Erica is the BEST!!

Could not recommend Erica enough! We started working with Erica in late 2019 to plan our destination wedding in Vail, Colorado in September 2021. She was invaluable when we were selecting vendors (she gave great recommendations and helped us select a venue while we were living on the East Coast and unable to visit Colorado due to COVID) and she was invaluable down to the tiny details of the wedding (like place cards and table cloth colors). She answered all of our questions quickly and thoroughly, and she's incredibly kind, friendly, and easy to work with. Erica was also so great at reassuring us that we were on track and that there was no need to stress. When we encountered little hiccups throughout the process, she was great at explaining our options & providing her opinion on the best way forward (which was really helpful with all the COVID restrictions constantly changing). If there were any issues on the actual wedding day, we had no clue about them.
Our wedding day was absolutely perfect thanks to her, and I cannot imagine having to plan a wedding without her!!

Mother of Bride

My daughter's wedding was 10 days ago and I still cannot stop thinking about how beautiful every detail was.... Erica was amazing at helping my daughter take her visualizations and create reality. Erica suggested amazing vendors - each one was top notch. Erica managed every aspect of the planning, rehearsal and "day of" and nothing was overlooked. We had some major twists and turns along our planning process, with one being a Covid postponement and another an unforeseen family tragedy a couple of months before the wedding. Erica handled everything with grace, calmness and professionalism. .. ESW also did our flowers and they were STUNNING..... Highly recommend as I truly was a guest at the wedding and had a blast. Erica had everything under control!!!! I wish I had another daughter so I could do it again!

HIRE if you want perf mountain wedding!!

There aren’t enough words to say to describe how grateful I am to have had Erica plan our wedding. From day one we had constant communication from 2000 miles away for our destination wedding to Breckenridge, CO. She was able to take my vision of an industrial rustic wedding while maintaining my budget wonderfully! Our venue was The Lodge at Breckenridge. The details to make our wedding unique was breathtaking and the day of coordination was a must. I would recommend Erica a hundred times over to anyone trying to have a unique and beautiful wedding in Summit County.

Erica is Amazing!

Erica was worth her weight in gold for our wedding. We did a destination wedding in Colorado and she was able to help us with as much or as little as we wanted- design, vendors, coordinating with the venue, etc. She also took over for me 2 weeks in advance of the wedding, letting me relax and enjoy the time with friends and family. She is FANTASTIC to work with and our wedding was either early or on-time for every aspect! Literally nothing went wrong. Erica even jumped in to help us out at our rehearsal dinner!

She was there for the whole day and helped me move from place to place in high winds for photos-- making sure my dress and veil were straightened out and looking pristine each time, even at the peril of her own styling.

If you're looking for a wedding or event coordinator, hands-down Erica is the way to go.

Erica is absolutely wonderful!

Erica helped my husband and I plan our wedding from across the globe. From dealing with difficult time zones, to capturing my ever-changing vision - she somehow covered it all. We absolutely loved working with her and sincerely appreciated all the work she put into ensuring we had the perfect day. We couldn't rate her higher!

A Groom's Perspective

Erica is the wedding planner you want if you want your wedding day to be stress free and full of joy. She went above and beyond all expectations. Before hiring her, my wife-to-be had a couple moments of tears from the overwhelming task of planning a destination wedding. After, there were only tears of joy. Erica saved us many nights of anxiety. She had the perfect balance of gathering our input on certain items but using her expertise to make other decisions for us. My job required me to be out of contact for four the nine months of wedding planning and Erica was able to serve as someone to lean on for my wife in my absence leading up to the wedding.
Erica not only planned the wedding day, but as soon as we arrive in Breckenridge, she had coordinated key events (like the fun drink tasting or the necessary rehearsal). This structure allowed us to enjoy the holidays, family time, and the slopes without having to worry about when the wedding tasks would be taken care of.
For the actual wedding day, Erica was able to handle all of the speedbumps without us even knowing about them. The only we one we did know about was that it was 10 degrees coupled with an outdoor ceremony. Erica had preplanned for all the shuttle to have the heat going full blast for a quick warm up for our guests. Her dedication to making our wedding special was reinforced by our guests comment on how perfect and fun the day was. We attribute their positive reaction to her hard work. My only regret was not hiring her sooner or maybe considering an inside ceremony in December.

Erica went above and beyond to make our wedding day everything we dreamed of. We booked Erica for planning services 3 months out and the day of. If there is any advice I have for newly engaged couples it is, planners like Erica are worth every penny! Erica was quick to help out with the final details and saved us money were it counted. Through out the planning Erica was very easy to get a hold of, she even responded to late night texts when questions arose. Having a destination wedding in the mountains was as beautiful as a dream, but took a lot of time to organize every logistic. Erica helped make this process run seamlessly, so that my husband and I could enjoy the week with our friends and family. We can't thank Erica enough for every part she had in making our day one we will always remember!

After you've chosen your significant other, the single most important relationship in your pre-wedding life is the one you have with your wedding planner, and I cannot be more thankful that we found Erica to fill that role. My husband and I completely changed gears (not just venue, try different state completely) about 9 months before our wedding. We were lucky to have found Erica as a recommendation from mutual friends who had their destination wedding in Colorado the year prior. Erica worked very hard right from the beginning and had us nail down our ceremony and receptions venues within 2 weeks, and cinched the hair/makeup, cake, DJ, transportation, and photographer a few weeks after that. Throughout the process, Erica was very responsive to e-mails/texts, particularly when I had frantic moments, and she was available during off hours, and weekends especially as the day approached. Because she takes only a limited number of clients per year, I felt like she was able to personally dedicate a lot of her time to us and never outsourced/delegated work to an assistant. She maintained close and very frequent contact with all of our vendors and I rarely needed direct e-mail contact with anyone. She let us ship a million decor items, gifts, etc directly to her since we were travelling from far away. She arranged our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner and helped schedule multiple events during the week of the wedding for out of town guests. She set up and maintained an online client portal that was unbelievable helpful for keeping track of vendors, payments, budget, guests, etc. She literally took care of it all. Her recommendations for all of our vendors were spot on and we were extremely happy with every aspect of our wedding day. Venue, music, photography, beauty, flowers...it was all just perfect. Our date was more special than we cold have hoped for and we owe it all to her. Thank you Erica!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Erica and her team are really great to work with. I have worked with LOTS of wedding planners over the years and she is certainly a top choice. She maintains a smooth and friendly control of the event without trying to take over, like some planners do. I really can't say enough good things. At a wedding this year in Vail, the weather played havoc on the ceremony and event schedule, but Erica took it in stride and kept the BnG happy while working well with all the involved vendors - not to mention the ~100 guests who were displaced while waiting for the weather to clear up. As a DJ, sometimes working with planners can get a little hairy and actually create more work for myself and my team. With Erica, it's nice to take the second seat to a true professional who works well with everyone and is 110% organized and prepared. If you want to enjoy your big day without the stress that goes along with a wedding, hire a qualified and personable wedding planner like Erica. She will not disappoint. 5 enthusiastic stars!
