Bridal Bliss

If you are looking for experienced wedding planners, who are professional, kind, and genuinely interested in making your dream wedding happen, then make sure you choose Bridal Bliss. Ari was my wedding planner and to say I wouldn't have been able to plan this wedding without her help is an understatement. She answered every one of my questions promptly and with ease. She made my fiancé and I feel great throughout the entire process of planning the wedding, which anyone who has planned a wedding knows can seem like a daunting task. After each one of our meetings, I immediately felt less anxious and more excited as the big day approached. On our actual wedding day, Ari and her Bridal Bliss assistant made our wedding run like a well oiled machine. Every one of our guests told us how beautiful the wedding was and my husband and I were able to enjoy our special day together. We can't thank Ari and Bridal Bliss enough for their help and making our wedding the perfect day that we will remember forever!

Easy to work with, communicative and accommodating throughout the whole process, made our day day go so much smoother, could not recommend more!

I could not imagine planning a wedding without a professional. My husband was previously married and did not have a planner during the first go around. He expressed how much of a difference it made for the entire experience, not only as the couple but for the family members as well. As two working professionals, the amount of time and energy we needed to put into planning was limited and it was all thanks to our planner, Katy Haley. She made the process task oriented with due dates and kept us informed on the essentials as this was my first (and hopefully only!!) wedding to plan. We would recommend Bridal Bliss to anyone getting married as they were able to provide fantastic vendor options, provided guidance and recommendations, and handled all of the logistics! I do not think the day of the wedding would have gone so well without a full planner. Well worth the expense for the peace of mind and for the full enjoyment of the day as the married couple.

I really enjoyed our day of coordinator and the assistants. Mollie was supportive and encouraging of all our non-traditional ideas. Having the day of support made it very relaxing for me as the bride!

It seemed so surprising that you sign up so early for the services of a wedding planner plus you pay for the whole services $10K almost 8 months ahead of the wedding. Bridal Bliss (Katy) was very helpful with recommendations for a DJ, photographers, videographers, Hair and Makeup, Party Rentals, Floral, caterers, and the easiest decision for us was choosing the venue as we knew we wanted Lake Oswego. She really was knowledgeable about the constraints that Lewis and Clark had as well and other places outside of Portland (winery and such). Initially (early on) communications were not heavy but it picked up as decisions were being made. We of course have a budget and did a fairly decent job of trying to stick with it. But the Bridal Bliss contract then added 3% above the initial contract price when it went over costs. Service was just top notch the day of the event. As the mother of the bride, I did not have to worry one bit over ANYTHING. Of course I was most worried about the sit down dinner and it was truly amazing. I felt the total cost of the wedding planner was high but so was the photographer and the videographer and the caterer so bottom line everything is expensive nowadays!!

I recently had the opportunity to work with Mollie at Bridal Bliss - Portland. Mollie was great at recommending vendors as needed and helped us find our wedding transportation. On the day of my wedding, I was able to fully let Mollie lead the day. My venue was setup beautifully and Mollie helped let me and the groom know where and when we had to be for the flow of the timeline. My day was perfect with no hiccups and Mollie was a huge part of that.

We had a wonderful experience working with our wedding planner Charlotte Bell at Bridal Bliss. She provided excellent recommendations for local vendors, was our master organizer, and absolutely showed UP day of. I anticipated needing to do more the day of our wedding, but she 100% took care of everything. The attention to detail and general flow to the day exceeded every expectation that I had. Our guests had a fabulous time and I know that much of that was due to all of the work behind the scenes. Very thankful!

I cannot rave enough about Charlotte Bell!!! We hired her to help us put together our vision for a fabulously well planned out wedding (like one that would take at least a year to plan) in a very short amount of time (six months) - SHE NAILED IT!!! She was there for us every step of the way and guided us through it all!!! I would absolutely recommend Bridal Bliss and Charlotte Bell for your upcoming wedding!!!

We used bridal bliss to help plan our wedding and we had a phenomenal time working with them. We met Mackenzie, one of the senior wedding planners, at a friends wedding and requested to work with her for our wedding and she was available! From start to finish, every step fo the planning process was well-organized and well thought out. She was extremely professional and organized, and very flexible with my busy work schedule when it came to planning meetings. We loved her so much and we were truly in awe of how the wedding day turned out. It was absolutely stunning and everything from the ceremony to the reception to the dance floor looked flawless and spectacular. The flow was perfect and we could not stop receiving compliments from guests about it! We've heard multiple times that it was the best wedding they've been to! I strongly recommend working with bridal bliss to help plan your special day - well worth it!

Bridal Bliss is the BEST!!!!! We had Katy as our planner and she made the planning process so fun and easy. She has the best relationship with the vendors and all of them were so trustworthy. My wedding was seriously the best day of my life and I owe all of that to Katy. Thank you Bridal Bliss!!!!

So happy we used Bridal Bliss for our wedding! Our planner, Kelly, was an absolute dream to work with and made our wedding planning experience so much less stressful. Because we were planning a destination wedding it was especially important to us to have a planner who was responsive and easy to communicate with. Throughout our two year planning process Kelly was extremely attentive and always quick to respond to my many questions! The actual day of our wedding was amazing! Kelly designed such as beautiful layout that really highlighted the natural beauty of our venue. Everything was planned to perfect and went so smoothly! Thank you Kelly and Bridal Bliss for helping us make our wedding dreams come true!

