Erica is fully committed to making sure your event is beautifully designed, planned and executed to perfection. Hiring the right wedding planner is a big decision, so trusting someone who is passionate about what she does is very important, and Erica fits the bill!
My husband and I are both busy professionals. The time and effort needed to plan a wedding seemed next to impossible for us. We made the decision early on that we would hire a wedding planner and Erica beyond exceeded our expectations. From early on in the process, it was apparent that her attention to detail would bring our dream wedding to life. She had every angle covered and provided regular email updates. These included timelines, budget updates and the occasional gentle reminder of outstanding items on my to do list. We were confident that nothing would be missed under her watchful eye.
She made recommendations when choosing vendors, dealt with the hassles of contract negotiations and provided price comparisons we could review. She had a wealth of knowledge on many local businesses in the area. This was invaluable in helping us make the right decisions.
My wedding day was amazing! I was able to sit back and enjoy the day instead of stressing about a bunch of details. She came well equipped to deal with any “bumps in the road” including a minor dress mishap on my wedding day that needed some extra pins. She really did think of everything!! Our day turned out to be flawless and we have memories that we will cherish forever.
It was almost sad when the day was over, not only was Erica an extremely professional and amazing wedding planner, but I now consider her a friend. You will have no regrets if you choose to hire her to make your day just as special!
Sincerely,
Karen & James

Erica came highly recommended and thankfully agreed to work together in planning our wedding…in 2 short months! From our first meeting, Erica listened to our vision and then guided with her experience to ensure we had the most magical day – which we did! Not only did Erica come with us to vendors, she kept us on budget, shared amazing contacts and ideas, sent updates and gentle reminders to keep everything on track, all while having fun together. She thought of things we simply could not have anticipated, no matter how many blogs and stories one could read! Her countless hours and time did not go unnoticed, at all hours of the day/night. Always professional, her positive ‘no-problem’ approach made the planning ‘appear’ seamless! With Erica handling all the details it allowed us to enjoy the whole process and our wedding day together. Right down to the day-of schedule, we were able to be with family and friends, knowing all the details were handled! Erica radiates a warm, confident, and calm energy that was a gift to have on our special day.
A year later now, looking back, there is not one thing we would have changed and I attribute that to Erica and her unwavering attention to detail, thank you again!! xo

Thank you so much Sarah for leaving a comment and review! I loved planning this beautiful wedding with you two. Especially loved the "crunch" of the short time line. Everything fell into place so perfectly, so happy I was a part of your special day. xo

Erica was amazing to work with. From our meet and greet, the planning process and especially on our special day she went above and beyond to make everything perfect for us!
Erica is a true professional who knows weddings. She has fabulous taste, is patient and caring but can take on any situation and handle it with tact. Her exstensive list of suppliers and her relationship with these contacts is a major bonus when working with Erica, not only will she save you money but can make your event uniquely you!
Hiring a wedding planner to help us plan our wedding was one of the best decisions we made (aside from deciding to marry each other ;) Her skills and expertise allowed us to enjoy every aspect of our day.
I highly recommend this phenomenal woman - you won't be disappointed!

Erica is a very organized wedding planner; she knew all the right questions to ask to make sure the day went off without a hitch. (No pun intended.) Her wedding day planning efforts were instrumental in allowing us enjoy our day without having to worry about the little details.
Almost 10 years later, I look back at our wedding day with fond memories (and great photos!). I'm a very frugal person and weddings can be a big expense. I don't have any regrets about how we spent our money. Credit for that goes 100% to Erica, she made sure we were spending money on things that were important to us and she made sure we were getting value for our dollars. Her experience on our behalf was invaluable.
Please consider Erica if you are looking for a wedding planner, you wont regret it!
