    A real find!

    I originally hired Martha to help with my daughter's big, pre-covid wedding. When it got cancelled due to covid, she worked with me on a smaller, DIY backyard event in August. She was wonderful - lots of helpful advice, willing to do whatever was needed, and really supportive as we figured out how to navigate a covid wedding event. Day of she was fabulous - kept an eye on everything and caught all those gaps in the flow of events before anyone noticed. it was a complete success, and Martha was a big part of it. I cant recommend her highly enough!

    Thank you Lora! I was thrilled to be a part of your family's beautiful wedding. Covid kept throwing you curves, but you handled it with grace and creativity. The day was a splendid memorable wedding for everyone!

    Wonderful Experience with Martha!

    Working with Martha was easy and fun! Upon our first meeting, we could tell that it was important to her to understand the vibe we envisioned for our wedding day and how best she could help us execute our plans. She is transparent with pricing (which is very fair) from day one and there were no surprises along the way.

    Martha’s knowledge of this industry and experience in an environment that was foreign to us allowed us to put complete trust in her. She helped introduce herself to our vendors, coordinated any loose ends and got everyone on the same page. I felt extremely supported and a weight lifted when she even helped handle any emails from our vendors during the week leading up to the wedding. It was much easier for me to consult with just 1 person (Martha) versus a dozen at that point. She also assisted with the intricacies of our timeline, attended our rehearsal and suggested solutions to ensure everything ran the way we preferred (and that we hadn’t forgotten anything)! When the morning of our wedding arrived, her calm nature and clear plans allowed me to enjoy my bridal party and get ready with ease while she so beautifully arranged our reception area. Throughout the ceremony and reception, she handled things myself or our loved ones otherwise would have been pulled away to do.

    Martha’s assistance was invaluable to us, seeing as our venue did not have a day of coordinator and we lived out of state to our wedding venue. We couldn’t have asked for a more kind person to be there for us in a huge moment in our lives! She truly assisted us in ways we didn’t realize we would need to help our day run flawlessly. I am so thankful for her and wish I could work with her again! Wedding planning does not necessarily come easy to all and the mental load can be overwhelming. I highly encourage others to do themselves a favor and work with Martha as well!

    Dear Stephanie,
    Thank you for all your kind words, I am so happy I was able to make your day as special as you are!

    Absolute Delight

    Bliss Coordinating is the bees knees. Martha was such a delight to work with and really kept me on track with planning. On the day of my wedding I had absolutely no concerns with Martha in charge. Our day ran smooth thanks to Bliss Coordinating helping us coordinate our vendors the week of, helping with our rehearsal, and decorating my whole reception . I really wish I had more events I could hire Martha for.

    Bliss Coordinating's reply:

    Thanks Samantha, I love being bees knees! It was so wonderful to work with you, I wish we had more events too!

    With an ever changing world, Martha was an amazing constant!

    Working with Martha was the best and easiest decision we made in our wedding planning! I had attended a wedding where Martha had been coordinating, and everything seemed to flow wonderfully! We met with Martha early on in our planning, so she could get a feel in what we were envisioning. Through meetups, emails, google docs-we were really able to stay connected with Martha. As our wedding year began, and public health changes were happening in our world- Martha really stayed connected and communicated with us through every step. With the guidelines changing every single week, we were on standby with plans and backup plans. As it soon became clear that the large wedding that Martha was helping us coordinate would not be happening, Martha met with us to plan the next steps for our new “mini wedding.” We ended up getting married outside at my husband’s family home growing up. Martha came to visit the new venue, to make sure she had a true vision of how it could all come together. Because our wedding was soon after the stay at home order, and things were slowly starting to open back up, our goal was to make people feel safe and comfortable. She helped me figure out seating arrangements, wedding favors, plans for keeping socially distanced. On the wedding day itself, she remained the point person for all our vendors and handled the payments and setting up of everything. When I arrived to the venue, Martha was hard at work decorating and setting up exactly what I had envisioned. My husband and I still laugh, because he said even though him and his groomsmen were getting ready at the house where everything was happening, his one job was stay downstairs, drink mimosas, and hang out with his guys. Again, Martha is the best wedding decision we made and she truly made all the changes happening around us manageable and enjoyable. Looking back on our day and looking back at the original day I had planned in my head, I think the new wedding that we had at the end of May was even better! Many thanks go out to Martha and all her hard work!!!

    Bliss Coordinating's reply:

    Thank you for all your kind words Lindsay! Your wedding was a joy to coordinate. It was a day that really reflected you both, and your resilience through everything was remarkable. I know you both will be able handle whatever comes your way in the future!

    Couldn't have done it without her!

    I am so thankful we found Martha to help coordinate my wedding. She did so much more than just day of help and preparation. She sent me pre-wedding day checklists to make sure I had all of the not so obvious details covered and spent a lot of time with me on the timeline to make sure everything ran smoothly and just how I wanted it. She had the best attitude and no task was too big or too small for her to help with. She took initiative and was very responsive for the months leading up to the big day. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone planning their wedding.

