    The BEST thing we could've done for our wedding.

    Abbey was an absolute dream to work with. Easily the BEST thing we could have done for our wedding was to hire Blissful Events. Abbey has a checklist for every month before the wedding…that was a LIFESAVER for someone with zero wedding planning experience (me) who was stressed I would forget or not think of something important. She is incredibly talented, always available for questions, and creates a 100% unique design for each couple. I gave her a couple inspiration pictures and she totally ran with it. Our wedding was BEAUTIFUL. Even more, Abbey is the sweetest person and truly cares about not only your wedding, but you two as a couple. She knows the best vendors to work with and is clearly a pro. We didn’t have to lift a finger on our wedding day, which I didn’t realize the difference that would make until the big day. If something went wrong, we never knew about it. We had the most perfect day you could imagine. If I could do it all over again I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to work with Abbey and I could not recommend Blissful Events more. I had her biggest package and it was worth every single penny. Thank you so much Abbey for giving us our dream wedding!!

    An amazing, stress free experience

    Abbey was beyond amazing. I can’t thank her enough for her contribution to the wedding and making it so stress free for me, my husband, and bridal party. Abbey made the day so much more fun! Thank you again so much

    Peace of Mind for our wedding!

    One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was hiring Abbi as our wedding planner! We booked her for her full planning services, we are quite indecisive and with all the big ideas we had she helped us to narrow our focus. She was with us every step of the way, was very responsive via email and text, helping to answer any and all questions we had. We met with her multiple times, as well as a few last minute meetings when we had questions or ideas we wanted to discuss in person. She did an amazing job at giving us multiple options as well as price points to keep us on budget. Everything was laid out in amazing detail for us to get a vision of our space and allow you to see where your money is going, which makes it easier to determine if anything needs to be cut for your budget. She is organized and detailed and extremely creative in her ideas, anything we thought up, she made work or had an idea that was even better. Our wedding involved multiple locations, multiple happy hours and some out of the box ideas and she helped everything to flow seamlessly. The day went perfectly, any potential hiccup we never knew about and she did an amazing job at keeping everyone on task and on time. The communication with our vendors alone, was a huge help in the days and months leading up to our wedding. All communication with vendors went through Abbi, and we trusted her completely with that task which took so much stress away from us. Our parents and wedding party as well as vendors who had not worked with her before, were also very impressed and thankful for her help. We absolutely loved our room reveal, one of two times the groom teared up, and were blown away at seeing all of our months of planning come to life. Having a wedding week that was spent celebrating vs stressing over decorations, set up and logistics is something we are so thankful for. It gave us extra time with friends and family who were in town for the wedding. With each wedding budgets can be one of the biggest stressors, however, the cost of her services was well worth the peace of mind for the wedding as well as every day leading up to the big day! She gave us the most perfect day, and brought all of our wedding dreams to life!

    The absolute best at what she does!!

    From our first meeting with Abbey until the big day, she made us feel so comfortable and taken care of! She truly is the best at what she does and has the best team!! Our wedding planning felt like a breeze with all of Abbey's assistance, not to mention the week of - I had nothing to worry about because Abbey was on top of it! We were absolutely in love with the final design and how everything turned out. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Abbey and cannot thank her enough for our perfect day!!

    Blissful Events

    I cannot say enough good things about Abbey! She lives up to her name, as our wedding was such a blissful day and it was all thanks to her. We did a month of package and she took care of everything that final month, which was such a huge weight off our shoulders. We even had two last minute cancellations by vendors and she quickly found us a new one with no problem. She did everything day of too, so my husband and I didn’t have to worry about anything but enjoying our special day. Forever grateful we had her and I would recommend her in a heartbeat to any bride!

    Stunning room decor

    Abbey was amazing to work with in planning what my ceremony/reception room would look like. The final result was more beautiful than anything I could have ever imagined! Abbeys super easy to talk to and work with. I would highly recommend if you want your day to be beyond dreamy and you want to take the stress off of you and your family putting together a room day of!

