“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.”

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

“We had many unconventional requests and different requirements to our Persian/Italian Wedding and Erica you were simply amazing, rising to every occasion.  You went above and beyond for me, always being there to help, with anything, at any time.”

We very much appreciated and benefited from your full wedding planning services.  I was impressed with the detailed to do list, schedule, reminders, all in writing; and updated on a regular basis. You were always available to us, we communicated regularly, keeping each other up to date and on schedule. Regular meetings in person, on the phone, or via email were excellent and made the process of planning stress-free.  Having Erica there to fully coordinate on our wedding day was another great decision for us and our family. With you there for us on our special day, we were all able to enjoy every wonderful moment of our wedding without a worry.  You became part of the family! Everyone, including us, were so impressed by your professionalism and organization skills. We had less than 6 months to plan our perfect wedding and with you as our planner, not only did you make it happen, but also you made our day beyond perfect!

We chose you as our wedding planner, because you understand busy life and yet you can still do more in one day than anyone could in one week.  As business owners we have limited time and knew we would need a Wedding Planner if this wedding was ever going to happen.  I am still in awe that you were able to plan our wonderful wedding in less than 6 month! Your knowledge, expertise, experience and the fact that you are so easy to work with, are why you are the perfect wedding planner.

We had many unconventional requests and different requirements to our Persian/Italian Wedding and Erica you were simply amazing, rising to every occasion.  You went above and beyond for me, always being there to help, with anything, at any time.  Thank you for your dedication to Us.  A million thank you will never express our gratitude and appreciation.

Our wedding day was everything we wanted and more.  We enjoyed every moment and it was absolutely perfect! All Thanks to Erica we had our perfect wedding day.

“We definitely attribute the success of our wedding to Erica. My closest friends and family still talk about how wonderful the day was. My Mother and bridesmaids truly got to enjoy their day with me and we had such an amazing time together because I had entrusted everything with Erica.”

Erica was incredible to work with. My husband and I run our own Real Estate team and we knew we were not going to have the time or the resources to plan a wedding. Erica impressed us every step of the way from the moment we hired her until the late hours of our wedding reception.

As weeks went by, we never had to worry about anything because Erica was on top of it. We would receive ‘update’ emails from her on a regular basis and met on occasion to finalize important details. The best part was, not only were these meetings incredibly productive but Erica is a ton of fun so it was so nice to discuss all things wedding with her while enjoying her company.

When it came to suppliers, her recommendations were a hit. She works with some amazing people in the industry and did all of the shopping around for us. There is so much to plan when it comes to your wedding and it can easily be overwhelming, people asked us constantly how we were managing and how stressed we must be. However, we can honestly say, it was easy. Erica is one of the most efficient, professional, and organized people I have ever had the pleasure to work with. And on top of that, Erica is fabulously fun with impeccable taste. She is everything you could ever want when it comes to planning such a special event!

We definitely attribute the success of our wedding to Erica. My closest friends and family still talk about how wonderful the day was. My Mother and bridesmaids truly got to enjoy their day with me and we had such an amazing time together because I had entrusted everything with Erica. There were no duties on my big day – other than getting to the church! It was perfect and my husband has expressed the same sentiment.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Erica. We couldn’t have had such a perfect day without your help!

“The planning process went so smoothly because you were so easy going, patient, organized and always had great ideas. Anytime I didn’t know what I was going to do for certain things you always came up with great ideas, which we used and made our day that much more special.”

As soon as we first met with you we knew we wanted to work with you. The planning process went so smoothly because you were so easy going, patient, organized and always had great ideas. Anytime I didn’t know what I was going to do for certain things you always came up with great ideas, which we used and made our day that much more special.

We both were able to enjoy every minute of the wedding day knowing you were behind the scene taking care of everything.  Everyone at our wedding was gushing about how great our wedding planner was. Friends and family still waiting to get married will definitely have you in mind after seeing all the hard work you put into our wedding.

We wouldn’t have had the wedding of our dreams without you.  We can’t thank you enough for making our wedding day so special!

“With Erica’s help, our wedding was everything we wanted it to be, and more. I was so relaxed on our big day and so pleased to be able to spend uninterrupted time with my family and friends who had traveled from all over the country to celebrate our day with us.”

Our decision to work with a wedding planner was made after spending way too much time on the phone (in Vancouver) trying to pick a date and venue for our wedding in Ottawa. We chose Erica because she was just as excited for our wedding as we were. She understood my type A personality and my need to keep everything organized. Whenever I had a question or problem, she had already thought of it, sorted it out or taken care of it. Erica helped me so much, planning our long distance wedding. We spent a lot of time on the phone comparing lists.

During the months leading up to our big day, people would ask me how the planning was going. I was happy to say it was easy and everything was going well. She knew what we needed, kept us on budget, reminded us about deadlines, and helped us connect with people who could make our day run smoothly.

With Erica’s help, our wedding was everything we wanted it to be, and more. I was so relaxed on our big day and so pleased to be able to spend uninterrupted time with my family and friends who had traveled from all over the country to celebrate our day with us.

Thanks Erica. We couldn’t have done it without you. I am forever grateful for all you did in making our wedding the best day of our lives!
