It is hard to find words to describe how awesome Erin is; she is simply incredible. We hired her to be our event planner leading up to the wedding as well as our day-of coordinator and we were so impressed with her work every step of the way.

To summarize what I've written below, Erin is dependable, creative, competent, flexible, efficient, organized and just generally great to be around. Her hard work leading up to and on the day of our wedding allowed my husband and I to spend the entire weekend present and in the moment with each other and our families. We literally didn't worry about one thing on our wedding day because we knew if something came up, Erin would handle it.
To give some context, our wedding was in a very remote area in the mountains/desert outside of Tucson. The ceremony was held at my parent's home and the reception was at a nearby rural horse ranch (think cowboy dive bar).
Having seen examples of Erin's work and loving all of it, we were completely open to her aesthetic and design vision from the get-go; we basically just let her do her thing with the flowers, decorations, lighting, etc. and we couldn't have been more impressed with the results. She totally understood how we wanted to transform a slightly run down ranch into a magical, unique and unforgettable experience, and she executed that vision flawlessly.
From day one, Erin was incredibly responsive and always available by phone, text and email. We really appreciated that in the beginning stages of planning, she helped us dream big and then as our timeline progressed, she helped us narrow down our priorities to keep the cost within our budget.
She made multiple site visits prior to the wedding to ensure that the day would run smoothly and that all of our vendors would have the logistical support they needed. Our reception site was a bit of a challenge to work with at times, but she led the charge with frequent communication which really took the stress off of us. She also checked in with us in the months leading up to the wedding to make sure we had done unglamorous things like buy our wedding bands and get a marriage license (both of which had slipped our minds! Thanks, Erin!)
Erin designed our tent, flowers, boutonnieres, lighting, candles and decorations and our venue was truly sparkling and magical after she was done. She also added some decorations to the ceremony space and our Airstream rental to give it the perfect desert vibe we were after.
Since we live out of state, we really relied of Erin for vendor recommendations. We ended up hiring nearly everyone she suggested (caterer, cupcake vendor, DJ, tent/supply vendors and hair/makeup artist (all of whom we LOVED!)). In addition to those vendors, she also helped coordinate our late night taco truck, bus transportation to/from the venue, photographer and photo booth staff. The night ended up being incredibly windy and she made some last-minute adjustments to make sure everyone stayed safe and comfortable. Somehow, despite all of this work, she still checked in with my husband and I throughout the night with a smile on her face to make sure we had enough food/water/bevs and address any issues that arose. I'm telling you - she is the best!
We truly had an ideal experience working with Erin and we are forever grateful at how smoothly and beautifully everything turned out.