    Still in absolute awe of our perfect day

    I don't even know where to begin or where to find the words to say how amazing Abbey was. I am still in absolute awe of the work she did to make my wedding absolutely PERFECT. From the first time we met Abbey we clicked instantly. I had so much fun working with her throughout my wedding planning process. She was so excited about my wedding, which made my day feel even more special. Abbey did the design for our wedding and all I can say is WOW. I am still at a loss for words on how beautifully she decorated our venue. The amount of compliments I received from guests is unreal. Everyone was so impressed with the work Abbey did. I cannot recommend Blissful Events enough. If anything went wrong on the day of the wedding, I had no idea (I still don't know if anything went wrong). Abbey handled EVERYTHING so that I could have the most perfect and stress free day. I wish I could give Blissful Events 20 stars!

    Nothing short of amazing!!

    Abbey was absolutely amazing from the first day we met! I showed her my Pinterest board that was half complete of what we thought we wanted and she made our fairytale wedding a reality. From handling all the design and decor, to scheduling all the vendors , and making sure the day was perfect -she was there every step of the way.

    Good Experience with Abbey

    Abbey was a great help when in came to the month of our event! She took care of all the decorations and details and made our reception beautiful. I would definitely recommend her for your month-of or day-of coordination. We heard about a few hick-ups the day of our wedding, but Abbey handled those single-handedly and made sure we were not bothered with any issues on our wedding day. She made the day of our wedding completely stress free!

    Best coordinator ever

    Abbey is literally a master!! Hiring Abbey to help me the month of and day of my wedding was without a doubt the best decision I could have ever made. From the communication with every single vendor to the day-of chaos, she handled everything with ease. She made me feel like the day was going to be perfect and it was - huge thanks to Abbey! She helped with setup, coordinated all the little details of the day, created timelines for vendors and family, and drove me to the ceremony! All this to say that you absolutely need Abbey as part of your wedding day and all the planning leading up to it. She will ensure it’s the most perfect day. I am forever grateful to her and her services. Don’t miss out on your chance to work with her!! While I did not use her design services, I can assure you she has a true vision for bringing your dream to life. Her work is unlike anyone else!

    Best Choice We Made!!

    Hands-down the best decision we made during our wedding planning process was when we decided to work with Abbey! She truly helped us so much throughout the entire planning process and helped alleviate our stress along the way! She helped us design the wedding of our dreams and then made sure it happened exactly as we had pictured! Her vendor recommendations were absolute perfection, and we didn’t have to lift a finger throughout the entire wedding!!! We were so blown away by her- I’m not exaggerating when I say she handled IT ALL. THANK YOU ABBEY!! 10/10 recommend to any engaged couples!! You will be so happy you worked with Abbey!!

    Best Event Team Ever: Jaw-Dropping Dream Wedding Brought to Life!

    The first thing I have to say is WOW!!! We knew Abbey would do a great job in planning our daughter's wedding and she absolutely nailed it - truly turned Sarah + Chance's wedding vision into a dream come true! From our initial meeting, the entire design and planning process, the few weeks leading up to, and ultimately our big day... she was always organized, on top of the major and minor details, and truly made the entire planning process feel seamless! When we walked into the reception space, I was immediately taken back with tears of joy. It was stunning and absolutely PERFECT! She exceeded our expectations in every way possible. She kept us at ease through the entire process of planning and made us feel like she always had everything handled. Every detail was perfectly in place and we never had to worry about a single thing! They had the best group of vendors to work with & she made sure everyone was on the same page to bring their vision to life! Thank you Abbey for making Sarah and Chance's wedding day the best day of their lives and for allowing us all to truly be able to relax and enjoy every single moment of that magical night! Don't miss out on your chance to work with her on your special day. You'll always hold a special place in our hearts, Abbey!

    Abbey is the best!

