Planning + Design Package

This package is perfect for couples who want hands-on support with both logistics and design, without needing the full-service experience.

SIGNATURE DAY-OF COORDINATION

If you’ve handled the planning but want a professional team to execute it flawlessly, this service is for you. Our Day-of Coordination begins the moment you book, giving you access to expert guidance, timeline creation, vendor communication, and final detail review long before wedding week arrives. On the big day, we take over completely — managing vendors, overseeing décor, solving problems quietly behind the scenes, and ensuring everything runs smoothly. You’ve worked hard on your wedding; now you get to enjoy it stress-free.

Our Approach

The Bliss Standard


Elizabeth Bliss Events delivers a level of wedding planning support that goes far beyond industry standards. We intentionally limit the number of weddings we accept each year so every couple receives unmatched focus, personalized guidance, and a planning experience that never feels rushed or cookie-cutter. From unlimited meetings and full-access communication to 16–18 hours of dedicated wedding-day coverage, our team is with you for every decision, every detail, and every moment. We don’t believe in hourly caps, question limits, or weekend stacking — just wholehearted support from a team that truly cares. With deep vendor relationships across Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, and Des Moines, plus experience planning destination weddings nationwide, we give our couples a seamless, stress-free, and beautifully curated experience from start to finish.
