I can't say enough wonderful things about Lindsayand Katie. They were hands down one of the BEST decisions Ryan and I made regarding our wedding. Being a couple for nearly 10 years, engaged for over 2.5 years, hosting nearly 300 of our closest ...family & friends, and planning a California wedding from Chicago, the bar was set extremely high for an already momentous occasion! We researched and only considered the top wedding planners/coordinators we could find. After a year long experience with Lindsay and Katie, there is no doubt as to why Bliss Productions is ranked as one of the best of the best. On our initial phone conversation with Lindsay, she was genuinely warm, kind-hearted and personable, yet exuded the highest levels of professionalism, creativity, organization and expertise we were looking for in a coordinator. Throughout our year long process, Lindsay and Katie continuously kept in great contact, providing us with the ideal amount of email updates and phone conferences that kept us up to date without feeling bombarded, stressed or overwhelmed. And even though they had many other clients who kept them busy as well, they always made us feel like we were the only priority. I know I brought a number of challenges to the table since I am a very particular ("perfectionist") and had big hopes and dreams for our wedding, but wasn't the best in communicating or showcasing my "vision." Somehow, Lindsay and Katie just "got it" and took what little I had to offer and created the most spectacular and amazing day I could have ever imagined and more! With our venue being a complete blank canvas, they pulled off what I thought would be nearly impossible, and our wedding turned out to be one of the most beautifully breathtaking, magical and utterly fantastic days of our lives. Every single detail from the chairs, tables, cups, plates, forks, linens, floral arrangements, place cards, and so forth was the epitome of perfection. We've received nothing but the highest compliments and praise on how beautiful and wonderful everything turned out and we know it was thanks to the talents and hard work of Lindsay and Katie. Katie is seriously an all star for doing so much of the grueling leg work-- researching, contacting and following up with the (many, many) numerous vendors we used for our event. We greatly appreciate her and all of her dedication. The day of the wedding I felt like we were in a world of our own and didn't have a single care or worry at all! Lindsay, Katie and the Bliss team ensured everything was timely, ran smoothly, and flawlessly executed. They were both so extremely sweet and thoughtful enough to always ask how we were doing/feeling - making sure we were all smiles all day. Even when I was having a slight freakout before the ceremony, Katie was a wonderfully calming presence and reminded me of how great its going to be marrying my best friend and gave me that to focus on rather than all of the excess noise running through my mind. They also managed to help Ryan pull off a special surprise late-night snack that I thought we had to remove from the reception (due to budget limitations)! I'm not sure how they managed to do it all, but it was sheer magic! They took such great care of us from start to finish, and we are eternally grateful for all of their hard work and efforts in creating the most gorgeous and memorable wedding day for Ryan and I. With Lindsay and Katie's help, Ryan and I truly had the best day ever! Thank you both!