    When I was planning my wedding, I was trying to do everything on my own to save money. Abbey had been recommended to me by a patient/friend and I had known of her business through old high school friends. I didn't think I could afford a wedding planner, so I never really bothered to look, but what I love about Blissful Events is she has different plans to meet your needs, from full service planning to just some extra planning help! I decided to go with her day of services, and even though she was already booked for another wedding that day, she recruited her best friend to be my day of coordinator, and she was amazing! They both went out of their way to make sure my day was perfect. Would 100% recommend Blissful Events to everyone!

    Outstanding

    Abbey/Blissful Events is by far the best investment we made for the wedding. She handled everything. Anything I thought about she was already handling. She was everywhere she needed to be when she needed to be there. Made the day spectacular, and by the way she is the sweetest person to deal with. No wedding would be as great without her. 5 stars. THE BEST!!!!!

    Thank you Abbey!

    I can’t recommend Abbey enough! She was so easy to work with. I used the Month Of Coordinating Package. For the last month before the wedding she contacted all my vendors to confirm timelines which took a huge tasked off of me. She also provided suggestions, feedback & reviewed everything I already accomplished. She suggested renting napkins, which she was able to get me for a great price and they made a HUGE difference in the tables, adding a pop of color! She made the wedding day stress free knowing that she had every little thing that came up under control & I didn’t have to worry about anything. All I had to do was get ready & enjoy the day! She even handled little things like keeping track of my cell phone & emergency kit while doing all the big things too like last minute set up between the wedding & reception, getting vendors set up in the right place, etc. She provided 2 timelines for the day, one master timeline & one just for the wedding party. These were super helpful to have everyone know what was happening when & I was able to pass them out to everyone a few days before. She also has a great list of vendors she recommends.

    Abbey was very professional, organized and just made our day better with her sweet personality. I highly recommend brides hire her to ensure you day goes smoothly. We can’t thank her enough!

    Our Perfect Day

    When our original wedding planner cancelled 4 months before our wedding, I was STRESSED! I contacted Abbey to see if she was available for our date and explained the situation. She responded within a couple hours and immediately took the stress away! From day one she listened to our ideas, answered any and all questions that we had, recommended other amazing vendors, worked so well with our vendors, AND put up with my forgetful bride brain! :) She brought our dream day to life and it turned out to be even better than what we had envisioned. We are still getting compliments on how beautiful our wedding was and we owe all of the credit to her. Abbey is one of the sweetest girls I know and you will not be disappointed in her work. It was worth every penny!

    Abbey is so amazing!

    Words cannot explain how amazing of a job Abbey did with our wedding on July 27, 2019. She is absolutely incredible. She put together the wedding of our DREAMS and literally nailed every single little detail we asked for. Not only did she do all of this, but she did it with such grace! Abbey has such a calming presence and "can-do" attitude and it is so refreshing and definitely two attributes of a phenomenal wedding designer and planner! Not only was working with her up until the big day an awesome experience, but the way she handled everything on the actual day of could not have been better! We had ZERO and i mean ZERO issues on the day of because of how well she organized and planned!! I would recommend Abbey DePauw to absolutely anyone, trust me you will be BEYOND delighted with the experience of working with her!

    Blissful Experience with Blissful Events

    Abbey was terrific from start to finish. She is easy to work with, super creative, and unflappable. She helped us with a timeline starting many months out and gave us more and more guidance as the big day approached. The day of the wedding, I didn't worry about a single thing. The venue was Old Brick Iowa City and everything had to be brought in. Coordinating that was complicated and Abbey really made the difference. Her design was beautiful and the flowers were amazing. Everything went so smoothly and I had many compliments from the vendors and guests. Best of all, my daughter said her wedding was everything she had dreamed of and more. Thank you Abbey!

    Abbey is amazing! From answering my countless questions up until the day to making sure everything was setup smoothly the day of without me having to get involved as I was getting ready, she was always prepared and professional. I don’t know what I would have done without her!
