Making Every Event Extraordinary

Born and raised in Portland, Nora Sheils has been smitten with weddings since she was a child. After graduating from Gonzaga University with a degree in Psychology & Business and working several years in the bridal industry, she decided it was time to take her expertise to the next level.  Bridal Bliss opened its doors for business in 2002 and has since risen through the ranks as one of Portland’s top event planning firms.  Since, she has appeared regularly as a wedding expert on several local television shows including KATU’s AM Northwest, KOIN 6’s Keeping it Local, Weddings Portland Style, Portland Now and Portland Bridal TV.

Nora has won Oregon Bride Magazine’s Best Of awards for three consecutive years, and has been a constant fixture in several media outlets including Portland Bride & Groom Magazine and. Oregon Bride Magazine. Several Bridal Bliss events have also been featured on blogs such as Style Me Pretty, Coco-Kelley, Portland Style Unveiled, and various others.  Nora's attention to details, strict standard for quality, fun enthusiasm, and comforting demeanor puts her clients at ease.

Dear Nora,
Thank you so much for everything you have done over the past year to make our wedding perfect, beautiful, and unique beyond expectation.  Your recommendations, sweet reminders, creative ideas, support, and involvement were deeply appreciated and I couldn’t have done it without you.  I have loved working with you and feel so fortunate that our paths crossed.  Thank you for helping to make this the best day of my life.

With love and heartfelt thanks,

Hailey Bernstein
