The Blissful Elite Weddings and Events -

Catherine Hawkins (Cat)

We cannot thank Kandes enough for her exceptional support and professionalism throughout our wedding planning.
From meticulously crafting the timeline to helping with setup, her attention to detail and efficiency were unmatched. She was always quick to respond to our questions, making the entire process seamless.
She always advocated for what we wanted, and validated each decision we made during the process-and we are so thankful for that!
Kandes played a crucial role in making our wedding day perfect, and we are incredibly grateful for her kindness, dedication, and expertise.

Kandes was so helpful leading up to and on the day of the wedding. We hired her as a day-of-coordinator, and I'm so glad we did. Ahead of time, she flagged things about our plan that we should iron out or reconsider. She was extremely responsive to emails, which was alway reassuring. On the wedding day, our venue made some mistakes which she handled in stride so that my husband and I didn't have to worry about it. Just being able to trust that she would take care of it allowed us to actually focus on the experience so that we could fully be present and remember the day. Multiple guests mentioned her to us later as being helpful and kind!

Kandes made our wedding stress-free and seamless from start to finish! After months of indecision, my husband and I opted for a micro-wedding, and found Kandes through WeddingWire. We hit it off and found her knowledge and advice on the small details to be more helpful than we could've imagined. Kandes provided inspiration ideas for details that we had overlooked, but made the biggest difference in making the day special and beautiful. She was also helpful at finding vendors local to our venue, and they all truly living up to her praise!

We cannot recommend Kandes enough! My husband and I hired Kandes to coordinate our wedding rehearsal and wedding day in October 2023 and she was the absolute perfect person for the job. She was professional and kind, and allowed us to enjoy our wedding day to the fullest!

Kandes was so helpful throughout the lead-up to the event, and while our rehearsal night was the first time we met her in person, she knew exactly what we wanted and how to make that vision come to life. Not everything went according to plan on the morning of our wedding day, but she kept us calm and made sure that we were able to get back on schedule and that everything ran smoothly as soon as we got to the venue. Her problem solving and people management skills were spectacular! A side perk is that she helped keep the party going all night!

Kandes' expertise was greatly appreciated and I can't imagine what things would have been like without her! I would give her 10+ stars if I could <3

Kandes was a blessing to have during the wedding planning process and our wedding day! We hired Kandes with less than two months to go before our wedding day after our venue was sold and we experienced issues with the new owners. I remember when I first spoke to her over the phone, she was so kind and listened to all of my frustrations. She validated my worries and gave us reassurance that we could figure this out together. The wedding industry often has their business interests in mind and not those of the bride/groom. I just needed someone to back me up and be on my side, and Kandes was exactly that! She was a friend and a huge support during the process! Kandes attended our planning meetings with the venue’s on-site coordinator in person and on zoom. When I met Kandes for the first time in person, she presented herself professionally both in dress and in her mannerisms. Anytime I needed Kandes, she was a text away and always so caring! As for the wedding day, Kandes ran everything smoothly!! Again, she showed up in professional attire, with a clipboard ready to go, and a bag of necessities. There wasn’t a moment that I felt that family or friends needed to step in, which was my whole goal. I wanted my family and bridal party to feel as guests and not as workers. I never wanted them to miss a special moment in the day. Kandes was always one step ahead and kept me informed if needed throughout the day! I know that anyone who hires Kandes will find her to be a blessing in their wedding planning process, and I am thankful for my decision to hire her!

Kandes was our day-of coordinator and I'm so glad she was a part of our wedding day! She did a great job getting to know us as a couple, our wants and wishes, the feel of our wedding day, and our schedule. Since she knew everything from our big picture to specific details on our checklist, I felt like I could just relax and enjoy my wedding day, knowing Kandes was taking care of whatever last minute decisions came up! Everything ran incredibly smoothly and I was able to leave at the end of the night knowing everything was taken care of.

She also helped me book our hair & make-up vendor a month out from the wedding day, which was above and beyond. Cannot recommend her enough. Thank you!!
