Blissfully Simple Events

18/04/2024

It has been a wonderful 25 years, and now I am on to my next adventure!

Today, I close the doors to any new events. I look forward to completing our last weddings with just as much love and attention to details as I did when I started this business.

I am so grateful to all of our incredible clients and their families for trusting us with their special moments. You all became family, and I am honored to have served you through the past 25 years. Thank you for your support, encouragement, and referrals. Without you - there would be no Blissfully Simple Events.

To all of the incredible event professionals we have worked with, learned with, stood in stunned amazement with, and come to love - thank you. It has been a pleasure.

Finally, I want to thank my Bliss Team. You have laughed with me, cried with me, and allowed me to be your fearless leader. For that, you deserve more than I can ever give. Thank you for believing in my crazy ideas and for always making my company look goooood :0). I'm excited to see what you all do in the future because I will be right there cheering you on.

I hold thousands of memories in my heart as I take my first steps on my new journey. While the road here has not always been so "blissfully simple," it has always been paved with incredible experiences that I will never forget. Thank you!

Here's to Bliss,

Now THIS is a trend we can get behind!

❤️ ANNOUNCING!!!!. Huge launch coming soon! ❤️

For 25 years, we have been honored to serve couples all over the country, (most specifically central Indiana) and we are so grateful. 💍

I started this company with 4 children under 3 years old, in my home, and completely self-taught.

As the years went by, I learned more, created the Bliss Method of wedding planning, and added even more kids. 😆 How this business survived 2008, COVID, and all my pregnancies - I have no idea 🤷‍♀️.

But survive we did, and we THRIVED.

Now, it's 2024 and I am so proud that Blissfully Simple Events has grown to a team of 10 well-trained, very experienced, women who are funny as hell. 🥰.

After doing thousands of events, and being the only professional wedding planning service in the area, we have a unique perspective. The most important trend we have noticed is the desire (and need) for exceptional planning and coordination services without the insane price tag. 💸

And we listened. 👌🏻

In the next few weeks we will be revealing our new:
- Website
- Logo
- Simplified booking process
- & our brand new behind-the-scenes series: "Adventures of a wedding planner"

We are stoked. 🌟

If you are engaged or know someone who is getting married - check us out. We have a combined 40 years of experience, have extensive networks with expert event professionals all over the state, and do this as a profession - not a hobby. 💍👰🏻🤵‍♂️

We will make your wedding planning experience, Blissfully Simple. ❤️

Please share!!

One of the coolest parts of doing events is the amazing amount of wonderful people you meet. I'm so happy for the Kirchner's! 🌟

2 brothers, fathers to 2 of my most beautiful Brides, and successful family business owners. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Congratulations! We at Blissfully Simple are absolutely thrilled for you! ❤️

Quote for the day from today's pastor - Uncle Bob:

"Marriage is hard. The key is to never say the word divorce. Murder is ok, but not divorce."😆😆😆😆

DO. NOT. DO. THIS.

EVER. 😡🤬🤯

I know it's some strange tradition, but thankfully it has never happened to me... I'm talking about people shoving someones face in a cake. Maybe that will make people think I am not fun, or

We don't often get Bluegrass bands at weddings, but when we do - they rock ❤️.

Congrats to today's Blissfully Simple Couple, Mr. And Mrs. Mundt!!!
