Organized, responsive and experienced

I am an officiant who worked with Proud to Plan on a recent wedding. I work with a lot of vendors and get to see how they are 'behind the scenes'. Erin Proud and her team are the best. They are completely organized, with every detail covered. They are easy to work with and make sure to attend to every aspect the wedding.

Wedding Day Planner

Erin and her team were an absolute pleasure to work with. From the very beginning, Erin was super responsive with all the emails and questions I had for her throughout my planning. Her team went over and beyond on our wedding day to make my husband and I feel like king and queen. I was so relaxed because of them. They absolutely crushed all of our details, decor, and all the behind the scenes coordinating to make our day a dream come true. I also included her team to help facilitate our rehearsal and it was super helpful and such a smooth process! I highly recommend investing in Erin and her team to help you plan your day and you too, will find it's the best day ever! Thank you!!

Best Decision We Made for Our Wedding!

Both my Husband and I agree that hiring Proud to Plan was the best decision we made for our wedding. We had a 19 month engagement and through that entire time, Erin was there to answer questions and calm our fears. She went through every detail ahead of our final meetings and was pivotal in our final venue walkthrough to make sure the day went as we wanted instead of the set approach the venue preferred. On the actual day of, our lead coordinator, Sammi, and her team (Katie and Grace) were absolute rockstars. As a very Type-A bride, I was able to relax and even if we had questions or concerns, Sammi and team had already solved the problem before we even noticed. We felt so taken care of by the team and they helped manage our very hectic family during all of the excitement. The day truly would not have been possible without them.

Must Have for Stress-free Planning

Erin and her team of professionals were everything we needed to help make our special day as stress-free and as smooth as possible. Everyone on their team was extremely responsive from Day 1 and provide recommendations and tidbits for other vendors that made the selection process much easier. On the day of, her team managed the catering staff, and directed the 6 other vendors on site the day to ensure the venue was exactly how we pictured/discussed in our meetings, making our dream wedding come true. All while also specifically attending to my husband and me to ensure we were well fed and hydrated through the entire day, leading right up to our departure.

Wedding Coordinator Extraordinaire

Hiring Erin and her team was truly one of the BEST decisions we made in the wedding planning process. We likely wouldn’t have considered using a wedding coordinator if our venue didn’t require it, but in hindsight this is something that I now recommend to all my soon-to-be married friends.
From the first time we spoke on the phone, I could tell that Erin was a great match for us. She is direct but approachable, flexible but organized down to the most minute detail, and is just a fountain of knowledge that was crucial to us as two people with limited wedding-related experience.
The whole weekend of the wedding, I kept commenting how weird (but relieving!) it felt to not be “doing” anything. I’m definitely someone who has a hard time handing over control, but I felt so confident in Erin and her team’s attention to detail and understanding of what was important to us as a couple. Erin and Zack managed a day-of rainstorm with ease and kept everything running smoothly the whole night, including sending us home with plenty of cake and snacks :) She has my 100% recommendation!

Wonderfully helpful

Erin was wonderful! She crossed every T and dotted every I. When we lost our wedding venue 3 months before the wedding (due to management issues), she helped us find a new spectacular option. Our day-of coordinator, Amanda, was awesome. She was cool and in control, and I loved having her by my side throughout the craziness of the day.

Do not get married without Proud to Plan

I can't even begin to express how thankful am for Erin and her team. I knew I would never get married without her, and I tell that to all of my friends and family that get engaged. Not only does Erin make the planning process fun and exciting, she makes your day of event experience FLAWLESS. I didn't have to worry or stress about a single thing, she made sure every single detail, from décor to timeline, was in place. So many of my guests complimented how smooth and perfect the day went and that is totally attributed to Erin's work. We can not thank her enough for everything she did for us. Don't plan your wedding without her!

The Best of the Best!! Proud to Plan will exceed expectations!

We feel our wedding was as close to a fairy tale as them come, and that we owe so much of the smooth sailing to Erin and her fabulous team! We are overwhelmed with gratitude for having Erin by our side throughout the process and specifically on our wedding day. I think what I really admired and enjoyed about working with Erin was how I not only felt 100% confident and trusting of her and her team because they were ALWAYS so on it, but I really felt like I had a best friend in Erin walking us through the rehearsal and wedding day trying to keep all of us in line! Erin made everything so incredibly personal and it really shined. She always kept a big smile on her face and she was so great at directing us when needed and keeping us calm and collected when those unexpected moments happened. Courtney was also incredibly kind and patient throughout the day. She helped us stay on our timeline as much as we could and lended a hand with any little thing. We also had a big surprise duet planned, and Erin and her team effortlessly helped us make it a surprise success! We knew it would mean so much to our parents especially and were so thrilled that it went off without a hitch. Our guests are still talking about it. Proud to Plan was THE best investment we could have made for our wedding day! Recommended 1000x over! Erin Proud is a ROCK STAR!

Proud to Plan is the Best

Let me start by saying that we were very hesitant about investing in a wedding planner...did we really need one? Well now that we look back on our wedding day, I can’t express how grateful we were to have one and most importantly that we chose Proud to Plan. We spoke to a few planners but Proud to Plan came highly recommended and was a clear winner for us.

From our first conversation, we immediately felt a connection with Erin. We bonded over sports and music and knew she and her team would work well with our vendors, which was very important to us as well. Erin and Shannon gave us a lot of amazing suggestions and thought of literally everything possible, many of which we would never have thought of. They were beyond organized and went through every possible detail on our calls leading up to our wedding. On our wedding day, the team truly took the lead and made sure everything ran perfectly. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy every moment of our special day while Shannon, Erin and the team took care of any snafus that arose. They made sure our drinks were always filled and we were ok, our VIPs were taken care of, and all our vendors were in order and synchronized.

Proud to Plan is truly a well-oiled machine of professional planners. They listened to us, worked exactly with our wedding vision, and were there throughout our day with their bag of tricks and binder making sure everything was perfect and so that we could enjoy everything, and thanks to Proud to Plan it was. We would recommend them 100 times over and are so thankful we chose them, they were well worth the investment! Thank you guys!!!!

Erin & Proud to Plan team are amazing!!!

Erin and team are amazing! She was able to create a dream wedding for us and we are so happy that we had Erin helping us to spearhead the wedding.

Erin is sharp, on top of everything, and so wonderful to work with! We had several meetings leading up to the wedding, and Erin was instrumental in coming up with great ideas, and letting us know what we needed to prioritize. However, the week of the wedding is when she really helped us pull together the beautiful fall wedding we dreamed about! With last minute changes, Erin handled everything like a dream, kept us on track, and executed a flawless wedding that our family/friends are still raving about! Erin is a badass and we couldn't have imagined our wedding day without her!

Absolutely exceptional!

All I can say is WOW - Erin is absolutely the best on every level, and everyone should work with her. I cannot possibly say enough about how exceptional her coordinating was. From the moment we first met with her to consider whether or not to enlist her services, the bride, groom, and our families felt completely at ease, knowing she was going to ensure everything not only went smoothly - but exceeded our expectations. She went *so far above and beyond* what we felt like we were actually paying her for: the amount we paid would have been well worth it if she'd done half of what we wound up doing for us. She recommended vendors who were equally stellar (and quite good financial values, helping us stay on point with our budget), and her whole team made the day a total dream. We would never have found our unbelievable florist without her guidance, and Erin's connections to different vendors she has worked with before and built strong relationships with helped grease the wheels so that we were treated like VIPs by everybody along the way. Erin was an absolute godsend in terms of sanity when we were planning from afar, and she dedicated an inordinate amount of time to making sure she fully understood what our vision and aesthetic were so that she could essentially execute it for us without us having to do anywhere near as much work as I would have thought with the tier of package that we purchased from her (not the top tier). As an extremely busy bride and groom not living locally, we were concerned about staying on track with to-do's, and she kept track of everything for us, never proving overbearing but at the same time always being completely available and subtly ensuring we were on target so that nothing could fall through the cracks. And on the day of, she made everything absolutely flawless. For instance, there was an issue with the limo arrival that I never even knew about until days after. In short, hire Proud to Plan - you will NOT regret it!

Erin and her team are amazing!

