Elizabeth Bliss Events

Lauren was fantastic. We weren’t sure if we wanted a wedding planner but when I saw the services she offered I knew we needed her. She choreographed everything so well. I am someone that has done big events so it was hard to let go…..but Lauren was so professional that she really put our minds at ease. We could really just sit and enjoy the event

Lauren was awesome on the day of! She orchestrated setting up the reception space and it turned out beautiful and exactly how we imagined! Lauren took care of any mishaps during the reception, communication with the vendors, and cleaned up afterward so we didn't have to worry about a thing! Thank you for helping us have a stress-free day.

Lauren is the best!! She had everything organized and ready to go. It was about 200 people there and she made it run smoothly. I would definitely recommend her to help out with your wedding!!

Had the pleasure of working with Lauren for our company's employee event, and let me tell you, she's an absolute gem! From the get-go, she made the entire process a breeze with her professionalism and enthusiasm. It's evident that she's truly passionate about what she does, and it shines through in her work. Not only did Lauren go above and beyond to ensure our event was a success, the photos were absolutely fantastic! Our employees loved having Pixel Pop at the event and the results speak for themselves. If you're in need of a top-notch photo booth for your next event, look no further than Lauren. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! 🌟📷

Lauren is the best! She is so easy to work with and helped us every step of the way. From helping us from the very beginning to the wedding day we couldn’t have done it with her. We couldn’t recommend her enough!

We were just guests at a wedding Lauren was working, but, holy smokes! - she was amazing! She was on top of everything! The wedding and reception looked perfect, from set up to timing. If we had another wedding in our family, we would absolutely hire her.

I booked Elizabeth Bliss Events for two reasons. 1.) we share the same nail tech so I knew she has good taste 2.) I had no idea on how to go about planning a wedding. Let alone a smooth one. Lauren was the best decision we made! I can’t think about how our day would’ve gone if we didn’t have Lauren as our coordinator! It was a dream, not having to worry about a single thing other than marrying my husband. She took care of anything and everything and made sure that our day was the exact way we envisioned it. Answered every question I had and helped us envision our day clearly. There were so many small things I either forgot or didn’t know I’d end up needing on the day of, and Lauren had it all in her kit. Which helped me look and feel my best! My shoe broke before our ceremony and she had stuff to fix it! (Thank god!! Life Saver!!) She even took behind the scene videos for us when we were getting ready/doing first looks, which is amazing to have and I’m forever grateful for! Our bridal party was small, but a handful, Lauren helped us keep our party in check and took no bullshit from them or anyone else. (As we had wedding crashes that she quickly took care of!) I seriously cannot recommend Elizabeth Bliss Events enough. If I could only recommend one vendor to hire for your wedding it would be her 1000%

While planning a wedding, I could not understand what I would need a day-of-coordinator for. I thought I'll be able to handle it! After some time my husband talked me into finding someone as he could see how stressed I was and he was worried that would continue on to the day of our wedding. So we hired Elizabeth Bliss Events. Skipping to the end but, everyone NEEDS a day of coordinator (or a full wedding planner if you can swing it!). Our coordinator, Lauren, made the entire day flow effortlessly! She picked up the coffees and bagels for the bridesmaids, set up name cards and final decorations EXACTLY how I wanted them, made sure the groomsman were on time, during the rehearsal she made sure everyone knew exact when and how to walk down the aisle, she cleaned up decorations during dancing, she made sure our cake (with cake topper and knife) came out exactly when we wanted it, she was the "runner" for anything we needed (no need to send a mom, or a bridesmaid, or a dad, or a groomsman, we can all stay together!), and she was also the most kind and understanding person the entire weekend. So much of my anxiety and stress lifted just knowing I had her in my corner. I am telling you... book Elizabeth Bliss Events, you will be SO grateful.

Booking Lauren from Elizabeth Bliss Events was the single best decision I made when wedding planning. I just wish I booked her for the full wedding planning package instead of the day of coordinator. I was able to enjoy the day and didn't have to worry about anything because I knew she was on it. We had a very large wedding party and Lauren took charge during the rehearsal and made sure everything went smoothly. The month before the wedding we found out our photographer ghosted us, Lauren helped us find a wonderful wedding photographer last minute and saved the day. I plan to give her contact info to everyone I know!! Thanks Lauren! The day wouldn't have gone off without you!

