    Connie and Dan

    There aren't words in the English language to express our gratitude for all your help in bringing our wedding together. This is truly the wedding of our dreams and couldn't have happened without your professional expertise, wonderful advice, and all the labor necessary to incorporate the homemade decor. I know we didn't make this an easy assignment for you! Thank you!

    Alisha and Dan

    Dan and I just wanted to make sure that you knew how grateful we are that we had you there for us throughout all of the wedding planning and extend our thanks for all of your help with our wedding. We appreciate that you answered all of our questions quickly, the way you organized our wedding, and the way you handled everything on the day of the wedding. Thanks to you, everything went smoothly, and our wedding turned out to be everything we had dreamed it would be.

    You were so amazing the way you handled everything from the late bridesmaids at the rehearsal to a wedding day change of Officiant. Everything went seamlessly, you fixed any problems that came up before I heard about them. I was able to completely enjoy the whole evening. You took care of everything, while I was mingling with the guests I would look up and see you breaking down the altarpiece, keeping the DJ on schedule, and making sure my photographer didn't miss any important pictures, not to mention handing us a goody bag with two entrees and two pieces of cake to take with us as we got in the limo to leave.. Perfect! We truly felt your presence on our wedding day was integral to the success and enjoyment of our wedding day, by everyone. Your professionalism and efficiency went a long way to smooth our frazzled nerves. Your friendliness to us, our vendors, family and friends was so appreciated, everyone loved you!

    We would gladly recommend your services to anyone needing a wedding coordinator. On a more personal note, we enjoyed your company, and we'll miss you. Thanks again for all of your help!

    Joy and Sam

    We can't thank you enough for your help in making our wedding such a success! In all of our planning, hiring you was definitely the smartest decision we made! Your attention to detail and your tireless commitment to keeping us organized and on schedule were amazing! In the last few days before the wedding, you were truly our calm in the eye of the storm. Thank you for all of your hard work and for making our wedding a seamless, beautiful, and magical event!

    Devra and Jeff

    Staci - Thank you so, so, so much for being the most amazing Wedding Coordinator! From our first phone call to our wedding day, you were an absolute pleasure to work with. You seemed to remember every last detail that I mentioned and followed through on all of it. You put me at ease when I felt stressed, and made my last month of planning seamless. Nobody could believe how calm I was, and I owe it all to you. The day after our wedding my Mom told me that she felt like a guest at the wedding - she knew she had nothing to worry about as she trusted you explicitly, and knew you had it under control. I second that! Thank you for everything!... Thank you!

    Cami and Joe

    Where oh where do I begin? You are amazing! Our wedding was an absolute dream come true. You helped us make our wedding weekend exactly what we wanted. Simple, elegant, fun. I think we definitely captured that. I remember all our meetings, e-mails, phone calls, and they were so fun! I miss planning with you. You couldn't have been more organized or more professional. I loved working with you. I cannot thank you enough for all your countless hours of work and dedication. It was perfect! I can't stop looking at the pictures! It was amazing- everyone's still talking about it!

    Alina and Patrick

    Dear Staci & Bliss Staff, A heartfelt thank you to you and your staff for making our daughter's most important day so memorable and fun! The level of professionalism, organization and attention to detail was executed with grace and ease. Your positive attitude and flexibility won our hearts over when we met you. I will be referring you to all my friends so that they may enjoy the personal & professional service that Bliss provides. (From Margie, Mother of the Bride)

    Kristin and Charles

    Even though we only hired Bliss Events for the Month of the event, they went far beyond and helped us wherever and whenever we needed it during the weeks leading up to the event. They left no detail to chance and I can't imagine having our wedding without them. At every step throughout the wedding, they were courteous and professional as they guided us through our fabulous day. Even during the very last moments of the reception, as I began to panic about finding taxicabs for our guests who needed transportation, they insisted that I spend time with my friends and family while they made the necessary arrangements.

    If we didn't have Bliss Events, our day would have been filled with stress and worry. Instead, it was the best day of our lives

    Andrea and Kyle

    From the Parents of the Bride: [We] want to say a big thank you to you for all you did in helping to make Andrea and Kyle's day so very special! I don't know if I expressed it to you while there... but everything you did was so appreciated and helped to take so much stress and worry off of our shoulders. You saw that every detail was addressed and made sure everything ran so smoothly. How nice it was to have you to stay in touch with all the various vendors and to make sure everyone was on the same page. I particularly want to thank you for all you did at the reception. I know there were so many details to see too and I am sure there were little fires that needed to be put out and you saw to it all. I really didn't have to think or worry about anything and for that I am so grateful!! We were able to fully enjoy the reception! Everything was set up so beautifully and was exactly like we have planned and envisioned. I believe everyone had a great time. I know Andrea and Kyle certainly did and that is what it is all about. How nice that they thought their own wedding was the best wedding they had ever been to!! Trying to plan a wedding long distance can be difficult... I am grateful we found and hired you! Again, thank you so very, very much for all you did!! Your attention to detail and being so organized made it all work and your being able to stay so calm, helped me to stay calm as well. Thank you!! Sincerely, Bill & Paula (Parents of the Bride)

    Renee and Max

    Dear Rachel, We just want to say THANK YOU for all your outstanding work on our wedding! We, along with all of our guests, were just absolutely amazed at how beautiful and well put together everything was. Many people told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to!