When I first got engaged my mom said "Allison I want to give you a gift of a wedding planner at least for the day of the wedding." I said I really didn't think it was necessary as my Mom and I are pretty organized and detailed oriented people. Well let me tell you I am so thankful she did and I am even more thankful it was Erin Proud! When I say this is one bad to the bone boss lady that's an understatement! She was absolutely amazing to work with from the beginning to end! A ton of positive energy, super responsive, so organized, and really just cared from the minute I met her. The day of the wedding she had Shannon and Courtney helping her, they were such a bonus and kept checking to see if myself, husband, and anyone in the bridal party needed anything. I didn't have to deal with anything the day of the wedding. Erin and her team knew exactly what we wanted and executed it perfectly if there were any minor hiccups I didn't even know about it. Also they decorated the backdrop of our ceremony and the fireplace to perfection. I can't thank Erin and her team enough for helping to make our wedding day the BEST DAY EVER!

Such an amazing team!

Working with Erin was one of the best choices we made for our wedding day!! Erin was 100% on top of every detail from the day we signed the contract and it took SO much stress off knowing a professional was handling all the details.

We referenced Proud to Plan’s planning packet throughout the whole process. Timeline? In the packet. Tipping questions? In the packet! Not that I didn’t email Erin on a regular basis! :D Once we got closer to the wedding I sat down with Erin once in person and then my fiancé and I had two Google Hangouts for the last planning meetings. It was really nice to work with people tech savvy enough to not have any issues with this - especially since we were planning from CA. Soon after our meetings Erin would have updated her master sheet with all the new details and highlight everything we still had open. It was so helpful!

Now for day of. Total godsend. Erin n and her two assistants Stephanie and Shannon were totally on it. One assistant was dedicated just to me and my fiancé, one was dedicated to rental deliveries, and Erin was there overseeing everyone. We still laugh that Stephanie never said a word about it but just had two umbrellas hanging on her arm for our entire photo session (so hours) just in case. But it just shows you how prepared they are!

Book Erin and her team. They are amazing and will make your life so much easier and do a stellar job!

This was the easiest and best money that I spent on my wedding! I decided to book Proud to Plan for Day of Services and they offered sooo much more than that. We worked closely together for the entire month before my wedding to make sure that every detail was perfect. Erin's team ensured that any and all of my concerns were addressed day of (including last minute weather checks, reception details, microphone placements, last minute rentals, etc.) I did not have to worry about anything due to this team! THEY ARE AMAZING. Book them now to ensure that you get to enjoy your day with absolutely no worries!!

Hiring Proud to Plan was the best money I spent on my wedding, hands down. While I just used the service for their wedding coordination, Erin and Amanda were always available to answer my questions and suggest vendors where I had gaps, months before my wedding. On the day of our wedding, I felt so relaxed and stress-free because I knew Amanda and team had everything under control - and our wedding was perfect because of Proud to Plan! Could not recommend them more. Thank you!!!

Erin and her team are amazing! The To Have and To Hold package was a lifesaver and a bargain. I live in Maryland - my daughter and the wedding were in NY. Erin made just one site visit and was able to pull it all together. She kept us on track for the final months and made sure that everything was a go in the last few weeks. We didn't have to sweat any of the details during the weekend of the wedding. She is the consummate professional and so lovely to work with. I've used planners in the past - Erin is by far the best. I'm going to recommend her to everyone I know!

Proud to Plan was amazing! We hired them as our day of coordinators and were so glad we did! They were so helpful and responsive throughout the entire planning process, offering insight and assistance, and were on top of every detail. I didn’t have to worry about a thing the day of the wedding, and they confirmed all our vendors the week of so we didn’t have any last minute stress. We would highly recommend Proud to Plan!

Best.Decision.Ever hands down! We would give Proud to Plan 6 stars if we could!
We chose the the "To Have and To Hold" package and then almost at the last minute asked Erin to assist us with our rehearsal. During our consultation, Erin was extremely helpful and immediately very forthcoming with advice and recommendations. She then made the brilliant decision to pair us up with Becky as our Lead Coordinator. Elegant and the consummate professional, Becky worked through last minute changes and overcame obstacles leading to a seamless and unforgettable 12 hour wedding day! Admittedly, the the upfront "homework" took time but on our special day Becky was armed with a big heavy binder complete with the details of what seemed like every minute of our ceremony and reception. We were able to relax and savor our day's events, because we were confident that we were in good hands. Erin even unexpectedly stopped by to help because one of the day-of coordinators was sick. We can not thank Proud to Plan enough!

Working with Proud to Plan was one of the very best decisions we made during our wedding planning!!! We can not even imagine the day without Erin Proud and her amazing team! At first, we weren't going to book a wedding planner, because we already had most of our vendors booked when Proud to Plan was recommended to us. We are SO happy we decided to contact Erin Proud to get more information and we soon realized that working with Proud to Plan was an amazing decision!!! It's hard to put into words how happy we are that we had a chance to work with this great team! If you are indecisive about booking a planner, do not even hesitate to book with Proud to Plan. Our wedding day would not have been the same without them! During the planning process, Erin and Becky were so informative, professional, organized and knowledgeable. We met with them in person a couple times to go over details, and we even did a site visit at our venue to make sure we were all on the same page and that everything was going to be perfect the day of the wedding. Becky and Erin were so quick to get back to us through email or phone calls, and they answered all of our questions thoroughly. They helped us with planning the timing for the wedding day, communicated with vendors, gave awesome suggestions and listened to what was most important to us so that they could make sure everything ran smoothly the day of. We booked them for the rehearsal dinner too, and we were so thankful we did because they ran the rehearsal and went through the ceremony and made sure everyone knew exactly what to do! The wedding day ran perfectly and Becky went above and beyond all day long!!! I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about Becky. She was with me throughout the day and she made sure things were perfect! Becky has a friendly, kind, and calm personality and is organized and professional. She is amazing and so is the entire team at Proud to Plan!!!

Proud to Plan is the best of the best! I was an out of towner that had big ideas and big dreams for my wedding, which was to be held in Philadelphia. She made the process a breeze! She was so kind, upbeat, fun, personable, caring, creative, honest, professional, and really listened to you. Planning with her was so much fun throughout our time together before I unfortunately fell ill. She was so kind and understanding when I could no longer use her services. She really wants to get to know her clients and makes the extra effort. I feel confident that my wedding would've been a dream come true with Erin as my planner. I most certainly recommend Erin and Proud to Plan services for anyone but especially out-of-towners. It's difficult being so far from all the planning but she made it so easy! Her expertise and knowledge in the business allows you to receive the best vendors and product for whatever budget you may have. All the detail that was exhibited in her ideas, emails, phone calls, vision boards, Pinterest, etc was so impressive. She was such a pleasure to work with and I would recommend her time and time again. Thank you, Erin!!!!

i would recommend Proud to Plan to any couple -- regardless of how hands on you'd like to be in the planning process. I was very involved in brainstorming and sharing ideas for our big day, but without Erin and her team, I was feeling completely overwhelmed when it came to putting it all together and bringing it to life. We worked directly with Erin leading up to the day, and she gave us invaluable insight to incorporate each one of our ideas. She provided us with budget information, design boards, and a detailed outline for the entire day. She made coordinating with vendors a seamless process and took so much of the work off of our hands so that we could enjoy the planning process without the stress. Day of, we were able to just focus on enjoying ourselves knowing that Erin and her team had everything covered. Their level of organization was phenomenal. They were absolutely fantastic and brought our dream day to life!

Where do I even begin with the WONDERFUL recommendation I want to leave for Erin & her Proud to Plan Team?!! When we started the wedding process, Erin was recommended to us by many friends. My mom was hesitant and told me “we did not need a day of wedding planner”, but after ONE MINUTE of sitting down with Erin, she immediately changed her mind! Erin does EVERYTHING (and when I say everything, I mean it!) She made the process SO SO SUPER EASY FOR ME! She met with me 3 times prior to my wedding to discuss all of the ins & outs of the day. The week before our wedding, she called me for one last final phone meeting to confirm all of the plans & then SHE took care of reaching out and confirming with all of my vendors. In fact, as soon as my vendors found out I was working with her, they preferred talking to her instead! (That’s how well known she is in the Philadelphia, Delaware, & Jersey area!)

Of course, the wedding day was absolutely perfect, but let’s be honest, it wouldn’t be a wedding if it didn’t have a hiccup or two, right?! On the night of my rehearsal, we got to the church to find ANOTHER wedding there ready to rehearse as well. The church told me there was a mistake with double booking & then even proceeded to tell me that they didn’t have my wedding in the books for the next day! AH! A NIGHTMARE for a bride to hear the day before her wedding, right?! NOPE-- not for me! Erin took care of it all! She called everyone she needed to immediately and got the situation under control. We were able to rehearse (first, before the other wedding too might I add) and got to our dinner right on time! THAT’S HOW GOOD SHE IS!

