“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!

“Thank you so much for everything Erica – you are the “genuine article” and a veritable “wedding-pro”.  It certainly says something when guests and members of the wedding party remark on what a great wedding planner we had!”

When we decided to hire a wedding planner to make our day as special as it could be, we were confident it was the right decision, but were unprepared for just how amazing a difference it would make.

Well that “difference” comes down to one person – Erica Irwin.  Her care, professionalism and attention to detail were on full display from day one.  She listens.  Asking us what “experience” and “atmosphere” we wanted to create with our day, she keyed in to what was truly important for us – whether we were fully aware of it or not!   It is often said that the journey to a destination should be enjoyed just as much as the destination itself – well Erica certainly made that journey enjoyable, presenting us with a list of creative options and recommendations for each planning stage.  In doing this, she relieved us of the administrative burden and allowed us to focus on the decisions that would ultimately make our day special for ourselves, and even more importantly to us, for our guests.

Notably, Erica would channel her vast experience into letting us know whether an “idea” would work or not, or on issues such as the proper timing, order and number of speakers to ensure balance and a continuous energy for our reception.   The end result – with Erica’s care, guidance and planning wisdom, our day far exceeded our already high expectations – it was truly an amazing “life event”.

Thank you so much for everything Erica – you are the “genuine article” and a veritable “wedding-pro”.  It certainly says something when guests and members of the wedding party remark on what a great wedding planner we had!

Count Dominy and I as two of your biggest fans, of which there are many!

Thanks

“We were able to trust Erica implicitly which offered us piece of mind. We knew she would make sure that all deadlines were met and that nothing would fall between the cracks. It was absolutely the best decision we made.”

Being an event planner myself, I knew planning my wedding would be a big job but I never imagined the scope of ideas and options out there.  One word – Pinterest. I knew immediately that I would need a professional to guide me on this journey.

Erica came highly recommended by a family friend and after our initial meeting both my fiancé and I were aghast by her professionalism, her knowledge of the industry as a whole, her client awareness and her impeccable taste.  From the first moment, it became obvious that Erica had her finger on the pulse of the latest industry trends and was easily able to identify which would work with our vision.

We were able to trust Erica implicitly which offered us piece of mind. We knew she would make sure that all deadlines were met and that nothing would fall between the cracks. It was absolutely the best decision we made.

Erica thought of everything! She covered every detail, she didn’t let anything slide, and she worked efficiently and in an extremely organized fashion. As we got closer to the date, she communicated with me every step of the way to make sure I was at ease and ensuring that I knew everything was on track. It was said that we had brought in the most wedding ‘stuff’ that the Chateau Laurier planner had ever seen. Erica coordinated all these materials and vendors and had it all set up beautifully ahead of schedule. She made the planning of my wedding and he actual day an undeniable dream come true.

We are so proud of our wedding and the job that she did. We received numerous compliments about Erica’s work and the attention to detail that was paid.  I salute Erica in all her glory and think you would be crazy not to hire her!
