A 10-hour all day wedding/reception with 2 venues and five different spaces, 4 different music vendors, a year and half of planning and 20 times the intricate details of a normal wedding, plus hours of morphing into a wedding therapist… this is what Samar of Blissful Events pulled off flawlessly for our big day. Samar was my first call when I began searching for a wedding planner, and after interviewing dozens of wedding planners, she was also my last. She not only hears you but listens, really listens - she has an ear and an eye for your perfect vision, and also when you just need to vent. Her warmness makes you feel comfortable the moment you meet her.

Known as a type A corporate executive with eight arms that gets things done “yesterday”, it’s challenging for me to delegate. Samar had no problem keeping up with the fast pace and made sure she was always 10 steps ahead. More importantly, she gained my trust, reassured and slowed me down when I needed it the most, and was feeling completely overwhelmed, and took the ball and ran with it. This was my first wedding, and I wanted everything perfect. Samar didn’t miss a beat. It didn’t take long for her expertise to become evident.

I am also known to be extremely selective and maintain high expectations of my business partners and vendors. I conveyed my high standards to Samar right away and she didn’t flinch. Confidence, professionalism, event/wedding planning knowledge and savviness, beautiful transformations, thinking outside the box, calm under pressure, efficient team, results oriented and solution based are all attributes at Samar’s core.

When you start to plan your film of another life chapter with a wedding and your forever partner, you want Samar Hattar at the opening, throughout every scene and in the closing credits, and you’ll end up with the perfect fairytale ending.

Samar was absolutely amazing in helping me plan my proprosal. She was quick to find vendors, solutions to bumps along the way and kept it stress free the entire time!

Samar is truly an extraordinary wedding & event planner and an even more extraordinary person. Her ability to connect people and bring ideas to life is unparalleled. She’s a fantastic communicator—always responsive, incredibly helpful, and proactive in ensuring every detail is perfect.

What truly sets Samar apart is her infectious joy and positivity; she lights up any room she enters and makes everyone feel at ease. Beyond her exceptional planning skills, Samar has a big heart and a genuine passion for helping people and making the world a better place. Working with her isn’t just a professional experience—it’s an absolute joy. I can’t recommend her enough!

Samar was phenomenal! I know from our initial intake call that I could trust her to make my surprise destination engagement in Sonoma CA a magical moment. She was very detailed oriented, had a great working relationship with local vendors, and was outstanding as we secured each vendor leading up to the event. Also living in TX, she continuously followed up to ensure all the details were exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend her for your wedding or engagement planning in the Sonoma and Napa wine country area.

Samar was so thoughtful and attentive to our needs and went above and beyond in delivering such a successful and memorable event. Just to name a few very special touches: she brought a smile to our faces with having our fans on the guest seats for the ceremony :) Asking the bride whether to hold off the start to wait for delayed guests was so thoughtful. Getting those unruly ;) boys to be ready to catch the "garter football" was impressive - comes from having 4 kids I would guess! ;)

I realized she was "everywhere" and in every part of the day, yet unseen in a remarkable way that I would imagine can only come with being the professional that she is. . .and 300 weddings! Samar was wonderful to reassure us at rehearsal, and multiple times before, that all the details would be handled and that all elements of the bride and groom's vision would be fulfilled. And it was!

Bride and groom, mom and dad, we were absolutely so thrilled and very very happy with the beautiful day that our "baby girl's" wedding turned out to be -all thanks to Samar!

We can't thank you enough for your presence, your patience, and your provision of expertise. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Samar.

Where do I even begin? In planning our wedding, and even having never had a wedding planner before, I am positive there is NO BETTER TEAM OUT THERE than Samar and Blissful Events.

We interviewed several planners for our wedding in Northern California and were met with much disappointment - others were unprepared, taking a quick intake call after a workout or while driving in the car. However, when we met with Samar for our initial intake, she was the CONSUMMATE PROFESSIONAL. It was very clear she wanted to make sure our wedding day was about US having fun as a key priority - she walked us through prior events she had done and had clearly thought about ideas to pitch to us, showing she had done her homework and cared about us as a couple.

After agreeing to work together, the planning process was a breeze. She was a great communicator, and although she had to nudge us a few times to make decisions during the process, she did it, again, very professionally and kindly, which speaks to her character as a TRULY CARING, HIGHLY MOTIVATED AND HIGH PERFORMING PERSON. I couldn't believe how fun planning was after hearing horror stories from others during their planning process - and this ease was completely due to Samar.

Her taste level is also above and beyond, redefining what a luxury wedding means. Although we didn't have a limitless budget, Samar was very respectful of our wishes and constantly worked with us to create a breathtaking eventscape that blew all of our guests away.

On the wedding day, although we were stressed, Samar kept a cool head and easily escorted us to the ceremony, to photos, and to dinner and dancing. She added a PERSONAL TOUCH, not settling for a typical "herding the masses" experience for our guests, and personally invited them from space to space. Whatever unavoidable hiccups came about she handled with ease. Again, she made the event completely about us, and we had the most incredible day of our lives because of Samar.

This is not to leave out the countless little things in between - encouraging messages just because, thoughtful gifts, and fun ideas about how we could make sure the planning process was a time for us to reflect about our journey as a couple. This is the personal touch that MAKES BLISSFUL EVENTS AN ABOVE-AND-BEYOND WEDDING PLANNING COMPANY.

To summarize: If I could give a Michelin star to a planner, Samar and Blissful events would win my full 3/3 star rating. And a 10/10, 5/5, whatever the exceptional category is. BOOK WITH THEM, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. Thank you to Samar and her team for making our day unforgettable!

When you hear Samar is your part of your vendor team as the wedding planner, you know the wedding process is not only going to be flawless, but the wedding will be absolutely gorgeous too! I have had the pleasure of working with her on several weddings and I am constantly impressed with her organization, professionalism, keen eye for detail and impeccable taste. I welcome any chance to work with Samar and the Blissful Events team.
