Even if you tell yourself "I'm just having an intimate wedding, I don't need a planner", let me be the one to tell you that hiring Cindy is worth it! Untraditional couple, family drama, pandemic hangups and curveballs, rain for the first time in months during wedding week - our wedding had it all, and Cindy handled it seamlessly by being proactive and anticipating needs and changes before they became problems. I was busy with medical school, but she understood my intentions, personality, and vision and took every burden off my shoulders she could during the process. She is highly organized, compassionate, smart, direct, and just fun to talk with. She knew when to clue me in and when to handle it herself, and she gave me honest opinions on my vendors that truly helped me select the best team. Day before and day of, she coordinated everything flawlessly. Let me tell you right now- there is a LOT more than you think to be done wedding week and you will have so much more time to just enjoy if you hire Cindy. Cindy is a true pro in the PNW wedding industry and I highly recommend she be your first investment for your wedding.

Hiring Cindy was hands-down the best decision we made for our wedding! There are MANY benefits to…read morehaving Peachy Keen Coordination a part of your wedding planning and wedding day, but the best for us was that we could really enjoy our engagement period AND be present at our wedding day knowing Cindy was on our team. We booked the Millions of Peaches option, so we really got to know Cindy through the 12 months of preparation for our wedding. She is kind, talented, and now a dear friend! Cindy kept us informed on every COVID-19 update and how we could pivot our wedding to safely celebrate in the guidelines. Our wedding was a complete build-out at a private residence which required a lot of planning and organization. Cindy arranged multiple site visits with our other vendors and was always supportive of our vision above all else. I cannot state enough how organized Cindy is, from budget spreadsheets and RSVP tracking to seating charts and timelines; our other wedding vendors loved working with her! During the week of our wedding, she was on site every day overseeing set-up and she ran the best wedding rehearsal I have ever been a part of! On our wedding day, she arrived six hours before the ceremony to do day-of set up and stayed hours after the guests had left to clean up... outstanding! She even helped make sure we filled out the marriage license correctly. It was pure joy to see our wedding vision realized and everything went so smoothly because Cindy was always working in the background! I truly believe we would not have had a better experience with anyone else, and if we had to do it all over, I would pick Peachy Keen Coordination every time!

I was so blessed to have such an amazing, supportive, positive, friendly wedding planner! Jenny was…read morethere for me every step of the way from my engagement to the wedding. Actually she even helped with with all the loose ends from after the wedding. We had several meetings to discuss everything from the timeline to the details. She helped me in decision making with all vendors. Everything with my wedding went smoothly because Jenny was by my side. Love her and would strongly recommend!

Jenny is a saint! I had originally planned to not have a wedding planner because somehow I thought…read moreI could do everything myself, ha! I was definitely wrong. As the months grew closer to our wedding date, my husband and I thought it would be a good idea to ask for Jenny's help. I didn't budget for a planner so Jenny was nice enough to tailor our plan so we could afford it. I'm so happy the way our wedding day turned out. My flower lady forgot some accents for my bouquets and Jenny took care of it right away and everything was how I wanted by the time the ceremony started! If anything else happened, she took care of it and made my day seem so flawless. I'm so thankful for her and if you're having second thoughts on a planner, Jenny will not disappoint! Do it! :)

My husband and I decided to get married in Cannon Beach, Oregon and had booked our date and venue…read moreover a year in advance. After a few months of trying to plan and coordinate everything on our own, my husband brought up the idea of hiring a coordinator. To be honest (and this will be no surprise to Carolyn), I was hesitant because I was trying to keep our wedding budget as low as possible and didn't think our wedding would be that complicated. But let me tell you, SHE IS WORTH EVERY PENNY and we have absolutely no regrets. We are so incredibly thankful that we found Carolyn because she is Wonder Woman! Not only is she an absolute expert about Cannon Beach weddings/venues/contacts, but she made the entire process as easy as possible for us by taking many things off of our to-do list and tackling them herself. Carolyn quickly grasped our vision and understood the aspects of our wedding that we did not want to be "traditional". We highly recommend choosing the Full Wedding Planning Package and could not imagine pulling off our perfect day without her and our regular check-ins. Carolyn was organized, kind, humorous, and at the end of the day, got things done. She always made herself available, whether it was planned or last-minute. On the wedding day, I encountered a slight dress malfunction...and Carolyn immediately came to the rescue with her "emergency kit" and made it appear as though nothing ever happened. She always told us that if there are problems on our wedding day, we would never know about them because she would take care of it -- it certainly felt that way to us! We love Carolyn (to the point that my husband started tearing up when we were saying thank you and goodbye to her after the wedding because we had such a great experience)! Thank you for a wedding weekend that we and our guests will never forget! Hire her!

From the very start of meeting Carolyn, throughout the wedding planning process, until after the wedding, Carolyn took care of everything.

My daughter's wedding was a dream come true. Thank you Carolyn!

