The best day of our lives

My now wife and I had always dreamed of getting married at the Hotel Del. We are both extremely busy business owners and Korie came highly recommended by our contact at the Del. I was skeptical at first to have a wedding planner but it was required by the hotel and we had ambition plans for the event with little available time to spend planning. Throughout the process, Korie kept us on track, had great vendor referrals, and is overall an extremely organized and alpha personality--which is what we needed. There were times we disagreed but Korie is a master at disagreeing without being disagreeable. In addition, whenever there was a problem, she found a solution. The day of the event went off flawlessly. The run up to the event was actually low stress unlike many horror stories you hear about weddings. Korie worked tirelessly behind the scenes and knew what to do (or what to tell us what to do) at exactly the right moments. Her presence was felt but not at all a distraction. Even though we did not hire her for our afterparty, she stuck around to see through the grand entrance and coordinate the vendors we had setup. She embodies the definition of a dedicated professional and I would recommend her without hesitation to any friend or loved one planning a wedding or event in the San Diego area. The wedding was truly amazing and beyond words to describe. Thank you Korie and Bliss Events.

Bliss is actual Bliss!!

Bliss made our dream wedding a reality, and the entire experience from start to finish so, so easy. Ashley was OUTSTANDING. She was easy to communicate with, incredibly responsive, had excellent vendor referrals, and ultimately made our wedding planning + wedding experience a breeze.

I am highly picky and interviewed 8 different planners in San Diego and can say with confidence that Bliss / Ashley are THE BEST. It is so lovely to know that you can relax on your wedding day (and every day leading up to it) because someone like Ashley has your back.

Thank you so much Ashley and team!!!! Our wedding was everything we could have asked for and more. We love you!!

Best Wedding Planner EVER!!!!

Rachel is the best wedding planner!!!!!!

While planning for wedding, I was lost what to do and how to do, but she guided me and provided all vendor suggestions and wedding tips. It was very helpful and useful, so I saved times & money a lot!

If you are working with Rachel, you will be stress-free and focus on what you need to do. Especially wedding day, you don't need to worry about anything! Everything is ready and set up before you realize!!!! (Even all of my wedding vendors were surprised and mentioned how amazing she is.)

I already recommended Rachel to guests & friends who are planning for the wedding!!

Team

Rachel Welland
Rachel Welland
Owner + Coordinator

What began as a hobby organizing her 4th grade pajama party, has transformed into a passionate career of design and leadership in San Diego’s wedding and event coordination industry. Rachel’s stunning and relevant work with a diverse clientele has made her one of the most sought-after wedding artists in the county. Anyone who meets Rachel knows that her limitless energy, creativity, and mastery of time management are the icing on the cake of her flawless event designs.

Rachel’s Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design adds a whole new dimension to her event design process, exceeding her clients’ visions with unique style and creativity. Rachel has also gained a valuable behind-the-scenes perspective of the industry while working at the prestigious L’Auberge Del Mar Resort and Spa.

When Rachel has a [rare!] free Saturday, she can be spotted with her family, enjoying beautiful San Diego at a tasty brunch, the beach, or a museum. One thing, out of so many, that her husband loves most about her, is the value she places on family. Rachel is fully committed to the people she loves and the memorable moments she is creating at Bliss Events.

Korie Younger
Korie Younger
Coordinator

Korie unknowingly started her event planning career while organizing birthday parties as a child. Lucky for her young friends, she didn’t start charging for her standout services until her college job in the events department at Sea World. Korie then joined Westfield Malls where she planned a wide variety of events and has since found her passion for organizing social celebrations, one-of-a-kind weddings, and corporate gatherings.

Korie has always put 100% of her positive and energetic self into her work, and it speaks for itself. She treats each wedding like it’s her own, making her clients feel comfortable, trusted, and heard every step of the way. Korie loves traditions, but also loves finding original ways to showcase her clients’ personalities. She takes pride in establishing long-lasting relationships with her clients and seeing their families grow.

When it comes to enjoying her happy place outside of the wedding world, Korie likes taking her kids and dog to the beach. Seeing them smile and play, along with the peace of the ocean, brings her endless happiness.

Korie feels proud to work alongside an amazing group of creative professionals who all care about their clients; from the first meeting, to “I do”, and honored to have a role in such an impactful life event.

Ashley Babiarz
Ashley Babiarz
Coordinator

For Ashley, discovering event planning was like an artist finding her medium. Everything about it felt right! Her creativity and organizational skills took her from planning high school spirit days and conferences, to Social Chair and President of her sorority at UCLA. Ashley later secured a professional role in Operations, handling budgets, negotiating contracts, and engaging with a variety of clients. After working with Bliss Events to plan her own wedding in 2010, she couldn’t resist joining the team herself.

Ashley doubles as the master of logistics and loves fitting all of the event details together like an elaborate puzzle. One of her favorite moments of the coordination process is meeting a couple for the first time and witnessing their giddy-in-love joy. Ashley feels honored to organize a day where her clients’ guests get to experience the entirety of their love.

When Ashley isn’t working her wedding magic, she is enjoying breakfast burritos and coffee, hanging at the beach with her husband and sons, and barbequing at home with family and friends. The love Ashley’s family has for her, like a great event, is the culmination of many little things that add up to something extraordinary.