    All of your recommendations were fantastic. The flowers were beautiful and some guests took some home to enjoy. We also got many compliments on the Officiant and the DJ, and a lot of people were asking for 'seconds' on the cake! Not to mention the Hair & Makeup Artist and her Assistant made us all look great.

    It was truly a pleasure to work with you. You made a stressful and sometimes overwhelming experience much easier. I appreciate that you listened to our wants and needs and made them all work. Your attention to detail and organization were excellent and definitely made our day go perfectly. Thanks again for all your excellent work and giving us such a wonderful wedding day. Best Regards, Renee and Max

    Robyn and Jeff

    Dear Rachel, I have been wanting to thank you so much for your help with my wedding last November at the Estancia La Jolla. You were given tall orders to serve as the Month-Of Coordinator for a Professional Wedding Coordinator who had planned her own wedding to a tee... My vision and all my hard work could not have come to fruition without your attention to detail. My confidence in you allowed me to be a Bride, not a Wedding Coordinator, for that one special day. My friends and family were all shocked with how relaxed I was. And for that I cannot thank you enough.

    Dani and Josh

    My husband and I got married just over two weeks ago at the Hotel Del Coronado, in San Diego, CA. Without Bliss Events, our wedding would not have gone off as flawlessly as it did.

    It was their services the entire day of the wedding that I am so grateful for. They were constantly running around dealing with everything so that I wouldn't have to. Our ceremony and reception were absolutely perfect. They checked in with me throughout the night to tell me what was going to happen next, and just to make sure I was doing all right. They were not obtrusive, but caring. They dealt with all the happenings throughout the evening, so neither I nor my parents were bothered by paying bills or dealing with vendors.

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Bliss Events! I believe all the comments we received with the common message of, "I can't believe nothing went wrong!" are a testament to their expertise. My parents were impressed with not only how personable they are, but how well they do their job. Our wedding contact at the Del even commented on how great Bliss was and how she would surely refer her to future clients.

    Bliss Events far exceeded my expectations and I would readily recommend them to anyone I know getting married. Having them as our wedding coordinator allowed me and my husband to enjoy our wedding and worry about nothing other than having a great time!!!

    Patricia and Brian

    Rachel, I just can't tell you how grateful we are to have had you help us with the wedding. In my wildest dreams I couldn't have imagined a more perfect wedding. It was a perfect wedding. We are so grateful to you. All the vendors were absolutely great. From the photographer, to the flowers. My hair was awesome, the food was excellent, the steel drum player was so great and the beachgoers really enjoyed it too. All the little details you thought of and arranged, we are so impressed. I just can't say enough how wonderful the whole weekend was. We all had a great time and Brian and I now have such special memories of our wedding. Thank you just doesn't seem enough, you are one very special lady Rachel. All our best wishes, Pat & Brian

    Shirin and Mark

    I just wanted to write you and thank you once again for everything!! Our wedding was amazing...everything went exceedingly well! It was beyond anything we could have ever dreamed of. We keep getting calls and emails about how wonderful our wedding was from our friends and family. As you know, many people had traveled from far to come to our wedding and they were are so happy that they did. Thanks again! We could not have done it without you :) Love, Shirin & Mark

    Stephanie and Mike

    From the Parents of the Bride to Rachel (Owner of Bliss Events): "Rachel - I just wanted you to know that Christina Tolpa is fantastic. From the very first meeting with Stephanie, her first email to me, to the final good night from her the evening of the wedding. I just can't put into words the special way she always thought of other people's needs. For the way Christina would take those caring thoughts and turn them into deeds. She brightened up the day with her own special touch.

    Ron and I would like to express our sincere thanks for making our daughter's wedding a spectacular event. We truly feel without Christina this would not have been possible.

    Stephanie is referring her sorority sister to Christina for her wedding next year. I think a referral or referrals is the best way we can thank you.

    Congratulations on having someone like Christina as part of your staff. Sincerely, Ron & Phyllis (Parents of the Bride)"

    Ashley and Erick

    You are the best!!!

    WOW! What a day! Ashley, Erick, John and I could not have imagined that a day could go more smoothly. Our goal was for everyone to have fun and they did. We were completely at ease knowing that everything, I mean everything, would be taken care of by you. You are just fabulous at what you do. I would recommend you in a heart-beat!

    When they say I could have never done it without you, absolutely! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! (From the Mother of the Bride)

    Rudi and Lee

    Lee and I just want to thank you so much for all of your help during our planning and wedding day! In the month leading up to the event, just as we started to worry that we hadn’t thought of everything, you jumped in to help us think through what we wanted and reassured us that we had it all under control. You took care of so many of the tiny details. Even when I e-mailed or called you multiple times a day, you always responded quickly with answers! You ran our rehearsal without a hitch and reassuringly answered everyone’s questions. On the day of the wedding, I cannot tell you how much we appreciated your help. Everything from cuing the wedding parties to making sure the gifts and cards were secure at the end of the night. And, we know that you took care of a million things that night that we never even had to worry about. Several of our guests told us how beautiful the wedding was and how impressed they were with how smoothly everything went. We were able to enjoy the night for what it was, rather than worrying about the behind-the-scenes action. I’m so glad we found you and want to thank you for making our wedding so incredible! We loved working with you and will recommend you to all of our friends!