I could go on with the endless stories of all the things she did to make my day PERFECT, but then you would be reading a novel (which this is turning into). Bottom line- you HAVE to hire her and her team! They are absolutely worth every single penny! Erin - THANK YOU! Love, Kristen & John Cavanaugh

Your wedding day can be stressful… if you don’t have Proud to Plan by your side! We had the pleasure of working with Erin, Amanda, Gina, and Lindsay, all of whom helped make our wedding day perfect. The Proud to Plan team is on it – they are organized, efficient, and professional. This is my family’s second time working with Proud to Plan; we also had the pleasure of working with them for my sister’s wedding a couple of years ago.

We hired Proud to Plan for day-of wedding coordination. Leading up to the wedding Erin answered our questions, provided guidance, and put our minds at ease that everything would run flawlessly – and it did! Erin created our schedule, made sure she and her team knew what was important to us, and created the most amazing document outlining every detail mapped to every minute of the day. Her team also managed week of vendor confirmations allowing us to enjoy the week leading up to our wedding. Day-of, Amanda and her team were amazing. They executed perfectly, did not leave one detail overlooked, and treated us and our family like royalty. We did not have to worry about anything and instead were able to focus on enjoying our wedding day and could truly be in the moment. We highly recommend Proud to Plan. They are one of the best investments you could make for your wedding!

Proud to Plan is what made our wedding day possible. Literally. We initially selected Erin because we liked her enthusiasm and the “To Have and To hold” package seemed the most comprehensive compared to other vendors. It also fit our budget, and in the end was worth every penny!!

We were pretty independent with booking vendors and contract review, so Erin’s greatest asset, in my view, was her knowledge of the wedding market. While planning, I was reassured that I could review quotes with Erin before committing.

Erin and our lead planner, Amanda, also have an eye for detail and went above and beyond to understand our “vision” of our wedding day (even when we weren’t quite sure!). We considered ourselves pretty organized, but Proud to Plan’s planning documents helped address many things we overlooked. We also incorporated a few of Erin and Amanda’s perfect suggestions (dance floor monogram, bachelor cake theme song). Those details made our day extra special!

Amanda was, in the words of my mother, a graceful superwoman on our wedding day. We had a few glitches and Amanda addressed them with poise and professionalism. She was also so helpful with the groom’s party, pinning all boutonnieres and making sure everyone was in the right place. :) Later in the night, our Proud to Plan team organized and packed up for us and arranged a smooth exit.

Thank you Erin, Amanda, Gina, and Lauren for all your hard work!! You are so sweet and talented, and we will be recommending your services to anyone and everyone!

Love,

Katherine and John

You MUST book Proud to Plan for your wedding...they are AMAZING! Erin and her team are the absolute best and our wedding wouldn't have been half as amazing without them. To say that our wedding was great would be a complete and total understatement! Everything was absolutely perfect and it would not have been possible with the Proud To Plan team.

Having worked in the hospitality industry for years, I had very high expectations for a planner I searched for weeks and booking Proud to Plan was the best decision I made in the whole wedding! Erin's extreme patience with all of my questions and emails and her unwavering positivity made the wedding planning experience so wonderful. I’ve spoken to a lot of my friends who say that they would never want to plan a wedding again and I think that they’re crazy because it was such a fun time in my life….and, then I realize, that they didn’t have the Proud to Plan team by their side to help make everything so manageable.

I’m not sure how the Proud To Plan team has that much energy in a single day, but they were running around non-stop to make sure the event was perfect. I can’t tell you how many of my guests came up to me after the wedding to ask who the planners were and to compliment them on how amazing they were throughout the night. If they weren’t pinning my hair back every 20 minutes, they were filling our glasses with champagne, making sure every detail we planned happened and every vendor knew exactly where and when to be and so much more.

For an event with more than 200 people and so many details, I knew that there would be a few things that would go wrong. But, even if something did go wrong, not a single person knew because she fixed it without missing a beat or losing her smile. Everything was just perfect…I can’t thank them enough!

Booking this group will be the best decision you'll make...don't think twice, you're wedding will so much better and you might even save money with their connections!

Erin, Lisa and their team were everything we needed and more to plan a super fun, stress-free and highly organized wedding. If the building was on fire on our wedding day, we wouldn't have known it because Lisa and her girls would've put it out and would still be smiling, making sure I didn't have lipstick on my teeth. They have so much firsthand knowledge about vendors, traditions, space and time saving techniques... Their expertise is limitless. They know how to throw one hell of a party. We hired them for day of coordination and had two in person meetings and unlimited emails. Everything was perfect and my husband and I could truly sit back and enjoy ourselves on our wedding day thanks to PTP.

Proud to Plan was a dream come true. From the first conversation we had with Erin to Lisa's flawless coordination of our wedding day itself, we could not have asked for more. We had a wedding of over 280 people including older relatives, relatives with dietary restrictions, and a million little details & small touches that our venue refused to take care of for us -- Proud to Plan's team covered everything seamlessly and made us feel utter confidence and relaxation on our special day. We can't recommend Erin & Lisa more highly -- they are efficient, brilliant, organized, and supportive. They gave us great ideas and helped us turn our ideas into reality. We have already referred several friends to them and will continue to do so!

Where do I start? As a bride, you worry about every tiny detail of your wedding from the moment you get engaged to the moment you walk down the aisle. I was a little hesitant at first to give up the reigns but looking back now, I am so glad I did. The last thing you need on your wedding day is worrying about something going wrong. From the moment I spoke to Erin on the phone, I knew she would be able to handle anything I threw at her. Her whole team is experienced and professional. We ended up having Lisa coordinate our wedding day who truly made our dreams come true. Lisa was calm and knew exactly what to do. I cannot thank her enough. She made our wedding day go off without a hitch. With her help neither my parents nor I had to worry that day. I recommend Proud to Plan to anyone I know who gets engaged. It was the best money we spent on our wedding. I could never imagine going through the day without them. Erin and Lisa truly made it worry free!

Awesome and professional. We had to fire our first planner that was with another company so we were reluctant to hire another but Proud to Plan was worth every penny. I was a DIY bride who did about 20 projects and wasn't sure where a planner would be helpful. We did the Day of Coordination package to make sure that all the details were in place the day of. We still have guests two weeks later telling me how on point the planning crew was. There was a team of three that helped up out throughout the day. They handled issues without me having to be stressed about what was going on. They involved me only when necessary and spoke calmly about any issues that came up. I seriously felt like the lead planner Annemarie was a friend. Everything that I requested was done. We were helped throughout getting dressed, at the first look, and they did not leave until we pulled off at the end of the evening. They helped pack up our car and stood out in the cold with us while we attempted to get the last few photos taken with sparklers. They made sure that we were happy and that we sat down to eat. My bustle did not cooperate, but next thing I knew the ladies were crouched down and pulling out large white safety pins to give me a bustle. I have NO complaints. I could go on for days about how meticulous, supportive, and wonderful my team was. I'm thankful for the crisis that were averted, and the memories that Proud to Plan helped us to experience.

I hired Proud to Plan after a friend recommended them to me. I hired proud to plan 2 months prior to my wedding and I wished I would of hired them earlier in the planning process. Becky, my lead coordinator, was amazing! Her and her two assistants set up all of our little details we wanted to be incorporated into our wedding and the final product was beautiful! Becky met me where I was getting ready to see how I was doing then went to check on my husband and his groomsmen. She kept all the vendors on track throughout the whole day! And when a shuttle was a few minutes late to the ceremony she already made contact with the bus driver before myself or my mom even realized they were late! Throughout the whole night they made sure we had a drink in our hand and the night would not have went the way it did without them! My husband and I said to each other the day after the wedding ... " Thank God for the proud to plan ladies they were wonderful." They are very professional and fun and are worth hiring!

I highly recommend the team at Proud to Plan for anyone planning a wedding. We worked with Erin, Jen, Laura and Kristin and we could not have asked for a more lovely and professional group to be part of our wedding day! They helped us with everything for the day of the wedding and captured every, and I do mean every, detail. As someone who is super detail oriented this was so appreciated! They definitely lifted a huge weight off our shoulders and allowed us to have the best day of our lives!

