guidance and referred other top notch vendors, saving us time and money! We definitely recommend hiring a professional BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE to help with your big event, and Shannon was the BEST!!

Shannon was AMAZING! She helped us make all our daughter's wedding dreams come true. She took on responsibilities to allow us to enjoy this very special day and made it all look easy. We DEFINITELY recommend hiring a professional to help with your big event, and Shannon was INCREDIBLE to work with!!

Melinda was AMAZING! She answered all of my questions and concerns leading up to wedding and was quick to respond. Our wedding would not have gone smoothly without her! She relieved me of so much stress!!

I can’t say enough good things about Shannon! It was so comforting knowing I could reach out to her with concerns or any questions I had and she would respond almost immediately! She was so easy to work with and so knowledgeable about anything wedding related. She kept me stress free and most importantly made our big day run smoothly! She brought all my wedding visions to life and took care of everything on the wedding day!

Melinda was amazing! She has a wonderful eye for design and helped with my fears and just organizing everything that was needed. She is a must have for a wedding!

Melinda was FANTASTIC!!! She was the first vendor we hired and it was the best decision we ever made. She was super easy to work and communicate with, and was there with me every step of the way providing so much knowledge & guidance. It was so comforting to know that I could reach out to her anytime with any question or concern via phone/text/email and she always responded promptly and helped me with whatever I needed. Her vendor recommendations and tips/tricks for helping me stay on budget were HUGE!! Without her I would have been a stressed out mess throughout the planning process. Melinda lives in Louisville and we live in & were married in the Lexington/Georgetown area, but she made a point to be at every vendor meeting and even came out to my house multiple times to plan. When our wedding day came she was totally on it and took care of literally everything. My friends/family and I didn't have to lift a single finger and were able to truly enjoy our special day. She made sure everything ran on time and seamlessly. This will be my only marriage, but, if I had to do it again, I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

Shannon was amazing! We live in Nashville and needed help to plan our wedding in Louisville - with guests coming from all over the country. She arranged for us to meet with multiple vendors on our first visit and they were all fabulous options! She made some difficult situations we encountered much easier and was in communication throughout the whole planning process. Thanks so much to Shannon for making our event such a huge success!! We never could have done it without you!!

My husband and I hired Shannon to help us plan our wedding at the Frazier History Museum in Louisville, KY. After our wedding this past August I can honestly say hiring Shannon was one of the best decisions (if not the best decision) we made in the planning process. While my husband is originally from Louisville, we currently reside in CA. Shannon made the seemingly insurmountable task of planning a cross country wedding feel easy, going above and beyond to coordinate arrangements and help us select absolutely amazing vendors for each area of our wedding. Throughout the process Shannon paid attention to all the little details and on our wedding day she worked diligently to ensure everything ran smoothly and was perfect for our special day (improvising when necessary and even enlisting help from her husband). I absolutely loved working with and getting to know Shannon over the past year and a half. We will definitely miss her and our regular interaction now that our wedding is over. If you’re looking for a talented, experienced wedding planner, who will go above and beyond to make your wedding dreams a reality, I would highly recommend going with Shannon.

Shannon was absolutely amazing she went above and beyond for us. I honestly don’t know how I would have got through wedding planning without her. She was with us every step of the way and was always in communication with us so I knew exactly what was going on. I can’t say enough good things about her!

I do not know what I would have done if it weren't for Shannon. She made our day absolutely flawless. I had every intention of doing every single detail by myself but I am glad I decided to hire her because she really made my day stress free. I had Shannon for 30 days out but she was so helpful and honestly started working with me WAY before the "30 days." We honestly couldn't have asked for a better coordinator.

Shannon Fehr was so helpful. We used her for the 30-day out services because we had done so much of the "big" stuff already. At first I really thought we did not need a coordinator - I was wrong!! We had a guest list of about 300 so she was very helpful with all the final details and the logistics of the rehearsal and wedding day. She met us to get items for the reception set-up and then coordinated with all the vendors to ensure the set-up was as we had discussed. The night of the wedding she worked with the DJ and photographers to keep us on schedule. She also took care of all the clean up and delivered our personal items to us the day after. She even handled small things that popped up - like finding seating for some of our family that got to the reception later due to pictures. She handled it quickly and helped smooth things over with them. She creates a google drive document that is then shared with everyone and is very helpful. It has the timeline, list of things to remember, music list, etc. all in one place. We very much appreciated all she did for us and she was easy to work with. Thanks Shannon!

Shannon went above and beyond for our special day! The moment I met her I knew that everything would be taken care of and with utmost detail. The weather turned out to be quite the mess for our outdoor wedding but Shannon handled it without a hitch. She coordinated our 10336467 vendors and went to plan B flawlessly. Thanks to her, I was able to enjoy the day and spend it with my family and friends rather than running around like a chicken with my head cut off. My friends, family, and new husband are all STILL raving about how hard she worked and how she truly made our day. She was in my corner every second of the way and I am unbelievably grateful. This is by far the most important aspect of our wedding and I am so happy that we reached out to her for her services. Thank you to Bliss Events and Shannon!

Shannon was fantastic! She was there to help us every step of the way. We had no hiccups on our day and couldn’t thank her enough. A wedding planner was the best decision to make and we picked the best one for the job!