I had the pleasure of working alongside Miranda and her team from Bridal Bliss at a wedding this past weekend. From the get-go, she was on point with her communication, punctuality, professionalism, and overall fantastic personality. Despite several day-of challenges (completely out of her control), Miranda dove in and tackled each one flawlessly, and pulled together a beautiful wedding for her couple. It's not only her experience and perseverence that made this wedding a success, but her love for what she does is so evident and the care she has for the wedding couple in her charge is absolutely top-notch! There are many quality wedding planners in the greater Seattle area, and I've worked with some of the best. That being said, if you're newly engaged, definitely include Bridal Bliss on your list of wedding planners to meet. You'll not only receive the support and care of an outstanding team for you, the couple, but your vendors will also be lock step with your vision...Miranda and the team at Bridal Bliss will ensure you have the wedding you've dreamed about!

Bridal Bliss, and more specifically, Candida was incredible to work with. She brought a high level of knowledge, organization and enthusiasm to our wedding planning process that was much needed. She made herself available to us at every step of the way and made sure that my wife and I stayed on track throughout the wedding planning process. She offered suggestions and asked lots of questions to help us mold our vision for how we wanted the day to be. She was clearly focused on helping us create a magical day through our lens. She was always a step ahead and was instrumental in making sure we were prepared for the big day. On the wedding day itself, she and her assistant were prepared and executed the wedding to perfection despite the 100+ degree weather, taking care of last minute adjustments and communicating with all the vendors which took the stress off of us. I would highly recommend Candida to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator.

Candida with Bridal Bliss was amazing!! She made planning a wedding from states away so easy. She kept me in line with everything I needed every month. It was truly the best. Highly recommend her and Bridal Bliss for all your event needs. Completely worth every penny.

We chose Bridal Bliss as our wedding planner for our wedding in July and couldn’t recommend them enough! Our planner, Catherine, was an absolute dream to work with and became a close friend after knowing her for two years of planning (we had to delay a year due to COVID). Catherine understood our style and vision for the day, which was amazing given we planned it from overseas! We would highly recommend Bridal Bliss for weddings or other major events.

Kelly at Bridal Bliss was such an amazing partner and helped us accomplish our dream wedding! She was responsive, organized, dedicated and so so helpful. The night before the wedding we were at the venue and I noticed we were missing one of the table signs, I was stressed about it but at that point had to leave it alone. The next day, on the wedding day, Kelly had printed the new sign (which was a unique design) and had it all ready on the table. It is little details like that, that really make a difference and I appreciated SO much. Not only did we have a great vendor-client relationship but we built a friendship to where at the end of the night I was so sad we wouldn't be working together anymore!! Thank you thank you thank you Kelly and the rest of the Bridal Bliss team for all of your help - I will definitely recommend you to every bride I know!! They were worth every penny :)

My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Mollie, Candida, and Victoria from the Bridal Bliss team. Every aspect of our wedding was coordinated with care and professionalism. From the planning stages where we developed our vision for the wedding, to coordination with vendors, and finally the day of the wedding, everything was taken care of to perfection. We would recommend Bridal Bliss to anyone planning their wedding, regardless of what stage they are at. Coordinating a wedding is a high bar to meet, but Bridal Bliss exceeded every one of our expectations. Thank you so much!

Their ads say "best wedding ever" but they should really say "best team ever." Bridal Bliss knocked it out of the park in every possible way. Don't think twice--hire them immediately! They will make your wedding exponentially better than you could imagine and you will enjoy every second of it.

Working with Stacy was a dream! Bringing on Bridal Bliss to support the day of coordination was 100% worth it. Our day went so smoothly—our guests even commented on how the pacing of the evening moved so naturally and how Stacy & team were all over it. It wasn't just our actual wedding though where I saw the value of BB. Stacy provided the gut checks I needed throughout the entire process and I'm so grateful for her guidance and support!

Loved working with Nora, Elizabeth and the rest of their team. Gorgeous wedding that went off flawlessly, at least from what I saw. Super professional to plan with.

Katy is truly the best in the business. We engaged Katy ~18 months before our original wedding date, but due to COVID this became ~30 months, so we got to know Katy well. We live out of state and didn’t have context on the local wedding scene. Our venue also provided very little - we had to bring in generators, tents, furniture, etc. We are the type of clients that wanted to explore all options and vendors in the ecosystem. Our only regret is that we didn’t trust Katy’s guidance 100% of the time early on, because it turned out she was always right. She has excellent relationships with all the vendors and will get you great rates and service, while making sure the wedding is personalized, creative, and unique to the couple. We unexpectedly had to change venues for our rehearsal dinner 5 days before the event due to covid, and she managed it all with ease, securing new decor, transportation etc, always staying on top of the smallest details. Despite the crazy times, she maintained a positive attitude and kept us as calm as possible. Bridal Bliss also uses Rock Paper Coin, which makes payment tracking and vendor management easy. We simply could not have done it without Katy and Bridal Bliss. They are worth every penny and more. We would be happy to be a reference for any prospective clients.

