THE Best Ever!!

Erika was truly incredible! From the start, she was organized, calm, and so fun to work with. We had to cancel and reschedule our wedding because of COVID, and she helped us through every step with so much patience and positivity. We honestly don’t know what we would’ve done without her.
She knows everyone in the wedding world and helped us find the absolute best vendors. Her recommendations were spot-on, and everything came together beautifully. On the big day, Erika made sure everything ran perfectly. We didn’t have to stress about a single thing. She kept us laughing, kept things, and let us fully enjoy every moment.

Erika is the calm to the wedding planning storm

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Erika. From start to finish, she was incredibly detail-oriented and kept every aspect of our wedding perfectly organized, allowing us to worry about absolutely nothing. On our wedding day, we were able to be fully present and simply enjoy every moment, something we owe entirely to her. Her calm, level-headed demeanor was invaluable when inevitable hiccups arose, and she handled everything seamlessly. She is a true professional and an absolute joy to work with. We are endlessly grateful for her and would recommend her without hesitation.

Amazing Experience from Start to Finish

I cannot say enough good things about Erika and EMB Planning and Events. From start to finish, she was absolutely amazing. I got married on October 11th, right in the middle of a very busy wedding season, but Erika always made me feel like I was the only bride on her calendar. She was so quick to respond during the planning process, incredibly organized, and took over vendor coordination so I could actually relax and enjoy the process.
She was affordable, came to the rehearsal, and made sure the setup, ceremony, and reception all went perfectly with zero hiccups. Everything ran so smoothly, and I truly could not have asked for a more beautiful, perfect wedding day. Knowing Erika was there handling everything gave me so much peace of mind.
I am beyond grateful for her and cannot thank her enough for making my day so special and stress-free. If you’re even thinking about hiring a wedding coordinator, book Erika! You will not regret it.

We couldn’t have done it without Erika!

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.

A True Gem in the Wedding Industry

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.

Best Planner EVER!!

“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!”

Incredible experience with an amazing planner!

I had the pleasure of working with Erika as my wedding planner in 2021 and could not have had a better experience. From the beginning, Erika helped to make the planning process as easy as possible and quickly assured us both outwardly and from her incredible demeanor that we would have the best day. She made planning seamlessly fun and guided us every step of the way to ensure our vision came to life - and she beyond delivered.

Erika is organized, detail oriented, and easy to communicate with. She provides recommendations from years of expertise and experience, but always provides them in a way that is open for discussion in the event you had something else in mind. She is thoughtful, helpful, and such a bright light. I would highly recommend working with Erika on any of your event needs, big or small!

Best Planner Ever!

Erika was the best lead planner we could have asked for to help plan our 3-day Indian/Western fusion wedding! When looking for a planner, we wanted someone who was organized, fun and engaging, and someone who understood our vision. Erika was all this and more! From the beginning, she was very organized and brought so many creative ideas to the table. She quickly understood our vision and helped us figure out how to make it happen within our budget. Throughout the process, she was responsive, engaged, and immensely helpful. I knew we were set up for success that I had no anxiety leading up to the wedding. During the weekend, I was unaware of any issues that might have come up and I can only attest that to 1) Erika’s preparation for the weekend and 2) Erika’s ability to resolve anything without involving me or my husband. We are so grateful for her leadership and support in planning our weekend and making us feel so special during the weekend. If you are looking for a seamless process leading to a special and bespoke wedding, look no further than Erika!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
