Dear Rachel,
Thank you so very much for all of your hard work on our special day. I honestly don’t know how we could have pulled off everything without you. I know I was too much of a mess to handle anything! Thank you especially for coming all the way back to give us Michael’s car keys! I’ll make sure to post a glowing review on theknot.com!
All the best, Michelle & Michael Wolfson
Sam,
Thanks for everything Sam!!! You were awesome :)

I just wanted to let you know that the wedding on Saturday could not have happened if it weren't for Rachel and her team... She had lots to deal with from broken zippers, schedule changes and rain for this outside wedding... She kept everyone on track in order to keep things running.... She was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her.

Sam, What can we say but thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you for listening, offering your advice, taking charge and of course, being patient with all our changes. I can definitely say having the Bliss by Sam team was well worth the money.

The following letter is one of recommendation for Ali Bamberger. Ali was the consultant for my October 31st, 2009 wedding. Words cannot quite express how grateful we are for the wonderful job that she did. My parents and I were so nervous that things were not going to go as we had planned them. My parents also wanted to be able to enjoy the day and not have to "run the show," so to speak. Ali allowed them to relax and have fun. As for me, I don't know what I would have done without her. From the rehearsal at the church, the ceremony the next morning, and then the reception, Ali made sure the wedding party and family members were always where they needed to be.
I very much believe that if it wasn't for her organization, ingenuity, and perfectionism our wedding would not have run as smoothly as it did. She made sure that my husband-to-be and his groomsmen were dressed and picked up on time. She also made sure they had their boutonnieres (and that they were pinned on correctly). When I had issues bustling my dress, her, Samantha Dockery, and Rachel Hamm swooped in to rescue me! Furthermore, Ali made sure my husband and I were the first to be served food at our reception. She knew that if I didn't eat then, it would not happen at all that night. By the way, that was great advice! I don't know when I would have had time to sit down and enjoy our delicious entrees!
Our friends and family have made numerous comments about how organized and well planned the entire event was. Ali not only made herself accessible to our family and the wedding party, but she was also there to aide our guests in any way possible. As far as I'm concerned, she surpassed any expectations that any bride could ever have. This helped to make my day the most memorable ever.
The week before I got married, my boss gave me some great advice. She told me to be sure to take it all in. She said that when I got to the end of the aisle, to take a moment to look around at everyone that was there because they were all there for my husband and I. She also said that all of those people would probably never be in the same room again, but they were going to be on that day because of how important my husband and I were to them. Thanks to Ali Bamberger, I was able to relax, take a deep breath, take it all in, and enjoy the best day ever!
I would, without at doubt, recommend Ali Bamberger to anyone who needs their day perfectly planned!

Dear Sam,
Thank you so much for all the hard work and effort in making Jenny's wedding a perfect day. All your people were outstanding.
Mrs. Reckleff, Mother of the Bride
Bliss By Sam was tremendous. The amount of work and attention you all put into the wedding was truly amazing. Given that we only retained your team for day-of services, the value we received from your services was incalculable. Everyone on your staff was helpful, went above and beyond, and did so without question. The fact that we had your principal staff on hand as well was not only flattering, but impressive. We knew without a doubt that you all would ensure this wedding would be as perfect as you could make it.
Kara & Greg
Samantha, you really went above and beyond. We would like to thank you and your tram for everything! Our wedding day was truly a dream come true!

Your attention to detail, organization skills, punctuality and professionalism allowed our day to flow seamlessly from beginning to end. Thanks again for everything! You guys are the BEST!
Mechele & Kurtis Stewart
Thank you so much for all of your amazing help in the planning and realization of our wedding. Eric and I truly feel like our wedding our wedding exceeded our expectations. Despite the cool weather, the wedding was so warm, meaningful and fun! On our honeymoon in Napa, we mentioned many times how wonderful you and the rest of the Bliss crew were and how smoothly the evening went (seemingly effortless!). We know a lot of your effort went into keeping it so smooth And kudos again to you kicking out the wedding crashers! Again, thank you so much for your hard work and your lovely manner - we are certainly glad that you were part of our day!

"Winfrey and I want to thank you so much for everything you did for us to make our day that much more special. You are wonderful and we would recommend you to any of our 'unmarried' yet friends"
Mr. & Mrs. Winfrey Hill
Bliss by Sam Staff (especially Rachel), Thank you so much for all your help in planning our wedding. I can't imagine doing this without you guys. I think I would have totally lost my mind. Rachel has been absolutely amazing in her planning and attention to detail. Thanks again, I have enjoyed it so much!
Leslie & Chad Myers
I have been waiting for these two to tie the knot for a little bit. I knew that Mechele and Kurtis would have a fabulous wedding and they far surpassed my vision. I had my friend Evan Pike as the guest photographer working with the guys while I was with the ladies and he rocked it out. This was the first wedding that I have ever worked with Sam from blissbysam and I must say that she was so awesome, I have never had a wedding that was so darn on time for everything. Thank you for keeping us all sane Sam and your team of ladies.

"Bliss By Sam is truly "blissful." As a photographer on wedding day, gathering and guiding people in the right direction for photographs can be half the challenge of the day. Samantha and her team do an amazing job at keeping it the flow of the day going. The help of her team, truly does make my job easier, and can make a tremendous impact on the creativity and flexibility I have on wedding day. With Bliss By Sam by my side, I am able to capture photographs that are Blissfully and Remarkably Stunning!"

"As a wedding officiant I notice so many brides get overwhelmed trying to do all the wedding planning themselves while working a full time job. Planning your wedding is like a full time job too! I urge my brides to hire a wedding planner to take the stress off and enjoy the process of getting married and their wedding day. Samantha is one of the best wedding planners around. She is very professional, organized and pays attention to every little detail to make your wedding day flow flawlessly from behind the scenes. Not only is she very capable, she has a great sense of humor, is fun to be with and keeps the mood light for this intense time. When I see that Samantha is part of the wedding team, I can relax." - Kayelily
