Erika Sandoval Events

e was beyond helpful on the wedding weekend. Without her and her sweet staff, I don't know how my daughter and I would have survived. Erika is a consummate professional but, also, just a wonderful woman who you want by your side during this process. Her services are worth every penny! Thank you, Erika, for designing and executing a dream wedding for my girl and her guy!

entire planning process. She has a solid network of recommended vendors and a lot of experience that helped us pick the right ones for us. Erika and her whole team went above and beyond to help us out with anything that we needed. It gave us peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy the day. We wouldn't have had such a perfect wedding without her! Connect with her, you won't regret it! *Photos by Ashley Joyce Photography

he Colorado area. She is worth every penny, if not, more than what her prices are. Each vendor we selected were from a list of her preferred vendors and every single one of them did not disappoint at all. When I tell you that we are extremely grateful for Erika, I mean it. It was such a comforting/easy experience knowing how well she knew each of the vendors we worked with because it made for a smoother process. Everyone knows Erika and I kid you not when we told a vendor “oh Erika is our planner” everyones responses were “OMG we love Erika, everything will be planned to a T, you literally have nothing to worry about” and after hearing that over and over again I couldn’t agree more! I absolutely love how Erika genuinely cared to get to know us and every conversation we had made me feel listened and appreciated. She truly listened and brought us so much ease during the whole wedding planning process! The amount of communication and organization she put into our wedding was nothing short from amazing. She truly will be 100% devoted into putting your happiness 1st and to your vision coming to life. She will literally be there with you from beginning to end and will ensure every little detail gets crossed (even if you think you thought of everything). I promise you, you will not go wrong by hiring Erika as your wedding coordinator! She truly is THE best of the best at what she does and there is no one else like her 😊

came she would be the perfect planner for our special day. I had no idea at the time just how much of an integral part of our day she would become. We had big dreams of a beautiful outdoor wedding with a tented reception in the mountains. The whole planning process was seamless because of Erika. We trusted her with our vision and she made it come to life! During this process she talks a lot about the 'dream team' of vendors. We trusted the process and hired people that she recommended but didn't think too much about the importance of it until the day of our wedding.  I arrived on site to go to the bridal suite at 8 A.M. to find the reception tent ripped down the middle and on the ground. I didn't grasp the severity of what was happening until a representative of the venue came to the suite and started talking about the possibility of moving the reception inside. This is where Erika came in. She had been handling the situation down at the tent but came up to the bridal suite and assured me that moving inside was not plan B, but plan Z. That is when Erika's 'dream team' of vendors really showed up! Every single person there showed up in waves to help the cause. I can not even say all the obstacles they overcame because I was not made aware of the full extent of the situation. Erika handled everything and only gave me the 'need to know' information. I was able to enjoy my morning getting ready while everyone was doing the absolute most to make sure this wedding went off without a hitch. By some miracle, and a lot of hard work, Erika pulled off the impossible. By the time guests arrived you would have never guessed the tent was completely reconstructed and new layout created. Erika did the impossible. If it were not for her, our wedding day would have looked a lot differently. If you do one thing in your wedding planning, hire Erika. You will not regret it.

or the event we discovered photos of the Wewatta Bridge over Cherry Creek. I immediately had a vision but no idea how to make it a reality. My daughter in law had already hired Erika as her wedding planner and was thrilled with her, so I reached out to Erika for help. Not being from Denver I was completely dependent upon Erika to execute this vision. She listened to my ideas and understood what I hoped to accomplish. She meticulously prepared a mood board and sought out the perfect vendors to transform the Wewatta Bridge into something out of a fairy tale. Every detail was perfect. A beautiful white tent, Wisteria floating above our candlelit tables, softly lit lanterns casting a glow all around and gorgeous white florals everywhere. Erika and Taryn from the Wandering Poppy Company transformed a bridge into a breathtaking setting. Coohills restaurant’s delicious food and amazing staff surpassed our expectations and helped make the evening a complete success! There was not a single detail overlooked. This was a huge undertaking and unbelievably not one issue or problem arose. Thank you Erika for creating a magical evening that will not be forgotten by anyone in attendance.

ontracted with her, we had done a lot of the initial planning like choosing colors, vendors, and invitations, so the coordination package was perfect for us. It was the best money we spent on our wedding. Our lead planner and assistant, Jacquelyn and Heidi, allowed us to relax and have fun on our day instead of managing all of our vendors. They are kind, fun people who we enjoyed having with us, and Erika’s planning trackers helped us stay on top of our wedding tasks as the day approached. We are so happy we worked with Erika and her team and cannot recommend them enough!

