Flawless!!

My experience with blissfully simple events was incredible! Crista was on top of everything, and made the last weeks leading up to my wedding more fun and less stressful. She made sure everything was perfect I highly recommend her to anyone and cannot thank her enough for helping us create our dream wedding!

BEST Coordinators EVER!

Our wedding was in April of 2022 and we originally did not want to spend too much money on a coordinator, so I almost passed Blissfully Simple up for a cheaper option. However, when I met with EVERY other coordinator on the phone, it was a five minute conversation of them telling me about their service -- that's it. When I met with Kristina, our coordinator, she and I talked for over half an hour and she asked me so many insightful questions (and made me laugh!) I quickly realized Blissfully Simple was worth the extra money and I would never have it any other way! I genuinely do not have the words to express my gratitude for Kristina and her team but what I can say is that I will ALWAYS refer friends to them! Not only did they help take stress off us on the day of the wedding, I feel as if I've found a friend in Kristina. (:

Perfect Coordinator for the Perfect Day!

Working with Crista was nothing short of a blessing. Initially, we did not intend on hiring a wedding coordinator. One day my wife threw out the idea and it sounded like a great investment. Ultimately, I am so glad that we did hire one and went with Blissfully Simple Events. Crista ensured that we had all of our bases covered, checked in at a perfect cadence, and was with us every step of the way on the day of our wedding. Crista truly has a heart of gold and cares about her clients. Even after our wedding passed, she has checked in on us and kept in touch. She brings a plethora of experience and expertise to couples planning their big day. We were able to lean on her anytime during the process if we had questions or needed support. If you are looking for someone to hire to ensure that your wedding day is everything you hope for it to be, hire Crista and her team. I guarantee you that you will not regret it.

Day of Directing - PERFECT for all weddings!

We did the Day of Directing package as I still wanted to do the majority of the planning myself and it was the BEST investment of our wedding hands down. Crista and her team were wonderful day of especially, and she was also available for any questions I had about vendors/etc in the year leading up. I was living in Indy when planning my wedding as I was finishing up my last year of physical therapy school and Crista was very flexible with both in-person and virtual meetings to solidify details. On the wedding day if there were any issues I had no idea about it because they were handled by the Blissfully Simple team - exactly what you need on your wedding day. 100% recommend! Thank you for making our wedding day perfect

Krista is very helpful!

Krista made me feel calm during a stressful time. Her planning phone calls really made me feel more at peace since I’m not a very organized person. I was so appreciate of that! I didn’t feel panicked on my wedding day which was great.

Crista and her team will make your day!

I got the day of planning package, but you really get so much more. Crista helped me every step of the way to brain storm ideas, help follow up with unresponsive vendors, and it was a life saver having her team to help set up the reception space as it was across town from the ceremony. The planning and event went so smoothly because of Blissfully Simple Events. You will NOT regret using them!

We loved working with Crista and her team. As a photographer, I sometimes have to play the role of "day-of coordinator" which doesn't allow me to do my best work. I always recommend a planner/coordinator if you want a smooth wedding day and the best wedding photos you can possibly have. Blissfully Simple went above and beyond for our couple. The day went smoothly and when it didn't, Crista was there to save the day and the couple didn't have to deal with any drama. Crista is real, trustworthy, kind, and knows how to get things done- which are great qualities to have in a planner. She's one of the best in the biz!
