“Working with Erica was one of the best decisions my husband and I made during our entire wedding journey. From day one, her logistical expertise stood out. She has a well-structured, thoughtful process that kept us on track with every decision—from selecting vendors at the right times to managing key deadlines. With our busy careers, this level of organization was invaluable and kept the entire planning experience stress-free.
Erica also shines in budget management. Because of her deep industry experience, she quickly spotted opportunities to save money without sacrificing quality or design. She regularly updated us on how we were tracking against the budget and offered informed recommendations whenever we chose to splurge in one area. Thanks to her, we stayed financially grounded while still achieving a beautifully elevated wedding.
When it came to design, Erica worked magic. I asked for a candlelit dinner that felt intimate, warm, and elegant—an elevated family gathering. What started as a guest list of 50 somehow grew to 119, yet Erica still delivered a ceremony and reception space that felt deeply personal and inviting. Her ability to scale the design while maintaining the feeling I wanted was nothing short of remarkable.
Her vendor management was another standout. Erica was our advocate every step of the way. She didn’t hesitate to negotiate contract terms, clarify miscellaneous charges, or push back when something didn’t align with our vision. Her long-standing relationships in the industry meant she could confidently guide us toward the best vendors for our style and needs. We always felt protected, informed, and supported.
On top of all of her professional strengths, Erica is simply a warm, responsive, and genuinely thoughtful person. She answered every question promptly and thoroughly, made us feel completely taken care of, and brought a sense of calm confidence to every interaction. Erica is absolutely worth the investment—especially for couples with demanding schedules.
If you want a planner who is talented, trustworthy, detail-oriented, budget-savvy, design-forward, and truly invested in your wedding vision, Erica at EliteEventz is the one. Hiring her was the best gift we could have given ourselves. Our wedding day was PERFECT from beginning to end and there is not a single thing we would have changed. We have Erica to thank for this!”
