Bridal Bliss

As the groom, I must admit I was a bit skeptical of using a wedding planner at first. It did not take long for any skepticism to dissipate and for me to realize they were worth every penny. Bridal Bliss made the planning and execution of our wedding flawless. By the time the wedding day arrived, Nora, Heather, and their entire staff had everything under control which allowed my wife and me to enjoy the moments. Bridal Bliss really was a major player in giving my wife and me the wedding we will never forget.\r \r Thanks Bridal Bliss! more

Working with Bridal Bliss was a fantastic experience. As a bride planning a wedding with my groom, parents, and sister: I was nervous and stressed. None of us knew where to start but we all thought we could handle it on our own -- we could not have been more wrong and we are very thankful that we considered Bridal Bliss for coordination. After meeting with Nora it was very apparent we needed full-service coordination and swiftly booked Katy Haley as our wedding coordinator. \r \r Katy was a pleasure to work with. She was kind, thoughtful and knowledgeable. She got the vision we had for our wedding and was able to find and book top-notch vendors and keep us on track. She made the process stress-free and fun. With her expertise and guidance we all enjoyed planning the wedding and then were able to fully enjoy the festivities because she had the execution and details under control. \r \r We had a weekend long celebration and Katy was there every step of the way: from the ""welcome dinner"" to the ""goodbye breakfast"". We had 3 ceremonies: Catholic, Chinese, and Iranian and she executed all of them flawlessly. \r \r At the end of the wedding, my father (the father of the bride) said it was the best money he's ever spent. Which is saying a lot because he was very skeptical of hiring someone at the beginning (Katy very quickly won him over).\r \r All in all, we are very happy Katy and the Bridal Bliss team were a part of our special day and we highly recommend their services. Thank you Katy, Nora and the Bridal Bliss team! more

I can not say enough good things relating to Bridal Bliss and Blissfully Sweet. First of all, the Bridal Bliss team, Heather Seethoff and Megan O'Brien, came in and made my life very easy. Their knowledge of vendors and ability to trouble shoot were the highlights for me. Seeing them work their magic and make things happen close to the wedding made me feel like a very peaceful bride. Secondly, Blissfully Sweet. I love to bake, so bringing a dessert display to life at our wedding was a true desire of mine. Heather Seethoff got my vision the first time we met, and brought it to life the day of the wedding. Every piece of dessert was locally made, and delicious. The cake was especially delightful. A month later, I still have people either asking me about the dessert display, or discussing how epic is was. I mean, how many people throw elbows to get to the front of your dessert display? Trust me...it happened. more

When Marcus and I got engaged and began planning our wedding, I immediately knew we had to have Bridal Bliss. Elizabeth Corr was my assigned coordinator and I worked with her start to finish. Elizabeth, being a native to Seattle, was the perfect fit for my wedding in downtown Seattle. From the moment we first met through my wedding night, I knew I was in good hands. She helped me along every step of the way making sure no detail was overlooked. She knew the Seattle area, connected me with great vendors and helped keep my wedding within my budget. Elizabeth helped with the design, the décor and bringing in unique (but affordable) elements to really make the day memorable. The week of my wedding I rested easy know that Elizabeth was hard at work creating the wedding of my dreams. The day was PERFECTION. Everything came together flawlessly, it looked better than I could have imagined and I can honestly say I had the best time with zero stress. I owe it all to Elizabeth and Bridal Bliss. Thank you! more

I honestly can say that I wouldn't have been able to get through my wedding with out Krystal Kelch from Bridal Bliss. From the moment we met I felt completely reassured that everything was going to be beautiful and it was! Not only did she take care of almost EVERYTHING, but she gave me so much peace of mind. You can't put a price on that. For anyone wondering if hiring a coordinator is worth it, I recommend just meeting with one of these ladies. They really blew me away with their thoroughness, and genuine love for what they do. It was super fun to work with someone who listened to me and was always working to give me and my husband the best experience possible. Cannot say enough for Krystal and this company! more

I am a photographer who was worked with Nora at several weddings. Nora is a pleasure to work with. She has a great personality and weddings always ran very smoothly with her coordinating. I highly recommend her. She is dedicated and very professional. more

