Everyone needs a Korie in their corner!

Charming, fun, and highly-professional, Korie and her team at Bliss Events are the ULTIMATE ASSET every couple needs to have in their wedding arsenal.

Korie provided everything from ideas, vendor recommendations, strategy and organizing docs, and day-of support to make me and my wife's wedding day a literal dream come true.

If you're reading this, I would highly recommend Korie and Bliss Events to anyone - my family, my friends, my mailman, people walking by on the street, etc. - getting married in the San Diego area.

WE LOVE KORIE (See the pic below).

Korie at Bliss is the Best - L'Auberge Del Mar Wedding

Korie at Bliss was my planner for my July 2023 wedding at L'Auberge Del Mar, and she was a DREAM! I had actually anticipated that something would go wrong the day of the wedding, only because that's what I had been told by my friends and family who had been married, was that something inevitably goes wrong on your wedding day.

I really didn't need to worry about it though, because Korie and her team have this thing locked down. Truly, not one thing went wrong. Every vendor she recommended was fabulous- especially Sharon at Organic Elements, DJ Jimmy Grizzley, Raphael's Party Rental Lounge Furniture, Ritas Chiavari white aisle runner, and all of her wonderful assistants.

I trusted Korie to make certain judgement calls about the wedding knowing that she is a pro at this, and I am so glad I did. She truly knows how to make the day run smoothly and she will make everything happen according to plan. My husband and I couldn't have imagined a more perfect day. Thank you Korie and Bliss, we will never forget you!

Team

Rachel Welland
Rachel Welland
Owner + Coordinator

What began as a hobby organizing her 4th grade pajama party, has transformed into a passionate career of design and leadership in San Diego’s wedding and event coordination industry. Rachel’s stunning and relevant work with a diverse clientele has made her one of the most sought-after wedding artists in the county. Anyone who meets Rachel knows that her limitless energy, creativity, and mastery of time management are the icing on the cake of her flawless event designs.

Rachel’s Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design adds a whole new dimension to her event design process, exceeding her clients’ visions with unique style and creativity. Rachel has also gained a valuable behind-the-scenes perspective of the industry while working at the prestigious L’Auberge Del Mar Resort and Spa.

When Rachel has a [rare!] free Saturday, she can be spotted with her family, enjoying beautiful San Diego at a tasty brunch, the beach, or a museum. One thing, out of so many, that her husband loves most about her, is the value she places on family. Rachel is fully committed to the people she loves and the memorable moments she is creating at Bliss Events.

Korie Younger
Korie Younger
Coordinator

Korie unknowingly started her event planning career while organizing birthday parties as a child. Lucky for her young friends, she didn’t start charging for her standout services until her college job in the events department at Sea World. Korie then joined Westfield Malls where she planned a wide variety of events and has since found her passion for organizing social celebrations, one-of-a-kind weddings, and corporate gatherings.

Korie has always put 100% of her positive and energetic self into her work, and it speaks for itself. She treats each wedding like it’s her own, making her clients feel comfortable, trusted, and heard every step of the way. Korie loves traditions, but also loves finding original ways to showcase her clients’ personalities. She takes pride in establishing long-lasting relationships with her clients and seeing their families grow.

When it comes to enjoying her happy place outside of the wedding world, Korie likes taking her kids and dog to the beach. Seeing them smile and play, along with the peace of the ocean, brings her endless happiness.

Korie feels proud to work alongside an amazing group of creative professionals who all care about their clients; from the first meeting, to “I do”, and honored to have a role in such an impactful life event.

Ashley Babiarz
Ashley Babiarz
Coordinator

For Ashley, discovering event planning was like an artist finding her medium. Everything about it felt right! Her creativity and organizational skills took her from planning high school spirit days and conferences, to Social Chair and President of her sorority at UCLA. Ashley later secured a professional role in Operations, handling budgets, negotiating contracts, and engaging with a variety of clients. After working with Bliss Events to plan her own wedding in 2010, she couldn’t resist joining the team herself.

Ashley doubles as the master of logistics and loves fitting all of the event details together like an elaborate puzzle. One of her favorite moments of the coordination process is meeting a couple for the first time and witnessing their giddy-in-love joy. Ashley feels honored to organize a day where her clients’ guests get to experience the entirety of their love.

When Ashley isn’t working her wedding magic, she is enjoying breakfast burritos and coffee, hanging at the beach with her husband and sons, and barbequing at home with family and friends. The love Ashley’s family has for her, like a great event, is the culmination of many little things that add up to something extraordinary.
