We hired Erica as the “day of” wedding planner for our daughter’s wedding. She started helping with the organization the month before the wedding. She was incredibly easy to work with and we appreciated all of her suggestions and advice. Erica spearheaded the rehearsal the day before the wedding. Then on the wedding day, she took over and made sure everything was in place. Thank you to Erica and her assistant for everything! The wedding ceremony and reception were perfect. And our day and night were completely stress free. That could only have happened as a result of Erica taking care of every little detail behind the scenes.

Wow! Erica was truly a godsend. She joined our vendor team just three weeks out from our wedding date, and we are beyond grateful she did! My husband and I were planning a wedding at a private home in Hancock Park for 120 guests, and we were doing our best to handle everything on our own. About a month before the big day, we realized how stressed we were and that we desperately needed a day-of coordinator if we actually wanted to enjoy our wedding. Enter Erica.
From the very first call, she was responsive, flexible with scheduling, proactive, and such a clear communicator. She walked us through exactly what she would provide, but in the end she went above and beyond in every single way. As soon as we shared our vendor contacts, she immediately introduced herself as the point of contact, ironing out details, troubleshooting issues we did not even know existed, and helping us think through last-minute tasks and potential concerns. She was incredibly thorough in learning my vision for the day, and she absolutely nailed it.
Our wedding went seamlessly thanks to her. She elevated empty spaces like the bars with extra flowers and candles that I had not even thought to place, and the effect was beautiful. If there were any problems on the wedding day, I truly had no idea because she handled everything so gracefully. She protected our peace, made sure we felt cared for, and kept things moving along even as my husband and I made changes to the schedule in real time such as photos running long or guests arriving early. Our guests even commented on how helpful she was in directing them and keeping the flow going.
Erica also anticipated the little things that made such a difference. When it came time to cut the cake, I suddenly realized I had forgotten to set out the cake-cutting tools, but of course Erica had already taken care of it. She ensured our vendors were well-fed and even checked for dietary needs. She managed transportation hiccups, including calming me down during an 11pm panic call, and oversaw cleanup so well that when we returned to the house the next day it was pretty much spotless.
What impressed me most was how she worked so diligently behind the scenes without ever inserting herself unnecessarily. I barely saw her the entire day, yet everything ran like clockwork. At the same time, she is warm, sweet, and genuinely kind. She looked out for us in every way and made sure we could actually soak in and enjoy our wedding.
We had originally considered paying a friend to be our coordinator, and looking back, that would have been absolutely crazy. Hiring Erica was one of the best decisions we made. She made our wedding not only possible, but magical. I would recommend her a thousand times over. Hopefully I will not be getting married again, but if I did, I would not dream of doing it without Erica.

We hired Erica as our month of coordinator for our July 2024 wedding and it was the best decision! Erica is so organized and professional, and helped us organize this DIY-style wedding with many moving parts. She helped us fill in missing pieces of our plan and flawlessly coordinated with all the vendors on our wedding day so we didn't have to stress. Highly recommend Erica!

Erica was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was so thoughtful and thorough throughout the whole planning process. She and her team were so kind for helping set up on the day of which was executed beautifully. We could not have pulled off our short-notice wedding without their help!

Erica is the best! She was so organized, incredibly attentive to detail, and clearly cared so much! She was so prompt in her responses and kept track of everything for a VERY logistically complicated wedding. Her handling of our vendors and location was top notch.
Our wedding day was so perfect and we owe so much of that to Erica!

Ten stars at least! The best decision I made for our son's wedding which we hosted was hiring Erica. She is a consummate pro and handled everything we gave her with grace and ease. We asked a lot, and got more in return. Leading up to the wedding and the day-of, Erica was confidently in charge. Her communications skills are exceptional as she kept us posted every step of the way, thinking of things that were needed that were not even on our radar. I appreciate how she kept connected not only with me, but also the bride and groom to ensure every expectation and desire was met. The day of the wedding, I did not have a care or worry and could be a guest as everything was expertly and quietly handled behind the scenes to perfection. Our son's wedding was flawless because of Erica. I cannot sing Erica's praises enough. Hire her to make your wedding the joy, delightful, happy occasion as it should be. Thank you Erica!

Erica worked beautifully with us to create the at-home backyard wedding of our dreams! She was exactly what we wanted in a wedding planner--well-organized (which we're not, so we desperately needed someone who was), but also willing to let us do things our own way and make it a unique and personal event. She was the perfect combination of on-top-of-things and mellow that we needed on our daughter's special day and we would hire again in a second. We feel very lucky we found her! We couldn't have pulled it off without her.

