Bliss Coordinating

I am so thankful we found Martha to help coordinate my wedding. She did so much more than just day of help and preparation. She sent me pre-wedding day checklists to make sure I had all of the not so obvious details covered and spent a lot of time with me on the timeline to make sure everything ran smoothly and just how I wanted it. She had the best attitude and no task was too big or too small for her to help with. She took initiative and was very responsive for the months leading up to the big day. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone planning their wedding.

We are so happy that we hired Martha for our wedding day as our coordinator. She went above and beyond to ensure that our day went smooth and that we were able to sit back, relax, and have fun. Martha is organized, very responsive, and easy to work with. Our parents, bridal party, and vendors all commented on how wonderful she was. It was a pleasure to work with Martha and we cannot recommend her services enough.

I never thought I’d hire a wedding planner, it’s an investment and the planning up until the big day was stressful but doable. Having our church and reception venue 30 minutes apart with limited set up time beforehand, that’s what triggered the need for a day of coordinator. I saw great reviews with Bliss Coordinating and the ability to pay an hourly rate was just what we needed. We were able to customize what we needed done the day of so it didn’t fall on us or family to figure out. She was open to do whatever we felt was needed and provided suggestions based on previous weddings she’s worked. From the first time we met to our wedding day, Martha was always available, organized and contacted our vendors to make sure they were too. She worked behind the scenes to make our wedding day as special as it should be. We’re so glad we booked Bliss Coordinating and had Martha to fall back on!

Martha was the best day-of coordinator I could have imagined! We are so glad we found her. She was helpful leading up to the wedding with any questions I had or opinions I was seeking. She handled reaching out to vendors the week of. She ran the rehearsal so well and made everyone feel comfortable. And then the day of, she handled at least 3 crises (that I know of!). The biggest two were: 1) my DJ got sick hours before the ceremony, and the company sent a backup--she handled the entire transition to make sure they had all the right information and schedule of events. I didn't have to do a thing! And 2) my hook & eye on my dress broke while putting it on, and then my bustle broke later in the evening! She was right there both times with her emergency kit, saving the day. We are so, so grateful for Martha. In addition to being on top of everything, she is also exceedingly kind and warm. I would highly recommend her!

Martha was truly amazing and we would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone needing coordinating services! We hired Martha to be our day-of-coordinator for our wedding. We live out of state, so her help was truly invaluable. She was amazing the entire journey from our first initial meeting at a coffee shop about a year before the wedding, to the day of our wedding. She was always very organized and asked many questions about things I hadn't thought of before (and I consider myself an on-top-of-it kind of person and very organized myself). She did so many behind the scenes things that I didn't even know she was doing -- for example, in the weeks leading up to the wedding, I know she had told me she was going to call all the vendors to confirm details, but she did it all so quietly that I wouldn't have known she was indeed doing it unless my uncle (our officiant) hadn't told me Martha had called him. The fact she was taking care of all the nitty gritty details and loose ends in the weeks before the wedding and making sure everything was good to go for our big day was a relief in itself - I was so busy with other things! Martha also came to our ceremony rehearsal, and if you can fit it into your budget to have her there for that, DO IT. She was SO HELPFUL I cannot tell you enough how thankful we were to have her there for that. Who knew a rehearsal could be so hard to coordinate and get people to listen ha! Then on the wedding day, Martha was excellent!! She greeted all the vendors for me, handed out tips, made sure everything ran on time, and put out all of my decorations and made sure it all looked good (among other things). She handled everything beautifully. I honestly don't know what we would have done without her. I knew she had everything so I didn't worry about logistics at all. Also of note, Martha is so budget friendly. When I was first researching, I looked into other wedding coordinators and they were easily 1.5-2x her price. Martha, thank you SO much for all you did for us, we truly cannot thank you enough.

We highly recommend Martha to anyone who is thinking about a day of coordinator." She went above and beyond our expectations- she is honest

Martha was fantastic to work with throughout the entire planning process and the wedding day! In the months leading up to the wedding she was responsive, cordial, and our meetings were extremely productive. The day of the wedding she was constantly on the move helping with decoration, assisting / instructing vendors, and setting up the bride / groom's suite. Once guests arrived she was welcoming and professional while also managing the gift table and conducting crowd control with our DJ. Her exhaustive hard work relieved the bridal party and families of so much stress. We cannot recommend her enough!

Martha was the BEST addition to our wedding! She hung with us through the pandemic, as we downsized from 250, to 30. She made my day as the bride so easy. Once she had my ideas and my vendor list - she took care of EVERYTHING. She is professional, creative and will make your day the most stress-free, smooth event ever!

Working with Martha was without a doubt the best decision we made during the wedding planning process. If you are looking for a day-of wedding coordinator in the Madison area, she’s it!We planned our Madison wedding while living out of state, and Martha helped us make sure that every detail was attended to leading up to the wedding. When we arrived in Wisconsin, there was nothing left to do but enjoy time with family and friends. Martha arranged her schedule to meet us in person for coffee while I was home for a summer visit leading up to the wedding. She instantly put us at ease, asking thoughtful questions about our venue, special family members, and logistics of the ceremony. I thought I was fairly organized leading up to that point, but after our meeting I realized the benefits of working with a professional coordinator like Martha!Planning from afar was easy with her as she utilized Google docs for sharing purposes and emailed just to check in. It was evident throughout the entire process that Martha’s kind hearted personality would make for a wonderful wedding day experience. She contacted all of our vendors in the weeks leading up to the wedding and attended our rehearsal the night before the wedding. Our family and friends loved Martha as much as we did! She used her creative and organized talents to put together a beautiful space at our venue, and took care of small details -- from thank you cards for our vendors, to making sure our cards were delivered to our hotel room after dinner.With Martha’s help, our wedding was a day we’ll never forget. We cannot recommend her enough! My only regret is not hiring Martha sooner!

Martha was the perfect day of coordinator! She went above and beyond anything we expected and was so helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process. She met with us numerous times before the wedding to make sure that our questions were answered and to provide her expertise on various wedding logistics. Whenever things became stressful, Martha’s organization and professionalism helped keep us on track (and excited!) for the wedding.On the actual day of the wedding, Martha was a rock star. She was willing to step in wherever we needed her. She helped create some of my floral arrangements, coordinated all the different vendors, kept track of the schedule, and even helped decorate the wedding trellis. We also heard from many of our family members and guests how much they enjoyed their interactions with Martha.Overall, we cannot recommend Martha highly enough. She is a wonderful person, and any bride and groom would be lucky to have her!
