[Warning: this is a long review and it will be very well worth the read. Especially if you’re about to make one of the most critical decisions to choose who will get to handle the most important and special day in your life: Your Wedding Day]

As a particularly fastidious, OCD, and detail-oriented person. I’m the type of person who (if I had the spare time) would iron my pillowcases and arrange my closet into the colors of the rainbow. And… I had no idea the level of detail it takes to effectively plan and smoothly execute a wedding.

If I did not have Kirsten Haspe with Bliss in Bloom on our side, our wedding could have rapidly and easily turned into a sh*tshow. In fact, she was so on-top-of her game and so diligent, she and her team were actually having to constantly remind US to get things done, so everything would turn out as we wanted. She didn’t skip a beat! She FAR EXCEEDED any expectations we could possibly think of or even try to make up.

And when I say “on top of her game,” I mean— she was vehemently quick to respond (whether it was text or email), quick to take action, and is extremely organized knowing every bit of everything that needed to be handled. There was never a moment that she didn’t know what was going on. Not one iota of detail was overlooked, not one moment ever missed. Her detail-orientedness is sharper than a hawk’s eye, and her level of organization makes Marie Kondo’s appear like that of a toddler.

My husband and I travel multiple times a month basically living out of our suitcases for work, so we were pretty out of pocket and unable to handle a lot of things that needed to be handled. And planning a wedding on a completely different island didn’t help make things easier either.

Thankfully, Kirsten knew the Big Island well, is highly connected with vendors there, and was incredibly resourceful. She provided excellent vendor recommendations from catering, cake, music, decor, lighting, linens, and activities (for our guests for when they arrived to Hawaii).

She was one of the major reasons why not only did I thoroughly enjoy the wedding planning process, but our guests and family all had an amazing time on our wedding day. We got married about 2 months ago and our guests are STILL TILL THIS DAY raving about how beautiful, smoothly ran, fun, breathtaking and memorable our wedding day was and wish they were back at our wedding!

As a bride, you typically want everything to be right: your hair, makeup, the dress, the entire day; and you pray everything goes well according to plan. As a human, you know there needs to be a level of acceptance that once it’s the morning of the wedding day, what goes-goes. What is gonna happen, is gonna happen.

I will proudly share with you, there was NEVER a moment of doubt, fear, anxiety, concern of how everything was going to turn out because of Kirsten and how she and her team showed up for us from Day 1 (starting from our initial intro call) until well after our wedding.


I loved Kirsten’s taste (and I am pretty picky) and truly valued her opinion on nearly everything. We leaned on her a ton for a lot what needed to be handled.

Because of Kirsten and her team at Bliss in Bloom, what I thought was impossible actually came true— My wedding became Pinterest worthy! Though that never was my intention or goal, she helped make our wedding turn into something that magically came out of a fantasy.

And I so appreciate the care, dedication, and diligent hard work that Kirsten poured in to help make that happen.

 I will forever refer her to anyone who I know is looking for a reliable, trustworthy, proactive, organized, professional, and caring wedding planner.

We had the best experience working with Bliss In Bloom from Day 1! Our head coordinator was Kirsten who instantly put us at ease because she is so clearly great at her job. Our wedding guests constantly commented on how relaxed we were the week leading up to and day of our wedding, and honestly it was all because of Kirsten and her team.

In the lead up, Kirsten advised us on all the vendors we would need and who on the Big Island they recommended. She knows everyone! It made it so easy for us that she had a strong shorthand with all the vendors we chose.

She also worked very closely with us on the florals, and handled all the communication with the florist which again made it so EASY! I also at times felt at a loss of what direction we should go with the flowers and Kirsten was a great resource with that, never told me what to do but helped me visualize what it would all look like together... she even found example imagery of what I was having a hard time articulating to her, making it clear that she understood me and what I was looking for.

Once we got into the month lead up, Kirsten took over all the communication with our vendors and we honestly didn't have to talk to anyone else but Kirsten from that point on and even through the wedding day.

Our wedding was honestly more than we could have ever expected! It was so special to us, everything went off perfectly and we really owe all of that to Kirsten. It was so important to us to be present and enjoy the event as our guests did... and that is exactly what we did! We cannot thank Kirsten and the Bliss In Bloom team enough!!!

Kirsten Haspe at Bliss in Bloom was the best wedding planner I could have asked for. We organized a destination wedding to Hawaii with 135 guests at the Fairmont Orchid, afterwards many guests let us know how smooth and well organized the event was. Some standouts for me: Kirsten’s ability to problem solve, her autonomy, her attention to detail, her communication style, and her relationships with vendors. Nearly every vendor we met with, told us we’re in good hands with Kirsten - she’s the best! They said. And I completely agree. As a nervous and anxious bride, she made me feel confident that the wedding would go as plan. And the event turned out beyond what we could have hoped for. Thank you Kirsten.
