She was literally everywhere without being seen, she sent us candid photos and my now husband and I both were like “I didn’t even realize she was there”, by this I mean she was there for everything without being in the forefront. Every detail was handled, managed, and crisis handled before we knew there was one. Highly recommend if you are looking for someone who blends in, but is pulling strings behind the curtains the whole time. Literally a godsend for us as our day of coordinator.

*Please read until the end…it’s worth it* Where do I start? We didn't think we needed a wedding planner until we had our first meeting with Shannon. We were looking for a day-of wedding planner because that was a requirement of the venue. Shannon was extremely affordable, organized and came to us on our first zoom meeting with a well-prepared list of tasks that she would be assisting us with. Even though my wife and I took care of a lot of planning on our own ahead of time, after speaking with her we soon realized that there were so many details that we had not considered. We knew at that moment she was the one and that we didn't need to look any further. We both felt like she knew exactly what we needed and that we could trust her with our most important day.
She immediately got to work and connected with our coordinator at our venue, as well as all our vendors to make sure that everyone was aware of details that matched our wishes. Since we were coming from out of town, she offered us a method of shipping a good amount of our decor, so we wouldn't have to transport anything ourselves. We had several meetings with her via zoom and despite some serious personal issues that she was dealing with, she didn't miss a beat with us. We could tell she really cared about making sure we stayed on track and that meant so much to us.
Once we were finally able to meet up with her in person, she quickly became acquainted with our family and friends and took the lead with organizing our rehearsal. We gave her our agenda timeline and she ensured that every detail was executed without a flaw, from the cake pickup, ceremony, reception, music, marriage license signing and decor setup, we didn't have to worry about any of it. It allowed us to totally focus on each other and getting married. What really impressed me is that she even personally took all my belongs from my getting ready room up to the room we were staying in and still managed to get back out to the reception to get on the dance floor with us to party, she even cleaned up at the end of the night and made sure our décor was returned to us. As a same sex couple, sometimes we don’t always get the best treatment, but not with Shannon, it truly felt like she was a part of our family that day and we will never forget her and all the assistance she provided…We will be forever grateful to her for helping to make our day simply amazing!
But wait…there’s more. Just when we thought she couldn’t possibly have anything else up her sleeve, she surprised us a week later when we realized that she also acted as a second photographer and videographer for us, which was so freaking awesome because we only paid for a photographer with no videos and thought that were not going to catch our vows on video. She sent us a ton of pictures and a couple videos capturing us at the alter…She was such a blessing to us 😊!

Shannon was the best choice we could have made. She was so helpful leading up to the wedding and absolutely amazing for the rehearsal and wedding day. She helped the day go so smoothly and created the space for us to be able to relax and enjoy each moment. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a wedding planner!!

We hired Bliss Events AZ for the “month of” option for a wedding coordinator and worked with Shannon. She was so helpful to us and available to answer questions and provide advice even in advance of the month before the wedding. We were so grateful to be able to turn everything over to her and not have to stress about ANYTHING during the lead up to the wedding. Because of Shannon we were able to fully enjoy and be present for our wedding day. She worked seamlessly with our caterer and equipment supplier, cake baker, florist, photographer, DJ, venue manager, and bar services. She was able to review our contracts to make sure that they were providing the agreed upon services as well. Shannon is AWESOME and we recommend her and Bliss Events AZ 100% and without reservation. She is a joy to work with and coming out of the wedding we also have a new friend in her.

Shannon helped make my Son’s wedding a perfect, stress-free and memorable celebration.
Shannon and her team made sure that cocktail hour was set up quickly and ran very smoothly so all the guests could really enjoy themselves. She made sure everything to the tiniest detail was what we wanted and did a fantastic job communicating and checking in with me. I would absolutely recommend booking her and her team for your event!

Shannon was amazing!! I honestly was very unsure if I wanted a wedding planner to begin with. Shannon was the best decision (other than my husband lol) I made in regards to my entire wedding. She came up with ideas and reminded me of things I never even thought of. She was on hand whenever I needed her. She contacted all my other vendors, which for me was perfect as I live in Canada so can’t go see them easily.
Day off she made everything so easy for me and my stress level was almost non existent!! She was there before I was and left when I did. She made sure my time line was perfect. My dress was the right way for walking down the aisle and all the pictures. Even showed us how to cut the cake (it’s harder than you think!). At the end of the night she made sure all the gifts were taken to our room and we were all good for the night.
She even messaged me after to see how we were doing ( I was staying in AZ for a bit, but my party was leaving ) and send me some pictures she took.
We had an issue with a vendor and she took care of it, AFTER the wedding during our follow up. She was on it!!
My only disappointment…. I didn’t get a picture with my fairy godmother :(
Thanks Shannon for making our day better than could have every imagined!

We hired The Bliss Experience for week-of coordination and help with ordering from event rental companies. Our wedding was absolutely perfect, and that is in no small part thanks to Shannon and Melissa. Collaborating with them was amazing and they really went above and beyond in so many ways.
Our wedding was very much DIY…it wasn’t at a traditional event venue and so we had to set everything up ourselves. The coordination of vendors on the day of was no small undertaking and I didn’t have to worry about it at all. Delivery of tables and chairs, etc. was tough to book and Shannon and Melissa worked overtime to make sure everything got to the venue, even enlisting the help of their family. I really can’t state enough how hard they worked to make everything go smoothly.

I had the pleasure of teaming up with Shannon and Melissa for a lovely wedding at Heritage Square in Phoenix. They were prompt, hard-working, and easy-going - all at the same time! If you are looking for a team of coordinators who will help you create the wedding of your dreams - Bliss Event Planning is an excellent choice!

Thank you so much Shannon. You are amazing, kind, professional, attentive, on point answering back to emails, calls, changes and concerns. You made my brother’s wedding beautiful and more than what I expected! Thank you to all the vendors as well! You guys are incredible! Thank you so much and God bless you all!

Shannon was so accommodating to my every request she made my vision come to life without hesitation.
