Let’s plan your perfect event

At Bloom Events Portland, we believe that you are the most important part of your event.

That is why we get to know you - your style, your likes and dislikes, your values and goals. We listen to your vision, so we can bring that vision to life, with care, creativity, and attention to detail.

We care about you as a person, not just as a client

The event itself matters, but you matter more. Our goal is to reduce your stress, give you back your time, and make the event planning process fun. We support you every step of the way, serve as your greatest cheerleader, and more often than not become friends.

We specialize in coordination (handling all of the details)

We realize that dreaming up your event is fun, but managing all of the logistics is not. That’s where we come in.

Let us handle all of those pesky (and stressful) details. From vendor communication and timelines to all the moving pieces on event day, we make sure everything runs seamlessly, so you can focus on what really matters: celebrating, connecting, and creating beautiful memories.

Based in Portland, OR, we serve the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Whether you are planning a wedding or elopement, a party or celebration, or a corporate event or nonprofit fundraiser, we’d love to partner with you to plan an event infused with intention and creativity. Let's plan your perfect event together!

Testimonials

My partner and I worked with Samantha, and she was phenomenal. She is friendly, thoughtful, and communicative (and so nice!). The handoff between our planning efforts and her coordination was seamless. Highly recommend hiring her - it was the best decision we made in our planning!
- Kerry
We swear there were three Samanthas working ahead of the day and on the day of our daughter's wedding. She was that good. Every single thing that needed to be done was done perfectly. She was focused, steady, and always one step ahead. We never had to worry about a thing. Samantha was born to do this, and we will be forever thankful to have found her.”
- Hilary
We had Samantha for our Day of Coordinator and had an amazing experience with her! She was detail oriented and gave us helpful feedback/perspective when we weren't sure what we wanted to do. Our wedding day went so incredibly smoothly, I know some things came up but I didn't have to touch a thing because Samantha had it handled (from flowers to decor setup to ensuring everyone was in place) - that's the type of experience you want to have on your wedding day. Our guests also said she was awesome to hang with, another added plus that she added great energy to the vibes! Highly recommend booking with Samantha!!! Thank you all so much!
- Virginia
While planning my wedding I realized it was going to be way too much work, even with the help of my bridesmaids and parents. There were so many details to keep track of, so I began looking for a wedding coordinator. Samantha was absolutely fantastic! She helped me plan all the details, big and small. I was in contact with her months before the wedding and extra time the week before to make sure everything was taken care of. She was in contact with all of my vendors to confirm they would be at the right place at the right time, and thought of things I would have totally forgotten about. The day of she did most of the setting up and took care of any issues that came up. I couldn’t have done it without her.
- Zoe
My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Samantha and we couldn’t have been more pleased. She guided us through so many things we hadn’t even known we should prepare for. She completely took leadership on the day of and resolved many issues for us during our wedding day coordinating with all our vendors and allowing us to really enjoy the day. Thank you Samantha!!!
- Kendra
Best thing we did - Samantha was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. She was incredibly helpful, responsive, and pleasant throughout the entire planning process. She truly left no stone unturned, ensuring our day was smooth sailing. It really allowed us to fully enjoy the weekend. Thanks for all your hard work!

About Bloom

Hi, I’m Samantha - planner, problem solver, and your biggest event day cheerleader! I’m the owner and lead planner of Bloom Events Portland, and I’d love to partner with you to create a celebration that feels unmistakably you.

I started my career in events over a decade ago, planning nonprofit fundraisers and corporate conferences. Eventually, I discovered the magic of weddings and knew I’d found the missing piece to my events portfolio. Now with Bloom Events Portland, I get to bring all of that experience together under one roof - nonprofit and corporate events, parties, and weddings - and I couldn’t be happier!

I value working collaboratively, whether that’s brainstorming with you on the perfect guest experience or working side-by-side with your vendor team to make sure everyone is supported and set up for success. I take pride in fostering a kind and inclusive energy throughout the planning process and on event day.

When I’m not planning events, you can find me spending time with my husband and two young children. We love exploring all the PNW has to offer - from farms to waterfalls to neighborhood parks, there’s always a new adventure to be had! I also appreciate a good cup of coffee and collecting far too many vintage treasures “for work… probably.”

I’m here to make event planning feel joyful, comfortable, and stress-free. I can’t wait to meet you, cheer you on, and help bring your perfect day to life!
