Bliss Events

I had the BEST experience working with Rachel Welland and her amazing team at Bliss Events. Rachel helped me coordinate my wedding, provided wonderful vendor referrals that I am so thankful for, and helped me stay organized! Emily Bennett coordinated my wedding the day of with two assistants; she did such a great job keeping everything on track, making sure everything was running smoothly. It was truly a stress-free experience on my wedding day - they were worth every penny. I would highly recommend their services to any bride in San Diego or Southern California who wants a truly professional, A+ experience.

Rachel and Paige did an amazing job with our wedding in June. They are very organized and very detailed oriented. Everything went so smooth and was exactly as planned!! I would highly recommend them!!

I hired Rachel as my Wedding Coordinator and it was the best decision that I could have made. We had a destination wedding in San Diego with about 70 guests. Despite having chosen San Diego as the city for our wedding, we had never been to the fair city and had no contacts in the city at all. I hired Rachel based on online reviews, and I was not disappointed. Although I hired Rachel for "month-of" coordination, she was instrumental in providing advice from the very beginning (up to 6 months before). She always responded promptly to emails and phone calls and was at all times incredibly professional.

We relied on Rachel for all our vendor recommendations, and she did not disappoint. All of the vendors went above and beyond, just like Rachel. She was also very conscious of our budget and always had ideas for efficient ways of saving money, and often even offered to pick up, drop off or return items for us to avoid incurring additional fees. We really appreciated this.

On the day of our wedding, Rachel did a truly fantastic job. She had every little detail under control. I am a very organized person, and I thought I had covered most of the details, but Rachel was at a whole other level and anticipated everything for us. Our family and friends commented to us on what an amazing job she did, and we completely agree.

I wholeheartedly recommend Rachel to you as a Wedding Coordinator. She is smart, professional, patient and she gets the job done! Thanks to Rachel, we had our dream wedding! You would be very lucky to have Rachel as your Coordinator.

WOW. So much I have to say! First of all, Matt & I were the winners of "The Ultimate San Diego Wedding". We had NO idea what we were getting in to! In a little less than 2 months we had our Ultimate Dream come true... thanks to Rachel Welland. We had no worries as Rachel planned our wedding and dealt with all the vendors directly in such a professional (and personal) manner that this experience has been beyond belief. I had always wondered what it would be like to be a wedding planner.... SO MUCH work! Rachel had everything planned out to the "T".... a timeline for the whole wedding party to follow and the whole 9 yards. Let alone she was my "personal" savior the day of the wedding. Rachel, you know what I mean :) There are not words to describe how wonderful this whole expierence has been! Wishing you nothing but the best!

You can definetly tell why she is THE BEST in the business! SO AMAZING!

Hiring Rachel and Bliss Events was the best decision we did for our wedding. We hired her as a month of coordinator but she was extremely helpful long before the month of the wedding. She recommended wonderful vendors, which was very helpful because I didn't have to search through hundreds of vendors online and I wasn't blindly searching either. It is so helpful to know that someone has worked with them and they are reliable, professional, and a lot of times very cool and very fun.

Rachel took the reins for the last month of the wedding. She became the primary contact for all the vendors and would relay information to me as I would need it or ask me questions that I would need to answer. It was nice having one go to person so I didn't have to organize all the vendors. I would definitely recommend her if you are a disorganized person, as she would be very helpful in organizing you; but I almost would rather recommend her for organized, detail oriented people (like myself) as she will step in and let you relax and enjoy your wedding day. Our wedding day ran so smoothly from our and our guests point of view. If anything went wrong, we didn't hear about it. We had nothing but compliments on how nicely everything flowed and how beautiful everything was.

Rachel is superb at communication, she responds so quickly and efficiently to emails. She is very professional but at the same time very friendly and approachable and easy to work with. She is good at directing and taking control without being demanding. She is very organized, detail-oriented, very knowledgeable and gives great advice. Since most people have never planned a wedding before, it is good to have someone there who can answer any questions when it comes to etiquette, planning, order of events, vendors etc. We loved working with Rachel and her team and would do it all over again!!

Incredible! Staci was my planner (July 2010) and she was fabulous. Our work schedule is very hectic and Staci was very flexible with us. She helped as much or as little as we wanted. We had a lot of out-of-town guests and many moving parts to the wedding week. Staci was there for everything coordinating vendors, us, guests. She will give you advice on how to customize your wedding to what you want. We could not have done it without her.
A wedding planner is a must for your wedding if you want to stay sane! Bliss Events is the way to go. They are professional, they are experts, but more importantly they are personable and really fun to work with. Thank you Staci!

