Cynthia and the ladies at Bliss Is Events made it possible for me to bring to life the wedding of…read moremy dreams. That's no small measure. We started having conversations about our wedding a year and a half before the actual day. Cynthia was just as excited as I was about the small details and I knew then that I found the right person for the job. Through the months leading to the big day, she kept me on my toes to make sure that I had everything crossed off the to-do list. It helped to be accountable to another person to make doubly sure that everything goes off without a hitch. You only get one chance to get everything just right, afterall. The week of the wedding, Cynthia took full control of communicating with all of our vendors. She was a god-send! She organized and coordinated with everybody - I didn't have any headache to deal with. The day of our wedding, she and the ladies were the first vendors we saw as we were getting our hair and make-up done. I knew I had nothing to worry about. And I was right. Our wedding reception was amazing and beautiful!! And I credit Cynthia with getting all the details just right - it was more than I could have even imagined. Having her by my side throughout the wedding planning process was a blessing! I cannot say enough about her and the great job she did. Bride-to-be's, if you want the wedding of your dreams without the headaches that come with it, do yourselves a favor and contact Bliss Is Events. Cynthia will be your wedding-planning best friend, fairy-godmother, miracle-worker, and general/enforcer rolled into one! She's the BEST! :-)

Cynthia Yi and her team are wonderful and professional wedding planners. My wedding was at a…read moreprivate estate that has never had a large event before. So basically, it was not set up to handle a large amount of people (I had 180 guests). I had concerns such as where do we place the lights where they are most effective, and how do we get rid of all the trash, and where will the valet park all those cars? My wedding planning was a big headache. Luckily, Cynthia was able to foresee all those obstacles and more and help create a solution. -She always replied back with emails quickly, and with texts even quicker. -She was always highly professional and prepared during our meetings. -She was honest, and gave her opinion if something would not work out (unlike some vendors who promise too much and under-deliver). -She provided a great team to work with for the day of. -She provided more services than what was outside of our contract to make sure everything ran smoothly the day of. -She was even available after the wedding for follow-up questions that I had (wedding contract info, vendor info, random questions). There is always something that will go wrong with your event. No event is perfect, but with Cynthia, I felt that it ran as smooth as it possibly could have than with any other event planner. My husband and I highly recommend Cynthia as a wedding planner. I couldn't have done it without her and her team.

She did a fantastic job allowing my husband and I to enjoy the party stress-free! She worked with me on conceptualizing the event including decor, flow, & menu and had wonderful suggestions to create the vibe and energy we were looking for. Vanessa hired all the vendors remaining mindful of our budget, including, a bartender, DJ, caterers, serving staff, lighting, ice luge sculpture, photo-booth, and balloon arch. We loved all the vendors and so did our guests! Vanessa also handled the floral centerpieces as well as paying all the vendors. The day of the party was quite hectic with all the vendors setting up all at the same time. Like the pro that she is, Vanessa organized and managed them all with ease requiring very little from my husband and I. We received so many compliments on the party. I highly recommend Vanessa's services.

There is a sweet, reassuring grace to the way Amy guides a wedding day from start to finish…read more Having shared many wedding mornings with her over the years, I've always admired how she handles the unexpected. No matter what changes behind the scenes, Amy has a way of protecting the bride's peace. While our team focuses on hair and makeup, she quietly brings all the moving pieces together without ever letting the bride feel the stress about any details. That kind of care is a gift. Amy leads with warmth, humility, and confidence, making everyone around her feel supported. Working alongside her is always a joy, and I'd happily recommend her to any couple!

Probably good for older folks too, but if you're a younger couple, you'll find her style very easy and efficient.

Working with Holly to plan our perfect backyard maximalist lesbian dream wedding was such a joy…read morefrom start to finish. We initially found her because we were looking for a wedding planner that enthusiastically supports the LGBTQ+ community, but little did we know how much the three of us would click as both creatives and friends. I promise, Holly is EVERYTHING you want in a wedding planner. She is kind but resolute, organized but flexible, and honestly just really good at getting stuff done. My wife is type A, and I am admittedly type B, and Holly found the flow between the two of us that made the planning process go smoothly. She took care of the thousands (millions?) of details behind the scenes while also guiding us on what we as a couple needed to get done. And on the day of the wedding, we never felt one ounce of stress - she had everything handled. What a gift. Beyond that, Holly's vendor recommendations were equally as great. She knew that we were looking for queer and/or women-owned businesses as often as possible, and she hit the nail on the head. We are so grateful to have had such a professional wedding planner who saw our vision and valued us as a couple. You will never regret working with Holly Gray.

As the production team…read moresupporting the stage and A/V, we get a unique perspective on presenters, and Holly truly stands out. She is incredibly professional, well prepared, and thoughtful about every aspect of her presentation. From our first interaction through her time on stage, she was collaborative, communicative, and clearly very experienced. She understands how to work with a production team, which makes a huge difference in creating a smooth and successful presentation. Most importantly, Holly connects with her audience in a genuine and impactful way. Her message about breaking down barriers to networking in the wedding industry resonated strongly with attendees, and the feedback we heard after the event was overwhelmingly positive. Any organization looking for a speaker who is engaging, professional, and easy to work with would be fortunate to have Holly on their stage. I would absolutely recommend her for speaking engagements.