wrong. Not only did Erika and her team pull something together, they gave us everything we could have wanted and more. We live in Michigan and had a dream to be married at the top of a mountain in Colorado, which made it very difficult to plan ourselves which is why we had hired a planner in the first place. After speaking to Erika for the first time, our anxieties were eased and from then on we had a flawless process of planning our dream wedding. She is one of the most organized and detail oriented people I have ever met, which is crucial to planning a wedding (especially in only six months time). Once the wedding weekend came around, we were able to show up, spend time with family and friends and completely enjoy our time together to the fullest. Wedding day was flawless and it was straight out of a dream. Erika and her team became our family and we cannot thank them enough!

g planning was paramount in our process of planning a wedding, ultimately making it less stressful and manageable. She gave us best practices and insights, offering guidance for topics we would not have thought about on our own. Having a coordinator who kindly sent us reminders when things were due was great. The client portal had multiple documents that were very helpful in informing our planning and made it easy to share planning duties across both people in the couple. Given that both of us work full-time in busy jobs, we appreciated streamlined planning. Erika and her team made sure that on the day of our wedding we could enjoy the day and soak it all in. We did not want a rushed wedding day and Erika ensured the timeline had buffer time to avoid rushing. Erika's ability to navigate two cultures and languages (English and Spanish) was perfect! We wanted to ensure all family members and guests who spoke Spanish felt welcomed and a part of the day, and Erika’s bilingual language skills and bicultural identity resulted in that inclusivity. She understood our wants and needs as we blended Mexican and American cultures into our wedding day. We highly recommend Erika and her team for your wedding planning needs!

t we had to worry about anything because she was always on top of it. It afforded us both much more peace than we had anticipated throughout the entire planning process. And the result was the dreamiest weekend either of us will ever have! We've consistently heard great things from family and friends who were blown away by the wedding weekend itself. Every cent you spend with Erika and her team is worth it!

ts). Typically in big Mexican-Quinceñeras, the parents are the host, cooks, event staff and run around doing everything except enjoying the party. This time I wanted things to be different, so I started to look for help. When I talked to Erika, I knew I needed her services, including day coordinator and event design. Thanks to all the vendors (see list below), Erika recommended and knew from her experience working in the industry. Our daughters' quince was incredible, with gorgeous decorations and ideas. Everything that day ran smoothly and on point. I had a blast working with Erika and her team. They are incredible, attentive, responsible, encouraging, and so much fun. I talk to Erika so much that now I miss our phone calls! I couldn't have asked for anything different! Erika loves what she does and is truly a professional.

r wedding day the best it can possibly be and it shows in her work. She also has a lot of great connections with other vendors so that made it easy to find the other vendors we needed. She was there for us to answer texts and emails throughout the entire process. Erika has an eye for design and helped make our wedding stunning. She also did an amazing job keeping everyone in line on the wedding day and completely taking the stress off of us. Our wedding was the best day ever because of her. I highly recommend Erika to anyone who wants help planning a wedding.

hat we would’ve done without her! Highly recommend!

shows! You can tell that she doesn’t take any of this lightly - she is super invested in your wedding day and planning process even though she has other weddings and clients. She makes you feel like you’re her only one and at the top of her priority list! I also want to touch on her organization. I felt like everything was always in order, written down, and remembered. I had the privilege to hangout with Erika outside of wedding planning as she received a service from me, and she is also extremely pleasant to be around. She is super light hearted, easy going and very personable! All things you want in someone who you’re instilling trust in on one of the biggest days of your life! Especially when you work with someone for 12+ months sometimes. I will also say that I had Erika’s biggest bridal party to date (24 bridesmaids and groomsmen) and she was a pro. She knew when to reel in the party and crack it down, and when to go with the flow. She kept everything super smooth on the day of the wedding! I didn’t know anything that may have gone wrong, nothing. She handled absolutely everything. I was a very anxious bride. I had questions about everting, was stressed about deadlines, timing, how things would come together - everything. Erika eased my mind about it all and never got impatient with me even when she probably could have. I would choose Erika over and over again. I will recommend her to everyone and always consider her a huge part of our special day.

