The Blissful Elite Weddings and Events

Kandis is amazing! As someone who has a pretty busy life, she made planning a wedding easy! She is knowledgeable about the industry and is overall just a wonderful person! She made our dream wedding come to life with ease and I could not recommend her more!

The Blissful Elite was an absolute pleasure to work with and so crucial to my big day! Kandes kept everything on time and flowing perfectly. She was so kind, professional, and personable. She helped keep me organized and on time through the whole wedding planning process and made sure I had the wedding of my dreams! She was always a text away, so quick to respond to any questions I had. If you’re looking for a planner that will be there for you, stand up for you and what you need, and keep all your vendors in check then you found the one :)

I called a couple planners while researching vendors, and immediately felt that Kandes was not only knowledgeable of the industry, but organized and reliable. Any promise she made of when she would have something done by was met. I hired her as a day of coordinator, but as part of her package, I was able to ask her questions the entire process, and she answered quickly every time. On the wedding day, I never had to worry about what was coming next—she really does think of everything and let you enjoy your night. You will feel so safe with Kandes on your team!

Kandes made our wedding stress-free and seamless from start to finish! After months of indecision, my husband and I opted for a micro-wedding, and shortly after we found Kandes. We hit it off and found her knowledge and advice on the small details to be more helpful than we could've imagined. Kandes provided inspiration ideas for details that we had overlooked, but made the biggest difference in making the day special and beautiful. She was also helpful at finding vendors local to our venue, and they all truly living up to her praise!

Kandes is the best!!! We hired her to be the day of coordinated for our wedding and she was a star!! During our initial meeting she went over everything with us and helped us come up with a to-do list for the things we still needed to decide on. During our venue walk through, she went over every detail we could think of. Our venue was a completely DIY location (Pocahontas State Park) so we had her help set up and tear down. Everything was exactly how I imagined it!!! She sent updates all morning with pictures of the set up and let me know when all of our vendors arrived so I knew everyone was exactly where they were supposed to be and I didn’t have to worry about it. She made sure the night ran seamlessly so that me and my husband could focus on enjoying our night, visiting with guests and dancing the night away. Kandes was reasonably priced and I am so glad we hired her!!! I cannot recommend her highly enough - she is an all star at what she does and will make your wedding day low stress and so much fun!

We cannot recommend Kandes enough! My husband and I hired Kandes to coordinate our wedding rehearsal and wedding day in October 2023 and she was the absolute perfect person for the job. She was professional and kind, and allowed us to enjoy our wedding day to the fullest! Kandes was so helpful throughout the lead-up to the event, and while our rehearsal night was the first time we met her in person, she knew exactly what we wanted and how to make that vision come to life. Not everything went according to plan on the morning of our wedding day, but she kept us calm and made sure that we were able to get back on schedule and that everything ran smoothly as soon as we got to the venue. Her problem solving and people management skills were spectacular! A side perk is that she helped keep the party going all night! Kandes' expertise was greatly appreciated and I can't imagine what things would have been like without her! I would give her 10+ stars if I could <3

Kandes was wonderful. I used the partial planning package and I'm so glad I did. Extremely communicative every step of the way keeping me updated on what should be happening next, while being very encouraging and supportive! The zoom calls throughout the process were so helpful. I had a rainy wedding day and she was so encouraging and optimistic and handled all the little hiccups that happened with other vendors

We had the pleasure of having Kandes as our wedding coordinator and she did an exceptional job. What most impressed us from the beginning is that unlike the other wedding coordinators we interviewed, Kandes read our story on The Knot and knew so much about us and the type of wedding we wanted. She was always available and responds right away! She even surprised us with a wedding gift, a gift card to the restaurant of our first date! How thoughtful!The day of our wedding went smoothly as Kandes had a timeline that was given to all of our vendors. The day was perfect!! If you want professionalism, someone who is attentive, kind, knowledgeable, and responsive, Kandes is the wedding coordinator for you!

Kandes was a blessing to have during the wedding planning process and our wedding day! We hired Kandes with less than two months to go before our wedding day after our venue was sold and we experienced issues with the new owners. I remember when I first spoke to her over the phone, she was so kind and listened to all of my frustrations. She validated my worries and gave us reassurance that we could figure this out together. The wedding industry often has their business interests in mind and not those of the bride/groom. I just needed someone to back me up and be on my side, and Kandes was exactly that! She was a friend and a huge support during the process! Kandes attended our planning meetings with the venue’s on-site coordinator in person and on zoom. When I met Kandes for the first time in person, she presented herself professionally both in dress and in her mannerisms. Anytime I needed Kandes, she was a text away and always so caring! As for the wedding day, Kandes ran everything smoothly!! Again, she showed up in professional attire, with a clipboard ready to go, and a bag of necessities. There wasn’t a moment that I felt that family or friends needed to step in, which was my whole goal. I wanted my family and bridal party to feel as guests and not as workers. I never wanted them to miss a special moment in the day. Kandes was always one step ahead and kept me informed if needed throughout the day! I know that anyone who hires Kandes will find her to be a blessing in their wedding planning process, and I am thankful for my decision to hire her!

Kandes was our day-of coordinator and I'm so glad she was a part of our wedding day! She did a great job getting to know us as a couple, our wants and wishes, the feel of our wedding day, and our schedule. Since she knew everything from our big picture to specific details on our checklist, I felt like I could just relax and enjoy my wedding day, knowing Kandes was taking care of whatever last minute decisions came up! She also helped me book our hair & make-up vendor a month out from the wedding day, which was above and beyond. Cannot recommend her enough!