Most balls were dropped the wedding day from the ceremony to the reception. The planner should have asked more questions. There were a lot of incorrect assumptions made the ruined the wedding. Looking back, I realize I should have doubled checked everything which isn’t something I didn’t think I would have to do hiring a wedding planner. There was a lack in attention to all the details. We had a unity candle ceremony planned, and the planner forgot to have the candles in the pews for us. We had to pause during the ceremony as she ran to find them and then passed them out as we awkwardly waited. The doors in the front were also left open, so all the doors are strangely open in our wedding photos. There were a lot of things we purchased that our planner didn't ask about and in some cases didn't even use, like a hanging photo garland and our cake knife. My mom had to continue tracking down the planner for rose petals that we wanted to be thrown after we exited the chapel, but when we got out of the chapel no one was there. She eventually found them and said she felt like the planner kept ignoring her while she was looking for them. Some of the things we passed to the planner are still missing and were not returned to us. The layout of the room was so wonky that people kept getting confused on where to look and the flow of things. Childhood photos that were supposed to hang on the garland were put on our guest book table, which confused people and they started pasting them in the guest book, instead of taking photos at the photo booth and putting them in the guest book. My family had to pull them out of the guest book and almost moved the table themselves. When I asked the planner about it to see if she would fix it, she just shrugged. The biggest thing was that they got the table layout wrong and split up the families on different sides of the room. I asked about it to see if we could switch, and she said there was nothing to be done. I had specifically said all our families and us on one side, and friends on the other. I even labeled the table names with “bride’s family” and “groom’s family”. We had relatives fly from out of state and abroad, so it was a rare occasion to get them all together. It ended up causing a lot of hurt feelings that even a week after we are still trying to soothe. Looking back, I wish I had pushed to get the tables changed to the right seating arrangement. It's entirely upsetting to look back at our wedding day and all the things wrong were due to a lack in day of coordinating. She barely apologized saying I was laid back so she didn’t think was a big deal and that her assistant was who messed up the tables. They didn’t over a partial refund or anything. She forgot to give me something from the venue and didn’t even offer to get it mailed to me or anyway to make anything up. So disappointing. DO NOT HIRE THEM!

I could not possibly ask for a better experience when working with Bridal Bliss. As a type-A, organized individual, I went into wedding planning confident I could do it myself - I quickly figured out I was in over my head and how thankful I am I decided to go with Bridal Bliss to help me plan the most amazing day of my life. I was fortunate enough to have Mackenzie Shoemaker as my wedding coordinator, and she went above and beyond in every way. She did a fantastic job making me feel like I was her one and only client (heaven knows that was not the case for the busy 2021 wedding season) from our very first conversation, which at that point my wedding was still AGES away. She was so warm, easy to talk to, organized and gave wonderful advice. She has an exceptional aptitude for balancing the vision of the bride with peppering in recommendations/changes to accommodate for the larger logistical picture. I constantly would send her one-off emails with details that randomly popped into my head or questions I needed answers to and she was always SO responsive, even reaching out when she wouldn’t hear from me to make sure I was knocking out big important to-dos and staying true to the timeline. When I say she went above and beyond, I mean it. She drove all the way out to my house to pick-up my items for the wedding day, returned rented items to vendors the day after my wedding, and even took home presents/ leftover items after the big day for me to pick up later. The day-of was a continuation of the work she put in all year long. I went into the day feeling so at ease, mainly because of her positive, stress-free energy that made the day that much better and how organized, communicative, and on top of everything she was. I can’t even tell you the number of compliments I received from friends/family about ‘my AMAZING wedding coordinator. Being a covid bride is STRESSFUL. Mackenzie made it a wonderful, stress-free experience - absolutely worth every penny.

We LOVED working with Bridal Bliss! Our Wedding Planner, Mackenzie Shoemaker, was professional, fun, and super organized. I don’t know how we would have navigated planning a wedding (let alone during COVID), without her guidance and expertise. She did an awesome job up front providing us with a monthly checklist to keep us on track and made herself available throughout the entire process to answer questions, attend vendor meetings, and ensure our vision came to life. Our vendors all adored working with her, and her day of orchestration was flawless! We never realized how much went into that – literally hour by hour, minute by minute. It was unbelievable – and her efforts allowed us to be present on one of the most important days of our lives without worrying about the logistics. We had a picture-perfect wedding and know we have her to thank for it! Highly recommend both Bridal Bliss and Mackenzie. Thank you!

Bridal Bliss is truly an amazing company. While having to reschedule and change literally everything I not only had my hired coordinator but the whole bridal bliss team behind her to try and help me make my wedding dreams come true! They truly are the best in the business and I would highly encourage everyone to hire them for a seamless wedding experience.

Carrie was so amazing! She went above and beyond to make our day perfect! We couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator! ❤️ We love you!

Katy and the entire Bridal Bliss team made my wedding day the most incredible day I could have ever imagined. Their relationships with vendors really make them standout and it is so obvious how much everyone enjoys working with them. Katy and her team genuinely cared about all of our opinions and worked extremely hard to ensure I had the most perfect day. It was unbelievable, and I seriously can't imagine doing any of it without them.

Nora Sheils and her team at Bridal Bliss are the absolute best in the business! Even with all the crazy ups and downs of planning a wedding during a pandemic they were able to make our dream wedding part 1 and 2 come true! Nora is so professional and responsive - she is also so knowledgeable about absolutely everything in the wedding industry she was able to answer any question we threw at her - from different locations to table settings to the timeline of the event - her expertise was so appreciated by my entire family. Nora was more than just our wedding planner she truly became a friend during this process and we cannot thank her enough.

Bridal Bliss came recommended to us by our amazing wedding designer, Joy Proctor! We worked with Katy on the Bridal Bliss team off the bat. Katy is wonderful. She is organized, incredibly thoughtful, easy to work with, and she’s got a true down-to-earth presence that made us feel at ease throughout the planning process. She patiently advised us as we rode through this rollercoaster through the early days of the pandemic, helped support us as we decided to postpone, downsize, and was there to navigate the last-minute massive changes on our wedding day. Her support, kindness, easy-going attitude helped us through it all. We are forever grateful for her!