I went with the lowest plan because I had time to plan and choose everything but needed to have someone help me on the day of as well as consult during the process and it was the best money I ever spent! Becky was my main coordinator and she was fantastic!! Her assistant Lindsey was also incredible. Any time I turned to get something, they already had it ready before I even had to ask. They kept our glasses full and made sure the entire day went absolutely perfectly. It was so much fun to work with them and I would highly recommend you use them, they most definitely know what theyre doing and you can completely enjoy your wedding day without any worry in the world!!

Choosing Proud to Plan was by far the best decision I made for my wedding. Erin and Amanda were fabulous and fun to work with while planning. Their ideas, suggestions and guidance allowed me to have a dream wedding that my friends and family can't stop talking about. I've always heard brides say that their wedding goes by so fast and/or they didn't get to enjoy themselves. Thanks to Amanda, Kristin, and Jen I can truly say that I was able to enjoy every single moment of my wedding day.

Amanda was amazing at keeping the day running smooth and I’ve heard nothing but wonderful things about her from my other vendors. Kristin did everything from keeping tabs on all of our VIPs to toting around my lip gloss and shoes. Jen did a fabulous job on the venue. She set everything up to look better than I ever could have imagined.

The girls were the perfect balance of professional and fun. My only regret is that I didn’t hire them sooner to help me navigate the wedding world. I remember Erin telling me early on that her goal was to not only meet, but exceed my expectations. Mission accomplished.

Erin & her team are absolutely phenomenal! They provided wedding planning services for our wedding on September 18th and the day was flawless thanks to all of their help. Through our meetings, they brought so many little details that I had not thought of to my attention.
On the day of Annemarie, Rhiannon, and Lindset did a fabulous job keeping everything on schedule and running smoothly. It was the absolute perfect day, much thanks to this amazing group of gals!

There are no words to accurately convey how highly I would recommend Proud to Plan, to convey how grateful and thankful I am to their services. My husband and I made the decision to hire a day-of wedding coordinator to help facilitate our dreams of a DIY wedding. A DIY wedding that we had meticulously been planning for the length of our 2 year long engagement. Our wedding venue, while beautiful, was a blank space that we had to entirely make into the serene, picnic-style, casual, garden theme we had dreamt of. My poor fiancé, prior to hiring their services, would have been entirely responsible for creating this wedding himself, including unloading an entire rented Uhaul truck full of decorations in just 3 hours time. Needless to say, we made the best decision of our lives, the best money we spent of our entire wedding, to hire Proud to Plan after reading their reviews on this website. I myself, am now proud to say that Proud to Plan was my weddi

Thanks to Erin, Lisa and the team at Proud to Plan, my husband and I, and most importantly, my daughter and son-in-law were able to enjoy their special day with no worries, no stress and no problems. Lisa is truly superhuman and anticipated our every need. I don't know how she did it - I swear, she's got super powers. Besides coordinating the vendors and taking care of the "business" of the wedding, Lisa and her team kept us calm and happy. I knew we were in great hands from the moment the day started, early in the morning for hair and makeup until the wedding ended, late in the evening. I was so happy to relinquish control of the day to Lisa and the team. That allowed me to think of nothing but enjoying myself at the wedding. What a relief having Lisa there was! I will not undertake another event without having Proud to Plan coordinate it. They are the BEST!

I am so excited to write this review because Erin and her team are so amazing. I am very much a details person and could have easily spent my reception busy worrying about all the details...however it was quite the opposite. I had the chance to spend the night out on the dance floor with all my guests!!!

From the moment I decided to work with Proud to Plan to the moment I gave Lisa (my lead planner) a hug before I walked through a line of sparklers... they made my wedding planning and the day of so amazing. I used Proud to Plan for day of coordination services ("To Have and To Hold") and leveraged them before the day of for many e-mails. I asked all types of questions via notes... anything from "how many programs should I order?" to "where can I find tuxedos that do not look like the groomsmen are attending prom?" and all of my questions were answered so quickly with even more information than I ever expected!!

On the day of the wedding, Lisa visited my house to check in on me before heading to the church. She kept me calm and helped to remind me what this day was all about. This calm continued even when I asked her to help one of the groomsmen when she got to the church as his pants had ripped! She handled that situation without even breaking a sweat!! She even bustled my dress in what must have been record time which was one of my biggest concerns.

I cannot thank Proud to Plan enough for the time they dedicated to making sure my wedding was all that I wanted it to be and more. I would recommend (and have already done so) that any friend who is getting married work with Proud to Plan. I am so happy that we did and I would do it again.

Thank you, Proud to Plan for making my day so special and giving me the chance to create endless memories from that night!! I cannot thank you enough.

Things I am thankful for...Proud to Plan and how they made my wedding day so stress free!! I knew I wanted a wedding coordinator/planner at the very beginning however my family didn't think we needed such a service. "We can handle it"- they would say. Our wedding day has come and gone and everyone now agrees with me! Caitlin and Erin were my main point of contacts throughout the months of planning and Caitlin was the day of coordinator along with her 2 assistants. We got only the day of coordination with Proud to Plan, but PtP was available every single day for questions and guidance. I can't tell you how valuable that is. They do so many weddings, however I felt that they had all the time in the world for me and my questions especially when I have so many!! Erin's response time to emails is second to none. I barely click send and I've got a response - its the best. On the day of the wedding, Caitlin and her team were so calm and level-headed even with so many things going on. They helped out wherever we needed it. I literally did not have to worry about a single thing. I can not even imagine how the day would have went without someone like Caitlin. I am pretty sure I would not have enjoyed a single moment of my wedding day when actually I enjoyed every second! Many brides do not get to say that. I feel very fortunate to have worked with Erin, Caitlin and PtP and would recommend them highly to anyone and everyone who was planning a wedding.

Erin and Becky are the best. They have done two weddings- one for my daughter in July of last year and one for my son this past August. Can't imagine the stress of the day without them to keep everything moving, be there for emergencies, and think of all the little details we couldn't even imagine. They even helped discretely handle a medical emergency at my son's wedding that most of the wedding guests were completely unaware of. A perfect day takes perfect planning and Proud to Plan takes all the worry out of the logistics and details. The vendor recommendations, on-site management and coordination of all the details allowed all to relax and have fun. Couldn't imagine doing it without them.

We strongly recommend Proud to Plan for anyone going through the wedding process. We contracted them for day-of assistance + 3 planning meetings and now looking back, I would have contracted them for full event planning because they were so great!! The entire process was so professional and helpful. Caitlin was the lead planner on the day of my wedding and she was outstanding. I can't say enough good things about her. She was there every step of the way and made every detail flawless. Thank you so much for the outstanding job!

Erin and her team were just phenomenal. I worked with Becky for my wedding, and she was fantastic. I consider hiring them for day of coordination to be the best money we spent on the wedding. They were so helpful in the weeks leading up to my wedding, providing support and tips for vendors, as well as 3 planning meetings. I had no idea that that was nothing compared to how great they were going to be the day of the wedding. Becky kept me calm, had everything I could possibly need, and kept the day just seamless for me. She took care of any problems that arose without alerting me to the fact that there was a problem She took care of everything that I needed. I would hire her again in a second, and would definitely recommend her to any of my friends getting married.

I used Proud to Plan's "week of" coordination services, but they did so much more than just helping me with just the wedding week.
First, Erin Proud (proprietor) and Caitlin Maloney (my day-of lead) succeeded in helping me plan the wedding my fiance and I wanted. This included help finding amazing vendors and asking us for details we had never thought to specify but that made a huge difference in executing what we wanted. They were there for me to answer any wedding related question from almost 9 months in advance, and in retrospect I wish I had taken even more of their advice because every bit of it was excellent.
Second, Proud to Plan made my wedding entirely stress free for myself, as well as all my immediate family--we spent the day celebrating, without any need to take care of last minute details or problems. Caitlin and her TWO helpers took care of any even minor issue that arose, and were ready to solve all problems, from pinning up escaped hair to making sure insurance information was exchanged when one of our cars was hit by a very rogue golf ball.
Third: I was especially impressed with the professionalism exhibited by the whole team. Erin's system creates a great support net for all her team, making sure everyone is brought in at the right time but never making the bride feel like Erin isn't involved with the whole process. Caitlin made sure all the vendors present acted as a team--even the ones that initially expressed hostility towards having an outside planner present. I was told by multiple vendors how helpful and collaborative Caitlin was, as opposed to previous experiences by them of having planners try to dictate how they did their job.
I would highly recommend Proud to Plan to any bride, for any of their services.