    Bliss Coordinating's reply:

    Thank you Aubrey! It was so much fun to be part of your New Year's Eve wedding! It was a pleasure to work with you and your family to make your magical wedding dreams come true. Fondly, Martha

    Martha made the day!

    Martha was fantastic throughout the entire process. She was cordial and responsive and was a huge help navigating the last few months of planning. The day of the wedding she was constantly on the move making sure the decorations were placed, vendors knew where to go, and that all the dominoes were in place before guests arrived. Once guests arrived she was extremely professional guiding crowds and managing the gift table. Every time we saw her she was busy helping guests or working with other vendors. Her hard work and dedication helped make the day a big logistical success and took a lot of stress off of the bride, groom, and their families. Thanks SO much Martha!

    Bliss Coordinating's reply:

    Thanks Phil! It was such a pleasure to work with you, you and Em created a day that was so much fun, and so true to who you both are, it was a blast to be a part of!

    The Best Day-Of Coordinator!

    Martha is so sweet and she was such a dream to work with. She provided the calm support I needed when I was going crazy with planning. She was incredibly flexible and available to meet and talk through plans leading up to the big day. She took the time to learn the overall vision along with all the details that would make our day special. She offered lots of great advice along the way and reminded us of details we hadn't thought of. On our wedding day, she made sure everything went smoothly and my husband and I never had to worry about keeping the schedule moving. Her pricing is extremely reasonable and her service is amazing! I am so glad we went with Martha and would highly recommend her!

    Bliss Coordinating's reply:

    Thank you Leah! Your creativity and joie de vivre were so fun to work with. I loved every minute of it!

    The perfect day-of coordinator!

    Working with Martha was without a doubt the best decision we made during the wedding planning process. If you are looking for a day-of wedding coordinator in the Madison area, she’s it!

    We planned our Madison wedding while living out of state, and Martha helped us make sure that every detail was attended to leading up to the wedding. When we arrived in Wisconsin, there was nothing left to do but enjoy time with family and friends. Martha arranged her schedule to meet us in person for coffee while I was home for a summer visit leading up to the wedding. She instantly put us at ease, asking thoughtful questions about our venue, special family members, and logistics of the ceremony. I thought I was fairly organized leading up to that point, but after our meeting I realized the benefits of working with a professional coordinator like Martha!

    Planning from afar was easy with her as she utilized Google docs for sharing purposes and emailed just to check in. It was evident throughout the entire process that Martha’s kind hearted personality would make for a wonderful wedding day experience. She contacted all of our vendors in the weeks leading up to the wedding and attended our rehearsal the night before the wedding. Our family and friends loved Martha as much as we did! She used her creative and organized talents to put together a beautiful space at our venue, and took care of small details -- from thank you cards for our vendors, to making sure our cards were delivered to our hotel room after dinner.

    With Martha’s help, our wedding was a day we’ll never forget. We cannot recommend her enough! My only regret is not hiring Martha sooner!

    Bliss Coordinating's reply:

    Amber, thank you so much for your blush-worthy words! It was a pleasure working with you and your family. You are all such kind, warm people, I was so happy to help implement your wedding day plans and dreams, and see that your day went smoothly. Truly a day to remember and cherish!

    Amazing Day of Coordinator!

    Martha did such an amazing job as the day of coordinator for our wedding. We had the wedding at my parents house and needed someone to be on point for working with our vendors when they arrived, queuing the wedding ceremony, doing decor set-up between the ceremony and reception. She offered great insight during the planning process and during our onsite meeting the week prior to the wedding. She did exceeded all expectations beyond my tasks I requested she assist with, from contacting all our vendors prior to the event and adding fresh flowers to cover up part of the frosting that got damaged in the fridge. I had no stress the day of and it is due to her hard work and expertise. I can not recommend Martha more highly!

    Bliss Coordinating's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words Amanda! Your wedding was so beautiful, and a pleasure to coordinate!
    All the best,
    Martha

    Amazing experience with Martha!

    Martha was the perfect day of coordinator! She went above and beyond anything we expected and was so helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process. She met with us numerous times before the wedding to make sure that our questions were answered and to provide her expertise on various wedding logistics. Whenever things became stressful, Martha’s organization and professionalism helped keep us on track (and excited!) for the wedding.

    On the actual day of the wedding, Martha was a rock star. She was willing to step in wherever we needed her. She helped create some of my floral arrangements, coordinated all the different vendors, kept track of the schedule, and even helped decorate the wedding trellis. We also heard from many of our family members and guests how much they enjoyed their interactions with Martha.

    Overall, we cannot recommend Martha highly enough. She is a wonderful person, and any bride and groom would be lucky to have her!

    Bliss Coordinating's reply:

    Wow, thank you Tessa! I am so happy I had the opportunity to work with you and get to know you both, your wedding was such a great day to coordinate, it was fun and exciting to see all the plans unfold, thank you for hiring me!

    Highly Recommend!

