ARI LENNARTZ
A Pacific Northwest girl born and raised, Ari has called Portland her true home for the past 24 years. After a short hiatus to attend Gonzaga University, she made her way to Seattle where she worked for the Mariners coordinating corporate events, educational field trips, and personal celebrations at the ballpark. Although she loved her time in the Emerald City, Portland continued to pull her heart home and she made the move back to her Oregon roots.
Ari’s interest in the wedding industry started early on and she knew that Bridal Bliss was the perfect place to begin her journey in the bridal world. She is continually inspired by her clients and always strives to showcase their personalities through each event. Thanks to her attention to detail and obsession with organization, Ari thrives in working to assure that everything runs smoothly in all aspects of the planning and operations process.
When she isn’t at Bridal Bliss you can find Ari out on the golf course, coaching volleyball, enjoying a happy hour, or playing with her Mini Goldendoodle, Blazer.

“I can’t say enough great things about Bridal Bliss. We loved our experience working with Ari. She understood exactly what was important to us and she put together a phenomenal team to make it happen. She made sure everything worked smoothly leading up to the wedding and day-of. She was organized, with impeccable taste, and she was just a genuinely fun person to hang out with during all the vendor meetings. We felt like we should have been way more stressed in the days leading up to the wedding but Ari made everything so relaxed and stress-free. The day itself was exactly the elegant dinner party that we had envisioned, and it was more beautiful than we could have ever imagined.”
