Bliss Weddings and Events of Atlanta is a full-service event planning company founded by Elise Ann Woodward, an Atlanta native with over 15 years of experience and hundreds of events managed over the course of her career. The firm handles weddings, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, Quinceañeras, birthday parties, corporate launches, and gallery openings, serving clients across Atlanta and the broader metro area.
Core services span the complete event lifecycle: venue selection, vendor sourcing and management, budget development and oversight, contract review and negotiation, timeline creation, and day-of coordination. The firm also offers floral design services under its “Blooms by Bliss” brand, integrating florals into the overall event design rather than outsourcing to a separate vendor.
On the day of an event, the coordination team manages photographer scheduling, DJ playlist logistics, ceremony flow, and guest communication around timing. Post-event breakdown is also handled by the team. Woodward describes her firm’s value as giving clients both an advocate who secures competitive vendor pricing and a creative partner who guards against design incoherence and common planning pitfalls.
The firm offers planning at multiple levels of involvement, from full-service packages where Bliss manages the process from concept to closeout, to more targeted coordination support for clients who prefer to handle initial vendor bookings themselves.
Woodward traces her connection to the wedding industry through family: her maternal grandmother baked wedding cakes and her paternal grandmother custom-made wedding gowns. The company emphasizes building personal relationships with clients, describing connection to the couple’s or family’s vision as central to the firm’s process, whether the event is an intimate backyard celebration or a large corporate gala.
