This spring, Blissful Events is turning the spotlight inward in the most joyful way possible.
On April 4th, Blissful’s founder Samar will be walking down the aisle herself, marrying her fiancé Courtney at the stunning Viansa Winery in Sonoma. After years of designing unforgettable celebrations for couples across wine country, Samar now gets to experience her own luxury wine country wedding. She is doing so with a carefully curated team of vendors she knows, trusts, and has worked alongside throughout her career as a Sonoma Wedding Planner.
To celebrate this full-circle moment, we are launching a blog series highlighting the incredible professionals bringing Samar and Courtney’s wedding vision to life. First up is the full service rental partner behind countless Blissful Events celebrations.
