Blissful Events

t had never done weddings before. Together with Samar we were responsible for every detail. Thanks to Samar's careful planning nothing was missed and the day went perfectly. There were no missed details, and thanks to her presence we were able to enjoy every moment of our day as participants rather than planners. A few things I'll highlight that were amazing/helpful: 1) Samar has developed a well-tested wedding planning toolkit which we used extensively. There definitely would have been missed steps without this, and without her careful review of our plan. 2) Samar offered creative solutions to problems we didn't know how to handle. For example, the spot we wanted to get married on had a big burn mark in the grass from bonfires. We had no idea what to do about it. Samar came up with the perfect solution: use a square of sod to cover it up! Cheap, effective, and easy to do. 3) Samar helped us coordinate several different vendors, meaning I didn't have to think about it at all on day of. That was an enormous relief. 4) Samar kept her cool all day. Everything felt totally under control. She even indulged me by texting me photos of the reception area set up so that I could see that everything was going exactly according to plan. 5) Samar arranged for a bottle of champagne and clean room to be awaiting us at the end of the night. I didn't realize it, but coming back to an ordered little sanctuary at the end of that amazing day was so important. On top of all of this Samar was responsive, friendly and just generally fun to work with. I couldn't recommend her more highly, and have already passed her name along to several good friends who are engaged. You will be in great hands with Blissful Events!!

ow I tell everyone it is a necessity. She made our daughters day perfect and trouble free.

less and memorable, and make sure you have nothing to worry about.

listening to me!!! I felt like most of the coordinators I spoke with were pretentious and all about themselves. Not Samar though, she wanted to hear about my vision and how she could help me. She was easy going, but super professional. She was great about keeping me updated and was always there when I needed her. I highly recommend Samar! She will make your wedding happen exactly how you vision. The girl gets things done!

MAZING. I had so much fun meeting with her before the wedding during the planning process. She was incredibly helpful and always had wonderful ideas. Her warm, bubbly personality was a pleasure to work with, and she worked SO well with all the other vendors at our wedding. At the last minute, our weather forecast changed and it appeared that we would have a rainy wedding. The morning of the wedding it was pouring rain. However, Samar was attentive and flexible and ready for everything. I did not have to worry about a thing the day of my wedding, and I was able to simply enjoy the entire day with my husband. During the reception Samar checked in periodically to remind of things like cake cutting, etc. and to keep people where they were supposed to be, but she was so kind and relaxed about it. Everyone had wonderful things to say about how on top of it, yet calm Samar was. The sun ended up coming out just in time to dry everything up and make a beautiful appearance at our wedding. Our day was a dream come true, and we simply would not have been able to enjoy the day like we did without Samar's help!

husband and myself consider Samar a friend as well as our wedding planner! s&j

es for her weddings. We'd recommend her to any bay area bride!

she needed from us. Come wedding day, she and Elizabeth were wonderful. As far as I knew, the wedding went off without a hitch—which means they did an excellent job :) They were polite and unobtrusive, yet managed to orchestrate all the components smoothly and on time. Do yourselves a favor and hire Blissful Events.

y difficult to plan a wedding on the West Coast while living on the East Coast, especially when you can only fit in one 3-day visit during the entire planning period! Luckily, Samar made sure that everything came together perfectly. From our initial meeting with Samar, she really understood the vision for our wedding. As our planning progressed, I never felt nervous about our timeline or our budget. Samar seemed to have it all under control. She works efficiently and calmly which really helped us to feel secure and confident through the whole process. When my husband and I came to California for our one in-person planning weekend, Samar set up numerous meetings with a host of amazing vendors while also leaving time in our schedule for us to enjoy California. In that short time frame, we came away from the weekend with a florist, caterer, cake baker, venue, and unlimited excitement for the wedding. On the day of the wedding, Samar flawlessly coordinated everything and everyone while making sure everything stayed on schedule. When lipstick accidentally fell on my dress, Samar was there with an “emergency” kit to fix it! She literally does it all. My husband and I did not have to worry about a thing. We were able to enjoy ourselves knowing that everything was in Samar’s more-than-capable hands. In addition to being a great wedding planner, Samar is a great person to work so closely with for months. I am happy to have made such a great personal connection with Samar and look forward to being in touch with her for years to come! I honestly can’t think of one aspect of our wedding that I wish we had done differently. It was like a dream, and we have Samar to thank for making it happen! If you are looking for a wedding planner, I would highly recommend Samar!

that day we didn't have to think about anything, knowing Samar was taking care of all the details and making sure everything was in place and ready to go. I'd recommend her without reservation, she will always have a sweet spot in our hearts.
