Right from the start I knew Erica was different from other planners. She spent an hour on the phone with me talking through my vision, dream wedding, priorities/ how we’d want to spend our budget, and every other detail. She was so organized and proactive that it made me feel like I could really lean on her.

Erica brings an incredible wealth of knowledge, connections, and experience to the wedding planning relationship that you really can’t get anywhere else. All of her vendor recommendations were top-notch, and they often bend their rules a bit “because you’re working with Erica”. She was omnipotent on our wedding day, and our day went off without a hitch.