Had an incredible experience with Nora! We were throw many curveballs that STARTED with Covid and ended with 3 venue changes and a lot of logistical changes. But Nora handed everything like a complete professional and didn't stress one bit. She was so easy to work with, always extremely kind, and my band loved working with her! Would love to work with her again.

Bridal Bliss is hands down the best wedding planning company to work with! My husband and I were fortunate enough to use them while planning our wedding. Catherine was our planner, and we hit the total jackpot with her. You can tell how much she truly cares about you, as well as her work. 2020 was not the easiest year to be in the wedding business, and Catherine handled every curve ball we / COVID threw at her with deep compassion and professionalism. She always went above and beyond for us. She made our wedding day completely smooth, stress free and magical (shout out to her assistant, Ari too!). We had the absolute dream team of vendors because Bridal Bliss recommends the best of the best for each wedding vendor. I still can’t believe it was real life thanks to Catherine/Bridal Bliss! We genuinely feel that we gained Catherine as a forever friend, and look forward to recommending Bridal Bliss to everyone.

The best in the biz! This team is incredibly creative and has been a pleasure to work with. Cannot recommend them more--they are reliable, honest, organized, connected, seasoned, and fun!

We came to Bridal Bliss 2 weeks prior to our wedding (it was 2020, need I say more) and Mollie stepped up to take on the huge task of bringing our wedding vision all together on our big day. Mollie was extremely professional, warm, detail-oriented, and committed to providing us with a celebratory, stress-free day. We felt so comfortable and confident going into our wedding weekend knowing that she would be in charge!! Any nerves or worries about the details went away as soon as we hired Bridal Bliss and Mollie handled all the logistics like a champion. We could not have dreamed of a better company to hire and better coordinator to work with!! We also loved that there was an assistant day of! We cannot speak more highly of Bridal Bliss! They are worth every penny!

Katy did our day of coordination which was extremely helpful! Even though we had a very revised guest list and a revised venue due to Covid, Katy was there to organize everything. As the bride, I was not worried about anything! Neither was my Mom. We let Katy run the show. Despite the smoke which changed some plans, Katy came through and made sure everything was perfect. She is friendly and organized and can pretty much work miracles! I highly recommend Katy and Bridal Bliss for any wedding.

Hiring Elizabeth at Bridal Bliss as a full service wedding planner started out as a nice luxury my daughter and I decided was worth the expense. We just wanted to have fun planning her dream wedding and not deal with the stress. Then the pandemic hit. Elizabeth put on her super hero wedding planner cape and came to our rescue. She planned THREE weddings: the original one for 200 at the Cathedral followed by a reception at a large venue, a different parish wedding followed by a garden reception for 70 and finally a beautiful, intimate church wedding for 12 followed by an amazing dinner and reception in our home. Elizabeth was a champ. Always professional, flexible and upbeat. She negotiated with our vendors to secure refunds and or credits and insulated us from most of the stress caused by planning a wedding during a pandemic. We were so impressed by her can do attitude that we ended up hiring her to plan a FABULOUS rehearsal dinner at a winery and a sojourn to the beach the day after the wedding. We are so grateful to Elizabeth and Bridal Bliss. They were a joy to work with and we look forward to hiring them again when my youngest daughter walks down the aisle.

Best money we spent on the wedding. 1st meeting and they knew our vision, budget and priorities. They truly turned our dreams into reality with professionalism and fun. Our "musts" Everyone to have fun - we wanted it to be a celebration. We were thrown some curve balls and they immediately adapted and were 100% flexible and understanding, fixing everything! Perfection !

Who doesnt want that right?! These ladies know how to take every aspect of this amazing but also can be very stressful event and guide you down a path that completely eliminates any issues. Catherine (my personal wedding planner) met us right away super early in the planning and immediately made me feel like she was me personal friend. I trusted her implicitly. She made everything so smooth and easy. She guided us towards the best vendors for us and our budget and did her best to get us the biggest bang for our buck and did a GREAT job. I got to make the decisions but she did all the leg work and stress. Even while we were going through the family crisis of tragically losing my soon to be father-in-law to cancer suddenly she was there for us emotionally and took care of all wedding related events, moving/canceling/rescheduling everything. She put us first and took care of everything behind the scenes so we could get through that horribly tough time. She did a marvelous job. Even with everything that happened to us personally our wedding was EXACTLY what we had wanted. She learned who we were and listened to our wishes and made our dream day come true. My now husband, who is very laid back guy said that the day was the most fun day of his entire life. If you want that truly stress free wedding planning experience I believe everyone wants... do yourself the favor and work with Bridal Bliss. They are 100% worth the investment at the START of your planning. Dont wait and struggle. Book them NOW!!

So professional, punctual, and amazing service

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Bridal Bliss. My coordinator, Katy Haley, made my wedding absolutely perfect. She made sure every detail was in order and that the wedding day went off without any hiccups. I cannot recommend them enough! They are professional, kind and extremely detailed. They think of everything! I felt calm and knew I was in good hands with Katy and the Bridal Bliss team. So thankful for them!

