Love Notes

"Lauren was amazing in every way!!! She was so helpful before the wedding, but on rehearsal and wedding day, she was irreplaceable! At first, I didn't know what a wedding planner would even do, but all the little, behind the scenes things she did to make my sons wedding an amazing day were awesome. She kept everyone calm. Always had an answer for every question!!! I cannot recommend her enough!!!"

TERESA F.
"Thanks to Lauren's incredible dedication and expertise, our wedding day was an absolute dream come true. We were able to savor every moment, from getting ready to walking down the aisle, knowing that Lauren had it all in hand. Her calming, positive presence and ability to handle any situation allowed us to be fully present and enjoy our day to the fullest. If you're looking for an Iowa wedding planner, Elizabeth Bliss Events should be your go to!"

ASHLEY E.
"The best decision we could have made for our wedding planning/coordinating needs. I work long hours and I am not the most creative person; so I knew I needed a lot of help with pulling off the wedding I had always envisioned. We would not have had our fairytale wedding without Lauren’s help. She checked in at every step to ensure things were getting planned, ordered, etc on time. Gave us ideas on vendors, decor, color schemes, and whatever else we needed. On the actual wedding day she did EVERYTHING. There was zero stress the entire day, she dealt with everything- all the guests, vendors, moving around decor or desserts, to ensuring every flower was in place, to navigating the little glitches and questions along the way- she did it all. Truly so lucky we found her to help us turn our dreams into an everlasting memory."

SARAH Q.
"You know you have an awesome Day of Coordinator, when your whole Bridal party and more than a handful of guests mentioned to us what an outstanding job she did. If you are planning a wedding, don't hesitate to hire Lauren!! You will not be disappointed, and quite the opposite you will be blown away!!"

TRINA E.
"Lauren was absolutely incredible!!! She made our wedding day flawless and went way above and beyond what I personally even thought would be done. She kept us on schedule the rehearsal day and wedding day as well. I appreciate you so much, Lauren!!"

KODY F.
"Truly the BEST wedding planner!!! Details that she thinks of are astonishing. She takes control without hesitation at the exact moment needed and you’re assured the perfection you desire. Literally THE ONLY person/ company I would recommend. If you need a wedding planner in the Des Moines area, she is your girl!"

LAURA S.
"Lauren and her team were so helpful leading up to the big day and throughout the entire weekend! She helped us find and pick out vendors that were all so amazing and made me feel way less stressed about everything! Lauren did a great job making our wedding day run smoothly and helped prevent any big hiccups from happening! Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a wedding planner!"

KELSEY M.
"There aren’t enough positive words I could say about Lauren and her girls!!! They made our day run smoother than I could’ve ever imagined; not a single detail was missed or out of place. Her behind the scenes work is the star of the show because she made the big big things I was worried about (set up/tear down) happen without me even knowing! Just an absolute all star team. I am eternally grateful for her work and so thankful I found her. You will NOT regret having her for your big day!!! Much love Lauren🫶🏼"

TORI E.
"Mercedes was outstanding. She calmed my nerves and really had a handle on things so that I didn’t have to worry about a thing. She made sure myself, my husband, our bridal party and guests were all taken care of. If you’re looking for a planner that not only comes with experience but with kindness, patience, and enthusiasm, Mercedes is your girl! So glad we got to work with her for our big day!"

MARINA K.
"We hired Lauren for day-of- coordination services and she went above and beyond for our day!!! We could not be more impressed with her organization and constant check-ins throughout our wedding planning process. She coordinated monthly zoom calls for wedding planning updates and was always so helpful when it came to recommendations that we needed to make our day run as smooth as possible. The bride and groom are constantly her priority and we are so glad we hired her!!!! Lauren, you’re an absolute gem!!!"

CRYSTAL M.
"Lauren was my wedding planner and she was absolutely amazing. I couldn’t have imagined my wedding day without her. She helped me find vendors, she made my timeline, she coordinated with my vendors, and she made the day run so smoothly. Also, she decorated the venue so I could relax the day before my wedding. It was a dream to work with Lauren. Mercedes helped out on the day of my wedding and Lauren and Mercedes are a great team. Mercedes helped keep everything on time during the reception and she made sure my husband and I were well taken care of. I would absolutely hire Elizabeth Bliss Events again in a heart beat."
