Ty Jones Sent on 03/18/2024Everyone needs a Korie in their corner!
Charming, fun, and highly-professional, Korie and her team at Bliss Events are the ULTIMATE ASSET every couple needs to have in their wedding arsenal.
Korie provided everything from ideas, vendor recommendations, strategy and organizing docs, and day-of support to make me and my wife's wedding day a literal dream come true.
If you're reading this, I would highly recommend Korie and Bliss Events to anyone - my family, my friends, my mailman, people walking by on the street, etc. - getting married in the San Diego area.
WE LOVE KORIE (See the pic below).Bliss Events's reply:
Thank you Ty, for your great review of Korie! We appreciate you sharing your experience with the Wedding Wire community :) -

Adrienne N. Sent on 11/07/2023Ashley from Bliss made my Darlington House wedding day PERFECT
We hired Ashley as our 6-week-out coordinator to take us to the finish line of wedding planning and it was worth every penny. Ashley is so knowledgeable and had experience working with our venue and ALL of our vendors previously. 6 weeks before, we passed off all of our vendor contracts and details we had figured out so far and Ashley took it from there. She was so organized and communicative (with a lightning fast response time) and gave me and my fiancee a clear checklist to keep us on track leading up to the big day.
In addition to coordinating all of the vendors, Ashley even sent out a details email to our whole wedding party which gave them all the info they needed for the day.
The day of the wedding she led a perfect ceremony, took care of displaying all of my personal details and decor (and getting it returned at the end of the night), and kept everything running smoothly and on-time.
My family complimented me on being a "chill bride" but thats only because I had Ashley behind me, taking care of the details and alleviating my stress. I would definitely recommend working with Ashley on your wedding!Bliss Events's reply:
Thank you Adrienne for such a great review of our awesome Ashley! We appreciate that you took the time to write such kind things :) -

We absolutely LOVED working with Korie. We instantly hit it off and she went above and beyond to ensure the vision of our day came to life. From the very first consultation, Korie provided exceptional advice that you can only get from years of experience. She reassured us at every turn and made the entire process not only easy - but loads of fun! Could not recommend her enough!Bliss Events's reply:
We are THRILLED to hear of your amazing experience with Korie! Thank you so much for your review :) -

Mn Sent on 10/09/2023Bliss Events EASIEST decision you will ever make!!
Ashley from Bliss Events made our wedding day the most special day of our lives that we will cherish forever. I am someone that gets overwhelmed easily and Ashley kept me sane. Ashley knew exactly how to approach each step of the planning process. She is extremely organized and trustworthy. Ashley transformed our vision to life and went above and beyond with making sure every detail was perfect. She guided us through many options and was always so understanding, flexible and kind. Right when we hired her she created a very detailed and incredibly helpful timeline. She also turned my chaotic "vision board" into a simplified layout that she was able to send to the florists, venue coordinator etc. Throughout the year of planning the wedding, she was very responsive to emails, and helped us understand the wedding venue's contract. We always felt like we were in great hands and that she was taking care of everything for us. Her and her team did such a great job during the day of the wedding, all of our guests kept complimenting how it was the best wedding they've ever been to. Lastly, all of the vendors we chose went above and beyond for us because of Ashley's fantastic relationships with them. Ashley and her assistants were amazing in putting together our dream wedding. If someone or anything was out of place she fixed it in a moment. I've been to some weddings where the wedding planner can be very abrasive and sometimes even rude. Ashley somehow kept everyone in check including catering, photographers, the DJ, the guests, the wedding party etc, all while having the most kind and positive energy. She was able to keep the wedding going without a hitch while smiling and having fun. Ashley's energy rubbed off on the guests, myself, and the wedding party. The wedding moved so smoothly and everything was timed perfectly. The assistants were also fabulous and brought fun energy while making sure everything got done in a timely fashion. Ashley and her team were so on top of everything to the point where I basically just showed up to the wedding and everything was taken care of. This amazing team truly allowed us to fully enjoy our wedding and be present in the moment.Bliss Events's reply:
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for taking the time to leave this great review! We are truly blessed to have Ashley on our team and i am glad she made your wedding so wonderful. -

