Hiring Jolene as our Day-of-Coordinator was and is the best decision we've ever made for our…read morewedding. My husband and I couldn't agree more on this. And I am very certain that in years to come when we relive our wedding day, we will still agree that hiring Jolene was the best decision we've made. My husband and I had particular and grand visions on how we wanted our wedding reception to be like. We had specific ideas on the overall look we wanted to achieve for the wedding reception. We were so into planning and outlining all the details of the wedding and that included getting taffeta pintuck table overlays, charger plates, framed table names, etc, that we didn't think much of who was going to execute all our grand ideas for us on the day itself. The restaurant manager had to run the restaurant and and supervise the kitchen on the day itself, and he wasn't able to see to all our specific details on the decor. We were very fortunate to have good friends who offered to help us set up, but at the same time we wanted all of them to enjoy themselves fully and not to have to work on our wedding day. That was when we realized the best thing to do was to hire a Day-of-Coordinator. In came Jolene who was ever so responsive to my emails. We would go back and forth via email up to five times a day, even on a Sunday. That was when I knew that Jolene was the one we should hire. If she could respond to my emails multiple times on a Sunday, I knew that she would be reliably there for us throughout the days leading up to our wedding, and most importantly, on our wedding day itself. We had a meeting with our reception restaurant manager, Jolene, and my husband and I. Jolene brought up questions that we didn't think about and made sure we covered everything. Jolene also took notes at our meeting and very next early morning she sent me a followup email listing the still-to-be completed tasks that my husband and I had to work on leading up to the wedding day. On the wedding day, my husband and I had peace of mind and we were able to enjoy and absorb every moment of our hard work in planning the wedding. We told Jolene how we envisioned specific details to be like on our wedding, and she carried them out for us perfectly. Not only was she there to execute our day-of vision, but she also acted as a point of reference for our bridal party and guests. My dad wanted a podium for his speech and upon arrival he saw that there was no podium. I asked Jolene if she could put one out for us. And the next time I turned around, she was there setting up the podium. Jolene also made sure that there was a smooth transition between events at the reception. After the reception, we received many compliments from our guests on how well organized everything was and my husband and I have Jolene to thank for this. Do yourself a favor and get Jolene as your Day-of-Coordinator. If you're getting married and have put so much hard work into wedding planning like my husband and I did, you should reward yourself by leaving the day-of execution to a true professional like Jolene. She has been there for us from the time we initiated contact and throughout the days leading up to the wedding and most importantly on the wedding day itself. I appreciate all her kind words to us throughout and alleviating our worries of anything that is wedding-related. Thank you so much Jolene!

My wife and I hired Jolene to be our Day-of-Coordinator for our wedding on Nov. 14, 2009. Our…read morewedding was located in an art center, which was basically an empty warehouse space, and required the services of several separate vendors (Catering, Lights, Flowers, Rentals, etc...) to transform it into the wedding-space that my wife and I envisioned. Jolene's help through the entire planning process was simply invaluable -- from design ideas and scheduling event flow, to the minutia that my wife and I didn't even think of. On our wedding day, Jolene showed up early at the venue and made sure that all the "moving parts" where in sync and on time. Throughout the wedding day itself, she kept us on schedule with our timeline and led the day to a resounding success. In hindsight, my wife and I concluded that we could not have pulled off our "from scratch" wedding without her planning assistance, design ideas, and coordinated-execution on our wedding day. We highly recommend Jolene for event planning, design, and day-of coordination.

I'm composing this review after several years of marriage because I wanted to ensure that my…read moreassessment is not influenced by the intense emotions associated with wedding planning. I engaged Lilli's services because she claimed to have experience with my chosen venue in Aspen. However, when I inquired about my entrance, she couldn't provide a clear answer. On the actual wedding day, she seemed unsure of how I should make my entrance down the aisle. She later mentioned that she had given me options for the entrance just moments before I was due to walk down. Why should such a critical decision be left until the most nerve-wracking moment? Lastly, we had a flower girl and her mother who arrived late to the rehearsal, meaning we couldn't practice their roles. Lilli failed to communicate the necessary instructions to them after they entered, leading to the flower girl becoming upset and wandering aimlessly during the ceremony. When we confronted these issues to her next day, she said "if this is going to ruin your wedding, your marriage is not going to last" If you want to hear this after your wedding day, please hire her

Lilli Black is amazing…read more Me and my fiance have been planning our wedding recently, and we have been stressed to no end as our initial location fell through. We reached out to Lilli Black on a whim, not expecting a reply, as we are working with a very small budget. How wrong we were! Lilli didn't just reply, she replied at 9:00pm at night 10 minutes after my initial query. She even conversed with me for over an hour, providing me insights, general advice and really calming my nerves! The next day we were in her office! She gave us the full run down on a typical budget, potential place we can host it at, and completely different styles of wedding. We haven't even engaged her yet, and she was professional to the T, providing us insight in the spirit of good will. She has hosted 1000+ weddings and the experience showed in her candor, knowledge base and demeanor. At the end of the day, we didn't manage to book Lilli only because our first choice became available. We had imagined a beautiful outdoor wedding with a rustic reception that Lilli mentioned was definitely doable, even with our tiny budget. But if you want someone you can depend on, and someone that will be there for you when the wedding nerves start bulding, there's no one better than Lilli Black.

