We are incredibly grateful to Kathryn Herring, owner of Embrace Bliss, for the beautiful Celebration of Life she planned and hosted for our family after my father’s passing. She took the time to truly understand who he was and thoughtfully personalized every element to reflect his love of aviation and, most importantly, his family. There was a piece of him at every table, which made the entire event feel deeply meaningful and personal.

Kathryn handled every detail seamlessly—from the audio and sound to the food, flowers, and special aviation touches woven throughout the space. Everything came together perfectly, yet it all happened quietly in the background so our family could focus on being together and honoring my father.

Her compassion, creativity, and attention to detail meant more to us than we can express. She created an atmosphere that celebrated his life beautifully and allowed us the comfort of simply being present with one another. We will always be grateful for the care and heart she put into this special day.

Kathryn Herring of Embrace Bliss created a truly beautiful and meaningful Celebration of Life for our uncle in Santa Monica. He was an artist with a deep passion for painting, and Kathryn thoughtfully transformed the event into an art walk that perfectly reflected who he was.

Every detail felt intentional and personal. She incorporated orchids—his favorite flower—throughout the space and creatively used art supplies and artistic elements to bring the environment to life. It felt less like an event and more like stepping into a living tribute to his creativity and spirit.

The entire space told his story in such a thoughtful way, allowing family and friends to move through the celebration and remember him through the things he loved most. Kathryn has an incredible gift for turning memories and passions into an experience that feels both beautiful and deeply personal. Our family is so grateful for the care, creativity, and heart she put into honoring our uncle.

Embrace Bliss stepped in to help organize the day, the vendors and the flowers for my Mother’s Celebration of Life.  We were all so heartbroken at the loss of my mother and it was such an ease and comfort to know that Kathryn was there to help manage the day and details for all of us.  We could deal with our family and feelings while she managed everything else.  It was timeless, reverent and exactly what my mom would have wanted.  I did not have the capacity or strength to deal with all the logistics.  I am so grateful to Kathryn and Embrace Bliss.

Kathryn helped organize a memorial service at our home and was truly wonderful to work with. She was very respectful of our budget and incredibly resourceful in making everything come together beautifully.  She created a warm, comfortable atmosphere that made our home feel welcoming for all of the guests who came to honor our loved one. Despite the nature of the occasion, the space felt peaceful and supportive, which meant so much.

I am grateful for her care, professionalism, and attention to detail, and would absolutely recommend her.