I had an incredible experience working with Rachel for coordination of my wedding. When I was searching for a wedding coordinator, I wanted to make sure they had plenty of experience and were knowledgeable about the wedding industry since I had very little knowledge to begin with like most people. I interviewed 5 wedding coordinators and knew immediately within the first few minutes; Rachel would be easy to work with and would offer advice/tips throughout the whole process even though I only requested the month of coordination package. During the consultation she asked me so many questions, which brought up things I hadn’t thought of. She also provided advice for asking a friend to officiate for the very first time during the free consultation. She was very responsive throughout the entire process and has a very professional demeanor.
The month of the wedding she was SO organized. We had a lengthy appointment to review the vendor contracts in detail, then she communicated the necessary changes to each vendor prior to the wedding, which ultimately ended up saving me some money! She would color code all her documents and timelines so I could keep track of changes easily. I did not have to communicate with any of my vendors the month of the wedding and could refer them to Rachel at any time. This alleviated A LOT of stress leading up to the wedding.
The weekend of the wedding she was calm and collected which helped everyone including the wedding party, my family, and myself enjoy their time and soak in the experience. We were always ahead of schedule per the timeline she created so we could enjoy the day of wedding as much as possible. I received so many compliments from family members and friends at the wedding stating how wonderful a job Rachel did during the wedding and couldn’t agree more. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND working with Rachel for any of her wedding coordination services if you are looking for an organized, professional, and very knowledgeable coordinator for your wedding!Bliss Events's reply:
Hi Alex - Thank you SO MUCH for your review! I loved work with you on your gorgeous wedding! What a spectacular event you had :) -

Justine B. Sent on 11/05/2023Amazing Experience
Working with Korie and her team at Bliss was an exceptional experience from start to finish. My husband and I had 0 clue what we were doing, and Korie helped us feel prepared and relieved of stress the entire year leading up to our big day.
From answering our emails and texts immediately with answers to our questions, from sending us information, assignments, instructions, ways to stay organized on track, inspiration, must-haves + nice-to-haves, helping us navigate contracts with our vendors, affordable ideas to add more detail on the day of, the way she went above and beyond with some of the decor she had on hand and the candles she let us rent, running out for last minute drink ingredients on the day of, and so much more.
On the actual wedding day itself, we didn't have to think about a single logistic or problem. Korie and her team were ON IT. Friends and family had even commented on how amazing Korie was during our rehearsal. She kept us all on track, kept us organized, and left room for excitement and celebration.
She not only made us feel like we were taken care of and in good hands, but she made us feel cared for. She genuinely wants the best for you and your family on your wedding day and the days leading up. I would recommend her a thousand times, and we are forever grateful for her excellence and care.
She's a PRO with a LOT of heart, and she could literally run the world.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!Bliss Events's reply:

The best!
If you’re planning an event, use Bliss Events!! They are the absolute best!!
From the first meeting, we were so impressed with Rachel’s organization, the kinds of questions she asked (which made us feel so seen!), and her kindness!
Rachel really heard what we wanted from our wedding (unorthodox as some of the ideas may have been haha) and did such an incredible job pairing us with vendors! All of the vendors were not only awesome to work with but did such a great job! It was a truly amazing day for us and her expertise and vision allowed us to have a wedding that truly surpassed our dreams!!
I will look back fondly on the planning process. The timeline of wedding planning—from getting the big vendors like catering, florals, photography, and rentals to the details like place settings and reminding us to start looking for parent gifts—worked so well! We cannot thank Rachel enough for all of the hard work that she put into our wedding organization, for reminding us about tasks when we got really busy at work, and for keeping us on track.
Our wedding day was absolutely perfect! I would not change a single thing! From the very beginning of the day through to the very end, Rachel made us all feel so relaxed and like everything was taken care of. All I, as the bride, had to do was get ready and remember to eat and hydrate before. And during the actual wedding, I didn’t have to stress about a thing! I could just revel in the feeling of being married and enjoy time with my friends and family in an absolutely magical setting!
Everything was incredible!! I would not change a single thing!Bliss Events's reply:
Emily, we really had the best time, didn't we?!? I loved working with you, E, J, & V on planning your most special day. Thank you so much for choosing me! -

