Blissful Moment Events

. It’s obvious how much she cares from the moment that you meet her. Before I started with her, I was completely overwhelmed. She took the reins and guided me throughout the entire process. Whenever I couldn’t make a decision, I fully trusted her to make one based on her experience and understanding of my vision for the day. I was doing a destination wedding for both of us - it was in Virginia, so she didn’t know the vendors in the area and I didn’t either. Even though I’m sure this made it a bit harder for her, I could never tell. She was always extremely prepared for meetings, researched all of the vendors thoroughly, and she would work to come up with a plan that was within my budget and my vision. I gained a bit of my life back when I hired her. On the day of, I didn’t need to think about literally anything. I didn’t even know what time it was for pretty much the entire day. Misty and Olivia worked with all of my vendors to make sure that we were on time and everything was set up how I wanted it to be. The day turned out to be stunning. They also managed to have all of the bridesmaids and groomsmen corralled and under control for getting ready and photos, which was no easy task. By the end of the day, everyone (including the single groomsmen!) who had spoken with Misty and Olivia said that they would be hiring them for their weddings, which is a testament to how enjoyable they were to be around and how well they handled everything that came their way. They managed to handle issues without missing a beat and without me even knowing, including a groomsmen missing their flight & not getting in until an hour before we started, a missing groomsmen shirt, and a bridesmaid who wanted everything to go her way (as well as probably more that I don’t even know about). They went above and beyond by handling an out of line, drunk guest with professionalism and kindness, which was more than I could have asked for. I was so extremely grateful to have them there for me and my now husband on the day. They allowed us to focus on each other and our memories throughout the day, instead of on logistics, planning, and everything else. I would absolutely recommend Misty, Olivia, and the Blissful Moment Events team to everyone. I was unsure on if I needed a full planning team, but they were by far the best investment that I could have made before the wedding as well as in the day of. If I ever have another large event to plan, I will be reaching out to them to see if they have expanded past weddings!

e planning process. They did an amazing job setting up our ceremony and reception. Unfortunately we were really disappointed with the day-of coordination. If you are thinking of a partial package, it’s worth being aware that it may not mean full coordination, even though our contract described services like full day wedding coverage and timeline management. An assistant was supposed to meet the girls while we were getting ready, but no one from the team came. I called to make sure everything was okay and was told they would meet us at the venue. When we arrived at the venue, Misty and her assistant were setting up which was great, but we didn’t have support once we arrived. There wasn’t anyone with us or the wedding party to help tell people what was next on the timeline before the ceremony started. The person delivering our ceremony chairs had not been told the correct ceremony spot. No one helped the wedding party line up for the processional, which was challenging because we have a big family and had quite a few people to organize. When guests arrived, no one was there to meet them and direct them to their seats for the ceremony. When it was time to do toasts, no one was around to start those and let people know that they were up next. After the reception, we asked for everything to be sent home with our moms, but items were sent with other people despite our instructions. When people showed up to take down our ceremony chairs, they mistakenly drove the truck onto the venue meadow, which got us in trouble with the venue. The venue had told the Blissful team to ensure that no one drove on the meadow, but the rule hadn’t been communicated to the chair guys and no one was present to prevent that. The next day, I emailed Misty to ask why we didn’t have full coordination or good timeline management. We were told that one team member couldn’t make it that weekend due to illness, so there were only two team members on site instead of three. I wish we would have been given a heads up about that so that we could have better prepared for less support. However, afterwards she said complete coordination wasn’t part of the package, even though our contract included what it described as “full wedding day coverage” and “timeline management”. Again, our wedding was beautiful and everything was set up perfectly, but the main reason we hired someone was to help with coordination and the people part of the day. Our venue required them to sign an agreement saying they would be in charge of all day-of coordination tasks, even down to small things like getting guests to seats. Misty apologized, but I’m still confused that set-up was the only focus when our agreement clearly described it as full day wedding coverage. I’m afraid I can’t recommend them for partial planning.

fires that popped up, they truly went above and beyond. We are so grateful we had Blissful Moment Events and can not recommend them enough for anyone needing wedding coordinating services!

g while still putting our guests first. Misty and her team went above and beyond the call of duty to pull off a truly beautiful day. The weather swung wildly between torrential rain and bright sunny skies; with each change, Misty's team happily pivoted and moved furniture, flowers, and staged tables in the garage just in case. By the wedding itself the skies cleared, and they were able to set up a truly beautiful reception in what had to be minutes. We did not want to spend a lot of money on flowers, so Misty recommended that we get our bouquets and one large arrangement from a florist and then purchase flowers from Costco and use whatever vases we had at the house. I was totally floored at the arrangements her team made! They looked as good as the (very expensive) arrangement from the florist we ordered. During the reception, Misty made sure that everything went off without a hitch. She designed a thorough timeline and shared it with all of the vendors. The timing between each part of the evening was perfect--no excessive waiting and also we never felt rushed. Our comfort was thought of continually; for example, during cocktail hour Misty made sure that one of her team members followed us around with a plate of the appetizers so we could actually eat the food we bought! At the end of the evening after we left, Misty made sure that my parents were not stuck cleaning up in the early hours of the morning. When we came back to the house the next morning, you would never know that there had been a massive party for 35 people there the night before. All in all, Misty runs a professional, upbeat, kind, and creative company. I would recommend her 110%, and if I had to pinpoint any one vendor who made our wedding spectacular, it would be her. Thank you for all of your help and for making our day truly magical!
