We could not have done it without you. Seriously. We are indebted to you and so grateful for making our day special. Thank you!

Kathryn Herring from Embrace Bliss is awesome! I can honestly say that I did not stress out one time once I hired Embrace Bliss. My 13 year-old daughter made a comment to me about Kathryn one day that I thought was funny. She said, “Mom, I didn’t like your friend’s wedding planner because she was bossy and she just got on my nerves. Kathryn isn’t like that at all. She’s really nice.” It’s true. Kathryn has a way of getting things done without being pushy or bossy and she has a great personality and sense of humor too. She was so easy to work with and she is a great communicator. She always responded in a timely manner and never left me wondering about anything. If she didn’t have an answer for me yet, she would let me know that and wouldn’t just leave me hanging until she got one.

For our very first meeting, my fiance & I met with Kathryn for about 2 hours where she just talked with us, got to know us, and asked us about our vision. She asked us questions that helped her understand things we liked and didn’t like about previous weddings we had been to. Once we hired her, we agreed that she would find our ceremony site, reception venue, photographer, and florist, as well as give us ideas for decorations, and obviously run the show on the big day.

I cannot express enough how Kathryn “nailed it” every time with her recommendations. The first reception venue she suggested we LOVED. The first ceremony site she recommended we LOVED. And what was amazing is that everything was in our budget. The Florist and Photographer Kathryn selected were great choices too — not only because of their high quality, but also because they were so friendly and easy to work with. Kathryn also booked the hairstylist and make-up artist for me and my bridesmaids and everyone look beautiful!!!

Kathryn knew that my husband & I are “80s rockers” and that we wanted to have a nice & traditional wedding, but sprinkled with a little bit of “edginess.” She made great suggestions along the way for our special day that really made it stand out compared to other weddings I’ve attended. We were married on July 27, 2014, and my husband & I still have people telling us that our wedding was the best wedding they have ever attended. Some comments I’ve received are that it was fun, the pace was great — not too fast and not too much waiting for the next thing to happen, the reception venue was the perfect size for the number of people we had, all of the personal touches (that Kathryn suggested) were great, etc.

Kathryn ran the show the day of the event and she did such a great job AND she looked great that day too. She was dressed comfortably but also appropriately for a wedding. At one point she asked me when I wanted to do something and I told her, “I don’t want to make any decisions today.” She responded, “No problem” with a big smile and she made all of the decisions that day (which she wanted to do anyway but she wanted to make sure I was OK with it first.)

Planning a wedding can be so stressful because there is so much to do and remember and certain things need to be completed according to timelines, etc. I honestly can say that hiring a wedding planner was the best money I have ever spent. This was my second wedding and I did not hire a planner the first time. The stress level was night and day between the two. If you live in the South Bay area I would highly recommend Kathryn. She is a gift for any bride!!!

I can’t even begin to describe how much having Kathryn a part of this special milestone meant to me.  She has been the calm to my crazy and truly made wedding planning so much fun.  When I met her, we felt and instant bond and I just knew she was the missing piece that I needed.  Before meeting Kathryn, I was not enjoying planning my wedding at all, but I wanted more than anything to enjoy planning it.  I was just running around with a binder and couldn’t really figure out where to start.  Just knowing she was in my corner gave me the confidence I needed.  She has a special quality that makes people feel at ease.  We truly appreciate her dedication and expertise and long hours in bringing our wedding day vision to life.  She is simply the best and our wedding was the best ever.

My husband & I got engaged and married within 2 1/2 weeks. Planning a wedding 6 months or even a year out is stressful enough… 2 1/2 weeks was absolutely insane!! However, we decided we didn’t want a large wedding, and were only interested in getting married… we didn’t want to worry about all the little details that goes into planning a wedding. Regardless of what we “thought” we wanted, it wound up being much, much more extensive than we ever anticipated. That’s where Kathryn came in! I met Kathryn the week of our wedding – with literally hundreds of things to do still. She was TRULY a GODSEND! This day would not have happened without her! With all the details of family flying in from the across the country, finding and tailoring a dress, locking down a location, finding a caterer, photographer, cake, decor, and everything in between we found Kathryn just in time to make sure that everything went off without a hitch. She took care of absolutely every detail, which allowed me to actually enjoy our wedding day. She made sure that everything was perfect – taking care of all the vendor logistics, setup, breakdown… you name it! This day would have gone so much differently without her. Thanks to her we had an absolutely AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL wedding – no one would have been able to guess that we only had 18 days to plan. Kathryn made this day so very special and we cannot thank her enough for all that she did! She made sure our wedding day was about us, and not about all the details.

Kathryn,

Words can not describe how incredibly grateful I am to you for helping us create a memorable night.  Our wedding was a success thanks to your attention to detail & overviews.

Thank you so much helping to execute Kacey and Tim’s wedding.  You were an excellent help in getting things moving and reassuring us at the church and working very hard at the house to manage all the details of the day.  You accomplished the goal, to give Kacey & Tim what they envisioned, a simplistic but elegant event that honored God and where they could visit with close friends and family.

Kathryn was my day of coordinator for my wedding in November 2014. Even though, she was only supposed to assist me the day of my wedding, she was there to help me with the planning process as well. She went with me to Michael’s to purchase things for my wedding, she gave me ideas when I couldn’t think of any and most importantly she was professional throughout the process. The week before my wedding, she met with me to make sure that she knew exactly how I envisioned everything to look and go on my special day. She ensured that everything went off without a hitch and was as beautiful as I imagined it. She ensured that all of the other vendors arrived on time and delivered all items as promised. Throughout my wedding day, she continued to check in with me and ensure I was stress free. I definitely recommend her. My husband and I were so pleased!!!

Thank you so much for making our whole weekend the best three days of our lives.  We truly wouldn’t have been able to do it without you. From the rehearsal to the wedding, to the brunch on the beach, everything was absolutely perfect and we have you to thank for that.  We appreciate everything you did for us more than you know.  XOXO

I cannot speak highly enough about Kathryn! She was absolutely amazing!! She helped us with my daughter’s wedding from start to finish and everything was flawless! From the rehearsal dinner and welcoming party to the “Most Perfect Wedding” and the beach brunch the day after. Kathryn made ALL of our little details come to life, and every time I was stressed about something, she calmed me down and said, “I got this” AND… she sure did! She is truly the best! She helped us create our dream wedding! And I got to enjoy it all without a worry! She’s top notch!
