Erica at Lavish & Lovely went above and beyond to give us our perfect wedding day. From the initial planning, following up with vendors, day of logistics and execution of the event, Erica was on top of every aspect and allowed us to completely focus on our friends and family. We cannot imagine the thought of having to put our day together without the help of Erica. We highly recommend Lavish & Lovely so you can also have your perfect wedding day!
Erica was fantastic from start to finish! She met with our vendors to ensure that everyone understood timelines to have a seamless wedding for Josh and Megan!
My daughter and I hired Lavish & Lovely after we’d already committed to her wedding venue and made most of our vendor selections. At first, we thought “we’ve totally got this” and did not feel like we needed planning help. Then I started waking up in the middle of the night worried about coordinating the details. Would we be able to communicate our vision to the florist? Did we even have the right vision? Would we make the right food choices? How about orchestrating the ceremony timeline, the photographer, music/lighting set-up all within hours of the event – or while participating in the event? It was feeling like a complete fire drill. Then we met Erica Sanders, the stress absorber! Erica’s experience, great judgment, excellent taste, and strong organizational skills gave us immediate peace of mind, allowing us to focus on being bride and mother-of-bride. Hiring her was by far the best decision we made in this entire process!
Any questions?
Erica has been nothing but a godsend! When things went wrong, she fixed it with her bag of tricks. There is nothing that she isn't prepared for, even when the groom forgets to pack deodorant for himself. Whenever anyone asks how I relaxed at my wedding, I say, "Thanks to Erica!"
Lavish and Lovely has the perfect understanding of what a wedding should be. Tasteful, unique and tailored to each couple. From out of the box ideas (covering photo-repellent plastic coverings for outdoor wedding venues with elegant, sheer drapery) to simple touches that go a long way, Erica has an idea for everything to make your wedding the day you always imagined it would be. I don't think anyone could have helped me more than this team. Highly recommend.
We’ve had the best experience working with Erica and Lavish & Lovely. You definitely want someone with her expertise and amazing eye to partner with. I am so happy to work with her and cannot recommend both her enough!
Working with Erica and the Lavish & Lovely team has been an amazing experience, from start to finish. She has a careful attention to personalized details and exceptional organizational skills. I would not think twice about hiring her for your next event -- wedding, baby shower, bridal shower, birthday party, etc. You will not be disappointed!
I’ve had the privledge of working with Erica on a variety of events over the years but the most illuminating was planning our weddings at the same time. Erica has the ability to deliver on a vision while ensuring you stay on budget and have fun! She has that rare mix of creativity and proven financial saavy that make her a phenomenal partner when choosing whom to collaborate with to turn your dreams into your reality! Couldn’t recommend Erica and the entire Lavish & Lovely team enough!

Owner
Hi! I'm Erica Sanders, owner and lead planner at Lavish & Lovely and for the last decade I've built a career in marketing, working in New York City to help companies build their brands and connect with their consumers in a more personalized approach - including events! My passion for event planning developed early on in my career and fully blossomed once I went through the process of planning my own wedding.
Wedding planning should be fun. I love working with brides to create a vision for their day that is uniquely tailored to their style, both as a bride and as a couple.