We are so grateful to have found Nora to help plan our wedding! We decided to have a “full” wedding planner given the extent of logistics and details that go into planning a 250-person wedding, and we are so glad we did. Nora has probably planned more weddings than anyone else in the Portland area, and is the owner of and lead of an amazing team at Bridal Bliss. Right from the first meeting, we knew we were in good hands. Her carefully curated vendor suggestions were on point, and it was evident how highly regarded she is by vendors in how smoothly the process in working with them went. Thanks to her strong attention to detail, great industry relationships, and ability to orchestrate a lot of different people involved, our wedding went off without a hitch. Despite us discovering 3 days before our outdoor wedding that it was expected to rain, Nora didn’t even flinch and quickly jumped into action to ensure that our dream day was reimagined with tents to keep our guests dry. I knew we wouldn’t have much time to help given we were entertaining some of our guests who were already in town, but I fully trusted Nora to design and manage the last minute changes without my involvement. The day-of couldn’t have gone more smoothly. We were able to be fully present in the moment and enjoy being surrounded by friends and family as Nora worked magic in the background. We couldn’t recommend Nora or any of her team members (several of whom have planned our friends’ weddings) more highly! Our dream day simply could not have happened without her.

Carrie was our day-of coordinator, and she knocked it out of the park. Often she went above and beyond her call to duty and helped break down difficult and confusing processes so the entire planning process was seamless. On the day of our wedding, her team was professional, tremendously helpful, and exceptionally organized. With so many moving parts, we thought for sure something would go awry, but Carrie's team was always there to assist. The entire night was FLAWLESS! We owe it to Carrie and the entire team at bridal bliss for that. They allowed us to focus on having the most memorable night of our lives without a single issue throughout the entire planning process. Recommend highly!

Bridal Bliss made our wedding day and reception run seamlessly! Our coordinator helped bring all of the final details together and took much of the stress off of our plates when it mattered most. I cannot recommend them enough!

The theme for our September 7th wedding was “Mid-summers night dream”—without our team at Bridal Bliss, it could have been a “Mid-summer nightmare”. My husband and I could not have dreamed of a more magical day, and it would not have been possible without our ‘dream team’ at Bridal Bliss, our wedding planner, Katy Haley, and all of our amazing vendors. Due to an unforeseen circumstance at our original wedding venue of choice, which was selected a year in advance, we were forced to find a new venue just three days before our wedding. This was what nightmares are made of!  We had 500 guests in attendance, 150 of which came from out of town. After shock of the situation subsided, Katy immediately snapped into action and found another venue within 24hrs. If it wasn’t for Katy, and the Bliss team, I don’t know how we would have managed. The switch was seamless, and Katy made sure every vendor was notified with a new plan of action in the new venue space. Katy was an outstanding wedding planner, and we felt lucky to have her! In the months leading up to our wedding she arranged and attended vendor meetings, worked with us to find the right match, and helped us to stay within our budget. She is very well connected to vendors in the industry, and was able to recommend a variety of people who adhered to our style and taste. In addition to coordinating meetings with vendors, she executed our ideas, and helped us stay on track. On the day of, Katy and the Bliss team ensured that everything ran smoothly, which allowed my husband and I to fully enjoy ourselves. Beyond being so impressed by Katy, Bridal Bliss is definitely at the top of their industry, with amazing vendor relations, expertise and overall professionalism. They turned our Wedding day, in what could have of been a disaster, into the best day of our lives, and with that, I cannot recommend them more highly!

Bridal bliss was amazing to work with. They helped us bring our vision to life. They were very professional and helped us think through every detail. Our specific planner, Alexis, was incredible! She was on top of everything and made the wedding planning process so much more enjoyable. She also had the perfect demeanor especially on the Wedding day. I felt confident that everything we had planned was in great hands and was going to be taken care of perfectly.

My husband, family and I had an amazing experience working with Katy Haley and Bridal Bliss to plan our wedding last August in Portland. Most importantly, Katy seamlessly handled a last minute vendor cancelation and a dress alteration schedule mishap. I can’t imagine what I would have done to solve either of those problems, or the financial and emotional strain that would have ensued without her knowledge of the industry and connections. Our wedding day was relaxed and full of friends and family. We got to eat and dance without a care. Looking back on the day, I was so engaged with the experience I don’t remember worrying about details or last minute plans. We had an amazing team; I would recommend Katy without hesitation.

I am absolutely blown away at the exceptional job the women at Bridal Bliss did for our wedding! I would hands down recommend their services to anyone looking for wedding coordinators. We specifically worked with Elizabeth who was INCREDIBLE! Her attentiveness and super fast communication, her attention to all the details, and her amazing creativity made her the absolute perfect fit as our coordinator! The months leading up to the wedding never felt rushed or crazy with timelines because we were able to thoughtfully organize vendor and venue meetings around our schedule. The team at Bridal Bliss also helped with our RSVP's which was a task I didn't even think about, but am so grateful they assisted. I am so happy with how our wedding and all the festivities turned out and I know it's a direct reflection of the hard work and energy of the Bridal Bliss Team! We are so thankful someone referred us to them before we embarked on our wedding journey!

I can't imagine what our wedding would've been like without Bridal Bliss! I'm a type-A person that suffers from anxiety issues, so having Elizabeth step in, share my vision, and take away my stress was amazing! Because of her I was able to stay grounded on our special day and take it all in.

We hired Nora and her team to plan our daughter and future son-in-law's wedding and they exceeded our expectations! From the first meeting, Nora and her team were outstanding; and there aren't enough superlatives to describe their knowledge, empathy, professionalism, sense of urgency, and experience in "all things weddings". They listened well, understood what we wanted and immediately began turning our concepts into reality. They were personally involved and committed from the start to making everything perfectly seamless and stress free, while delivering an unforgettable experience. We always felt apprised and involved. We gave them a budget and a timeline and they came back with a more detailed budget and timeline that even had contingency plans in the event of unforeseen circumstances. (of which there are many). We hit every date and came in under budget. We'd hire Bridal Bliss again and strongly recommend them. The only mistake you could make in your wedding planning is NOT hiring Bridal Bliss!