Stacie was absolutely AMAZING!!!! Our wedding wouldn't have ran so perfectly and smoothly without her help and ideas. Stacie made sure the finest details were perfect and in order. She was always so flexible with our schedule and went above and beyond to make our day more than we both ever imagined it could be. Josh and I can't thank you enough Stacie. You are probably one of the sweetest, nicest, most genuine people i've ever met. You were such a blessing to have through our planning process and there with us on our special day!! xoxo, Courtney Hintzen :)

Rachel was fantastic!

Everything they did was fabulous, from the vendor referrals, to the decor help, to the timeline. I had the perfect wedding, like a dream come true!

Rachel was SO together and organized, knew exactly what to suggest and advise through each step of the process. Her help and suggestions truly made my day even more spectacular! The price was more than reasonable for the difference she made in the ease and organization of our wedding. There is no question in my mind that brides should use Bliss Events for their wedding planning- I have gotten so many compliments on how organized and tightly-run the whole wedding was. I love that I will always look back and remember that day (and the planning before!) as an enjoyable time instead of stressful and chaotic! Thanks so much to Rachel and Bliss Events!

Bliss Events provided me with so much peace of mind! My wedding day was so easy and fun, I totally trusted them to take care of everything and they did! My friends and family loved them too.

5 star doesn't even come close to how amazing Rachel and her team are. If I had to describe Rachel in one word...I would say lifeline!! She was BY FAR the best decision (other than my husband) that I made regarding our wedding!! :) Rachel is professional, very kind, thorough, and truly aimes to make your wedding the most wonderful and perfect day of your life! She is involved in your decision making, is always available to you, and takes so much stress off of you so you really can enjoy your day. We had Rachel plus three of her assistants, and our day went off without a hitch! They were not "in the way" at all, but were everywhere at the same time! I would hire Rachel for any party, any wedding, any event that needed planning period! She was a friend, a huge help and, like I said before, truly a lifeline from the beginning of planning all the way through the end of the reception. I can't thank her or recommend her enough! My wedding was perfect, and I can confidently say, it was Rachel's doing that made it so!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Bliss Events - their vendor recommendations saved my wedding! I was "thisclose" to hiring a vendor that a friend used, but my gut told me to go with Rachel's recommendation instead. Turns out the vendor my friend used did some really sketchy things and it turned into a very bad situation. I am so glad I hired Rachel and listened to her advice. Not to mention how smooth our rehearsal and wedding day (and night!) went, thanks to her. Any Bride and Groom would be LUCKY to have her as their Wedding Planner!!!

Rachel and her Assistants were the best!!! I feel so lucky that they were recommended to me for my wedding, they made it so easy and fun for me. Thank you!

Hiring Bliss Events for my wedding was the BEST thing I did in all of my planning! Rachel was so helpful, knowledgable, creative, friendly, and calm. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding experience, and I owe it to Rachel! Her vendor referrals saved me a lot of time and the vendors she referred were amazing! Any smart bride in San Diego will hire Rachel with Bliss Events.

The team at Bliss Events was wonderful at my wedding! I highly recommend them!

Rachel at Bliss Events was such an incredible help for us in planning our wedding. My husband, parents, and I were able to relax and enjoy our special weekend because we could trust 200% that Rachel had everything taken care of. I cannot recommend her enough!

Rachel and Christina from Bliss Events are amazing from start to finish! They really know exactly what their client's want and they know how to execute every details flawlessly. They correspond so well with our staff during all of the planning and help make the event smooth.

We love working with Bliss! Everything is planned to perfection, and the day is always in order with their team on site!

The Bliss girls are incredible! We were so excited to work with Christina for the first wedding at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center in San Diego. You can imagine the attention to detail needed to manage a first-time wedding at such a grand venue. Christina knocked it out of the park! She was calm and in control of everything the WHOLE day. Her smile is contagious, which makes working with her not only easy, but fun! We've had the pleasure of getting to know all of the Bliss girls and are confident that working with ANY of them would leave us feeling just the same :-D

Bliss events has a great attention to detail and are artistic in their work.

Working with Rachel, Staci and Christina is a blessing; Everything they do is well planned and thought through. I highly recommend them to brides and grooms.

We've had the pleasure of working with Rachel, Staci, and the Bliss team on quite a few weddings, and they ALWAYS deliver! These wonderful ladies truly understand what helps us as photographers have better success: they keep things organized, on time, and running smoothly in a seemingly effortless way. This way, our couples can relax and enjoy their day instead of worrying about the details. Of course, their stylish vision for creating absolutely gorgeous weddings in stunning locations helps, too ;) If you are looking for the best of the best, go with Bliss!
