We’ll happily manage and collaborate with every vendor on your behalf to make sure your wedding is simply the best day ever. We want you two, your family and your friends to enjoy everything to the fullest!

After graduating from the University of Western Ontario, I worked in high-tech for thirteen years as a Director for one of the largest companies in the world. A girl dreams of being a Wedding Planner, not of working in high tech … well at least this girl.

So in early 2008, I followed my dream and started Erica Irwin Weddings & Events! Over these years, I have built excellent relationships with wedding vendors and venues in the Ottawa area. My carefully curated list of wedding professionals means you will have Ottawa’s best on your “wedding dream team”. I have also taken care to choose amazing people to work along side me. My team is dedicated to making sure every wedding we plan and execute is beautiful, organized and also your best day ever!  We want to work with you both from the beginning right through to that last tear-filled hug as we say goodbye.

I am a wife, a mom of four amazing kids, a runner, a baker, a gardener and I love to chat! So let’s get together for a coffee or a glass of wine and talk about your wedding!

We put our couples’ love story first when meticulously planning and designing their wedding celebrations. Every element of your day should reflect the two of you. Click here to experience this breathtaking showcase expertly captured by Grey Loft Studio and feel the magic firsthand!