th the vision I had for our big day. What blew me away throughout the planning process was her efficiency, organization, and excellent communication. I knew I needed the help of a wedding planner when I realized I was in over my head trying to plan a wedding in 9 months, and that my very rustic and masculine mountain venue didn’t match my aesthetic taste. Erika made this process seamless and helped me transform each space of our venue into the elegant and feminine space of my dreams! Like many brides, I was stressed and busy juggling many things at once amongst planning a wedding. Erika was always there to keep us on track and provide guidance when needed. She never lost patience or professionalism with my inability to make a decision, or my ever changing mind 🤣. Whatever Erika recommended, I did willingly and without question because her professional judgement is so evident in her work. Our wedding day was such a success and went off without a hitch, and I attribute most of this to her planning and talent. I want all the brides reading this to know that unfortunately, there will always be things that go wrong no matter how on top of things you are, but Erika was always a step ahead of any unforeseen issues with her incredible problem solving and solutions. I promise that if you book Erika, your day will be everything you dream of and more. Last and certainly not least, Erika is a wonderful person and I will miss her dearly. We cannot thank her enough!

ater so she took it in her own hands (without telling me or my bridal party so I wouldn't be freaking out) and ran to the store and picked up cases of water! She cares so much about how you're feeling and will do everything in her power to make your day special! So much so one of my bridesmaids the day of my wedding was asking her to be her even planner! I can't thank Erika and her team enough for being such a huge part of my day and making it so beautiful! Not to mention all the complements I got on the way it was decorated all because of Erika!!!

idn't. She provided us with tools and techniques in the planning process and answered any and all questions we had. She confirmed all info dates and times with our vendors and created a timeline that went off without a hitch. I thought the days leading up to the wedding would be really stressful but they truly were not. We knew exactly what we needed to do and Erika took care of the rest. The week of the wedding I focused on my appointments (hair, nails, spray tan etc.) and that was it! Erika takes diligent notes and is extremely organized so if questions/issues arise she has all documentation ready. She was priced competitively and offered more than anyone else we spoke with. She's also really easy to work with and talk to, you feel like your friend is just helping you out on the day of! Seriously, book Erika. Add photos

celebration July 2021. We couldn't have done it without Erika. She guided us through every step of moving the dates and essentially replanning it all almost a year later. Erika pays attention to all the details, dates, timelines and everything you wouldn't think of. We got married in Vail, CO but live about 6 hours away in New Mexico. Her team on our wedding day made everything go so smooth. She made sure everything was taken care of, vendors were directed, guests were guided. Most of our guest list, wedding party and family was from out of state so not having anything to worry about when it came to setting up or coordinating decor, vendors, food etc was soooo nice. We got to enjoy our wedding day and carry it out stress free. We had a huge wedding party and she was so patient from the rehearsal to gathering everyone for wedding party photos. Her detailed wedding day timelines are extremely helpful and useful for all the vendors, bridal party and family. She also has a checklist for everything and even a tip guide! We are both very busy so having all of her resources helped keep us oragnized and on track so we didn't miss anything coming uo to our big day. She goes above and beyond and is always there to answer questions, guide decisions, give options, upgrades and has a great wedding design and decor eye! Not only is Erika a great planner but she is great to be around. We enjoyed all of our interactions with her and she made the wedding planning process fun and seamless. We would recomend Erika to anyone getting married in Colorado.

ortunity to go back in time and start wedding planning all over again, I would still start with hiring Erika first. I was not the best at wedding planning… I put work and everything else in my life before wedding planning, and was hard to work with at times due to my lack of communication and focus, but despite that Erika never lost her patience with me. She humbled me when she felt I was not right and supported and validated me when she felt I needed it most. The most important things for me when I began wedding planning were representation and accessibility. My sister is an wheelchair and the world just wasn’t built accessible, so Erika went above and beyond leading up to our wedding to make sure there was enough adequate space for my sisters chair in the venue, that she entered before anyone else so she could get situated comfortably, that paths were accesible to her, and never lost focus of how important my sister being comfortable was to me. Secondly, representation - I come from a Mexican family and I wanted everything to be as traditional as possible and wanted largely all the staff to speak Spanish (including her) so my family never felt like they couldn’t speak up and she completely understood the importance. Erika pushed me when I needed it and backed off when she knew I wasn’t in the headspace to wedding plan. I appreciate all her support, her attention to detail, and her relentless attitude to make sure everything was perfect. I could go on and on about how supported I felt and how comfortable and relaxed I was the day of our wedding because I knew Erika would handle anything that came up. I am so happy that when I look back and think about the happiest day of my life I know it was as amazing as it was thanks to Erika and all her support and hard work. Gracias por todo, de todo corazón.

