Full-Service Wedding Planning & Design

Formally Bliss Events Chicago

Celebrations are a reflection of what matter most — love, connection, joy, and legacy

Born and raised in the South, Renny’s earliest inspirations came from gracious homes, layered interiors, and the traditions of hospitality that shaped her childhood. Her mother, an interior designer, taught her the art of storytelling through space: creating rooms — and later events — where every gathering felt like coming home.

Her love of hosting deepened during culinary school, where she studied the art of hospitality and discovered the craft of creating experiences that linger long after the last course. Years working in catering refined her understanding of logistics — building teams, orchestrating service, and ensuring events felt effortless for guests.

After gaining early experience in the corporate world, Renny launched Bliss Events in 2000, just as she welcomed her first child — building a
name synonymous with thoughtful design, masterful planning, and deeply personal celebrations.

Today, Renny’s perspective is shaped by a lifetime of layered influences — the elegance of Southern gatherings, where monogrammed linens and thoughtful gestures turn hospitality into memory; a love for architecture and textures that whisper stories of time and place; an admiration for organic beauty where simplicity feels artful; and the easy sophistication of the Midwest, where celebrations feel personal, welcoming, and enduring.

“Renny's leadership skills, planning abilities, and creative insights enhanced the project and brought a myriad of vendors together to produce a truly amazing event.”

“She brings out the best in each vendor, fosters genuine collaboration, and leads with clarity, confidence, and warmth.”

— Birch Design

After 25 unforgettable years and more than 500 celebrations shaped across Chicago and destinations throughout the U.S., Bliss Events has evolved into Renny Events — a new name that reflects a deeper connection to founder Renny Pedersen's mission, a renewed spirit of inspiration, and a return to the heart of what made her journey extraordinary.

Today, we reflect not just a company, but a fresh and focused point of view:
Celebrations should feel lived-in, joyful, and timeless — never staged.
Planning should feel personal and seamless — not transactional.
A meaningful experience should feel generous and grounded — not indulgent for its own sake.
No one size fits all thinking. Just purposeful planning, exquisite execution
and the joy of celebrating your story with care and meaning.
For us, true hospitality is a series of thoughtful gestures that turn your most special gatherings into lasting memories.