I highly, highly recommend using Proud To Plan for your wedding. No one in my family had ever used a coordinator before, so I went back and forth about whether or not to use them, but I have to say it was the greatest decision we made! We used their day-of-coordination services, and it was so incredibly valuable in making our wedding day perfect and easy-going. From the start, Erin and Becky were so lovely, providing helpful suggestions and organizing our information in a way we could have never done ourselves with the craziness of the big day upon us and with our lack of experience. Becky, Gina and Lisa were there on the day-of, and successfully worked to make sure everything went smoothly and to work with our other vendors to make sure everything was set up the way we wanted it. They also set up everything at the venue -- menus, escort cards, signage, etc. -- beautifully and we rented some great decor items from them (e.g., the burlap table runners and vintage birdcage). At one point, the lights were too bright, and all we had to do was tell Becky and immediately it was fixed. I can't imagine how I would have achieved those little things without her, without driving myself crazy. Becky made sure we were hydrated, had our favorite drinks in hand, made sure to eat and took advantage of all the fun things we planned at the wedding. For your own sanity and to ensure your wedding is as beautiful and fun as you hope, call Proud to Plan!

If I could offer one piece of advice to any bride and groom, it would be to hire Caitlin and Erin from Proud to Plan!! When we first got engaged I was convinced that we didn't need a wedding planner and my mom kept pushing for it. I reluctantly reached out to a few planners and after two minutes on the phone with Erin, I wanted to be her best friend! (And felt the same about Caitlin after our first meeting!)
I can honestly say post wedding that I might not have survived the planning process without them.(Being the indecisive people pleaser that I am, I definitely struggled to make decisions and keep everyone happy, but Caitlin and Erin were so organized, knowledgeable, patient, understanding and friendly that I always felt at ease after talking to them!) We met with them three times leading up to the wedding - they supplied fantastic timelines that covered everything (including things I would have never even thought of!), were quick to respond to every email (even the ridiculous ones like "my mom is annoying me about shuttle times, help!") and worked with all of our vendors to coordinate everything the week of the wedding so we wouldn't have to worry about a thing.
On our actual wedding day, they proved that we were in great hands! From making sure our flowers, signs, cookie bar, etc. were set up the way we had envisioned, to making sure the right music played at the right time during our personalized ceremony, to picking cilantro from our taco bar out of my teeth before we took pictures, to working with our large band to coordinate speeches, dances, etc., I was blown away by their professionalism, flexibility, and hard work and could rave for days about how great they were! They were a pleasure to work with from start to finish - I still talk about how much I miss working with them (my husband is convinced that I only hired vendors I wanted to be friends with)! Hiring PTP was not only money well spent, but probably the best wedding decision we made!

Where do I begin? It's safe to say that Proud to Plan was our favorite vendor by far, and even about a month later, we're still talking about how amazing they were during the process!

Coming from a PR and event planning background, I was on the fence about a day of coordinator, particularly because I enjoyed during the wedding planning myself. I then realized that it was important to me to have someone there to take care of the little details on the big day - someone who could be my advocate. After seeing that PTP was so highly reviewed and after speaking with Erin on the phone - I knew that they would be great partners!

Erin and Amanda were so responsive in the months leading up to the wedding. While we had many of our vendors lined up already, they answered many of our wedding questions and were happy to review some of the remaining contracts that came in. Since we were planning from New York, they were more than willing to do Google Hangout with us for our meetings. It was also a great help to have them follow up with all the vendors the week of - saved us a lot of time while we were working on other last minute things!

On the day of, Amanda, Gina and Laura blew us away with their professionalism, attention to detail and their willingness to help in every single way. We felt so supported and the list goes on with how they helped us - making sure the venue was decorated exactly as planned, wrangling family members for photos, transporting items to the venue for us, breaking down and packing items at the end of the night. Even the little things were appreciated too - my now husband got a stain on his shirt before the reception began and it was out in seconds with stain remover that they had. My throat went super dry before the ceremony and I had a glass of water brought to me right away.

Overall, Proud to Plan far exceeded our expectations and we would recommend them to anyone! Thanks PTP!

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!!!! We hired Proud to Plan for Day-Of Coordination basically to set-up, pack-up, and make sure things ran smoothly, but they did so much more than we expected! Throughout my planning period, Erin was extremely helpful and responsive to my emails and then at our meetings she was sure to make sure we were on track for our big day and encouraging me to think about certain things that would never have occurred to me otherwise. And then on the big day, I had 3 coordinators there to help make sure things ran smoothly, and they did! The ladies were so very helpful, not just for me and my groom, but for vendors and guests too! I would highly recommend Proud to Plan...They are definitely worth every penny!

The team at Proud to Plan are true professionals and truly played an integral part in making sure that our wedding day ran seamlessly! During our planning meetings, Caitlin and Erin took the time to get to know us as a couple and understand what kind of wedding we wanted to have. They had a very long checklist of questions and decisions that we needed to make (many of which we never would have thought of ourselves!) but they never made us feel pressured or stressed and provided much needed guidance and organization throughout the whole planning process.

On our wedding day, Caitlin, Lisa and Gina were absolutely wonderful. They kept us on schedule and made our whole wedding vision become a reality! It was such a relief to let their team run the show and not have my bridal party, my mom or myself have to worry about anything.

If you are having second thoughts about hiring a day-of coordinator, send them away and hire Proud to Plan! You will be very happy that you did!!

I'm embarrassed that it's taken me so long to write this review. I loved every minute of working with Erin and her team on my October wedding. Planning my wedding from 3,000 miles away was a challenge, but I felt so fortunate to have Erin's knowledge and expertise in my corner. Erin was always great about answering my emails in a timely manner, and offering help and referrals when necessary. The Day-Of Team (Amanda, Caitlin, Gina) was amazing. I was a very forgetful bride, and the gals handled my absent-mindedness with grace and ease. They made sure the whole day ran smoothly, and I can't thank them enough. Erin & her team are true professionals. I would recommend them without any hesitation.

Erin, Lisa and their staff at Proud to Plan are extremely organized and professional and ensured our wedding day was stress-free and running smoothly. Though their job description for us was a “day-of planner”, they were very involved in our entire wedding planning process. They held three detailed meetings with us ahead of our big day, which helped us with organizing our day and putting together a timeline. They offered unlimited questions via phone or email throughout the planning process, as well as vendor recommendations. On the day of the wedding, Lisa and staff took care of EVERYTHING. Lisa stopped by my hotel room to pick up last minute items and check in with me. She then went to the church where she and some staff members pinned flowers on the groomsmen and “VIPS”, gave the groomsmen a tutorial on how to usher the guests and ensured everything was set up properly at the church. She sprinkled left over flower petals down the aisle, which was a nice touch, and made sure that my dress and veil were all set before I walked down the aisle. She was there with Shout Wipes after we did a bubble send-off outside the church and realized that my dress got some dirt on the train. When it came to the reception, Lisa and staff worked hard to ensure everything was set up exactly as I had envisioned, down to the last detail. At the end of the night, they gathered everything up and even had our cake top boxed, with instructions on the top of the box on how to freeze it and prevent freezer burn. Erin Proud, owner of the company, offered several reception items to rent to us at an affordable price, from candles to baskets. Her husband is also an extremely talented paper specialist and made our beautiful invitations, table numbers, and signage for the reception (Paper by Proud). We highly recommend Proud to Plan as your day-of wedding coordinator for a stress-free and organized wedding day!

I had always thought that a wedding planner an unneccessary extravagnce - something only the wealthy had - but after meeting Erin and her team at lovesick philadelphia I was thankfully shown otherwise! My (then) fiance was actually the one pushing for the idea but when I found out that our venue's wedding coordinator wouldn't be present the day of our wedding, I did some shuffling in our budget and gave Erin a call. With me being a pretty hands on bride, Erin and Jen were more liasons through the rest of the process than anything. They brought up things I might not otherwise have thought of and had a wide list of suggested vendors for those we hadn't yet booked. They got in touch with all of our vendors the week of to make sure everyone was on the same page which took a huge burden off of an already incredbily stressful week. The day of our wedding, Jen along with Gina and Mel helped to make sure everything ran according to plan. There's no way things would have gone half as smoothly without them yet they were so discreet that I hardly noticed they were there. Ten minutes before the bouquet toss I realized that I'd forgotten to put my garter on and Jen ran back to our hotel room to save the day! Some people choose videographers or Louboutins as their wedding extravagance - this was mine and I couldn't be happier that Erin, Jen, and their team were there to support me and my husband every step of the way. From the day we met to arrival at our suite that evening to see all the decor and gifts packed up neatly, a plate of dessert (that we didn't get to eat!) waing for us and a path of rose petals from the door to our bed - they made our day extra special and infinitely less stressful than what it would've been without them. If you are even considering enlisting help in planning your big day, call Erin right now. And a HUGE thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

I do not know how I could have gotten married without Proud to Plan on my side. From the moment I signed on with Erin, she gave me excellent advice and help. I am the oldest in my family and the first of all of my friends to get married, so my mom and I had no idea what we were doing when we began the planning process. Erin kept me on track and gave me ideas and vendor recommendations that took my wedding to another level.