My wife and I had such a wonderful experience with Bridal Bliss. Specifically, working with Lead Coordinator -Katy Haley. We first called Bridal Bliss (Nora) 1.5 years prior to when we were thinking of getting married. Nora took the time to learn about our background, likes/dislikes, and suggested Katy as a good wedding planner match. From day 1, Katy was always available via email, text, and phone call to answer any questions we had about the entire wedding planning process. Katy is extremely well connected in the industry and was able to suggest vendors she felt would be a great match. She coordinated meetings with vendors, listened to our ideas, and adhered to our budget. While we thought Katy was "The Best" leading up to the wedding, she exceeded our expectations on the day of the wedding. Everything we had discussed, planned, and envisioned came to life - all because of her leadership. We cannot recommend Katy and the entire Bridal Bliss enough. If you want a team of planners/coordinators who have the best intentions to ensure your wedding day is the best day of your life, hire Bridal Bliss!

We absolutely loved working with Catherine and can't say enough nice things about Bridal Bliss whenever someone asks us about our wedding / the planning process. Best money we spent on our wedding, hands down.

Outside of saying yes to the man of my dreams, Bridal Bliss was one of the best decisions we have ever made. Katy not only planned the most spectacular wedding day but has made a spectacularly huge impact on our lives. Her passion for event planning and life overall is, to say the least, inspiring. From day one, watching her do what she loves and watching her make a difference in the lives of others is an incredible experience. Anyone who has worked with her as a client or a vendor, can see that she puts soul and heart into her endeavors and exceeds any goal she sets. Katy’s knowledge of the industry, level of professionalism, and creativity are unmatched. After taking time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple, Katy and our incredible team of vendors took our vision and made it a reality. We can't say thank you enough to express how grateful we are for Katy coming into our lives not only for planning the most perfect day but being the person that she is.

Bridal Bliss is the absolute best. There is nobody better in the business. Catherine was extremely knowledgeable and organized, and we could not have done this without her! She guided us through our wedding day smoothly and was prepared for the unexpecteds. My sister is getting married next month, and I wouldn't let her do it without Bridal Bliss!

Bridal Bliss was such a fantastic help for our special day. I did not worry about a thing on the wedding day and I was able to enjoy all the little moments. Highly recommend for a stress free and well executed day.

Hiring Bridal Bliss to plan our wedding was by far the best decision that we made in the entire wedding planning process. Elizabeth was our planner and we really cannot say enough amazing things about her. She was always one step ahead of the game, quick to respond and follow up on all of our questions and concerns, pulled many strings for us, and she was just SO much fun to work with! Every minute of planning with her was a blast. Our wedding day went flawlessly, and everything came together even better than ever could have dreamed. Elizabeth and the Bridal Bliss team made our wedding, rehearsal dinner and day after brunch stress free, and we were able to enjoy everything so much more. It was such a great experience that I really wish we could do it all over again. I really cannot recommend Bridal Bliss enough for all of your wedding planning needs. If you are considering them for your upcoming wedding or event, please do it. I promise that you will not regret it!

Bridal bliss is a wonderful company to have by your side on your big day!! Frannie was the coordinator that worked side by side with us and did a absolutely beautiful job and it wouldn't have went flawlessly without her!! During the whole planning process I wasn't stressed or freaking out because she made sure I knew she had my back every step of the way! If you join their Instagram you can see all the beautiful and fun weddings they help with.

My wedding planner Katy was on top of it and walked me through everything from day one. She was also a great emotional support and did a bunch of little things I wouldn’t have thought of had she not prompted me. Heads up - they’re such a well-oiled machine that if you go with non-traditional or newbie vendors it may be a bit out of their comfort zone or wheelhouse. You can control as much or as little of the planning as you want but do speak up for what you need. I used to go through panic sessions until I got to know my planner enough to realize she was more of a phone call than an email person. Either way I felt totally taken care of and I literally couldn’t have dreamt of better decor, a better cake, or a better flow to the ceremony and reception. It was a MAGICAL day for me and my new husband. They made everything look SOOOOOOOO CUTE!

We hired Bridal Bliss after a recommendation from a newly married friend. We went with the full-service package and it was the BEST money we spent! Our wedding was memorable and fun, and absolutely stress-free for the bridal party and family. Elizabeth was our coordinator; she flawlessly planned and executed every idea. We were provided with detailed monthly timelines and were guided through every contract, decision, and option. We saved hours of time because our planner presented us with the best 2-3 vendor choices for each vendor category. Day-of, our planner and her assistant anticipated every need and made sure that the bridal party and family could simply enjoy the day. The timeline flowed flawlessly and if there were any glitches, we never knew about them because the Bridal Bliss team handled everything for us! The day felt like a fairy-tale and we are so thankful to Bridal Bliss for putting together a classy, enjoyable wedding for us and our guests!

The Bridal Bliss team is amazing! If you’re getting married, have a wedding. (I was a naysayer.) And if you’re have a wedding, hire Bridal Bliss. You will not regret one cent of it. Meghan worked with us during the planning phase and was SO nice. She was positive and professional, and was proactive in finding solutions. Her response time consistently felt like less than one hour. You will make one million decisions before your wedding, and she helped us feel like we were making the right ones. And she kept track of all of it! Basically, I want her in my pocket for everything I do now. Elizabeth helped us day-of, and I was shocked that she was just as amazing as Meghan! There were TWO amazing people! (Side note: A perk of hiring Bridal Bliss is that they are a collective, and should something go awry, there is immediate back-up.) She was on top of it, and had a smile on her face all day. I worried about nothing, and was happy when she needed to tell me or ask me something. Really, that’s all you want on your wedding day. TLDR: If you’re getting married, hire Bridal Bliss and don’t look back.