Lauren was a saving grace for my wedding. My husband and I were lost in the early stages of planning our wedding. We reached out to Lauren and immediately felt a mountain of stress come off our shoulders. She provided recommendations, listened to stressors, provided feedback when asked for, and made sure our big day was the fairytale we wanted it to be. We are so incredibly thankful to Lauren for everything that she did for us. Lauren was always easy to get ahold of and made sure we were top priority when talking to us. We would recommend her to every couple! We couldn’t have done it without her. Mr. & Mrs. Morris 10.14.23

I can't say enough good things about Lauren as our day of coordinator. From the moment she stepped into our rehearsal, I knew she was the perfect planner for us and for our bridal party. She kept everyone on track, she made our dream reception area so perfect, she let our family help, but took over when needed. She solved problems that didn't need mine or my partners input and even when she did have to ask us something, she already had plans of how to best deal with it or solve the problem. We were supposed to get late night pizza delivered and when it wasn't there on time, she called the establishment. Come to find, they had our order but no one to deliver it. Lauren jumped in her car and went to grab it for us to make sure we got the late night snack everyone needed. She stayed until the very end of the evening and helped clean up to make sure we didn't leave anything behind or anything out of order. I'm so grateful for Lauren, our wedding was the talk of our family and I know so much of that is due to Lauren's incredible planning.

Lauren was a professional and took so much pressure off the bride and mom the day of. Her setup and tear down of the venue was a lifesaver. We originally weren’t going to book anyone for day of coordination and we changed our mind halfway through planning and booked her, and we are glad for it!

Lauren was absolutely incredible!!! She made our wedding day flawless and went way above and beyond what I personally even thought would be done. She kept us on schedule the rehearsal day and wedding day as well. I appreciate you so much, Lauren!!

I am going to start off by saying I was reluctant to hire a wedding coordinator because I am a very organized person who frankly likes to be in control. With that being said, I can humbly and honestly say that our wedding day wouldn't have been what it was without Lauren. I didn't have to answer any questions, worry about vendors, or even think about what time it was or where I needed to be; Lauren had it all under control and we are truly thankful for that. On the day of our wedding, she orchestrated the entire event with a grace and precision that left us in awe. Every transition, every moment, every detail was flawlessly executed. This efficiency had an incredible ripple effect – it meant that we, as brides, could truly relax and immerse ourselves in the joy of the day. We didn't have to worry about a single thing because Lauren had it all covered. Thanks to Lauren's incredible dedication and expertise, our wedding day was an absolute dream come true. We were able to savor every moment, from getting ready to walking down the aisle, knowing that Lauren had it all in hand. Her calming, positive presence and ability to handle any situation allowed us to be fully present and enjoy our day to the fullest.

Lauren did an amazing job coordinating our wedding. She navigated all of the vendor drop offs, set up, tore down, and was ready for any question we had. She made our wedding day completely stress free so we could enjoy every moment of the day. Would definitely recommend to others!

Lauren was an absolute pleasure to work with as our Day of Coordinator for our wedding. She was incredibly organized, took initiative in every way, and help make our dream wedding a reality! She helped us create timelines, gave us valuable input and ideas, kept all our vendors in the loop and organized, and made the process so easy and as stress-free as possible! On top of that she was sweet as could be, but firm and an advocate for us on the day of when it came to keeping our venue cool, etc. I could not imagine our day going any smoother than it did, I truly don't know how she did it all! She was everywhere and anywhere, and took care of every detail with ease- or at least she made it seem with ease :). She took my vision and executed it perfectly! You know you have an awesome Day of Coordinator, when your whole Bridal party and more than a handful of guests mentioned to us what an outstanding job she did. If you are planning a wedding, don't hesitate to hire Lauren!! You will not be disappointed, and quite the opposite you will be blown away!!

Lauren was fantastic to work with! I am with The Bend Event Center, and we had the opportunity to work together on a wedding in March. The communication from her was timely, organized and professional. The timeline tool she uses was so easy to follow and very appreciated for us as a vendor to have. She was extremely kind and you could tell she had great passion for her client's and ensuring their day was absolutely perfect. We can't reccomend Lauren and her team enough to be a part of your special day!