    We highly recommend Martha to anyone who is thinking about a "day of coordinator." She went above and beyond our expectations- she is honest, reliable and has a great sense of humor. Our ceremony and reception were in two different cities and Martha made sure everything ran smoothly. We had a meeting a few months before the wedding, another one month before, and Martha even came to the rehearsal in order to make sure she had the details organized. At our ceremony, she really kept everything rolling at the right pace and in the correct order. Afterwards, she gathered and collected all the flowers and took them to the reception. Martha has a great eye and is very talented-she made our wedding day vision come true. She also made sure everything flowed as planned at the reception. We can't thank Martha enough and are so glad we hired her! She is so worth the money, and then some.

    Great day-of coordinating!

    I never thought I’d hire a wedding planner, it’s an investment and the planning up until the big day was stressful but doable. Having our church and reception venue 30 minutes apart with limited set up time beforehand, that’s what triggered the need for a day of coordinator. I saw great reviews with Bliss Coordinating and the ability to pay an hourly rate was just what we needed. We were able to customize what we needed done the day of so it didn’t fall on us or family to figure out. She was open to do whatever we felt was needed and provided suggestions based on previous weddings she’s worked. From the first time we met to our wedding day, Martha was always available, organized and contacted our vendors to make sure they were too. She worked behind the scenes to make our wedding day as special as it should be. We’re so glad we booked Bliss Coordinating and had Martha to fall back on!

    Thank you Amanda! It was wonderful to work with you and Dalton, and fun to try a few new coordinating tasks I can offer to couples!

    Martha is Amazing!!

    Martha was truly amazing and we would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone needing coordinating services! We hired Martha to be our day-of-coordinator for our wedding. We live out of state, so her help was truly invaluable. She was amazing the entire journey from our first initial meeting at a coffee shop about a year before the wedding, to the day of our wedding. She was always very organized and asked many questions about things I hadn't thought of before (and I consider myself an on-top-of-it kind of person and very organized myself). She did so many behind the scenes things that I didn't even know she was doing -- for example, in the weeks leading up to the wedding, I know she had told me she was going to call all the vendors to confirm details, but she did it all so quietly that I wouldn't have known she was indeed doing it unless my uncle (our officiant) hadn't told me Martha had called him. The fact she was taking care of all the nitty gritty details and loose ends in the weeks before the wedding and making sure everything was good to go for our big day was a relief in itself - I was so busy with other things! Martha also came to our ceremony rehearsal, and if you can fit it into your budget to have her there for that, DO IT. She was SO HELPFUL I cannot tell you enough how thankful we were to have her there for that. Who knew a rehearsal could be so hard to coordinate and get people to listen ha! Then on the wedding day, Martha was excellent!! She greeted all the vendors for me, handed out tips, made sure everything ran on time, and put out all of my decorations and made sure it all looked good (among other things). She handled everything beautifully. I honestly don't know what we would have done without her. I knew she had everything so I didn't worry about logistics at all. Also of note, Martha is so budget friendly. When I was first researching, I looked into other wedding coordinators and they were easily 1.5-2x her price. Martha, thank you SO much for all you did for us, we truly cannot thank you enough.

    Thank you for all your kind words Natalie! It was such a pleasure working with you, and so fun to see all of your plans become reality for your beautiful wedding.

    Martha was such a sweetheart and so helpful! We had a vision and needed help with everything going smoothly and she made sure it did! We would meet up for coffee to go over my ideas and she helped me with things I didn't think about. She kept in contact with vendors on her own too so I wouldn't have to worry about anything. Thank you again Martha!

    Where to even start? Martha was so helpful I cant even express my thanks enough! She made sure our wedding turned into the dream we hoped it would be and made sure everything came together beautifully. She was so responsive to my many questions and even met with me a few times before the wedding to go over things. Her price does not compare to anyone else and she is worth way more than she charges! I am so glad I hired Martha and would do it again in a heartbeat!

    Martha was great! Even though we were an out of town bride and groom, Martha took the time to meet with us, go to appointments with us, and get to know us and the style of wedding we were going for. Her flexibility in meeting with us on whirlwind weekends when we were in town was exceedingly valuable.

    In the days leading up to the wedding, one doesn't realize how little time you will have for last minute things, especially when you are from out of town. Martha took care of many of the things I couldn’t get to in the last few days, and looking back this is what i found to be most helpful. She kept us on task dealing with the numerous things we needed to do the days before the wedding. She made us gather round to confer on some final issues, and thought of many details I wouldn’t have thought of.

    Lastly, Martha made the reception hall look just beautiful with the finishing touches on the day of the event, and put the final pieces into place when I lacked the time to be there. She had taken the time to get to know me so that she knew what I would like. Plus she knew how to make things look gorgeous! She helped this disorganized bride get organized enough to pull off a wedding. We highly recommend Martha and greatly value all she did for us.

    Change of Plans

    Met with Martha to plan out her services for my wedding. Felt like a good fit! Unfortunately a few days after we met she was no longer available to help us. Big heads up for planners- Most wedding vendors will hold your dates while the details are sorted, Bliss does not.

    Bliss Coordinating's reply:

    Thank you for your input Corrisa, I had an unexpected family event come up, I do try to hold a date for 1-2 weeks for couples to decide if they are interested in my Coordinating services. Martha
