    Wish I could give more than 5 stars!

    I got engaged September 2025. I was beyond excited and started planning. I knew it would be small but we picked April 2026, which didn’t leave much time to plan. So I dove in! And drowned. Immediately. And I was about to give up, until I saw Backyard Bliss come across my instagram. It was like the universe knew who just to throw in my path! Erica was kind, professional, THOROUGH, and made our day come to life before our eyes. She truly cares about walking you through the entire process. Every meeting we talked about each item we planned and after each call, she would let me know what we talked about and what was next. She constantly stated in touch with me and came up with ideas and alternative ideas just in case! If I could find what I wanted, she did. If I couldn’t picture it, she made me a visual. For every problem she had an answer. My entire wedding party, officiant, and caterer raved about Erica! They loved that she walked them through every step of the day. Not only by making herself available on the phone, but by her fun detailed documents created for each job/person. They felt fully supported, which meant a lot since it was a first for a lot of them. Ultimately, our day was so special and it’s all thanks to Erica with Backyard Bliss. I would choose her for every party, wedding, or special occasion. We cannot thank her enough for all her love, hard work, and dedication she poured into our wedding. We couldn’t have had a better day to start our forever. THANK YOU ERICA!

    Reading this brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for taking the time to share such kind words. From the moment we connected, I knew your wedding was going to be something special. I loved dreaming alongside you, brainstorming ideas, finding solutions, creating backup plans for the backup plans, and watching everything come together piece by piece. One of my greatest joys is helping couples feel supported and confident throughout the planning process, so hearing that you, your wedding party, and your vendors felt prepared and cared for means the world to me. Thank you for trusting me with such an important chapter in your lives. Watching your day unfold and seeing the joy, love, and excitement surrounding the two of you was something I'll never forget. I am so grateful our paths crossed, and I wish you both a lifetime of happiness, adventure, and beautiful memories together. Thank you for letting me be part of your story. 🤍✨

    A Vendors Perspective

    I had the absolute pleasure of photographing a backyard bliss wedding and the details and execution were *chefs kiss*. Leading up to wedding day everything I needed to know in terms of locations, logistics, and timing was well communicated and that organization and attention to detail truly showed on wedding day. The decor and set up were beautiful. As a vendor I’ve noticed that sometimes backyard weddings can lack a certain flow you find at traditional venues but not with Backyard Bliss. Every detail, including guest spaces, how they seamless flow together, and the order of events was so well planned and the design was gorgeous- I forgot I was even in a backyard!! 10/10 would recommend backyard bliss weddings always!

    Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful review! As someone who spends so many weekends behind the lens at weddings, your words mean the world to me. One of my biggest goals is to create backyard celebrations that feel intentional, seamless, and elevated while still maintaining the warmth and intimacy that make them so special. The fact that you felt supported leading up to the wedding day and that the flow, logistics, and design stood out to you is such a wonderful compliment. And honestly, "I forgot I was even in a backyard" may be one of my favorite things anyone has ever said about my work. 🥹 It was such a pleasure working alongside you, and I'm so grateful for your kind words and recommendation. I hope our paths cross again soon at another beautiful celebration! 🤍

    Erica! You were a calming presence in planning our daughter’s intimate back yard wedding. In such a tight timeframe you helped create and execute a beautiful event for our family. Thank you so much, we are very grateful for your care and professionalism and your attention to detail is a gift!

    Erica-Lee GarciaJun 15, 2026

    Thank you so much. It was such a joy to help bring your daughter's wedding day to life and to work alongside such a wonderful family. From the very beginning, it was clear how much love surrounded this celebration, and I feel incredibly grateful that you trusted me to help guide the process. Seeing everyone together, celebrating and making memories, made all the planning worth it. Your kind words mean more than you know. Thank you for your trust, your warmth, and for allowing me to be part of such a special day. 🤍

    The Happiest Bride

    Erica planned such a simple, yet elegant wedding for us that surpassed our expectations. Everything was meticulously thought out, and the final result was bliss. Working with her was a dream!

    Thank you so much! Your wedding was such a beautiful reminder that you don't need over-the-top details to create something truly special. Every piece came together so naturally, and seeing it all come to life was incredibly rewarding. It was such a joy getting to know you both and helping bring your vision to life. Thank you for trusting me with such an important day and for being an absolute dream to work with. Wishing you both all the love and happiness in the world! ✨

On the big day, you can expect me there from set up to break down, there with you every step of the way! Before that, we’ll spend plenty of time together in our planning meetings to fine-tune every detail and make sure your day is absolutely perfect — and yes, I’ll be right there with you for the rehearsal, too!
I do not, currently our team is small and in order to give each couple the attention they deserve, I can only accommodate one wedding per weekend!
You bet! Backyard Bliss isn’t just for weddings — we love designing showers, rehearsal dinners, and cozy gatherings that bring your people (and the party) together. 🎉
While backyard and outdoor celebrations are our specialty, we also work with traditional venues that share that same intimate, personalized feel. Our focus is creating events that feel genuine, relaxed, and full of character — whether they’re under a tent in your own backyard or beneath chandeliers in a cozy venue.
