{Bliss Events & Weddings}


Meet Alicia - (and her beautiful family)...!

{We always love to work with Alicia and the Bliss crew!  A "Bliss wedding" at Rustic Oaks is a lovely-lovely combination!!  Brides & grooms - if you're looking for a truly full service planner/decorator/coordinator... contact Bliss!  (They do free consults!) :)  Lastly, I have to talk a little about Alicia: She is a beautiful person, inside and out - who loves her family and loves weddings!  She's an incredibly hard worker and a joy to work with; she goes above and beyond for clients - and leads the Bliss crew by example.  We look forward to many more Bliss weddings at Rustic Oaks!}     


















*A little about me...I was born in Grand Forks, and grew up in the Twin Cities but moved to a farm South of Moorhead when I was 12. I used to play at the Rustic Oaks property when I was a kid! Now I am married and live in South Fargo. We have two fabulous little boys named Ryder and Maddox and an Old English Bulldog named Darby. When I am not planning weddings I love to entertain at my house and travel; I also love playing outdoor sports and hunting.

*A little about my business...Bliss is a full-service wedding and event planning and decorating company. Our goal is take the stress off of our clients and make their event everything they imagined it would be. We offer a full line of rental décor ranging from vintage props and linens to the most modern décor. We are constantly educating ourselves on the latest trends in décor and event styling and are always adding new “toys” to our inventory. We love surprising our clients with new pieces!

*My typical clientele...We work with the best clients! Our clients come to us in all stages of planning and with all different personalities and styles – just like our weddings!  We like to sit down with each of our clients and get to know their needs to ensure we are a good fit them. Then we figure out what services best meet their plans and budgets. You don’t have to spend a fortune to have a beautiful and relaxing event!

*What sets me apart from my competition...Bliss is a full team of smiling, know-how-to-do-it, extraordinary people. We take time to get to know our clients and focus on their pain points so they don’t have to. We also keep our team updated on what tends are popular and how we can use them in our events.

*A current wedding trend that I'm loving...Separation of spaces! I love being able to create unique settings inside of one room – lounges, bars, dance space, dinner space – all can be separated but together - making the event more of an experience!

*My experience(s) working at Rustic Oaks...Oh how I love thee Rustic Oaks! Whether I am dangling from the barn rafters or hanging a chandelier in one of the big trees I can always expect the smiling faces of Anne, David or Emily to greet me, ask what I am doing (because generally it needs some kind of explanation!) and make me and team feel welcome. No other venue in town offers the level of personal customer service that the Rustic Oaks team provides.  It is always a pleasure to work at the venue and with the RO crew!

*What I can offer Rustic Oaks brides & grooms (and other special events clients)...An event filled with special touches! Bliss takes great pride in coming up with new concepts and ideas and then finding the best way to implement them with the beautiful landscape at Rustic Oaks.

*The best way to see more of my work/learn more about my business...Check out our website or Facebook page! Or better yet, give us a call for a free consultation and we’ll tell you everything you want to know!