I am a DJ in the Des Moines Area that has work alongside with Lauren. She is very attentive to detail and helped make the night flow extremely smoothly. If you are looking at her for your wedding planner I highly recommend!

It's always nice working with you at events! Your passion and professionalism makes it easy to work with you!

Lauren with Elizabeth Bliss is always great to work with! Being a florist in the area, when I hear that a client has selected Elizabeth Bliss Events as a coordinator, I am confident that they will receive the best service. It is also great knowing that I will be working with someone who will make my job easier as well from her communication to her detailed day!

We hired Lauren as our same day coordinator, however that title is very misleading. Lauren did so much more then that! She met with me several times throughout the process making sure we were both on the same page and making sure if I needed anything I knew she was there to help. Lauren is well versed in the wedding industry and can help guide you with any questions you have. She never once made me feel I had to do what she was suggesting. Skip to wedding week, without Lauren things would have been a disaster! The venue became extremely hard to work with, and I was at my wits end with them, but Lauren was there to step in and make sure things were done how we wanted them and not how the venue wanted them. We had a slideshow malfunction that Lauren stayed way late to figure out, which again refers back to doing way more then stopping at the name of the job title. I honestly could keep going with compliments, but if you read this far just take my word for it, you will not regret hiring Lauren!

I could not be more happy with our daughters wedding day! Everything was beautiful and so perfect! Lauren really went out of her way to make sure everything went smoothly, stayed on schedule and she made everything look so beautiful! Thank you so much Elizabeth Bliss! I couldn’t recommend anyone else more!! You are the best! If you think you don’t need a wedding planner, you’re wrong! It made the day enjoyable with less stress!

Lauren is great! Hardworking, organized, prepared in every way and a joy to work with! As a photographer in the wedding industry for nearly a decade, I've met several planners but never have I met one as engaged with her clients, communicative and willing to do whatever she needs to to keep the day smooth for her clients! I can't wait to work with her again!

We had a lot of unique elements to our wedding and Lauren worked very hard to make them happen. She was energetic, positive, and really fun to work with!

Lauren has always went above and beyond from the moment we hired her. From traveling to Breckenridge to tour our venue for us, to setting up and finalizing all our details. Having a destination wedding for a bride is extremely stressful because if you’re unable to travel before the wedding you’re going in blind. Thankfully I had Lauren by my side. She was the best at making my vision come to life. She helped me mentally, physically and emotionally. We had a few bumps while planning and she always handled them professionally and immediately! Lauren blew all our expectations out of the water. I couldn’t have planned this wedding without her and I’m so thankful that we are coming out of this as life time friends! I would recommend Lauren to anyone and everyone planning a wedding! We love you Lauren!

As a venue Lauren impressed us very much. She worked very hard to make the couple’s vision for their event come to fruition. She was friendly and easy to work with and the other vendors on-site enjoyed working with her. I would highly recommend Lauren as a planner!

She is amazing and goes above and beyond working on setting up and cleaning.

We've had the pleasure of working with Lauren at a couple of weddings over the past year and she is awesome! As wedding photographers, we understand how important it is to have a coordinator that keeps things running smoothly. Lauren is always upbeat, friendly and cares about each of her wedding couples!

I cannot say it enough… get yourself a day of coordinator! As someone that loves planning and control, I thought it would be challenging to have someone else running things on the big day, but Lauren is a professional and after a few meetings, I knew she would rock it. She knew exactly what I wanted and executed it FLAWLESSLY on the day of. It was such a blessing to have Lauren to coordinate vendors, pull together the perfect decor, and organize all the moving parts (and people). Lauren allowed me, my partner and our families to enjoy the day and focus our attention there instead of worrying about details. We would definitely recommend Lauren to help on your big day and can’t thank her enough for all of her hard work!

Lauren was an amazing day of coordinator! She helped our wedding day and rehearsal go so smooth and she is also very fun and knows how to have a good time with the wedding party and guests! :) You will be in great hands with Lauren as your coordinator! She is very responsive to all questions and planning leading up to the big day.