Natalie was our day of coordinator and she and Madison (assistant coordinator) did an amazing job…read more From our first meeting I felt so taken care of. It can be extremely overwhelming organizing everything as a bride and things can feel so "high stakes." Natalie eased our worries and after some communication via excel worksheets and calendars, everything was ready for the big day. Natalie was flexible, fun, relaxed, and overall the perfect addition to our wedding party! She got along well with everyone and even made sure my grandparents got down the aisle! What an angel. I was originally hesitant to hire a coordinator because I'm a bit of a perfectionist, but after it was all said and done I wouldn't have it any other way. She made the big day so easy for me and my husband. If you're on the fence about getting a day of coordinator, get Natalie!

We are so incredibly grateful that we chose A Touch of Bliss for our wedding coordination needs…read more From the very beginning, their team was communicative, helpful, organized, and informative. They provide so many valuable resources and planning tools that helped guide us throughout our wedding planning journey and made what can be an overwhelming process feel much more manageable. At one point during planning, I became extremely overwhelmed and started looking into upgrading to full-service planning. When I reached out, I spent over an hour on the phone with one of their associates discussing my concerns and what I still had left to do. By the end of the conversation, she honestly told me that while they would be happy to upgrade our package, it really wasn't necessary given all the work I had already completed. Instead, she offered practical advice and guidance on some of the areas I was struggling with, especially décor planning. That level of honesty and genuine care meant so much to me. It was clear that A Touch of Bliss was looking out for our best interests, not just trying to make another sale. Three months before our wedding, we were paired with our day-of coordinator, Alison, and she quickly became the MVP of our entire wedding experience. Our first meeting lasted nearly two hours, and she thoughtfully walked us through countless decisions, offering valuable insights and perspectives along the way. She took the time to truly understand our vision, priorities, and values, ensuring every detail reflected what was most important to us. From there, Alison took over vendor coordination, which was an enormous relief. Knowing she was handling communication and logistics allowed us to focus on enjoying the final months before the wedding. We also had a very large bridal party, and Alison created a detailed, beautifully organized itinerary so everyone knew exactly where they needed to be and when. Her organization and attention to detail were incredible. On the wedding day itself, Alison was an absolute ninja behind the scenes. Everything ran smoothly, and we never had to worry about the countless moving parts because she had everything under control. One moment that especially stood out was how thoughtfully she cared for one of our guests who was a nursing mother. Alison made sure she had access to a private room when needed and consistently checked in to ensure she had food, drinks, and anything else she might need. It was such a small but meaningful gesture that perfectly reflects Alison's character and commitment to taking care of everyone around her. We cannot thank Alison and the entire A Touch of Bliss team enough for helping make our wedding day so special. Their professionalism, kindness, honesty, and attention to detail exceeded every expectation we had. 10/10 would recommend A Touch of Bliss, and especially Alison, to any couple planning their wedding!

I attended a college friend's wedding in Denver and it was absolutely perfect down to every last detail. Good Ol'Fashioned Party created a stunning wedding reception for a gorgeous June backyard wedding. The decor was crafted to be meaningful for the families and their guests. But more importantly, they understood the couple and who they were was reflected throughout the event. They even used the front yard space and driveway to make a beautiful sit down area with low benches and pillows with lace wrapping around the yard to make for an intimate and private event. The way they transformed the space was magical and I'll never forget this wedding. I only wish I lived in Denver to be able to rent their vintage furniture and decor for my own wedding someday :) Thanks for creating such a special day!

If you are looking for a FANTASTIC wedding planner, Elise of Revel & Bloom is your gal! She was…read moreamazing to work with and handled everything down to the last detail of our daughter's recent wedding in Aspen, CO. (May 29, 2021). Elise was both professional and personal. Our daughter and her fiance' are from Texas and my husband and I live in Arkansas, but were planning a wedding in Colorado. We knew nothing about venues, vendors, etc. She was up front and honest about costs and really did a great job at landing exactly where she had indicated we would. No big surprises. In our opinion she is the best of the best and truly made our experience a magnificent one from beginning to end! The best of the best!!!

We had an awful experience with Elise. We decided to hire Revel + Bloom because they were referred…read moreto us by a mutual friend, but quickly discovered that Elise capitalizes on designs from other event planners and rarely offers original ideas. Her most quoted line is "this is what I've done in the past, so it should work for you". When we challenged her to personalize our wedding to our tastes, she quoted us an increased price, which we agreed to, and we still only received a "mood board" with images that we had previously sent to Elise. As the wedding got closer, her support dwindled and we heard from Elise less and less, leading up to Elise walking away from our wedding the week before it took place (with all of our money). Our team of wedding vendors were shocked at how poorly we had been treated and asked us to let others know. If you want a rinse and repeat wedding, you could consider hiring Elise, but I would highly encourage you to look elsewhere and hire a planner that genuinely cares about creating a memorable experience based on what you dream of, instead of recycling what Elise has taken credit for in the past.
