About Wedding Day Bliss with Lyss

Wedding Day Bliss with Lyss

Owner/Wedding Planner

I'm Alyssa, and I'm so glad you found your way here. My love for the wedding industry began in 2021 when I had the privilege of planning my own wedding. From that experience, I discovered my passion for all the details—big and small—that make a wedding day truly special. Whether it's helping you choose the perfect venue, picking the best caterer, or working with a florist to bring your vision to life, I’m here for it all.

It’s the little things that really excite me —like making sure your bridesmaids are holding their bouquets at the perfect height before walking down the aisle, carrying mints around for you at all times, and keeping my trusty day-of-emergency bag stocked for when things inevitably go awry (and trust me, they will). My goal is that you won’t even notice when things go off track—because I’m already on it! Wedding planning doesn’t have to be stressful, but I know it can be. I’m here to take the pressure off you, your family, and your bridal party so that you can focus on what really matters: celebrating every moment of your special day.

In three words: Flexible, Organized, Reassuring

    Wedding Day Coordination

    Hiring Alyssa and her team was hands down one of the best decisions I made for my wedding! From the very beginning, Alyssa was organized, professional, and super communicative. We met once a month leading up to the wedding to make sure all the details were getting figured out. She kept everything running smoothly and made the entire planning process so much less stressful. She helped create a timeline for the day of, helped coordinate details between vendors, and made a binder with all the wedding day details. On the wedding day we were able to relax, be present, and truly enjoy every moment. Overall, working with Alyssa was the best and we cannot recommend her and her team enough!

    Can’t recommend enough!!

    From the very first phone call I knew we needed to work with Alyssa! It was easily one of the best decisions we made! She is so thorough and made the planning process and the wedding day so stress-free. Her and Karly were so helpful and I can’t imagine not having them there. It allowed my husband and I to enjoy our day and I truly cannot recommend enough! Alyssa also offering rentals was amazing and really helped us to not have to stress about buying so many things! Alyssa goes above and beyond for her clients and we absolutely loved working with her!

I'm so happy you felt like you could actually relax and enjoy the day - that's always my biggest goal! I'm so glad the rentals made things easier too! Anything that means less stress and fewer things to buy is a win in my book. 😊 Thank you again for trusting me and Karly with such a special day.

    Alyssa was a pivotal piece of our wedding!

    Alyssa was a pivotal piece of our wedding! In general, we debated about having a day-of-coordinator or not, but in the end we are 100% happy with our decision to have one. We wanted someone to take care of the small details and errand running the day of our wedding and Alyssa and her team went above and beyond to take care of that for us. Leading up to our wedding day, she was available for monthly calls to help us get on the right track with planning. She helped put together our timeline and a binder with all necessary information for the day of. During the wedding day, she was a buffer between us and anything that went wrong. We never even knew something happened, she just handled it and found a solution! I would recommend hiring Alyssa!