The timeline that Erin created for us was perfect. Seeing her and her team on wedding day felt like five hundred pounds of stress were lifted off of my shoulders. I felt confident that as long as she and her team were there, everything would run smoothly...and it absolutely did. The wedding went on without a hitch!

Melanie was incredibly helpful as well. Anything I needed, and requests I had, she was there. There were moments when she saw concern on my face and helped me before I even asked. She was also wonderfully sweet, patient and helpful with my elderly grandfather, which my family and I really appreciated.

With a venue like Carinwood Estate, there were so many rooms, and so many places for people to be hidden; and Erin worked her magic to get everyone where they needed to be when they needed to be there. I am so grateful that I had Erin and Proud to Plan for my special day! Thank you for everything!!!

I live in London but was having my wedding back in the Philadelphia area where I grew up. I knew it was essential to have a good wedding planner so I interviewed 8! When I spoke with Erin, there was no doubt that I wanted her to plan my wedding.I chose the With this Ring package and since I didn't have the ability to interview lots of other vendors, I went with all of her top recommendations and I'm so glad that I did - they were all wonderful! When Erin is your planner, you don't need to worry. She is very experienced and has a great team. Any issue/concern I had, she had an immediate resolution. Not only is she good at the planning part but has great vision. She helped me make my wedding beautiful and I'm forever grateful. Her husband TJ did all of my stationary and it turned out great and for a great price.Everyone says something will go wrong at your wedding but nothing did and that was because of Erin. I had no doubt that everything would be fine because of Erin.I couldn't imagine doing the wedding without her; there are so many details that would have been hard/impossible to execute without her.I was really able to relax and enjoy the wedding because of Proud to Plan! Hands down best wedding decision I made was to hire them!

I was lucky enough to work with the Proud to Plan team for my wedding, and it was without a doubt one of the best decisions I made. Proud to Plan helped us with "Day or" Coordinating for our 11/10/12 wedding at Hyatt at the Bellevue, and it made everything a breeze. Erin was absolutely fantastic getting all of our details and timelines nailed down in advance- it was so incredibly thorough and comprehensive. On the day of, Caitlin and Jenna did a fantastic job of working with our vendors and getting everyone where they needed to go. Everything flowed beautifully, and they were so attentive and always made sure to check on us. The entire day was wonderful, and if anything went wrong I certainly didn't know it- They we very professional, and got everything taken care of while remaining in the background. They never seemed overwhelmed or flustered, and made sure ever details was arranged- they even decorated our bridal suite with rose petals, and gave us tips on preserving the top layer of our (yummy) cake! I really can't say enough about this fabulous team!

I cannot begin to describe how amazing and invaluable Caitlin and Erin were to the planning process as well as "day-of" for my step-daughter's wedding. From beginning to end they were professional, ridiculously organized, kept on top of every nitty gritty detail, things we hadn't even thought of in pulling off a truly spectacular event, even more beautiful that we could have imagined. Anytime we had a question or needed advice, Erin responded promptly and always with spot-on information. Caitlin was a true pro in keeping all the details straight, keeping us on task so that every vendor worked seamlessly together, and kept us all sane when the rain forecast had us all scrambling at the last second for our outdoor ceremony, which fortunately did end up taking place outside. I have never written a recommendation for anyone before, so that should be an indication as to just how wonderful they are, and how much I would recommend their services. They are a class-A++++ team of professionals.

Copy of the email I sent Erin & Lisa after the wedding (sums it up):

I'm so sorry it took me so long to write you guys a decent thank you note - as soon as we got back from the honeymoon we had to jump right into hurricane mode! Now that things are somewhat back to normal, I can breathe again :)

Thank you both for your endless hard work, your good judgment, your incredible good taste, and your shared commitment to helping make our wedding a success. Even though I knew you guys would do a beautiful job and that the investment in a wedding planner would ultimately be worth it, never in my wildest dreams did I imagine things would turn out the way they did. Walking into our reception was like walking into a dream - everything was like I imagined it would be, but 100 times better. It was truly magical - I can't even express to you how grateful I am (we are) for helping our wedding turn into the wedding of our dreams. All of our friends and family have gushed over how beautiful and perfect everything turned out - you both have 140 new fans!

If you EVER need a positive reference, or a bride wants to exchange emails with a former client of yours, please don't hesitate to pass my contact info along. I'll also happily promote you within my group of friends - I think my friend Andi would have booked you guys if she had seen your work earlier in her planning process!

I am so happy I choice Proud to Plan for day-of service for our wedding! Erin & Lisa were so professional and full of amazing ideas throughout the planning process! They responded promptly to regular emails and held 3 in-person meetings, which were very helpful! We also used Proud to Plan for all of our stationery needs and they custom made designs to match our theme perfectly! We got rave reviews on all of the matching invites, programs, menus, and signage. Proud to Plan did an incredible job of designing the reception area exactly like I had envisioned. It looked absolutely stunning!!! It was such a special day and everything turned out beautifully! Erin & Lisa sure took all of the worrying out of my big day and allowed me to really sit back and enjoy the entire experience!

All of the other reviews are true--Erin and her team are truly the best. I used her as a day of coordinator, and was so glad I did. Myself, my mom, and my wedding party did not have to run around and wrangle with vendors, set out decorations, or pack up the cars with the decorations and gifts at the end of the night. Erin and her team did it all. One of the best choices I made in vendors, you won't be disappointed.

Erin and Lisa -

It has taken Jimmy and I a while to write a thank you because we can't find the appropriate words to express our gratitude. I have worked with you both for the past two years and it has been a great experience. As a full time meeting planner and part time wedding planner I understand the amount of work that goes into an event. While I've always known this - my wedding day was on a whole new level. I know so many people who are event planners and feel as though they can do it all - but they are wrong. Having the both of you there throughout the process and especially on the day of was so important to the success of the day. Our families wouldn't stop talking (and still won't) about how personable you both were and how you were there EVERY time any one needed anything. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all that you did for us, our families, and friends on the day of our wedding. You kept our rowdy bridal party under control, make sure no one stepped on broken glass, made sure I always had lipstick on, among a million other things, all while smiling and dancing when you had time.

I have a new appreciation for what we do as professionals. Jimmy and I were able to enjoy our entire weekend because of the assistance of you both. We can never say thank you enough.

To TJ - Thank for designing the most beautiful invitations, programs, chair signs and seating chart. Your creativity was seen throughout the wedding on so many different pieces. I'm sending everyone I know who needs paper products to you!

At first when I was looking into wedding planners, some people thought I was nuts. After my mother and I met with Erin, we were hooked. Erin blew us away with all of her knowledge and her extensive vendor list. She really helped see my vision and make it happen. I was living five hours away from our wedding site but with all of the convenient phone conferencing and skype it was like we were sitting across from each other. Danielle and Caitlin were me day-of-coordinators. They could not have been more awesome. I wasn't rushed at all during the day and I was worry free, if something were to go wrong I would have never noticed. The girls took care of everything that day and kept things moving! I also used Paper by Proud for my Invitations and day-of-paper needs. I can't tell you how many compliments I received on my invitations. I was told by many they have never seen anything like it and they were truly beautiful. T.J. was so professional and he matched my colors perfectly in all of our paper needs. Proud to Plan and Paper by Proud are defiantly two vendors you need to add to your list! You won't be disappointed!!

Proud to Plan was amazing throughout my entire planning process and especially the few weeks leading up to the wedding. Erin and her staff really took on a lot of responsibility and took a lot off my plate so I could focus on getting ready. The day ran so smoothly and I knew we had nothing to worry about at all! From rehearsal dinner and throughout the whole wedding day, Erin and her assistants were there the entire time to help guide everyone through the day. I am so grateful so their professionalism and attentiveness to details and would definitly recommend Proud to Plan to everyone!