Katy is truly the best in the business. We engaged Katy ~18 months before our original wedding…read moredate, but due to COVID this became ~30 months, so we got to know Katy well. We live out of state and didn't have context on the local wedding scene. Our venue also provided very little - we had to bring in generators, tents, furniture, etc. We are the type of clients that wanted to explore all options and vendors in the ecosystem. Our only regret is that we didn't trust Katy's guidance 100% of the time early on, because it turned out she was always right. She has excellent relationships with all the vendors and will get you great rates and service, while making sure the wedding is personalized, creative, and unique to the couple. We unexpectedly had to change venues for our rehearsal dinner 5 days before the event due to covid, and she managed it all with ease, securing new decor, transportation etc, always staying on top of the smallest details. Despite the crazy times, she maintained a positive attitude and kept us as calm as possible. Bridal Bliss also uses Rock Paper Coin, which makes payment tracking and vendor management easy. We simply could not have done it without Katy and Bridal Bliss. They are worth every penny and more. We would be happy to be a reference for any prospective clients.

I was recommended to hire her through some of my mother's friends, and it could not have been more worth it. From the very beginning, she was kind, attentive, and took the time to truly understand our wedding vision - classic and timeless - and what mattered most to us. She was thoughtful and prompt in her communication throughout the planning process, making everything feel seamless and stress-free leading up to the big day On the wedding day itself, Catherine went above and beyond--stepping in to help when we needed it most (especially with our cake!)--all while maintaining such calm professionalism. She was always present without ever feeling intrusive, bringing a sense of ease to the entire day. Her eye for detail and artistry are remarkable, and she carries herself with such warmth, grace, and care that made Julian and I feel supported from start to finish. We are beyond grateful to have had Catherine by our side. She not only helped make our wedding day run smoothly but truly enhanced the experience with her compassion and dedication. I cannot recommend her enough to any couple looking for a wedding planner who combines exceptional talent with genuine compassion and an unwavering commitment to making their wedding day unforgettable. Thank you for everything Bridal Bliss and Catherine!

The moment we met with Katie we knew she would be perfect for us. At the time of our meeting with Gather Event my anxiety was high. I felt like I had nothing under control and wasn't sure how I was going to handle everything, but by the end of the meeting I felt much calmer and confident that Katie would make our day run perfectly. Through the entire process she was cool, calm, and collected. Her team made sure every detail was covered, thought about, and managed. They helped create our wedding timeline and made sure all vendors were aware of timing and facilitated those relationships from start to finish. I didn't have to think about much during the last couple of weeks before the wedding and what a gift that was; to be relaxed and confident before the big day! I am so thankful we decided to have Gather Event Planning be a part of our day. I received so many compliments on how smooth everything ran, and how perfectly calm the wedding atmosphere seemed. That was all thanks to Katie and her team. I couldn't have asked for a better day. Do yourself a favor, and hire a day-of-coordinator and make sure it's Gather Event Planning!

I can't put into words how grateful I am that Katie Wilgus was our wedding planner for our wedding…read morelast month. After our first coffee meeting, I knew she is IT. She is super dialed into the wedding industry and was able to easily rattle off recommendations for vendors that matched our style, wants and needs. I also found her to be very thoughtful, strategic, smart, and extremely calm, not to mention super experienced. And the proof is in the pudding -- if you look at photos of her events, they are so incredibly beautiful, put-together and stylish. We were originally supposed to be married in May 2020, and having to put off our marriage several times due to the pandemic was a huge disappointment. But Katie stuck by us through two rounds of rescheduling and helped us through it ALL. She understands events and the industry so well that even though the pandemic was uncharted territory for all of us, her knowledge and gut instincts saved us many times. She was always quick to answer emails and phone calls, and there was never a loose end on her watch -- she is so organized and focused. And we could always count on her to be super honest and transparent with her advice; if spending money on something added a lot of value or made a lot of sense, she would tell us, but she would also let us know where we could easily save money. I was happy with every one of her recommendations -- vendors, decor, paper goods, everything! I will also never forget the many examples of kindness and empathy that Katie showed us, including literally HOLDING a plate of cheese and fruit for me to eat from between photos on my wedding day! Her compassion and positive energy are honestly humbling. When we were planning our event with all these masking and safety restrictions, I was worried that after all this work and all these postponements, the resulting event was going to feel like a compromise. But our day was honestly perfect and stunningly beautiful, and a lot of the credit for that goes to Katie. I am forever grateful and would heartily recommend her to anyone planning an event.

They were thorough, prompt, professional, and good at creatively solving problems as they arose. I would recommend EJP Events to anyone who is planning a large event - the experience was wonderful and my staff colleagues, supporters, and donors were all very impressed with the quality of our event. Emee and her team had great staffing at the event and skillfully coordinated all of our many shifting logistics for months leading up to the event. When we encountered obstacles, they handled them. When we needed to make changes, they cheerfully accommodated them. EJP has a "Can-do" attitude and they're both pragmatic and realistic about setting expectations while finding a way to get everything done. I'm so glad that we worked with EJP and they're at the top of my list for event planning in the future.

We wanted an event that brought our community and family together to celebrate love, bikes, and camping in the stunning Columbia River Gorge, and it felt like Emee truly understood what was important to us from the start. There were so many tiny details she caught and helped us navigate. I particularly appreciated her calm support when we had a potential catering issue just three days before the wedding. She talked me off the ledge of worry and was willing to think through a full backup plan with me, before the issue resolved on its own. There were countless other instances of Emee handling things on the day of the wedding that let me, my husband, and our family just enjoy our time together. Thank you Emee, we saw your tireless effort to pull this event off for us, and we are so grateful for all of your work!