Timmy M. Sent on 03/22/2023Couldn't Speak More Highly of Bliss
If you are on the fence about getting a coordinator please listen and use Bliss Events. As a typical "we can handle it" male, I didn't really see the point of getting a coordinator. I thought it wasn't necessary but I can say this was the best decision/money spent on our wedding. Korie did an amazing job and relieved so much stress in the planning process and the day of the event. I didn't have to worry about anything because of the phenomenal job from Korie. We had monthly calls the year of the event and had a master excel sheet that had everything single detail we needed for a flawless event. The organization is world class and she is a master in the wedding planning field. We got married last week at Kona Kai and it was the perfect day thanks to Korie. I trust her word with my life, she recommended our videographer and DJ; both were excellent. If you are still reading call Bliss now and book.Bliss Events's reply:
Thank you Timmy, we are very appreciative of your review! We are so happy that you had such a great experience. -

Betty C. Sent on 11/02/2022Bliss Events is the way to go!
We worked with Rachel from Bliss Events and had the best experience. Bliss Events has many packages with different levels of involvement to work with what you're looking for. We went with month of coordinator but never felt restricted in our communication with her. Working with Rachel felt like working with a close friend that just wanted to make sure the day went off seamlessly for our special day and that is exactly what her and her team delivered. Rachel is a professional and communication with her was always easy, clear, and efficient. She worked to manage all of our vendors and they commended her on the details and scheduling she provided. We had a fabulous day and owe so much of it to Rachel.Bliss Events's reply:
Thank you Betty for your kind words and support! Working with you and Kai was a wonderful experience for me too. I have such great memories of your beautiful wedding! -

Natasha S. Sent on 11/18/2022Bliss Events is the best there is!!
Rachel from Bliss Events is the most thorough, detailed, and thoughtful planner. She made my wedding at Estancia go flawlessly! She referred me to incredible vendors and completely ran the show leading up to the wedding and on the wedding day. She does not overlook ANY detail and takes notes on everything. She is so responsive and has amazing ideas and input on how to create an immaculate wedding. As soon as my family met Rachel at the ceremony rehearsal, they were all beyond impressed with her kindness, assertiveness, and level of detail. She already knew everyone's names and had everything so organized, even distributed handouts of the wedding weekend timeline to 13 family members and highlighted the parts that pertained to them. She confirmed every vendor, their arrival time, and made it so I did not have to lift a finger on my wedding day. At the end of the night, she even put all of the wedding keepsakes back in my room, even down to our escort cards, menus, and all the details. If you are looking for a wedding planner in San Diego, there is no one better than Rachel and her team. Look no further and book her immediately as she is worth every penny and her value is tremendous. She will be your most important wedding vendor and make everything go exactly as you requested. We love you Rachel, you are an incredibly hard working woman who gets so much done in a day all while having a kind and loving heart. I will be referring you to everyone I know getting married in San Diego, and I miss you already!!!Bliss Events's reply:
Thank you so much Natasha for your support and kind words in your review. You and Nick are very special and I am honored to have been part of your wedding planning. -

Make your wedding planning feel like a piece of cake!
Korie from Bliss Events made my wedding a piece of cake! My husband and I are super busy people. I had an exact idea of how I wanted the wedding to be and Korie just made it happen. There was zero stress before the wedding and on the wedding day from her side. We honestly planned everything early on and it felt like hardly planning at the end. The wedding was flawless and so enjoyed by our guests. I would love to do more events with Bliss and Korie, but I do not want to ever get married again! I have found my person and Bliss and Korie made it possible to just enjoy all the memorable moments with ease! Thanks Bliss and Korie again. You are a 100% plus!!!Bliss Events's reply:
Brenda thank you so much for the photos!!! And the awesome review of our dear Korie. We appreciate you :) -