Proud to Plan were absolutely the best decision I made when planning my wedding. All of my vendors were great but they went above and beyond to give me such a fabulous wedding day despite getting married in the middle of a hurricane. When my crinolin for my dress went missing an hour before I was to walk down the aisle, they tracked down a new one and got it to me with five minutes to spare. They made a very stressful situation as stress free as possible for me and I could not recommend them more. TJ also made my wedding invitations and paper products for the wedding and they were absolutely beautiful. If you are getting married in the Philadelphia area, picking Erin and Lisa as your planners will be the best decision you could ever make!

I couldn't have pulled off a wedding in four weeks without the help of Erin and her staff at Proud to Plan. She took so much time helping us with ideas and contacts that our wedding felt like it had been planned in a year. There was no large or small detail that wasn't executed to perfection thanks to Erin!

We hired Proud to Plan for our day-of coordination. Our wedding was in Philadelphia, but my husband and I do not live in the area. Hiring Erin to help us organize and stay on track while planning a wedding in a different city was one of the best decisions we made. From our first phone conversation through the wedding, Erin and her team was extremely helpful, responsive, and professional. Erin was always personally available via email or phone to discuss planning ideas and recommend vendors. She is knowledgeable about event planning in general, has a passion for weddings, and seems to know every vendor in Philadelphia. She will give you her honest opinion and recommendations. We had two phone calls prior to the wedding to walk through all of the wedding day details, including timelines, guest list, decorations, etc. She thinks of every contingency and is very detail-oriented. The wedding day was stress-free thanks to Erin. She visited me in the bridal suite to address any final concerns, while her two assistants were on site early and able to help coordinate our florals and reception layout. We used several vendors recommended by Erin (Andy Mahaney – officiant; Synergetic Sounds – DJ). We received many compliments on Andy’s thoughtful ceremony, and our DJ gave us just what we wanted and kept the dancefloor packed the entire night. Erin has an enthusiastic personality, which makes her a lot of fun to have around on one of the most stressful days of your life.
We also used Proud to Plan for our day-of stationary. TJ produced our day-of paper, including placecards and menus. He was very easy to work with, even though all our communications were via email. On the wedding day, Erin and her girls brought the paper to the venue and set up everything beautifully. It turned out to be a very windy day and we had our placecard table set up outdoors. Her assistants used their creativity to secure the card with some ribbon and tape to hold down the cards so they wouldn’t blow away, without detracting from the décor of the table.
Overall, I would highly recommend hiring Erin and her team if you would like to relax and enjoy your wedding day.

Erin is truly the best wedding planner out there, and the best thing that happened to my Saturday, October 29, 2011 wedding. Erin technically provided day-of and rehearsal services, but in reality she did so much more!

Erin and her team were absolutely amazing; the day of our wedding was incredibly snowy, which was something we never expected for late October. Regardless, the day went off without a hitch and everything ran on time, which is amazing given the road conditions that day. Erin even went so far as to personally drive my husband's grandparents back to the hotel that evening because they were nervous to take the bus we provided in the snowy weather. Truly above and beyond!

Erin is funny, personable and super organized. Erin and her husband provided our wedding programs (which were AMAZING and unique), signage for our bar and candy table, and glassware/scoops for our candy table. I cannot get over how amazing Erin was helping us plan our large, formal wedding. The event was incredible, and our caterer now wants to use video/shots from our event as promo material. This can all be accredited to Erin and her team for helping make the day beautiful, fun and relaxing for my husband and I.

Do yourself a favor, don't hesitate, and book Erin! The stress she takes off your shoulders alone is worth the price! Additionally, she is a bargain for what she provides!

Proud to Plan did a great job organizing all the vendors and making sure everything was just how I wanted it the day of our wedding! It was great not to worry about a thing, especially when the ceremony had to be moved from outside to inside. They were able to transform the inside of the venue with the outdoor decorations and it looked great! The wedding flowed just the way that we wanted it to thanks to the schedule Proud to Plan helped us keep. Proud to Plan also gave great vendor recommendations.

Proud to Plan was amazing leading up to and on our wedding day. They designed the most beautiful custom invitations and signage that helped create a sophisticated atmosphere. On the day of the wedding I did not have to worry about anything! They handled everything so professionally and gracefully! Even when there was an unexpected glitch they shuffled everything around perfectly. The last thing you need on your wedding day is to deal with all of the little unexpected hold-ups that arise, Proud to Plan gave me so much peace of mind. People are still talking about how wonderful our wedding day was. I credit the perfection of our day to Proud to Plan. I cannot recommend Proud to Plan highly enough.

Was the BEST wedding vendor I have ever had contact with by FAR!!!!!
Everyone was EXCELLENT, Erin and her whole entire STAFF were amazing!!! I would never consider doing a Big event without them!! ALL of the paper products that they do are the best I have ever seen!!! They break everything down step by step and make everything so easy where it is actually a fun process instead of a stressfull process. They have got their business down and leave nothing untouched!

Erin is a one of kind wedding corrdinating goddess!!!! All the meetings I had with her were great. With her help my mom and I were able to stay organized leading up to the big day. Erin's vast knowledge of wedding ettiquette was a huge help in the planning process. She was always quick with reponses to any/all of our conerns (even the silly ones). On our big day Erin and her team allowed my mom, sister, aunt and I to completely relax and take in every moment of our day. We didnt have to run back and forth to make sure the room was being set up properly, nor did I have to worry about confirming timelines etc with my vendors. These things were a huge relief for me and my family.

TJ Proud, was also wonderful to work with on the design elements of our invitations and day of paper. We got tons of compliments on the invites and programs.

Thank you for helping to make our wedding a truly PERFECT day.

We were so lost planning our wedding, we had the basics but were worried about the details. We started going to Erin for just the invites but after meeting with her loved her! She really made sure she understood what we wanted and helped us finalize all the details for the wedding! She brought up things we never thought of and made sure we were ready for the day! It was great because we did not have a worry all day and she took care of everything! The wedding went flawless! I am sooo happy we hired Erin and she took care of everything for me! TJ worked very hard on our invitations and stationary everything looked amazing!! Our guests were really impressed by it all! The invites and day of services were worth every penney!

Erin came highly recommended by the limo company (Prime Time) that I was using. Right from the first meeting I knew that I was going to be very happy! She has a very upbeat personality and knows her stuff! And to top it all off she also has a paper company! Every paper good was out of this world! The invitations were to die for and was everything that I was looking for! Back to Erin, I became a very stressed out bride when little "grenades" starting coming my way but whenever I needed her she was there. The last week was a breeze because all the vendors and little to major details were taking care of. The day of the only thing I needed to worry about was how my hair looked lol because once again Erin and her assistant went WAY ABOVE the call of duty to make sure every detail was perfect. She thinks on her feet and makes decisions when things may not be going as well as planned. After all the money that was spent I have to say that Proud to Plan was some of the best money spent!

Erin was by far one of the greatest decisions I made for my wedding. We hired her for day-of coordination, and she seriously put my mind at ease - I didn't have to worry about ANYTHING the day of. She put together a timeline for flow of ceremony and reception, confirmed all vendors, made sure everything at the reception itself went perfectly, and just took care of EVERYTHING. At the end of the night, she even made sure we got two slices of our wedding cake to take with us, because we hadn't gotten a chance to eat it earlier!

Erin,

You and the Proud to Plan Team are simply incredible. From our first meeting to my wedding day, you made the planning and organization effortless. You have an impeccable eye for details and enabled Tom and I to create our perfect day. I truly felt like I was planning my wedding with one of my best friends. Our rehearsal dinner /wedding day atmosphere and schedule were flawless because of you. Anyone would be lucky to work with you. We got the best, because we worked with the BEST. Worth every cent and then some, thanks again! We’ll never forget you!

