We had the opportunity to work with Erika this past December 2025, and we would recommend her services to anyone considering a wedding planner! She made all the difference in the final weeks leading up to the wedding day, and especially on the wedding day itself! We didn’t have to worry about last minute tasks and details, like setting out the place cards, setting up the welcome signs, and any other tasks needed to make sure the venue looked perfect on the day of. Erika made it so much easier to relax and enjoy ourselves! She went above and beyond, even offering to let us use her decorations she had purchased herself. Beyond just the day itself, Erika provided so many resources to help us make sure we were always on schedule with what needed to be done in the months prior to the wedding. She provided us with a timeline that outlined everything that should be accomplished in each month leading up to the wedding. She was easy to communicate with and always made herself available to schedule check in meetings and answer any questions we had. If you’re considering hiring a wedding planner, we cannot recommend Erika enough!!

I cannot imagine our wedding without Erika. From the moment we spoke with her, I knew she was the perfect fit for us. We spoke with several coordinators before her, but none of them even came close. Erika was warm, confident, incredibly detail oriented, and immediately made me feel calm and excited instead of overwhelmed. She stayed in constant communication leading up to the wedding, checked in regularly, and made sure every single detail was covered well in advance. She coordinated seamlessly with our vendors and was always thinking three steps ahead. Anytime stress popped up, Erika handled it with such calm and reassurance that I never once felt panicked. On the wedding day, everything went off flawlessly. I was able to fully enjoy every second because I knew Erika had everything handled. If you are looking for a planner who truly cares, who is on top of every detail, and who will make your wedding day seamless, Erika is absolutely the person you want by your side. She is exceptional and worth every penny and more. Hire her, hire her, hire her!!

This woman literally saved my life. My husband and I were on the fence about having a wedding planner because we both enjoy the process of planning things, but going with Erika to help with the wedding was one of the best decisions we made. We hired her for day/month of coordination and Erika went above and beyond for us. She is extremely organized and able to handle all of the big and small details that come with planning a wedding. With everything that goes into planning a wedding, it was such a relief to have someone as good as her at keeping track of all of the details! Erika is also a great communicator. Not only did she make sure to keep us up to speed on everything, but she also maintained great communication with our venue and other vendors. She also handled all of the annoying vendor details so my husband and I could focus on the fun part of planning. She was very accommodating with our schedule when it came time to have planning meetings, which was really appreciated due to our busy schedules. And on top of all of that, she is a super nice person and so very easy to get along with! My husband and I couldn’t be happier with her.

Bri, wow! I’m truly overwhelmed by your kind words. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this! It means the world to me to hear that I was able to make such a meaningful difference during such an important time in your lives. From the very beginning, it was such a joy to work with you both. Your love for each other, your excitement about the process, and your trust in me made my job an absolute pleasure. I’m so grateful that I got to be a small part of your beautiful day and that I could help ease the weight of the planning so you could truly enjoy the moments that matter most. You two are such a special couple, and I’ll always hold your wedding close to my heart. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness, love, and fun!
HIRE ERIKA!!!

WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN!!!! From literally the first second I spoke with Erika, to the last moments of my wedding, she was the most caring, helpful, personable, and calming person I could have asked for. It was literally as though she cared about my wedding just as much as I did. She quite literally took the vision I had of my day, and brought that vision to life more than I could have ever imagined. She will be your right hand woman, hype woman, and anything you need her to be. She handled all communications with vendors and pointed them in every single direction throughout the entire process, taking it off my plate. She took all my crazy ideas (timing the exact amount of seconds each bridal party couple got to walk down the aisle so I could walk out at a very specific time, hanging every luggage tag I had made for every guest in alphabetical order, picking up last min things I forgot, and everything in between...), and brought them all to life with a smile on her face! I had several vendors reach out to me and tell me she's the most organized and fun planner they have ever worked with, and I can see why! If you're thinking of hiring Erika, DO IT. I did not have a stress in the world the entire day because I knew every single detail I had planned was going to go perfectly because of her, and it actually did. There was not ONE single thing during my day that went wrong and I got everything I envisioned and it's truly because of her. HIRE THE PLANNER!!!!!!!! ALSO - we had Erika's husband, Hunter, as our photographer and LET ME TELL YOU that if you're thinking about hiring the two of them together, DO IT!!! They coordinated our timeline and worked SO WELL together - we had guests tell us all night how much fun our photographer was and how amazing our planner did. We LOVE you Erika, and are so thankful for everything you did for us!!! You might say... we were Enchanted to meet you!!!

Brooke, oh my goodness! This brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for these incredibly kind words! From the moment we connected, I knew your day was going to be something truly special, and I feel so honored to have been part of it. It means the world to hear that you felt calm, supported, and completely taken care of; that’s always my purpose behind everything I do. You had such a beautiful vision and it was a joy to bring it to life (luggage tags, aisle timing, and all!). Hunter and I absolutely loved being part of your wedding. The energy, the love, the details - it was all so unforgettable. We’re so grateful for you and will be cheering you on in this next chapter always! Enchanted to have met you!
