50th Surprise Wedding Anniversary

Erika was excellent! She was friendly and professional. She kept a list of everything we need, purchased, and brought it all to the event. She helped us select vendors and communicated with them for us. She did a great job coordinating with the vendors and the venue. She also helped us with ideas for the decor and flow of the event. And one of our favorite items she provided was the program! It was beautiful! She had a great team that came with her the day of the event. They did an excellent job of setting up, serving, and cleaning up the event. They were all friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend Ericka for your event!

AMAZING!!!! Gave us wedding perfection!!

I get so overwhelmed as I think of writing this review. We had the most perfect wedding day and I know it was due to the blessing of having Erika and her team in our corner. I thank goodness every day that we met and hired her to be our wedding planner and coordinator. Originally I had a different planner that I was introduced to through the venue. But 7 weeks before our wedding the original planner’s sister got pregnant and planned her shotgun wedding for our date. My wedding had so many moving parts I just could not accept an assistant stepping in and had to find a new planner. I was STRESSED but I knew from our first phone call that Erika was the one. She was calm and assured me it would all work out. We interviewed several folks but just knew Erika was right for us. She anticipated EVERY SINGLE THING and provided suggestions that enhanced our day and made it even more special. We look back at our day and marvel at how perfect it was and not a single thing out of place or that we would do differently. That perfection was not by accident, it was due to Erika and her team. She formed such a bond with my whole family because she truly cared. Brides do yourself and your nerves a favor and hire Erika. I/we had a beautiful, calm, loving, fun celebration because she was leading the charge. Can’t say enough!

Amazing! Creative! Professional! And More!

Erika was by far the best wedding planner! She was there for me prior to the start of the pandemic until my wedding day. When the pandemic hit she did an amazing job contacting all my vendors about my postponement. I don’t know what I would have done without her. She also does an amazing job coordinating the day of your wedding with her team. She focuses on you and only you. You will not regret hiring Erika! :)

She is perfection!

Erika was my month-of wedding coordinator, and while she was my first, I'm still pretty sure she's the best. She handled LITERALLY everything, she was so professional yet fun, and nothing went wrong thanks to her. That's not to say things didn't try to go wrong -- she just handled everything without a glitch.

And I'm talking big issues -- my wedding venue director was an absolute burning trashcan; I have no idea how she even handles getting dressed in the morning, and Erica handled her firmly and efficiently. Issues ranged from DOUBLE BOOKING my ceremony time to LOSING OUR OUTFITS from the bridal suite to just generally being an unpleasant monster, and Erica handled it all without letting me stress.

I had like half a vision and she helped me form the rest--when I walked into the wedding hall, everything was totally, 100% perfect; and it wouldn't have been without her. Not to mention, she became my best friend for a month just by being hilarious, fun, and personable! So grateful to her!

Committed professional, genuine person & a true friend.

Choosing Erika to be our wedding coordinator was the best decision from our wedding planning, especially because we had to plan our wedding from the other side of the country (NY!!).
And even though we had a 3-hour difference between us, we never had any problem communicating with her. Actually, it almost felt like we were in the same time zone because Erika was always quick and prompt to answer our emails, phone calls, and text messages.
The day we met her to go through our wedding details just a few weeks before the wedding day, she was so prepared! She knew everything we wanted, and even more. She gave us so many creative and money-saving suggestions that it totally blew our minds (my husband had to applause her during the meeting LOL).
On the day of the wedding, Erika and her assistant, Destinee, were everywhere making sure that everything was going according to our planned schedule, so my husband and I didn't have to worry about anything! We just enjoyed our day and had lots of fun. We also invited Erika to dance with us, and dang, this girl can dance!!

If you want a total stress-free wedding planning and a memorable wedding day, Erika is the best way to go. She will make sure that very detail was considered and will do the best to fix any possible situation. The best part is that she will work with you as professional and treat you like a friend.

Absolutely the best decision made having her as our wedding planner/designer!!!

We had the pleasure of working with Erika and her wonderful staff for our wedding this past May at Avenue of the Arts Hotel. She is very knowledgeable in her craft and was able to plan a very beautiful and elegant wedding. She is very detailed oriented and listens to every aspect that will give you your dream wedding. We got unexpected rain on the day of our wedding therefore our planned outdoor lakeside ceremony was a no go. With last minute changes she was able to still provide the most beautiful and elegant wedding we envisioned. On the day of the wedding her and her staff were attentive to both our needs. She communicated directly with our vendors which took off a load of stress during the last month of planning. Our guests were amazed at the design of both the ceremony and reception. We still have guest raving about how great everything turned out. I highly recommend Erika to any future wedding couples. She will execute your vision and provide a very stress free planning process.

The Ideal Wedding Planner

I am not sure this review will do justice to the work Erika did for me, but I will try..

Erika gave me the wedding of my dreams. I was a bride with a VERY specific vision, and Erika was able to bring it to life beyond my own expectations. She worked with me and my entire family with patience and dedication. By the end of the process, I felt that she was an old friend!

During the months leading up to the wedding, Erika connected me with a team of fantastic vendors, all of whom came through with flying colors. She communicated with me openly and made me feel as though my wedding was a priority. She had answers to questions before I even had to ask them. As the big day got closer, we spoke almost every day. She always took my phone calls (sometimes even at unreasonable hours) and never made me feel like my questions or concerns were burdensome. The day of my wedding went off without a hitch. She was organized, prepared, and genuinely excited to see my vision become a reality. I wish I could thank her more for what she has done for me. With her on my side, I had a FLAWLESS experience.

I recommend Erika 100%. She will bring your wedding dreams to life.

Erika has been exceptional from our start date through our wedding date. She covered, everything, I mean everything, including many details that I did not even know existed, in terms of helping and organizing the wedding. She made us very relaxed and because of her help, we had a wonderful wedding! We cannot recommend Erika enough. she is the best! We miss her now!

Okay, it took me far too long to write reviews for all my wonderful wedding vendors. Erika is one of those wonderful people!

Erika!!! I can't say enough wonderful things about the spunk she has, her patience, her kindness, her genuine and real advice.

Erika was my first pick though booking a wedding with Avenue of the Arts. I liked her style on her website and I liked that she actually responded to me (that's a big one, LOL). Finally, we started emailing and talking, and I liked that she was soooooo easy to talk to. She still is! She is also really organized and commanding of a situation if you go off the rails (luckily, I didn't). She will steer you in the right direction by asking you what you want, never pressuring you to make a decision you don't want to make or telling you what you should do.

Erika is a really busy gal with all the events and coordinating that she does, but she will make time for you. She always answered my questions within a timely manner, she always made sure to prioritize and organize the thoughts we had for our wedding. She is cordial and friendly and we could chat all day outside of wedding planning and prep - I love that about her!

Pick Erika if you want someone friendly who will work with you, who feels like an old friend you are catching up with, and someone who has great style and suggestions for you when you are stumped!

Erika is absolutely amazing! I do not know what I would have done without her on our special day. She is so much fun and we are forever grateful to have met her. Her team is also wonderful and very professional. Everything came out perfect and no details were missed. I would recommend Erika and her team to all friends and family.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