Jackie and Tom, Bride and Groom

To all the brides thinking about Proud to Plan, this is just a little taste of what Proud to Plan can do for you:
• She makes it YOUR day, not her day. She puts your needs and ideas first while helping you develop want you want YOUR vision to be.
• She made me complete a thorough checklist previous to the Big Day. Any forgotten details or things I had not accounted for were finalized in advance.
• She has everything under control. It was 90 degrees the day of my wedding, and she literally propped our melting cake up. I didn’t even know it was melting.
• Our schedule/timing was perfect, for the rehearsal dinner and day of the wedding. We had an outdoor wedding and built our reception from the ground up. She contacted our 10+ vendors ahead of time, confirmed the entire day, and continually checked in on everything the day of.
• My mom and I were able to enjoy my wedding without running around setting things up or managing any emergencies.
• I never had to worry. My photographer injured herself the week before the wedding and thankfully found replacements. Erin helped and comforted me through the last minute arrangements.
• When I was nervous, she made me laugh.
• I was able to make the entire day about marrying my best friend and love of my life instead of organizing and planning.

I love Erin Proud and the Proud to Plan team!!! As my day-of-coordinator, Erin was fantastic to work with, and I didn't have to worry about a single thing for the whole week before and the day of the wedding! I knew she had it all under control, which meant my husband and I were free to enjoy the whole event! If you hire her to be your DOC, I recommend also hiring her to come to your rehearsal, as she made the rehearsal run so incredibly smoothly. I've been in a number of weddings, and I've never seen a rehearsal run so professionally!
My invitations were by Paper by Proud, and I can't even tell you how many people commented on how awesome they were! And they were less expensive than the (less fabulous) ones I scoped out on etsy! I really cannot say enough positive things about this company, working with them was an absolute delight!

Erin and Proud to Plan were referred to us by a friend who was a former client of theirs. Basically this friend said that if we were to do anything right it would be to hire her to help with our wedding. True to what she said Erin and Proud to Plan was best thing we did & the best money spent. Although Erin had 2 other weddings booked that day, we got to work with Lisa on our big day who was just as detail oriented, fun, professional and awesome. We could have not been more pleased with everything and our other vendors loved them just as much as we did.

We also had all of our wedding day stationary done by Tj. We are still getting compliments days after the wedding on all of the signs and favor boxes. They were beyond beautiful and perfect for our event.
From start to finish Proud to Plan was awesome and we would recommend Erin and her team to anyone.

Erin is amazing! She was booked the day of our wedding, so we worked with the wonderful Danielle, Sarah and Leslie on the day of, but Erin was there throughout the entire planning process and was always willing to answer questions and give suggestions and recommendations. She is extremely organized and helped keep us on track and organized as well. On the day of the wedding, I knew that everything was taken care of, and the day ran so smoothly. Proud to Plan's prices were very reasonable compared to other planners I talked with, and Erin and her team were worth every penny. If you don't want to worry about anything on the day of your wedding, hire Erin!

Erin and her husband are fantastic. We worked from samples we were given, and they made them into exactly what we wanted. My wife and I were both very pleased with their service.

I originally hired Erin for Day of Coordination. She was SO organized and helped me with details that I never considered. She had great ideas and was a pleasure to work with. I'm so glad that I did not do this day alone and Erin was the best choice to help me. Even with just the standard bridal melt-downs, an email from her put me back on the right track and moving forward

Proud to Plan also did an amazing job with my invitations. I had an unconventional idea of what I wanted and I was going to DIY them. When I finally realized that I was in over my head, these guys stepped in and worked with me and designed a great invitation with me and executed it amazingly well. My guests all commented on the invitations and I have Proud to Plan to thank!!

And, they did several other small printing details that pulled the whole look together. I'm so glad I picked a vendor that had multiple services. Erin and TJ were both just great to work with. I can't imagine my day without them.

She's a wedding planner that works out of her home and her and her husband are great. They gave me some samples, which were a good start, and then we perfected it to get exactly what I wanted. Very fast turnaround as well. Very highly recommended!

I hired Erin as my day-of coordinator - and I'm so glad I did! Before the wedding, we had three comprehensive meetings where Erin helped me flesh out ideas and ensure that everything was on track for the big day. She also contacted all of my vendors the week of the wedding to be sure that everyone was on the same page. On our wedding day, Erin and her assistant took care of so many things, including handing out vendor gratuities, organizing the bridal party at key moments, decorating the reception site (and very efficiently packing it up at the end of the night!), beautifully bustling my dress...they even repaired one of my bridesmaid's bouquets, which had been completely mangled during a bumpy trolley ride. AND they stopped by the hotel on their way home to decorate the bridal suite (they even left us two pieces of wedding cake, which we so appreciated, as we hadn't had any at the reception!). Most importantly, Erin provided me (and my mom and bridesmaids) total peace of mind, which meant we really got to enjoy the day. If you have it in your budget, hire Erin - you won't regret it!

I was extremely fortunate to have been referred to Erin of Proud to Plan. Right away I liked how she was willing to work within my budget and the fact that her packages and pricing were available on her website. Erin's enthusiasm is contagious! She was full of ideas and the result was a gorgeous Christmas wedding which was very personalized and full of wonderful details. Every vendor I chose was recommended by Erin and they all did a superb job. I would highly recommend Proud to Plan to anyone that is looking for a wedding planner who is creative, enthusiastic, connected and very professional!

What would we have done without Erin? I cannot tell you how many times I have heard this question from my husband, my parents, my in-laws, and from myself!!! Erin from Proud to Plan is one of the most organized, efficient, kind, and stylish people I have ever met. The planning meetings we had were incredible; they helped create a relaxed and fun atmosphere the day of the wedding since everything was already taken care of. Proud to Plan also created our wedding programs and signage for the evening, and our guests were very impressed by their work. I highly recommend working with Proud to Plan...we really don't know how we could have done it without them.

Erin was absolutely amazing. She was so organized and creative. She helped us with our stationary needs which turned out beautiful. She confirmed all of our appointments with our vendors the week of the wedding, and the day of the wedding she was there from morning til night. I didn't worry about a thing. I had everything I needed, she even packed up everything for us at the end of the night. I can't recommend her enough!

Erin was an absolute pleasure to work with. She helped me tremendously with paper products, created my cardbox, which all looked fabulous! I can't imagine how the day would've gone had she not been there to help and handle everything.

I highly recommend her!

At the last minute, when I decided that I did not have time to complete everything, Erin came through and designed programs, table names, favor cards, bathroom signs, etc. She was SO affordable and totally got my vision (nobody else did). If you have a vision but don't have the time to do it yourself, hire her right this minute!

The level of service and quality my husband and I received throughout the wedding planning process could not have been surpassed! Erin and her team are true professionals and were very quick to respond with any questions or concerns we had during the entire wedding planning process! The support they showed throughout the planning process and on the day of made our wedding day stress-free and truly enjoyable. They are great at what they do and I highly recommend anyone considering a wedding planner (especially Proud to Plan!) to get one as these guys make the day virtually flawless! Thank you so much!

Proud to Plan offers several packages, and I chose one that included a few pre-wedding meetings, unlimited emails and phone calls, and day-of coordination. I couldn't have been happier with their service! I was living in Boston while planning a wedding in Philadelphia. I knew I wanted to be very involved, and I definitely didn't want to hand off the entire planning process to someone else. With PTP, I was able to make most of the big decisions while relying on Erin and her team for reliable vendors recommendations. For example, Erin knew I wanted a videographer, but knew I didn't have room in my budget to spend thousands of dollars. She recommended a vendor whose work she loved, but who was just getting started and didn't cost as much as other vendors. The result was an amazing video at a price I could work with.

Erin is also great because she listens and gives honest feedback. The last thing I wanted was a planner who just agreed with all my ideas. I wanted someone who would help make the wedding memorable, not someone who would let me make bad decisions. Erin has done a ton of weddings, so she tell you what works and what doesn't. She'll lay out pros and cons, and let the bride make the final decision. I also appreciated PTP's flexibility. Erin and her team made time to meet with me on the weekends (their busiest days!) because I could only fly into Philadelphia on the weekends. They were always considerate of my schedule.

PTP's day-of planning was also amazing. Rather than have my mother or me running around to coordinate bagpipers, groomsmen, great-aunts, or photographers, Lisa from PTP did EVERYTHING. She had every detail covered. Lisa traveled seamlessly between the wedding party, families, and guests, and she made sure everyone was happy. On my wedding day, I was able to enjoy every minute because I knew that Lisa was managing the details.

I rated PTP so highly because they offer a great service. They are in-touch, practical, knowledgeable, and they have have fun at what they do. I had a great time planning the wedding, and I can't imagine I could have put together such a wonderful event without their help.

Note: I also had Erin and TJ from Paper by Proud design wedding programs, menus, and other paper used at the wedding. They did a terrific job, and I especially love the door hangers they made!