I loved working with Bridal Bliss! I worked with Elizabeth and she made everything so seamless. She was always one step ahead of me and more than happy to help out. She went above and beyond what was required. I would highly recommend!

While planning our wedding, my hubs and I were excited about our unique ideas but unsure how to make them happen. We spent a few months trying to figure them out on our own before we got smart and started working with Bridal Bliss. From the moment we met with Amber, we felt relieved. She celebrated our vision and helped us see how it could all work. She quickly became a part of our "team" and my hubs and I felt like winners. From there, the process was easy and fun. Amber communicated with vendors, troubleshot, determined timelines, and removed any headaches. Leading up to the wedding and during the weekend, she stayed on top of details so we didn't have to think about them. Everything went so smoothly and Amber (and her team) took care of everyone. It's been a month and we're still singing her praises!

We worked with Cam as our day-of wedding coordinator for our big day one month ago. Bridal Bliss was definitely worth every penny and we would definitely hire them again for future events! Cam in particular was very professional, flexible, and accommodating to us. She was a great resource for questions, clarifications, and suggestions for the planning process leading up to the wedding. During our wedding weekend, we were impressed with how prompt and efficient she was in running our rehearsal night as well as wedding day. Our day could not have been as wonderful, detailed, and smooth without Cam and Bridal Bliss' help. On top of that, they are a group of wonderful professionals that we truly enjoyed getting to know in the process. The only recommendation I have for future brides is to keep a clear communication regarding your desired event start and end times so that Bridal Bliss is able to have flexibility in accommodating!

Bridal Bliss is amazing to work with! We worked with Meghan and she was literally on top of every single detail I could have ever thought of (and many that I never would have thought of)! I would say one of the most easily justifiable expenses of our wedding and had so many amazing returns through quality vendor recommendations, discounts, and expertise.

Bridal Bliss was amazing to work with! From our first meeting to our wedding day, they cared so much about making our wedding vision come to life. I really felt that our wedding coordinator, Natalia, cared about making our day as special as can be. She went above and beyond to help with vendors and making decisions and really took a lot of stress off of plate. Every bride needs a Bridal Bliss consultant!

Bridal Bliss provided day-of services for our March wedding. Not only were they professional, they were personable. I felt I had a business partner throughout the planning process who became my friend in the end. Would recommend for all wedding needs.

We had the pleasure of working with Catherine Sammon on our wedding. We hired her as our day of the event coordinator but I feel like she was involved in every step of my planning. I can not describe how helpful she was and how calm she kept me (the bride) throughout the whole process. Given that we were planning our wedding long distance, she was truly God sent and all a bride needs. She was 100% reliable and knew what she was doing. She is an amazing listener and an easy person to work with. I was at times a bridezilla but she never made me feel that way. We are forever grateful to Catherine.

When we started the wedding planning process I went back and forth a lot if we should work with a planner or if we could handle everything on our own. Looking back, there is no doubt in my mind we made the right decision working with Bridal Bliss! We were paired with Katy, and she was fantastic throughout the entire process. She understood the things that were important to us and helped guide us in the right direction, and when she could tell I was struggling to make decisions she took the lead and I fully trusted the decisions and vision she had. Throughout the entire process it was a great experience, but in the two weeks before the Wedding and the actual wedding day it became very clear just how amazing Bridal Bliss is. I was able to enjoy every minute leading up to the wedding and the entire wedding day without myself, my husband, or our families needing to worry about a thing! I kept telling Katy “I feel like I must be missing something, this seems too easy”, but I wasn’t missy anything, Katy just really made it that easy!

We immediately felt at ease with Katy as we started planning our November 2017 wedding, and knew we were in the best hands. She communicated clearly, respected our budget, and connected us with vendors that were both within our budget, and would help us achieve our vision for our wedding day. There was a point in the planning process when I told my now husband, "I'd be fine if Katy made every decision from here until the wedding", and for someone that likes to make all the decisions, this was a huge deal. Katy had all my trust. Our wedding weekend and wedding planning process was stress free, exciting, beautiful, and so full of love. Our vision came to life, and we all enjoyed an unforgettable celebration that guests are still talking about. Because of Katy, we were surrounded by vendors that felt like family, and made the whole day so much more that I had ever dreamed of. Thank you, Katy for making this process fun, and allowing us to focus on ourselves and guests during this special time in our lives. I recommend Katy and Bridal Bliss without any hesitation!

I had an incredible experience working with Bridal Bliss to plan my October 2017 wedding. I was the maid of honor in my friends' wedding back in June 2016, and she was working with a Bridal Bliss planner, and I knew from THAT day that I had to look no further one day when I got married. I worked with Carrie, who was incredibly organized, responsive, and professional. Saying "worked with" even sounds weird because it felt like we were more like friends. She went above and beyond the expectations I had for a day-of planner and made the wedding planning process not just smooth, but fun. My entire bridal party raved about her. She was so relaxed which set the tone for our big day. She kept me out of the little things and allowed me to truly enjoy the week leading up to the wedding stress-free. I trusted her with everything and she had my back in conversations that can be complicated with vendors. I would HIGHLY recommend Bridal Bliss and any of their planners, you will have zero regrets!

