McLean Events

rvices would work best for us. We chose the "weekend of" coordination. Carrington was our assigned planner and she reached out to us. She was willing to meet on weekends and after hours due to our schedule with work and our 3 year old daughter. We had multiple phone calls and face to face meetings and while she did not design our wedding she was very helpful in where I should focus and where it wasn't as necessary. I dropped off car loads of centerpieces and ceremony decor to her office the week of the wedding. While I was glad to have it out of my house it is nerve wracking to spend all this time on something and hope you've done a good enough job conveying your thoughts so someone else would make it happen. AND SHE DID!! The ceremony was exactly how I envisioned it, the centerpieces came together beautifully, and Carrington was on top of making sure everyone was where they needed to be. I had compliments from family about her organization and personal way of dealing with the chaos of the rehearsal and wedding day. Guests complimented us on how smoothly things ran and how there weren't any gaps throughout our transition times. We came back from our honeymoon to a hand drawn and water color painting of my bouquet with a beautiful card from her. It's sweet touches like that that make working with Erin and Carrington such a pleasure. It was money well spent and we would do it again a thousand times over.

lanner. She will think of anything you haven't, and she's great to bounce ideas off of in the planning process. She is always quick to respond to emails and on the day of the wedding she was extremely quick and efficient and seemingly on top of every detail. I also worked with Carrington in the beginning of planning stages and I would have been just as confident working with her. She was very warm, organized, and creative. I only met with Erin briefly but she was lovely as well. She is running a truly top-notch events plannin company.

ly. On the day of the wedding, she ensured that everything went off without a hitch. She also had great relationships with most of our other vendors, so it was really easy to coordinate. She clearly knew what she was doing and seemed to have fun doing it. We really loved working with Emily!

they're supposed to be doing when they're supposed to be doing it. She's also good as having a feel for the flow of the wedding during the event and adjusting the timeline accordingly, if necessary. The transitions were seamless, and it was great to know that she was in charge of making sure the vendors arrived and contacting with any last-minute changes and situations. She gave my parents and me peace of mind about the wedding, and we didn't have to rush around during the last few days because she had everything under control! Also, our venue, Bay 7, said they provided a coordinator and we were initially told that the coordinator and Emily would be doing the same job, but we went ahead and hired her anyway. It was the right choice. There are some parts of their jobs that overlap, but not everything does. They worked together very nicely and we knew that everything was covered.

angle giddy wedding parties! Meeting with her before the wedding was valuable as well, she had lots of good ideas.

worth every penny! I also worked with her team througout the planning. They were all super professional and super helpful. Hire Erin McLean Events!

lating my likes and dislikes to the various vendors. I felt so relaxed the whole wedding weekend thanks to knowing that Erin was taking care of all the last minute details and would be there to handle anything that might happen on the wedding day. Erin was so good at talking me through the whole process as well. She was so positive and encouraging about everything and she was always able to let me know that the planning was on track- which decreased my stress level immensely. I very highly recommend Erin to anyone looking for a wedding planner- I cannot say enough about how wonderful she was to work with!

ended badly were she not there. The most amazing thing was her reception coordination. Having a party on a Battleship deck, outside, with a band, full catering and table seating was no small task. And, it rained. She helped coordinate getting the tables and tents re-arranged on the deck to accomodate the last-minute weather. The tables were beautiful and every last detail was taken care of. It didn't stop there... somehow she got everything we wanted to take with us packed up and in vehicles in NO time. After the event, I found our toasting flutes (which I was sure were lost) cleaned and neatly packed in our crates. Amazing!

makes working with her a dream to any bride to be. Erin took all the infamous “stress” that all brides are afraid they will experience the day of their wedding away from not only me, the bride, buy my mom as well. Planning a wedding is a stressful job for any bride, but working with Erin makes it a breeze and all of that “stress” is obsolete. The day of my wedding I was never once contacted by any of my vendors because Erin ensures that your DAY is all about you and she handles all of the details. And by details, I mean everything. I walked into my wedding venue with the biggest smile on my face. Not only because I had a pretty cute husband on my arm but because of the amazing job Erin did with ensuring all of my thoughts and ideas that I had in a notebook came to life. I could not have imagined my wedding day without Erin being a part of it. It was the best day of my life and I owe a lot of that to Erin! She made sure Will and I were able to sit down and enjoy our food (wedding’s make you hungry), I danced with my father for our song, the champagne was given to Will and I before the toasts, and that I was ok. There were so many other details I could list to let you know what an amazing experience it is to work with Erin, but just know, that when you hire Erin and her team for your wedding day, it will truly be the best day of your life and your guests will walk away saying, “Gosh, what a great wedding!” And when they say that, you will nod your head and know that the secret to that perfect day was Erin McLean Events!

iles away. To lower the stress level and make sure everything got done, we decided to hire a wedding planner. The minute we spoke to Erin, we knew she would be extremely helpful, organized and easy to work with. We hired Erin immediately and felt confident we had made a good choice. When it came time to select the venue, caterer, florist, DJ, etc, Erin did an excellent job of taking in our personal style and desires, then providing her top picks for vendors we would be interested in. She has a very intuitive characteristic about her and each time she presented vendor options, her selections were right on point with our tastes. We thought we would have trouble finding a savvy DJ in such a non-cosmopolitan area, but the first DJ Erin found for us could easily spin records in some of the chicest clubs in any big city. Erin worked closely with our caterer to make sure the food was of the highest quality, yet stayed in our budget. All of our guests raved about the food! Leading up to the wedding week, Erin was a godsend. She not only kept the bride sane, but took care of everything--including making appointments for the bridesmaids to go to the spa and helping the groom’s parents plan the rehearsal dinner. On the day of the wedding, Erin and her assistant, Lacey, worked very hard to ensure everything ran smoothly. If any issue ever came up, Erin proactively addressed the task at hand. She was always there to answer questions, give advice and responded to calls and emails quickly from afar. Erin decorated the reception venue with impeccable taste and our personal style--it was even better than we had envisioned. During the reception, she made sure that everything was taken care of, which let us feel like guests at our own wedding. This allowed us to visit with all of our friends and family, dance as much as we wanted to and take in the whole evening. We were stress-free and enjoyed the time with our family and friends. Everything ran seamlessly and our guests remarked that they had a great time. Our only complaint was that it had to end. All of our guests were blown away with the wedding and wanted to meet Erin. We highly recommend her! - Ryan & Heather Morris

attention, attention of which I knew I couldn’t give on the wedding day. I found Erin through many other referrals, talked with her about my wedding schedule and how I needed her help. Erin assembled a detailed timeline of the day’s events, worked with every other vendor for precise timing and details, and followed up with me to let me know that everything was taken care of. Erin has a great approach of making sure the bride is fully taken care of and if anything goes wrong the bride would never know. I really appreciated this as nervousness set in on the wedding day, it was great to know that everything was being taken care of by Erin. Would highly recommend!
