Reviews of Erin Braun
Erin is an incredibly talented artist and designer. She took such an interest in learning about our backgrounds and cultures. After hearing about our overall vision for the day, she came up with detailed color/inspiration boards and later a thorough design proposal. Erin was able to create a cohesive theme, incorporating elements from both cultures, which was present throughout our wedding day. We received countless compliments on everything ranging from our wedding invitations to the hand painted tiles that were used for the escort cards. Erin was able to incorporate so many unique and beautiful elements (a welcome board in three different languages, a custom-designed chalk pattern outside our ceremony entrance, and hand illustrated wedding programs) that left such a lasting impression on our guests. We are still receiving compliments on the stunning layout and design of our reception.
In addition to being incredibly talented, Erin is very organized, detailed-oriented and efficient in all of her work. She really takes the time to get to know her clients and to create design items that feel authentic to them as a couple. She is patient, kind and understanding; she is certainly someone you want in your corner during the stressful moments of planning a wedding! My entire family loved working with Erin and we would recommend her without hesitation.
She also did our invitations which came out gorgeous. We still are getting compliments to this day!
Let me preface the rest of the review by saying that the wedding was in New Jersey and we lived in DC. Whatever doubts we initially had about working with a supplier from a different state was quickly dispelled because of the organized system that Erin put in place for her clients. She used a project management tool so we could monitor if we were on track with the schedule and deadlines and budget. Erin also made herself accessible to us via email and some in-person meetings and we really appreciated that, especially if there was a wedding-related issue we weren't quite sure how to handle.
We had a very specific vision in mind for the wedding invitation - and that was to combine elements of our cultural background (we had a Jewish-Chinese wedding) and use the same invitation layout for our ketubah. Erin created a very lovely wedding invitation for us put together her watercolor painting skills and her knowledge of printing. We had a budget we were working with and Erin was accommodating about it. She collaborated with us thoughtfully so we could get the type of wedding invitation we desired without going over our cost allocation. They say hindsight is always 20-20, but we are glad we put a lot of thought in our wedding invitation because that really sets the tone for the wedding.
Erin has a good eye for style and on top of that has a great personality, she translates her ideas and creates something magical for her clients!
We live in Connecticut, Erin is based out of NYC and the wedding was in Vermont. You would think this would pose issues, but with Erin involved, the entire process could not have been more seamless. We hired Erin for month-of planning and event design but she did so much more. After meeting a couple times, most of our communication was via email and phone. She was immediately on top of everything by reaching out to vendors and introducing herself, and giving us timelines and deadlines to follow. She completely understood us and helped our vision become a reality by churning out one great idea after another, all while staying within our budget. She is such a talented artist and we saw this side of her shine with the event design and details, and through her collaboration with the florist. She is flexible and understanding, timely and responsive, and simply wonderful to work with. We were so comfortable working with her that at times we trusted her opinion more than our own!
Our wedding turned out to be more beautiful than we could have imagined and we owe it all to Erin. It wasn’t just us – our guests were awed and have repeatedly told us what a wonderful job she did. Our families and the wedding party were able to relax and thoroughly enjoy the day, and we are so grateful she was on top of everything. We cannot speak highly enough about the quality of her work and about her as a person, and recommend her without hesitation.
Being in Ohio and working with Erin in NYC was not an issue. Working through email and meeting with her when she was in town was so easy. Erin made us feel so comfortable and special. She offered her suggestions after we gave her details of what we envisioned for our wedding. The custom bilingual wedding invitations were highly commented on by my family in Italy. They raved on the paper choice and envelopes.
I can't speak more highly of Erin and my husband and I are so grateful for her work!!!
Without a doubt, I would recommend, and have recommended to several brides (who have also been wowed and hired) Erin and all her magic. She is a pleasure to work with, and I can't wait to find another reason to work with her soon. Her talented work can be seen on Style Me Pretty, which was instrumental to our wedding being chosen for a feature. Thank you thank you Erin!!!
Thank you, Erin!!
