We genuinely cannot put into words how grateful we are for Erika. From start to finish, she was the calm in the chaos, the glue holding everything together, and the reason our wedding was as joyful and stress-free as it was.

We began planning in 2019, with a wedding originally scheduled for April 2021—only to have to pivot like so many others due to the pandemic. Through every change, delay, and adjustment, Erika was right there with us. She helped us navigate rescheduling, coordinated with all of our vendors, and made what could have been an incredibly stressful process feel seamless and manageable. She even made herself available during our intimate ceremony before the full celebration, which was such a thoughtful and meaningful gesture.

What sets Erika apart is her grace, warmth, and the way she truly cares. She is incredibly organized, always on top of every detail, and somehow made everything run smoothly while still making us feel like we were the only people that mattered. On the day of our reception, we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment—all because we knew Erika had everything covered.

She even fixed my wedding bustle so quickly that I was back on the dance floor by the next song!

She is, without a doubt, one of the kindest and most capable people we’ve ever worked with. Looking back, we’re so thankful to have had her by our side during such an important time in our lives. Simply put, Erika is a gem—and any couple would be lucky to have her in their corner.

Working with EMB Planning & Events is always an absolute dream. As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the joy of collaborating with Erika and her team on countless weddings, and every single time I’m blown away by their organization, creativity, and genuine care for their couples.

Erika has a rare ability to balance logistics with emotion—she keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes while ensuring her couples feel fully present and relaxed on their big day. The timelines she creates are thoughtful and realistic, making my job so much easier and allowing us to capture every meaningful moment without stress.

What really sets EMB apart is the heart they put into everything they do. They’re not just planners—they're true advocates for their clients, committed to bringing their vision to life in the most beautiful, seamless way possible. Every wedding we’ve worked together has been stunning, joyful, and perfectly tailored to the couple.

I always breathe a sigh of relief when I see EMB on the vendor list, because I know it’s going to be an exceptional day. I truly can’t recommend them highly enough.

“We worked with Erika as our wedding planner and could not recommend her enough! Her warm energy and personality made what could be a very stressful process fun and enjoyable. We never had to worry about deadlines, contracts or communication with vendors as she was completely on top of everything. She did a wonderful job managing all of the family dynamics and personalities allowing the day to go off without a hitch. There is absolutely nothing I would change about our wedding planning process or wedding itself. I felt completely supported and prioritized throughout the year and wedding day while also being able to have fun and enjoy every minute. I could not recommend Erika enough! She's absolutely the best in the business!”
