We genuinely cannot put into words how grateful we are for Erika. From start to finish, she was the calm in the chaos, the glue holding everything together, and the reason our wedding was as joyful and stress-free as it was.
We began planning in 2019, with a wedding originally scheduled for April 2021—only to have to pivot like so many others due to the pandemic. Through every change, delay, and adjustment, Erika was right there with us. She helped us navigate rescheduling, coordinated with all of our vendors, and made what could have been an incredibly stressful process feel seamless and manageable. She even made herself available during our intimate ceremony before the full celebration, which was such a thoughtful and meaningful gesture.
What sets Erika apart is her grace, warmth, and the way she truly cares. She is incredibly organized, always on top of every detail, and somehow made everything run smoothly while still making us feel like we were the only people that mattered. On the day of our reception, we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment—all because we knew Erika had everything covered.
She even fixed my wedding bustle so quickly that I was back on the dance floor by the next song!
She is, without a doubt, one of the kindest and most capable people we’ve ever worked with. Looking back, we’re so thankful to have had her by our side during such an important time in our lives. Simply put, Erika is a gem—and any couple would be lucky to have her in their corner.

“We worked with Erika as our wedding planner and could not recommend her enough! Her warm energy and personality made what could be a very stressful process fun and enjoyable. We never had to worry about deadlines, contracts or communication with vendors as she was completely on top of everything. She did a wonderful job managing all of the family dynamics and personalities allowing the day to go off without a hitch. There is absolutely nothing I would change about our wedding planning process or wedding itself. I felt completely supported and prioritized throughout the year and wedding day while also being able to have fun and enjoy every minute. I could not recommend Erika enough! She's absolutely the best in the business!”

I had the pleasure of working with Erika as my wedding planner in 2021 and could not have had a better experience. From the beginning, Erika helped to make the planning process as easy as possible and quickly assured us both outwardly and from her incredible demeanor that we would have the best day. She made planning seamlessly fun and guided us every step of the way to ensure our vision came to life - and she beyond delivered.
Erika is organized, detail oriented, and easy to communicate with. She provides recommendations from years of expertise and experience, but always provides them in a way that is open for discussion in the event you had something else in mind. She is thoughtful, helpful, and such a bright light. I would highly recommend working with Erika on any of your event needs, big or small!

Erika was the best lead planner we could have asked for to help plan our 3-day Indian/Western fusion wedding! When looking for a planner, we wanted someone who was organized, fun and engaging, and someone who understood our vision. Erika was all this and more! From the beginning, she was very organized and brought so many creative ideas to the table. She quickly understood our vision and helped us figure out how to make it happen within our budget. Throughout the process, she was responsive, engaged, and immensely helpful. I knew we were set up for success that I had no anxiety leading up to the wedding. During the weekend, I was unaware of any issues that might have come up and I can only attest that to 1) Erika’s preparation for the weekend and 2) Erika’s ability to resolve anything without involving me or my husband. We are so grateful for her leadership and support in planning our weekend and making us feel so special during the weekend. If you are looking for a seamless process leading to a special and bespoke wedding, look no further than Erika!