Melinda was such a fantastic resource for the months leading up to and the day of our wedding. She had so many creative ideas that made our day special. I didn't have to worry about anything the day of because I knew she had it all taken care of. She went above and beyond on all of the planning. She is a joy to work with! She is also a travel agent and helped us plan our honeymoon. I cannot recommend Melinda highly enough.

Melinda at Bliss Events is an absolutely incredible coordinator and wonderful person! I ended up hiring Melinda at the last minute because of some unexpected changes and she came through 100%-- she took care of our timeline, floorplan, and even made a visit to our destination wedding venue to get familiar with it in advance. I planned the majority of our wedding, but felt that it would be helpful to have a day-of coordinator so that my family and I could relax and enjoy. Melinda made our wedding day go so smoothly and took all the stress off my shoulders. She took care of setting up and breaking everything down on the day of. She is so prompt and supportive in all communications. Highly recommend her!

Melinda was a godsend not only on my wedding day but the many months leading up to it. She dealt with all my crazy questions and ideas and was always enthusiastic and prompt with her responses. I had a few hiccups the day of regarding my venue and I wasn't bothered once throughout the day because Melinda was on top of it! She also sat with us and went through many, many honeymoon options and sent us on the perfect honeymoon!

Bliss Events is the best! I booked Melinda a year in advance and she helped me find the perfect venue and vendors. Everything ran smoothly the day of. I could not have done it without her! Highly recommend!

I could not imagine my day going so smoothly without Melinda. She arrived the night before and put up all of my decorations and showed up bright and early on wedding day. I had no worries the day of and was able to relax with my bridesmaids and soak in the day! Cannot recommend her enough!

Melinda was terrific! We (I) decided to hire her the last month before my wedding. (My mother was on the fence about if we needed it) My mother had helped with most of my planing and it was going well, but I wanted the freedom to enjoy my day with my mom and not to worry about what was going on at the venue. She did everything we were worried about, (including picking up all the kids meals from KFC for the 13 children that attended my wedding) She was organized and detailed and ran the coordination between our vendors on load in and out and during the event. As an event producer in New York City, it was really great to have a professional on my big day. My mother actually pulled me aside and apologized and thanked me for finding her. She kept everything on schedule and helped us give out the tips to vendors at the end of the night. Thank you Bliss Events and Melinda!!

As a very hands on bride, I wasn't sure we needed a wedding coordinator and my fiancé reassured me I had everything under control. So I spent the next 8 months leading up to the wedding getting everything perfect and organized and I had all the little details figured out. In July 2017, we were 3 months out and I started rethinking the decision. I read all kinds of horror stories about cakes falling apart, officiants missing, and crazy family members trying to take control. I decided I had invested too much time and energy planning everything to go perfectly for us not to have someone to see our plans through. I found Melinda through the Knot and she had great reviews. We met Melinda at our venue and as we did a walk through we met with the lighting specialist for the reception. She had a lot of great ideas and knew how to communicate what my vision was when I was at a loss for words. After talking to my fiancé, I convinced him I needed help and he finally got on board. The day of our wedding was a whirlwind. We had a few guests cancel the day before so we had to rearrange the seating chart and when I say "we", I mean Melinda. The place cards printed small and hard to read, so melinda marked every place card to help the servers know what food went were. She worked smart and fast. For our reception, I wanted the lights dimmed and candles lit on every table. I forgot to remind her and it was on my mind as we made our way to down to the reception. When we entered the room, it was PERFECT! Even though we had people constantly talking to us all night, I still found myself aware of the timeline we had spent so much time putting together. When I knew something was supposed to happen, I would look up and see Melinda already taking care of it. Fast forward to the day after our wedding, my husband says to me, "she was the best decision for our wedding and you were right". But the greatest part about hiring Melinda as our coordinator came the day after the wedding. We got home at 10pm and started packing for our honeymoon when we found out our flights had been cancelled. We were supposed to be at the airport at 5am the next day and we were in a bit of a panic. After we got over the fact we weren't going on the honeymoon we had planned, my husbands first reaction is "text Melinda" :) So we texted her at 11pm and since Melinda is also a travel agent, she spent the next few hours searching all over the world to find us a different honeymoon destination. We were on our way to panama the next day and she even helped us find our car transportation when we landed 4,000 miles always. If you're still thinking about getting a coordinator, stop thinking and book Melinda.

Can not say enough about Melinda, she was wonderful! She was on top of it all. Well worth the investment. Took the stress out of being the mother of the bride.

Trust me, you don't need a wedding coordinator. Our first meeting with Melinda went wonderfully. She seemed very personable and organized; however, as time went on, she seemed much less engaged. There seemed to be a real issue of over-promising and under-delivering. Melinda was unprepared for the final meeting with our venue and caterer. If you have a good DJ, he/she can serve as your day-of coordinator. Her services include a "detailed timeline" for the day which really only included timelines of when hair and make-up needed to arrive, and which we had to tell her to fix things on the timeline twice. The rest of the timeline we had to work with our other vendors to figure out what timing they had in mind. She then leaves the reception timeline up to the DJ. On the wedding day, she didn't call to make sure that hair and make-up had arrived and didn't show up herself until 4 hours after the day even started. She didn't ensure that all items were gathered for the florist to pick up the next day and she didn't let us know where any of our personal items were after the wedding. We did not even get a piece of cake at our reception, which seems to be something a coordinator should do. To our knowledge, she left the reception before it was even over. We had to work with the DJ to help him gather all of his items after the evening.
