Frequently Asked Questions

  • Many couples assume their Maid of Honor, bridesmaids, parents, or planner will be available to handle every little detail throughout the wedding day. In reality, these are the people you want enjoying the celebration alongside you.

    Just as importantly, having a Bridal Director allows your Maid of Honor, bridal party, and parents to be present as your loved ones rather than your support staff worrying about timelines, fixing dresses, tracking down vendors, or solving last-minute problems. Instead they can relax, celebrate, and make memories with you.

  • We know there are lots of options for wedding support, so here are some of the other team members that are sometimes a part of wedding day, and how Brideside Bliss is different!

    Wedding Planner

    A Wedding Planner is involved throughout the entire planning process, often beginning months or even years before the wedding day. They assist with budgeting, vendor selection, contract review, design concepts, timeline creation, and overall event management from start to finish.

    Day-Of Coordinator/ Event Coordinator

    A Day-Of Coordinator focuses on executing the plans you've already made on the logistics side of the day. Depending on the venue or company, their responsibilities may include coordinating vendors, managing timelines, overseeing setup and breakdown. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, they review your details, and confirm logistics with vendors. This coordinator may not be able to be with you during the moments you need an extra hand carrying the dress, grabbing a tissue, and meeting every need. Their role is typically focused on the event itself rather than the personal needs of the couple.

    Bridal Director (That’s us!)

    A Bridal Director is dedicated specifically to the bride's personal needs and support throughout the wedding day. In the months & weeks leading up, we will ask for details about the wedding to help orient the day of plans and timeline. While planners and coordinators manage the event, a Bridal Director focuses on the bride by assisting with getting ready, bustling the dress, carrying personal items, handling touch-ups, keeping the bride hydrated and fed, managing emergency situations, coordinating personal details, and ensuring the bride can fully enjoy her day without stress!

  • Our plans can be customized to an extent, so we do offer options for those who are not doing a first look. Please inquire using the form on the “contact” page!

  • You can fill out our form on the “contact” page, or email events@bridesidebliss.com to ensure we have the date open for your wedding day. Once we confirm with you the date is available and have received a signed copy of the Policy Acknowledgment as well as the Services Contract, we will accept a deposit of $150 to reserve your date while you continue planning the big day. If you need a refund, please make sure you reach out not later than 15 days from the date of payment to receive 50% of the deposit back. After 15 days the deposit becomes non-negotiable and nonrefundable. 

  • Having a date set is the most important part of starting the process to having your bridal bestie guaranteed to be at your wedding! We cannot hold multiple dates, so please do have a date set in order to place your deposit and other necessary supporting documents. You do not need to know which package you want at the time of booking, we will require a confirmed decision of the package you choose by a minimum of two months (60 days) before the wedding date, and will reflect this as an addendum in the initial services contract.

  • If you would like to upgrade your package on the day of the wedding, it will be an additional cost per hour you add on to your original package. If you are unsure if you would like to upgrade now or later, now would be the best time!

  • Brideside Bliss service packages begin at the wedding venue and does not include travel to a separate getting ready location in our premier, platinum and VIP packages. Our focus is ensuring everything is prepared and ready for your arrival at the venue so you can transition seamlessly into the next part of your day.

    There is an optional add on, where Brideside Bliss will go to the getting ready location before the venue for an additional cost if you would like additional getting ready help the morning of!

    Both the Platinum and Premier packages include the option for us to arrive before the bride at the venue, allowing us to set up personal items, organize your bridal suite, prepare refreshments, coordinate details of the bride’s needs, and ensure everything is in place before you arrive.

  • The Hereos discount is reserved for Brides and Grooms that are First Responders and Military Personnel with valid ID. Growing up surrounded by first responders, and being heavily involved with organizations that give back to Military members, those who put others before themselves and risk their lives hold a near and dear place in my heart!
