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 Bliss Weddings was born from a belief:
that the most meaningful celebrations happen close to home —
in spaces alive with memory, family, and nature.

We plan weddings where the atmosphere wraps around you,
where guests feel like participants, not spectators,
and where every detail carries intention.

Whether you’re blending cultures, hosting a full wedding weekend,
or inviting your closest loved ones into an intimate backyard celebration —
your story becomes the heart of everything we design.

Our approach is grounded, soulful, and collaborative.
You bring your vision, your traditions, your emotional landscape.
We bring the planning, design, and calm expertise
to help it all unfold effortlessly.

You deserve a wedding that feels like a lived experience —
not a production.

And that’s exactly what we create.

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 began with my own backyard wedding — a day built on DIY projects, creativity, and the magic of turning a familiar space into something unforgettable. What started as one celebration quickly blossomed into helping friends, family, and now couples all across the Hudson Valley bring their visions to life.

I believe weddings should feel like home — warm, alive, and rooted in meaning.
Not rushed. Not cookie-cutter.
Just intentional, personal, and deeply felt.

When I’m not planning weddings, you’ll find me curled up with my cats, a good book, or a classic horror movie (with a hint of romance), or elbow-deep in a DIY project that transforms ordinary spaces into something beautiful.

If you’re dreaming of a celebration that feels like you,
you’re in the right place.
