So helpful

Erin helped so much with all the details I hadn’t even thought of! She provided me with a great breakdown template to include all the important tasks and information. She helped make sure everything was set up right, continued to check on me throughout, and helped keep everything running smoothly.

Erin is the BEST!

Erin with EM Planning & Design is an absolute rock star and her services are indispensable!
Erin was recommended to me by one of my clients and I sought her services for “day-of coordinator” for our wedding back in September 2021. Prior to working with Erin I had the erroneous impression that using the services of a wedding planner in any capacity was an necessary wedding expense, but that couldn’t have been further from the truth. Erin’s services were not only fairly priced but I would go as far as to say, PRICELESS! Erin was professional, friendly, kind, resourceful, and extremely helpful in all of our interactions. Her calm and reassuring demeanor helped to ease many of my more anxious moments during the planning process. Erin was very responsive, communicative and went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were met. I highly recommend working with Erin and taking advantage of her professional services - you’ll be glad you did!!

Excellent Job

I would definitely recommend EM planning. I sent her pictures prior to coming out and being my day of coordinator. She was quick to get all my decorations out of the basement of the venue and get the reception area set up. The only negative thing is I wish she had help to set up since there was a time crunch. I felt I overwhelmed her. But my family was able to help her out. I'd definitely recommend her in a heartbeat.