Erica was my person in charge on my wedding day, she was professional and friendly. She was on top of everything from the moment we started our month of coordinating. She asked so many questions and forced me to face small details I hadn’t thought about or was procrastinating on. If you’re thinking about hiring her as your coordinator you should, you won’t regret it :)

I hired Erica for month-of coordinator and she was a DREAM! She was on top of everything, helped relieve so much stress from us and was extremely professional. She did an excellent job communicating effectively and clearly amongst all our vendors and she ran our wedding so smoothly.
We had some unexpected weather on our wedding day and she quickly created a plan and coordinated a last minute delivery, relieving so much anxiety on my end. She really prioritizes her clients and I trusted her with everything. Hiring Erica was the best decision we made in our wedding planning process, she is a true gem in this industry!

I hired Erica as my month of coordinator for my May 2023 wedding at Palos Verdes Golf Club. She was incredibly organized and took a huge weight off my plate because I planned my wedding myself and wasn't sure of the details that I was missing and couldn't see my own mistakes, which she knew how to prevent through her knowledge and experience. She made me feel at ease the month before my wedding and on my wedding day, where everything went according to plan and I genuinely had no worries, and my bridesmaids even complimented me for how calm I was. I could not be more grateful for choosing Erica as my coordinator! Wedding design by me @britt.ogletree on IG and TikTok

Erica is literally a star. The search for a wedding coordinator is hard and frustrating, but all it took was one phone call with Erica to ease all of my anxiety about my big day. She is extremely professional and dedicated to her work, and one of the most lovely people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Without her, there's no way my wedding day would have gone as smoothly as it did. She coordinated with every single vendor and created the perfect timeline, which even included my request for a night photo shoot on the beach. She also built us a custom backdrop from greenery panels that went behind our sweetheart table! To put it shortly, my mom (who didn't think we needed a wedding coordinator) is now obsessed with Erica and can't stop talking about how amazing she is. She is worth every penny and will be, by far, the best hire for your wedding. We love you Erica!

Erica was referred to me by a friend whose wedding she had Month off coordinated and was absolutely fabulous! Erica understood my vision and helped me work with our vendors when there was confusion etc. She has an amazing team as our church ceremony and reception were at 2 different sites about 40 min apart. Her team was flawless with last minute changes and any hiccups (I didn’t see any). I was at total ease and enjoyed the whole night knowing Erica had it under control.
Cheers, Christina & Rory Miller

I cant say enough how wonderful Erica was throughout the entire wedding process! For 9 months Erica was on point! She was kind, calm, efficient, creative and much much more! We felt so lucky to have found such a talented woman to orchestrate my daughters wedding. All the vendors she connected us too were fantastic! We had the wedding at a home up in a windy canyon, so Erica had to assemble and manage numerous unforeseen obstacles. Including having valet and a shuttle service, rain drizzle and keeping the owners of the house happy. She created an absolutely magical wedding!!

To everyone out there wondering if you will need a wedding coordinator, the answer is yes and her name is Erica. Over all other planners, she was the most responsive and professional. Her friendly disposition and calming presence worked wonders throughout the journey as we dealt with the many traditional wedding stresses. Erica connected with us without being overbearing or over-selling herself, and was absolutely essential to our special day.
Beyond everything else Erica listened, and we mean REALLY listened. There were doubts at times when the journey presented trouble, but she came up with quick and great solutions every time. She managed our families with dignity and poise and calmly mediated our vibrant dynamics quite seamlessly. She saved us on countless occasions, and our wedding would not have been anywhere close to the magical celebration that it was without her.
Thank you, Erica, for everything!
Love,
Rachel and Brian Lockwood

Erica is an events pro! We worked with her for several events, including a virtual gala, a virtual meeting series and a hybrid virtual/in-person gala. She was professional, prompt, organized and fun to work with! She brought with her her many years of in-person event planning experience and a willingness to learn how to execute virtual events flawlessly. There is no one better.

Erica made our wedding so special from start to finish. I tried to NOT be Bridezilla but I did have my moments and Erica took it all in stride and never let me see her sweat. I know I was demanding but I realized early on Erica was as much a perfectionist as I am and if anything did go wrong at any time, we never knew it! Everyone had such a great time and are still talking about the night and how flawless it was. There's no way we could have been able to organize such a beautiful evening by ourselves, and (almost!) totally stress free. Erica is thorough and thoughtful with an amazing flair for communication and follow up. Hire her for your event, you will not be disappointed!!

Erica Lauren Events provided 5 star service all around from start to finish. She was always on time, thorough, and recommended incredible vendors for our wedding. We gave her the vision we had and she knew exactly how to execute it. If there's one thing i'm really happy about incorporating into our wedding day, it is hands down our planner.
Her calm positive energy during the wedding day really helped us to relax and enjoy our big day as well. She even made really good suggestions in terms of the layout for the wedding that saved us money. I highly recommend using her services.