Bridal Bliss is wonderful. We hired Katy of Bridal Bliss as a ""day of"" wedding planner Katy started by meeting with us several times before the wedding to make sure she was up-to-date on all the vendors & their details. She offered advice when asked and was very professional and prepared. She read people very well when coordinating and working with all of our vendors, and helped us get through a sticky situation or two by acting as our liaison. On the wedding day, Katy put in overtime hours for us to make sure every detail was in place. She was a lifesaver when we couldn't locate several items and she knew just where to find them. She even texted us an answer after everyone had gone home. Katy was a joy to work with: capable, personable, and hard working. She was worth her weight in gold! more

Nora and Bridal Bliss crew, are awesome to work with. They all make you feel very secure in the craziness wedding planning can bring. The big day is a whirlwind, but having bridal bliss there for every step of the way, made my wedding day enjoyable, very little stress I just got to enjoy my wedding party and family everything was taken care of and it was gorgeous. Every part of our wedding Nora put together Katy took over the day of our wedding and the reception and site of wedding ceremony was breathtaking, Nora was so fun to work with and made me feel comfortable with all the decisions I had to make. I would highly recommend Nora and her team, I would never plan a wedding without her and recommend her to everyone I meet that is getting married. This is totally worth every penny!!!! more

Nora is not only the BEST wedding planner, she is also a terrific person who makes the whole wedding process FUN, memorable and special. Every time my husband and I contacted Nora regarding wedding details, she always answered our questions right away and made us feel like we could always depend on her. Nora is organized, calm, funny and full of energy. She always took the time to check in with us regarding EVERY detail, but also did not overwhelm us with too many wedding tasks, decisions, etc. Some things we love about Nora is that she is open and willing to work with many different vendors, is very creative and makes sure your wedding is what you and your fiance envision from the beginning. I have personally seen Nora in action at weddings where I work and she is the QUEEN of multitasking, while always having a smile on her face and making sure things run smoothly. My mom originally thought we only needed a wedding planner for the day-of, but after we met with Nora the first time, my mom said she could not imagine the entire wedding planning process without her there every step of the way! Nora is very responsible and a true artist in her profession. We were honored to have Nora as our wedding planner and are so thankful she helped make our wedding the best day in our lives!!! more

Nora Sheils from Bridal Bliss helped us create a magical and unforgettable wedding. My husband and I move fast and after getting engaged, we decided we didn't want to wait and set the wedding date for a short 3 months away. From our very first phone call, Nora was professional, organized, efficient, and fun! She had great ideas and also encouraged us to carry out our more eccentric ones. We can't even begin to express our gratitude over how beautiful and perfect everything was. Thank you Nora and Team!!!! more

The Bridal Bliss team made wedding planning not only easy but cost effective! They recommended quality vendors who created exactly what I had envisioned and were on top of all the details I never thought about! Working and planning a wedding seemed overwhelming until I hired Nora and the gang. My advice to future brides.... hire Bridal Bliss to take care of anything and everything. You'll enjoy working with them and they will make your day seem like a breeze. more

Nora is an incredible wedding planner and a must-have asset for any bride-to-be and their family. Planning a wedding is full of difficult tasks and Nora is the experienced guide you need with great recommendations, vendors and knowledge that will make your wedding everything you want it to be. I am so thankful to have worked with Nora and can say that my wedding day was absolutely incredible due to her. more

I am a wedding cake baker here in Portland. I have provided the wedding cake to dozens of her events over the last seven years. \r \r She is always timely, professional, calm, and organized. Her brides always seem to love her. Nora always makes my job easier.\r \r Judy of Dream Cakes more

Nora has the reputation as the best wedding planner in Portland and she deserves it! We interviewed other wedding planners and did not feel comfortable entrusting our wedding with any of them. However, when we met Nora we immediately knew that she could make the most out of our ideas and budget. We also clicked with her personally and knew we wanted to work with her. We hired her for day of coordination as well as some extra time to help with decor and design ideas. I can honestly say it was the best decision we made!! Our wedding was amazing and just what we wanted -- many thanks to Nora. We used several vendors she suggested (over others we were considering) and I know this was a big factor in our wedding being such a success. Our families and friends were all impressed with the elegance of our wedding and how smooth the whole day went...we owe that all to Nora. She is wonderful and an expert at her craft. Trust me, HIRE HER! more