Best coordinator!
I’m really sad that my husband and I didnt get a picture with Korie. She has been our coordinator since Summer 2020. We didn’t meet in person until April 2022! When I first started the planning process, I was all over the place and I didn’t have a vision board of what I wanted. And then the pandemic hit and everything was on hold. The pandemic gave me time to re-organize my ideas and decide exactly how I wanted my wedding to look like. Plus, it gave me the chance to find the PERFECT venue, Alila Marea Encinitas. I had a different venue booked for my initial wedding date for 2021. I was over the initial venue and didn’t want to get married there anymore. There was some ambiguity in the contract and Korie was able to help me terminate our contract and book Alila Marea.
Korie is very organized, knowledgeable, punctual and she made sure I was always on track. After each phone/zoom session, I always felt motivated to get things done. My husband and I have very busy schedules and she was very accommodating with our meeting times. I booked my second venue in October 2021 and we planned my wedding in 7.5 months.
Korie had sent us a very detailed timeline and there was very little room for delays. And I loved that! She is all about presentation. I didn’t have the guts to tell my officiant (my brother-in-law) to not use his iPad. I didn’t even have to tell Korie and she told him no. Korie was very thorough during our rehearsal. She made sure EVERYONE understood their roles. Even on the day of our ceremony, I could see Korie at the end of the aisle giving my husband and I cues on when to pause to kiss, kiss again and then dip. She’s on top of it! No room for errors! I love it. My husband and I are in healthcare and there is absolutely no room for mistakes, so we get it. Korie will give you suggestions on ways to cut costs and save on time. She really does look out for you.
Most of my family were driving down from LA and OC. My wedding started 15 minutes later because there was an accident on the freeway and more than ½ the guests were not there. Other than that, I know my wedding would have started at exactly 4pm. We were in line and ready to walk down the aisle at 345pm. All of Korie’s spreadsheets were easy to navigate and it helped me keep my tasks and guests organized. I think I would have been a BRIDEZILLA if it wasn’t for Korie’s support and organizational skills. She would take care of most communications with our vendors and just CC’d me in them. If I had a question about something, she would immediately text the vendor and I would get an answer asap.
Korie made sure that I would have ZERO stress on my wedding day; and I did for the most part. The brief moment of stress that occurred was not due to Korie or her team of Alila Marea. The wedding was perfect and our guests had such a wonderful time. Everyone said our wedding was the perfect way to come out of the pandemic/isolation. I guess it was worth the wait! All but one of the vendors that Korie recommended were great. BE Studios, DJ Grizzley, Aw Snap Photos, UCSD Lion Dancers, VG Donuts & Bakery, San Diego Paella were all very easy to communicate with, punctual and none of the listed vendors gave me any problems. Korie even made sure we had red envelopes ready for the Lion dance!
My florist/designer had made a mess and didn’t bring enough staffing. Korie and her assistants rolled up their sleeves and with no complaints helped out the florist. They moved and washed all the Charger plates. They helped put together the place cards on the escort display wall. This was the responsibility of the design team. Korie and her assistants along with the entire hotel staff cleaned up the mess made by the florist. If Korie wasn’t ON-TOP of it, I think I would have had several meltdowns. I only had one brief meltdown and it was out of my or Korie’s control. My florist didn’t finish the centerpieces and had left!. I was mortified with what I saw and Korie calmed me down. She tried her best to reach the florist, but the florist/designer was nowhere to be found. Even though my wedding is over, Korie is still working with me to settle a few items with that vendor.
I hope I can work with Korie and her team in the near future. Whether it’s a baby shower or anniversary, I will definitely reach out to Korie. Thank you Kore and Bliss Events! Thank you for such a beautiful, memorable, fun and organized wedding!Bliss Events's reply:

Korie was the absolute best month-of coordinator we could have ever asked for. She helped us solve countless last minute problems and there were so many things she solved day of that I didn't hear anything about until after the wedding. Our family and friends raved to us about how helpful and "on-it" she was and I honestly don't know what we would have done without her. Our day was organized, smooth, and FUN and it was almost all because we were working with her. THANK YOU!Bliss Events's reply:

Kristin Sent on 05/15/2022Best San Diego Wedding Coordinator
5+ Stars for our San Diego Wedding Coordinator, Ashley, of Bliss Events! I just got married a month ago, so this is a very recent review that I hope any San Diego brides looking for THE BEST Wedding Planner will see.
Ashley has the most wonderful personality for this critical role. She is warm, kind-hearted, calming, approachable, super responsive to any inquiry you have throughout the planning process and puts you at ease every step of the way. She's organized, keeps your timeline on track and is a joy to work with. Details that you may not think about or overlook - she's on it. Even if you are a laid back bride, everyone gets wedding planning stress at some point and I couldn't imagine a better right hand gal to guide us through it all.
My wedding day was beyond my expectations, all my vendors were on top of things courtesy of Ashley's leadership, and everything was executed to perfection! I can't recommend her enough - my mom and I LOVED her! Hope anyone who gets to work with her benefits in the way that I did!Bliss Events's reply:
Hi Kristin, we are so happy to hear that your wedding was beyond your expectations! And we agree that Ashley is incredible. Thank you for the review! -

Mike J. Sent on 03/24/2022Amazing on every level!
I honestly am tearing up writing this review because I am overwhelmed with how truly amazing Ashley was as a wedding planner. I will start by saying she is one of the kindest humans you will ever meet - with every interaction I had with her I felt how genuine and real she was, and I truly appreciated that about her.
Along with being an amazing human here is why I would hire her in every lifetime to be the person by my side through the wedding planning process.
Knowledgeable- any questions I had for Ashley she knew exactly how to answer them. If there was something I envisioned for our wedding day she knew what vendor the perfect fit would be. She has an outstanding preferred vendor list but she also knows so many vendors not on her list so she can give you solid, researched advice on why or why not to choose someone. She is also great at matching personalities and great at pairing vendors together to make sure your day goes exactly how you want it.
Organized - She and her team are incredibly organized from the moment you hire them. Ashley has a very laid out plan and timeline and tells you EXACTLY what you need to do and when to do it so you feel completely at ease with the process. She uses a program called Aisle Planner and it houses everything you need in there, from your guests names and addresses, to seating charts, to checklists. Its super user friendly and makes the planning process incredibly smooth.
Detail Oriented - Along with being extremely organized Ashley is very detail oriented she will listen to what is important to you down to the smallest item and makes sure that is incorporated in your day exactly how you hoped it would be.
Communication - Ashley is impeccable with communication - I highly recommend getting unlimited texting and emailing with her. She is quick to respond and she always seems to have the answers. She is also amazing at calming you during those "stressful times" which made me feel so much more at ease.
Honest - Ashley is extremely honest. As mentioned before she is extremely sweet but she is also realistic, if you give her a budget she will not only be honest about how you are tracking on your budget but she will tell you if something is "a bit over the top" and suggest other items that might work in place.
Team captain - This would be the best way to describe Ashley the day of your wedding - She leads "all the players" to victory. She is in constant contact with your vendors and wedding party before the wedding day to make sure everyone knows what is going on and what to expect. She is on top of the timeline the day of to make sure everything is running smoothly. And although she keeps you on timeline she also knows exactly how to move things around so your day doesn't skip a beat. Example: My mom was an hour late for pictures and video. Ashley shifted the schedule so that we could still capture all the photos/videos we wanted while still making us on time for the ceremony.
I could go on and on about Ashley - I cannot rave more about her skills, attention to detail, knowledge, personality and overall demeanor. I would be happy to personally talk to anyone about our experience with Ashley and how she made our day PERFECT! I would highly recommend her and her team to anyone. I will take it a step further and say that I doubt you will meet another wedding planner who cares more about what she does or who will help you plan your day as if it was her own. She is INCREDIBLE ON EVERY LEVEL!Bliss Events's reply:
Wow Mike THANK YOU very much for sharing such wonderful thoughts about our dear Ashley! We are thrilled that you had such an amazing experience. -
