Wow—where do I even begin? Erica was truly the rock of our wedding day. From the months of planning leading up to the wedding, to coordinating every detail behind the scenes, to seamlessly pivoting when thunderstorms threatened our outdoor plans, she had absolutely everything under control.
On a day that could have easily felt stressful, Erica gave us the gift of complete peace of mind. She anticipated needs before they arose, kept everyone on schedule, handled challenges with confidence, and made sure every detail came together flawlessly.
We were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment because we knew she had everything on lock. Her organization, professionalism, and genuine care for our day exceeded every expectation we had.
We are unbelievably grateful for how much she showed up for us and how invested she was in making our wedding perfect. Hiring Erica was one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire wedding planning process. If you're considering a day-of coordinator, stop looking and hire her, you will thank yourself later.
I got engaged September 2025. I was beyond excited and started planning. I knew it would be small but we picked April 2026, which didn’t leave much time to plan. So I dove in! And drowned. Immediately. And I was about to give up, until I saw Backyard Bliss come across my instagram. It was like the universe knew who just to throw in my path! Erica was kind, professional, THOROUGH, and made our day come to life before our eyes.
She truly cares about walking you through the entire process. Every meeting we talked about each item we planned and after each call, she would let me know what we talked about and what was next. She constantly stated in touch with me and came up with ideas and alternative ideas just in case! If I could find what I wanted, she did. If I couldn’t picture it, she made me a visual. For every problem she had an answer.
My entire wedding party, officiant, and caterer raved about Erica! They loved that she walked them through every step of the day. Not only by making herself available on the phone, but by her fun detailed documents created for each job/person. They felt fully supported, which meant a lot since it was a first for a lot of them.
Ultimately, our day was so special and it’s all thanks to Erica with Backyard Bliss. I would choose her for every party, wedding, or special occasion. We cannot thank her enough for all her love, hard work, and dedication she poured into our wedding. We couldn’t have had a better day to start our forever. THANK YOU ERICA!