Nora is great to work with! We at Willamette Productions have really enjoyed working with Nora because she is professional, fun and connected. more

My sister got engaged a little over a year ago and my entire family was thrilled and so happy for her. Not only were we excited for my sister to have snagged such a great guy (and for her boyfriend to become a part of our family)...but I personally immediately had visions of what a fun-filled weekend we'd have! Full of fancy dinners, gorgeous dresses, fake eyelashes (yes!), candellit tables, the smell of elaborate flower arrangements, exquisite wines, champagne toasts, double decker bus rides, photo booth costumes and catered after parties. Ahhh....I couldn't WAIT!!\r \r I floated back to reality when my mom called me a couple days after her big announcement to give me a long lecture about how much work, help and moral support both of us were going to have to give my sister in order to help her plan a wedding (which all three of us had never done before). Ugh! \r \r When my sister decided she was going to hire Nora, I think our entire family let out a collective sigh of relief. \r \r From the time Nora started working with my sister, I honestly didn't have more than a couple small conversations with both my mom and sister about planning the wedding. I was shocked! My sister was completely non-bridezilla-ish (not that I expected she would be, of course) and my worrisome mom seemed unusually calm and relaxed. Every detail was outlined and organized and Nora had numerous contacts for my sister to choose from for every aspect of her rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony and reception. \r \r As the maid of honor, I felt a (VERY) slight twinge of guilt that I wasn't more helpful. \r \r The wedding weekend was perfect! From transportation for family members, to hotel reservations and gift bags....from the rehearsal dinner to the catered lunch the next day while we were all getting ready. The photographer was amazing and the flowers were gorgeous. It rained on my sister's wedding day and I almost thought Nora may have planned that just for the beautiful photos the wedding party got under black umbrellas next to our big red double decker bus. The reception went off without a hitch, the food was amazing, everyone had a blast, and the after party was perfect. \r \r I can't thank Nora enough for what she did the past year for my sister, myself and my whole family! She made my sister's wedding something we will never forget, and something we will all look back on with fond memories, no stress involved.\r \r Nora is a true professional and truly the best! Use her for all she's worth, I'm telling you! more

My sister recently got married and my family and I were so grateful for Bridal Bliss!! Nora was fantastic! She was very professional and organized, she had great ideas, knows so many great vendors. She is reliable, calm and collected (even when the wedding folk aren't) and always has a smile on her face. I can't say enough good things about Bridal Bliss! When I get married, Nora will be the first call I make! more

We hired Nora for our wedding to do the ""Day of Coordination"". The only thing I would change would be to hire her from the moment we got engaged!! She has lots of insider knowledge and great connections to wedding vendors all over Portland. Very well respected. We had two meetings to discuss timelines, etc. prior to the wedding and she was available to answer any and all questions I had leading up to the big day. Having her there for the rehearsal and day of the wedding was INVALUABLE! I could just relax knowing that she would handle anything with professional ease. Not only was she helpful to me....my husband, my mom, my sisters, bridesmaids felt more relaxed having her there too. Do yourself a favor...if you're looking for a coordinator....HIRE HER. :) more

Bridal Bliss was the best decision I made for my wedding, hands down! Nora and her team are truly spectacular and it was worth every penny I spent. I was so calm the day of my wedding and it's because everything was taken care of by Nora and her team and I just knew it was going to be great! I also really enjoyed working with Nora--she is fun and creative and really makes you feel like she understands you and your vision. You spend so much time with your wedding planner during these months and it can get stressful so it's important that you enjoy them and trust them! Hands down Nora is a GREAT wedding planner, you will not regret it. more

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Bridal Bliss. I met with Nora just over a year before my wedding. She matched me with Christina. It was a perfect match. Christina is so professional, but also so much fun. She is extremely creative and took care of EVERYTHING! SHE'S AMAZING!! Because of Christina, we didn't worry about a single aspect of our wedding and we're able to enjoy every second of our wedding day... stress-free! DO NOT HESITATE to go with Bridal Bliss for your wedding. They are worth EVERY penny. We love Christina!!!! more
