Who
we are

At Backyard Bliss Weddings, we believe the most magical weddings aren’t defined by grand ballrooms—they’re created in the places that already feel like home. Whether it’s beneath your favorite tree, across your family lawn, or in a cozy venue, we transform ordinary spaces into extraordinary celebrations.

Our Approach

Backyard and micro weddings have big heart—and unique logistics. Our flexible packages meet you where you are: from curated checklists and trusted vendor connections to full backyard transformations. We blend thoughtful planning with calm, on-site coordination so your celebration feels personal, beautiful, and easy.

Why Couples Love Us

  • We feel so lucky to have had not just a friend, but the friend who made our wedding day unforgettable. From the start, Erica was right there with us—listening, calming our nerves, and somehow always knowing what we needed. Her communication and organization were incredible. She kept everything on track and made it all feel effortless. And the décor—just wow. She turned the space into something out of a dream, and every detail felt perfectly us. We’ll never stop being grateful for the time, care, and heart she poured into our day.

    Bride, Amanda

  • 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!

    Groom, Brian

  • From our first consultation, I knew we were in good hands. Erica was calm, attentive, and truly listened to what my daughter wanted. She brought her vision to life so beautifully—it felt like stepping into a dream. Every detail showed her thoughtfulness and passion. She made the entire process feel easy and enjoyable, and I’ll always be thankful for the love and care she put into making their day so special.

Why I Started Backyard Bliss
Backyard Bliss grew from planning my own DIY backyard wedding. What began as a personal passion became coordinating weddings and celebrations for friends and family. Like the willow saplings in my yard, this business took root—grounded in creativity, care, and a love for making unforgettable moments at home.

When I’m not planning events, I’m curled up with my cats and a good book, watching classic horror (with a little romance), or diving into a new DIY project that turns ordinary spaces into something magical.