Well, happy to say that was not the case for me. I remember every moment of that perfect day. My wedding day was the most perfect, best day of my life and it is all thanks to Janice and the Somni team!!! Not exaggerating when I say we had at least 6 guests tell us it was the best wedding they ever attended! I do not have the words to describe the angel on earth that is Janice. The whole process from start to finish was not only easy, but FUN! People always say planning sucks, well with Janice it was a blast! She truly understood my vision and was not only excellent at planning and logistics but her aesthetics and taste are second to none! She was the perfect person to bounce my ideas off on and help me figure out what I wanted. It's wild having someone so in sync with you that they are literally able to make your aesthetic dreams come to fruition. Janice and team took care of EVERYTHING such to the point that it was so flawless I was just attending my own wedding without having to worry about a thing! Literally I forgot the timeline schedule and wasn't even looking at my phone to make sure things were going according to plan. I was able to just be present and in the moment without worrying about the logistics of the day. All this to say, HIRE SOMNI. You will not regret it. I promise this is not a paid promotion - just an incredibly grateful and satisfied bride that cannot thank Janice and the Somni team enough for the lifetime memories they helped create for me. I literally miss talking to Janice weekly - she's just the best!!!!!!

Grace and Rebecca were our coordinators for our April Wedding. I cannot describe how amazing these…read moreladies are. From our first consultation, they made me feel so comfortable and assured me, that I was in good hands. They knocked everything out of the ball park. I hired them for the day of coordination. The coordinators at our venue site, were coordinators from hell. I was so glad these ladies were there for rehearsal and for set up. They troubleshoot all problems and would only bother me if a decision needed to be made by the bride and groom. I didn't even know the things that went behind the curtains, but from family and friends that assisted us with set up. These girls made miracles happen. We had some issues with the set up at the venue site, and most of the problem came from the venue not being ready for the set up. These ladies, told me to go inside and not to worry about anything. They will take care of it. At this point we were an hour behind schedule due to the venue not having the space set up as agreed upon. They somehow magically had all set up done, with an extra 10 minutes to spare for me to take a look. There was a slight delay in the reception due to guests arriving late (go figure). They adjusted everything accordingly and reassured me to not stress out about it. The entire time, as they were setting up and troubleshooting, they constantly checked in on me and the groom. Making sure we were resting, eating, and drinking fluid. Once the dinner started, they ran everything flawlessly. I come from an Asian family, and I know my family is a tough cookie. The girls were actually able to handle my family, and make sure reception ran smoothly. It was so important to me to have Chinese speaking coordinators, because of the language barrier with family in case there was a problem. The girls handled it without a problem. Even till the end, which I'm sure they were beaten to the bone. They were professional and did everything with a smile. Their customer service and warm personality is what really made me choose them. I would not go with another set of coordinators, even if someone was to have paid me to. These girls are so knowledgeable and understand the ins and outs of a wedding. I knew I was in safe hands with my wedding. Don't look further, because you won't find another team that are more willing and capable of making your big day happen than Pink Martini Events.

You want to be in capable hands and just enjoy yourself on your big day, and Orange Blossom was absolutely that for us. I'm prone to overthinking, so I was amazed at how smoothly everything went and how little I thought about logistics on the wedding day, because they were all handled to perfection. We got married at King Gillette Ranch which is basically a completely empty space you have to build out from scratch with your vendors. Janna kept things going with a smile. All the vendors knew what to do and set things up impeccably. During the event, Janna safeguarded us when needed, moved us along when needed, and let us enjoy ourselves without interruption when we could. She and her team thought of so many touches big and small that really made our day, even something like having a drink and apps ready just for us after the ceremony. And the items they set up were done beautifully. Janna even came to help me with a wardrobe malfunction that I couldn't figure out how to fix. It was a real-life fairy godmother moment! All this to say that you can trust this team, and I am so grateful that I did. We went with the Lantana package (coordination), which obviously meant we had to do some of the heavy lifting and research in preparation for the wedding, but it was invaluable to have the guidance of Janna the whole way. I would say it was very worth it for the amount of involvement she had a whole year in advance. She sent us vendor recommendations, a planning calendar, looked at contracts, and we had monthly calls. We kept track of our budget, would call and book vendors, picked rentals and flowers (design), handled stationary, RSVPs, DIYs, and a million other things that go into planning a wedding. I liked being able to make decisions, and stayed on top of things with spreadsheets and lists, but I wouldn't have felt comfortable doing it without an expert like Janna who could keep me on track so nothing important fell through the cracks. It was also incredibly useful to be able to ask her anything throughout the process if I had any questions. And Janna eventually took over vendor communications about 1 month out, which allowed us to focus on final prep all couples go through, and guests trickling into town. It was the perfect amount of involvement for us.

We had already done all the footwork, booked vendors, had the timeline done and sent to vendors, planned, etc.... EVERYTHING was done! We were trying so hard to find a place that understood the situation and that we didn't need an over all planner/coordinator but a day-of coordinator. Lily from Orange Blossom stepped up to the plate and did a phenomenal job!! She understood that we just needed someone there the day of and she never once overstepped or made us feel stressed. She followed our wishes perfectly and made sure our timeline was fulfilled to a T! Lily is extremely professional, patient and kind. She goes above and beyond on the day and made sure nothing went wrong!! We greatly appreciate Lily for taking us on as clients and being so easygoing, organized and kind! I also want to stress that Orange Blossom and Lily were kind enough to give us a discount since we had already done all the footwork! They didn't feel it was morally right to charge us for an overall planner/coordinator. It's rare (especially in the wedding industry) to find people with such great morals, integrity and kindness. But Lily and Orange Blossom are full of that! Thank you so much for all of your help, Lily! We appreciate you so much!! She deserves a raise and all the flowers. She's truly the best!