ic and living out of state, we needed help. She quickly stepped in and let her expertise shine. She provided us with a detailed client portal/wedding guide. She connected us with the best of the best venders and worked with the venders we already hired. At the wedding rehearsal, the wedding party was impressed with Erika. She provided great insight for the ceremony and also a pocket wedding schedule for all VIP guest. The day of the wedding, Erika had it all under control. I even tried to help with something and she politely told me no. Everyone got to enjoy the day thanks to Erika. I also pulled Erika to dance for a song and she was a great sport! The service was amazing and stress free. There is not enough words to express my gratitude to Erika. Important to note that you should budget for a coordinator. Erika hands down is worth it!

do was show up. She has such a great eye for detail and is a great listener! If you want your wedding day to look like everything you ever wanted I would highly recommend Erika! ❤️

estrictions and we had to cancel for the second time. I came across Erika’s Instagram page and I immediately fell in love with her style. I reached out to Erika and she was very quick to respond and provide detail. September was special to my fiancé and I and we wanted to keep September as our elopement month. With only 30 days or so Erika assured me she could get it done and she sure did and exceeded every expectation of mine and more. Erika picked great vendors to work with and we are so pleased with them as well. It was truly a blessing to have Erika plan our elopement. She brought my vision to life and paid attention to every detail I had in mind. She provided quick responses and always made sure I was in the loop of the process and keeping me up to date. I had no worries at all as Erika was always 10 steps ahead. She is truly talented at what she does and is wonderful to work with. I can’t thank her enough for making my day so special and it was truly a Pinterest dream come true! I highly recommend Erika as your wedding planner, she is truly the best and sweetest person!

” sort of elopement style minus the actual elopement to celebrate and document our day. She rallied together some amazing vendors to take my simple idea to an exquisite wedding picnic with every detail tended to. We are so happy with the turn out and it made some unfortunate circumstances very memorable and we will treasure the photos and moments she helped create. We can’t wait for our big celebration next year. We highly recommend Erika to any bride and groom! She is detailed, honest, timely & offered her expert opinion when I asked her a thousand different questions and gave her a million different ideas. We are so thankful to have her as our planner. She keeps everything on track and is on top of every detail. Our wedding is out of town for us and most guests. Erika made the planning process smooth and enjoyable while planning from afar.

fast everything goes. Erika took that weight off my shoulders. Erika and her team helped me with my whole wedding process. She helped me plan my wedding, she helped with my decorations, and she was there setting up the day of the wedding and even putting away all my personal decorations. Erika was very helpful during my rehearsal and even more the day of the wedding. She knew exactly what I wanted and was very patient and kind. She made a detailed timeline which helped the DJ and photographer and thanks to her everything ran smoothly and on time. All my guests were very happy and impressed with the wedding, but most importantly my husband and I were able to actually enjoy our own wedding day. I can't thank Erika enough and if for one second you think you don't need a wedding planner - well, you do! And you need Erika! She's amazing.

esponding to my millions of emails and texts I sent her (quickly responding), and was always there to reassure me. Erika is SO good at what she does. She knows the wedding planning industry like the back of her hand. She helped with everything!!!! The day of the wedding went so smoothly, my husband and I nor did our family have to lift a finger! She took care of everything from setting up our reception area, gathering our wild wedding party for the ceremony and grand entrance, dealt with mishaps without even having to tell us, etc, etc. She eased my mind through every step of the way from helping to know what size linens to order, to making sure all of the appropriate vendors would be at the rehearsal at the correct time, all the way to making the most detailed and organized day of timeline EVER! She is so optimistic, helpful, organized, punctual, and perfect! I truly believe our wedding was as perfect as it was because of her! I will definitely be recommending her to all of my friends!

work seamlessly together to create a hiccup-free day. This lady has high-quality industry connections, people. She communicates well, provides a check list of things to do before the big day to make sure you're on track, created the most detailed day of timeline and had an emergency kit complete with just about anything you might need on your wedding day. She also made sure that we were fed on our wedding day! Literally came over with a plate of food for us to eat while we mingled with our loved ones. Who else can you count on to make sure you're not famished on the biggest day of your life?? Bottomline--you want a stressful free month leading up to your wedding and a stressful free wedding day. Budget for Erika. You will not regret the decision.