Vibrant Table has had the pleasure of working with Bridal Bliss for the last fifteen years. Bridal Bliss events are unique and elegant; the care and attention they provide for their clients translate to the high-quality event that brides and grooms envision for their wedding. When we work with Nora and the Bridal Bliss team on events, we know both the planning process and the day of will flow seamlessly: a recipe for success! – Karen Rich, Vibrant Table Catering & Events

Working with Katy at Bridal Bliss this past year was honestly the highlight of our wedding – besides getting married of course! Charlie and I met with Katy shortly after getting engaged, and immediately felt comfortable with her. I still remember the Saturday morning we had our first meeting! Bridal Bliss is located inside of Anna’s Bridal, the most wonderful wedding dress shop imaginable. The space is gorgeous! Katy was kind enough to share some delicious macaroons a vendor has sent them to sample (this is how amazing she is!). It’s incredible how much Katy got us and what we envisioned on our wedding day. Within three weeks of our initial meeting we had decided on our venue, photographer, caterer, florist and DJ. She made the process effortless and helped steer us in the right direction, which is exactly what we wanted and needed. My husband and I joke about decision paralysis being a real thing, but it’s true. With so many decisions to make surrounding a wedding, having Katy provide her honest opinion was a blessing. Her attention to detail and thoroughness is unbelievable – like custom ice cubes, hanging floral chandeliers and a living garden aisle. All of these small touches were remarkable, and goes to show that it really is all in the details. Leading up to the wedding, Katy and I were talking, emailing, texting and meeting almost daily. As a result, I never once felt overwhelmed or anxious. Seriously amazing. She also handled all of the communication with vendors, which is a lot of people, especially if your venue is a blank slate like ours was! I’ve heard horror stories from other brides who did not use Bridal Bliss and it breaks my heart. On our wedding day, my husband and I were able to sit back, laugh and simply enjoy the day! We didn’t need to worry about one thing because Katy and her team had it more than covered. What a gift. She even had a tide pen on hand for me when I spilled chocolate cake on my dress! Katy was honestly more than a wedding coordinator to us. She became a part of our family and we couldn’t be more thankful for this past year with her. We love you Katy!! Shannon and Charlie

Hands down the best wedding planner you could ask for all around. Cannot rave enough about Katy. My now husband and I both work full time at the hospital and were pulling our hair out trying to figure out how we were going to plan a multi-day Indian/Protestant fusion wedding halfway across the country, and the moment we started working with Katy it was an immediate change to feeling totally stress free and being able to focus on the creative process of our dream wedding with Katy our magic maker. She was not only professional, available, efficient, hardworking, always going above and beyond for us, but warm, friendly, with a great sense of humor and made the entire process such a fun experience. I don't know how many people would say they would want to go through the process all over again, but with Katy we caught ourselves wishing we could! The best.

I'm very glad Nora and her team helped plan my wedding. She's easy to work with, responsive to suggestions, quick with answers to questions, detailed, and organized. She had the resources and creativity to help us create the wedding we wanted. And when the weather threatened to ruin our plans, she and her staff made sure contingencies were in place to keep everyone happy.

Bridal Bliss was absolutely amazing!! Our Coordinator, Meghan, was professional, organized, innovative and just plain fun to work with! From other vendor recommendations, to site visits, and even last minute tent rentals due to rain, Meghan was supportive every step of the way. Our wedding day truely was a dream come true and we couldn't have done it without Bridal Bliss!

Bridal Bliss was perhaps the most impactful and important investment we made in our wedding. I can say with absolute certainty that our wedding would not have been as organized, memorable, or stress-free without our coordinator, Molly. I was completely relaxed on our wedding day because every detail was handled with professionalism and clear, pro-active communication. Any vendor issues we faced, Molly supported us and handled. On top of the business side, Molly's understanding for our aesthetic and vision for set up (we had a venue that required us to bring everything in) far exceeded our expectations. Additionally, all communication with any other Bridal Bliss team members was prompt, enthusiastic, and extremely helpful. We would give ten stars if we could; I don't know how anyone gets married without them!

Catherine Sammon from Bridal Bliss exceeded our expectations. She went above and beyond to help us plan the wedding! She had great ideas and suggestions. Honestly, it is difficult for us to plan anything with our work schedules, and she literally did everything! We will use her again for any event planning we have in the future! Thanks Catherine!

We had an out-of-town wedding, and interviewed a plethora of wedding planners both local to our wedding site and in the Portland metro area. Bridal Bliss made the decision both easy and obvious, for their professionalism, aesthetic, and reputation in the industry. We worked with Molly who was very organized, responsive, and so helpful throughout the planning process. Having absolutely zero experience with all things wedding-related, Molly helped put my mind at ease while validation decisions and giving us perspective on the market "norm". The day-of coordination with Molly and crew exceeded our expectations, especially with not having to worry about any vendors the entire wedding weekend, both before during and after! Molly gave us peace of mind and answered all of our random questions at all hours and was easily accessible even while planning and managing other weddings. I also felt Molly allowed us to stay true to our vision while being incredibly easy to work with. We truly enjoyed working with Molly and her team, and we have our guests to vouch for her too!

Elizabeth at Bridal Bliss was an absolute life saver and I’m so happy we decided to hire a coordinator. Wedding planning is overwhelming and exhausting, but Elizabeth’s expertise helped the entire process run smoothly. She answered every single text and email in a timely manner and even answered emails from family members. She is organized, creative, detail oriented and best of all, so nice! During one of our final meetings at the venue she had this massive binder full of contracts, checklists, and diagrams, and I just remember thinking “I’m so
