We had a vision for our wedding and Erica made it happen, she is truly exceptional! We could not have imagined a more perfect wedding day and no words can truly describe the happiness we felt. She exceeded our expectations and working with her was one of the best decisions we made! Erica is thoughtful, kind, affable, professional, organized, reliable and efficient. She has her clients best interest at heart and our family & friends loved her.

I personally initially was very hesitant to hire a wedding planner since I’m quite organized and wanted to be very involved in the decision making/planning. However, my husband encouraged me because we are so busy. Am I ever happy I listened to him!! I can say that Erica will seamlessly adapt to your style and cater to your individual needs. She knew when to ask our input and she knew when to make some decisions without us. She also knew how to triage the urgency of various decisions to make. She had various tools and timelines to keep our planning on track through out the process. She has a lot of experience so she knows when things aren’t feasible and doesn’t hesitate to reach out to other vendors when needed. She also has great recommendations for vendors that suit your vision. She is very well connected and respected within the wedding industry and can get replies very quickly. I had a last minute hiccup on the day before my wedding and Erica managed to solve it without any issues. She has an excellent team on her side which also offered behind the scenes help during the planning process and wedding day.

This goes without saying that we 110% recommend Erica and her team! Our wedding day would not have been the same without her. With her on board you can rest assured that you will be well taken care of, you will have an amazing day and any crisis you have will be solved!

Erica was our Fairy Godmother and choosing to work with her was the best decision we made when planning our wedding. She became someone we could truly trust and rely on. I knew that whenever Erica stepped in, everything would be okay.

Erica was our Fairy Godmother and choosing to work with her was the best decision we made when planning our wedding.

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. After our initial call, Erica went ahead and booked a series of venue tours of our top picks JUST IN CASE we’d say yes to working with her! She was so organized and proactive that it made me feel like I could really lean on her (especially important since my husband and I do not live in Ottawa/ know anything about weddings/ vendors).

Throughout the entire year and a half of working with Erica, not only did she allow us to actually enjoy our entire wedding planning process by taking on all the hours of planning and coordinating, but she did everything with our best interests in mind and had our backs throughout all the ups and downs. She became someone we could truly trust and rely on. I knew that whenever Erica stepped in, everything would be okay. To top it all off, she was so obviously amazing & on top of everything during our actual wedding weekend that so many of our friends and family even commented to us saying “WOW Erica is incredible!!”

All that being said, if you are on the fence about choosing Erica as your wedding planner, do yourself a favour AND SAY YES!! She is the best and I’m so sad we don’t get to spend more time with her now that our wedding has happened.

From start to finish, Erica made the event planning for our wedding weekend so easy and fun. Having her there meant we could both truly enjoy every single moment of our day with 100% confidences – which was absolutely priceless.

From start to finish, Erica made the event planning for our wedding weekend so easy and fun. She had advice and a suggestion for every little aspect, brought together our random ideas in a gorgeous cohesive way and fixed anything that went wrong, always with a smile on her face. Throughout the process, Erica kept us organised and made our time as efficient as possible while also making every step fun, and we always looked forward to our calls with her. She is an incredibly positive and professional problem-solver and you can rest assured that with her on board, absolutely nothing will go wrong (because she’ll sort it out without even telling you what happened!). Having her there meant we could both truly enjoy every single moment of our day with 100% confidences – which was absolutely priceless. Plus, all the vendors she suggested were complete rock stars. Our venue Chateau Montebello was also OBSESSED with Erica which tells you everything you need to know. She is just the best!

Erica is amazing, we could not recommend her more. She was omnipotent on our wedding day, and our day went off without a hitch!

Erica is amazing; we could not recommend her more. She 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”. Erica cares a lot about your vision and what you’re looking to accomplish, and caters her recommendations specifically. She was omnipotent on our wedding day, and our day went off without a hitch – despite a few tiny kinks here and there that we didn’t even know about until later, because Erica and her team took care of them in the background.

Erica has a vast amount of knowledge, experience, and connections in the wedding industry. She was able to tell us things about our venue the NAC that we would have never considered.

The best investment you can make in your wedding planning is Erica Irwin Weddings. Erica is an exceptional wedding planner, a true professional, and a thoughtful, kind soul. After booking our venue, the NAC, and many vendors on our own, we hired Erica.. We knew we had made the right decision as soon as we started talking to her over Zoom, she’s just that good. Erica has a vast amount of knowledge, experience, and connections in the wedding industry. She was able to tell us things about our venue the NAC that we would have never considered.

Throughout the wedding planning process, Erica was always happy to answer our questions and schedule check ins if needed. As we headed into the month of the wedding, we didn’t feel stressed at all thanks to Erica. She was on top of everything.

On the wedding day, Erica and her team took care of every single detail. This team was such a pleasure to work with and we are forever grateful for them.
