“Walking in to our wedding and reception venues was surreal. Erica had somehow pulled together a wedding beyond what we had hoped and dreamed about.”

My husband and I needed to plan our wedding within two weeks to ensure a very ill parent could be a part of the day. We had the immense fortune of finding Erica Irwin, who bravely took on this challenge and knocked it out of the park. With very minimal direction from us, Erica was able to suss out our style, connect us with her exceptional vendors, and presented us with a phenomenal decor scheme. Erica used her wealth of experience to establish a work plan that we all worked off of to ensure no piece was missed during this flurry of planning. Erica also understood the immense time constraints we were under caring for a sick loved one, and went above and beyond handing many emails and texts herself, and even vendor payments on our behalf. Walking in to our wedding and reception venues was surreal. Erica had somehow pulled together a wedding beyond what we had hoped and dreamed about. We received many compliments on all aspects of our day. Almost one year later, when we reflect back on our day, we cannot think of anything more we would have wanted, and always end our musings with a, “thank goodness for Erica!”

Sincerely,

Rhea and Alisdair

“I also appreciated all the ways you helped us to spend our money wisely.  It’s easy to get excited and go overboard when dreaming of your wedding but you kept us in check and helped to pick what best fit our budget.”

Chris and I can’t thank you enough for all you did for us to help make our special day the most memorable day of our lives. You’re help through the planning phase was a lifesaver, even to this type A control freak! At first, I was worried about working with a planner but you were fantastic and helped to make the entire experience an enjoyable one. I really appreciated your suggestions as well as you letting me micro manage the whole thing. Your flexibility was fantastic along with your recommendations. I also appreciated all the ways you helped us to spend our money wisely. It’s easy to get excited and go overboard when dreaming of your wedding but you kept us in check and helped to pick what best fit our budget. The result was truly the wedding of our dreams!

I especially appreciated your help on the night of the rehearsal. Who would have thought after seeing so many weddings on movies and TV that I had no idea how they actually go!

Having you as our Wedding Planner was worth every penny! My Mom and I got to enjoy every moment leading up to the wedding without worry! On the wedding day, Chris and I were also able relax and enjoy our guests knowing you had everything under control and would let us know where to be and when.

Thank you! I will definitely be recommending you to anyone getting married that I come across!

Sincerely,

Lori and Chris Needham

“It’s not just the church, not just the venue, not just the decor. It’s having someone that knows end to end how the day is supposed to go and can execute it as planned while you celebrate!”

We knew we wanted a wedding planner and we met with five different ones before we decided on Erica. She gave us the impression of someone that was professional, trustworthy and experienced and our first impression was confirmed during the following months of planning. It’s easy to underestimate the usefulness of a Wedding Planner but we sure learned there’s a lot of moving pieces to planning a wedding exactly how you want it! Erica helped us organize the full vision we had of the whole wedding day. It’s not just the church, not just the venue, not just the decor. It’s having someone that knows end to end how the day is supposed to go and can execute it as planned while you celebrate!

Erica made my husband and I very comfortable throughout the planning process. She was so warm and welcoming from the very first time we met until the very last day of work. Her energy was very encouraging and definitely contagious. She knew what she was doing, had great connections with wedding vendors and stayed on top of it all with exceptional organization. Her charisma and passion for her job put us at ease knowing our special day was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner.

From the first meeting with Erica, I knew she had the experience and sense of style we were looking for in planning our wedding. Her friendly and enthusiastic personality made our appointments something to look forward to – like meeting up with a friend!

We were continually impressed with her organization, ideas and support. She gently guided us to ensure we had essential services booked in plenty of time and always replied to our inquires very quickly. When choosing vendors, she provided many options but was also pleased to work with individuals we suggested. The one time we hit a speed bump, she was quick to help us figure out a new plan. It was also essential to have Erica on the wedding weekend. Both Grant and I were able to celebrate with friends and family worry free as we were so confident in the planning and the work that had already been done. Erica handled all timelines and questions from the vendors. The wedding was gorgeous from start to finish and our only job that day was to enjoy it.

We cannot recommend Erica highly enough.
