Erica Sarell Weddings & Events

ordinating with the venue, etc. She also took over for me 2 weeks in advance of the wedding, letting me relax and enjoy the time with friends and family. She is FANTASTIC to work with and our wedding was either early or on-time for every aspect! Literally nothing went wrong. Erica even jumped in to help us out at our rehearsal dinner! If you're looking for a wedding or event coordinator, hands-down Erica is the way to go.

absolutely loved working with her and sincerely appreciated all the work she put into ensuring we had the perfect day. We couldn't rate her higher!

ad a couple moments of tears from the overwhelming task of planning a destination wedding. After, there were only tears of joy. Erica saved us many nights of anxiety. She had the perfect balance of gathering our input on certain items but using her expertise to make other decisions for us. My job required me to be out of contact for four the nine months of wedding planning and Erica was able to serve as someone to lean on for my wife in my absence leading up to the wedding. Erica not only planned the wedding day, but as soon as we arrive in Breckenridge, she had coordinated key events (like the fun drink tasting or the necessary rehearsal). This structure allowed us to enjoy the holidays, family time, and the slopes without having to worry about when the wedding tasks would be taken care of. For the actual wedding day, Erica was able to handle all of the speedbumps without us even knowing about them. The only we one we did know about was that it was 10 degrees coupled with an outdoor ceremony. Erica had preplanned for all the shuttle to have the heat going full blast for a quick warm up for our guests. Her dedication to making our wedding special was reinforced by our guests comment on how perfect and fun the day was. We attribute their positive reaction to her hard work. My only regret was not hiring her sooner or maybe considering an inside ceremony in December.

ization and day of coordination was amazing and I felt totally taken care, comfortable and relaxed. She is wonderful.

she put me at ease. She helped me design the vision and communicate that to all the vendors. She helped me handle and navigate the major staffing changes at Timber Ridge (Keystone). She also helped me get my last minute sign shipment picked up and put together. If you are planning a Colorado wedding she's an excellent planner and just an amazing person to have by your side on the big day!

r!!! She is so talented and skilled at what she does, she takes your ideas, dreams and wants for your wedding and makes it all come together better than you could imagine. Every single interaction we had with her she made us feel special and does a great job getting to know her bride and groom to better understand their vision. I am a type of person that worries about all the little things, but on our wedding day I had zero stress because I knew Erica could handle everything and I could enjoy the special day. I highly recommend ESW and I promise your day will be exactly what you hoped!

ewly engaged couples it is, planners like Erica are worth every penny! Erica was quick to help out with the final details and saved us money were it counted. Through out the planning Erica was very easy to get a hold of, she even responded to late night texts when questions arose. Having a destination wedding in the mountains was as beautiful as a dream, but took a lot of time to organize every logistic. Erica helped make this process run seamlessly, so that my husband and I could enjoy the week with our friends and family. We can't thank Erica enough for every part she had in making our day one we will always remember!

kful that we found Erica to fill that role. My husband and I completely changed gears (not just venue, try different state completely) about 9 months before our wedding. We were lucky to have found Erica as a recommendation from mutual friends who had their destination wedding in Colorado the year prior. Erica worked very hard right from the beginning and had us nail down our ceremony and receptions venues within 2 weeks, and cinched the hair/makeup, cake, DJ, transportation, and photographer a few weeks after that. Throughout the process, Erica was very responsive to e-mails/texts, particularly when I had frantic moments, and she was available during off hours, and weekends especially as the day approached. Because she takes only a limited number of clients per year, I felt like she was able to personally dedicate a lot of her time to us and never outsourced/delegated work to an assistant. She maintained close and very frequent contact with all of our vendors and I rarely needed direct e-mail contact with anyone. She let us ship a million decor items, gifts, etc directly to her since we were travelling from far away. She arranged our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner and helped schedule multiple events during the week of the wedding for out of town guests. She set up and maintained an online client portal that was unbelievable helpful for keeping track of vendors, payments, budget, guests, etc. She literally took care of it all. Her recommendations for all of our vendors were spot on and we were extremely happy with every aspect of our wedding day. Venue, music, photography, beauty, flowers...it was all just perfect. We threw a bit of a challenge into the wedding plans by deciding to have our ceremony and reception on two different parts of the moutain which required two different gondola rides. She coordinated the transportation perfectly and got everyone where they needed to be. This was in spite of my friends and family being lingerers - it was probably difficult to corral them constantly but she made it seem effortless. She was also flexible and helped arrange last minute changes and issues during the day (like when I forgot to hand the poems out to our readers, and when I decided on the spot to add more introductions during the reception). I can't say enough great things about our experience with Erica. Our wedding day was more special than we ever could have imagined, and we owe it all to her. Thank you Erica!

ts for a Denver area wedding venue, so I can say with a lot of experience working with wedding planners that Erica is truly first class among event planning professionals. From our very first interaction via email to the warm hug I received when we finally met in person at the shoot, Erica was beyond gracious, professional and friendly. I believe I described it best while telling a close friend that she along with her parents (as the shoot took place at her family's home in Leadville) define the true meaning of hospitality. Erica, your vision for the shoot was both inspired and unique, your creativity was off the charts and your attention to detail was absolutely flawless. I would recommend you to any couples looking for a friendly, and professional wedding planner with amazing creativity as a wedding designer. I feel truly blessed to have been a part of Karats and Onyx. Thank you!
