Made Our Wedding Day Stress-Free

Erika helped bring our wedding vision to life while keeping everything calm and manageable. From the start, she was responsive, organized, and always available to answer questions or schedule calls. She helped us talk through ideas and offered thoughtful recommendations when we were uncertain.

Day of, she was exceptional. Erika handled everything, kept the flow going, and made sure the wedding ran smoothly. Even small hiccups, like table assignments being shuffled, were managed so we barely noticed.

Her biggest value is the peace of mind she provides, knowing everything is in her capable hands allowed us to fully enjoy our day. We would recommend Erika to anyone looking for a planner who is professional, thoughtful, and truly makes your wedding day effortless.

Thanks so much Erika!!

We cannot recommend Erika enough if you're looking for a wedding coordinator. With her fun and laidback energy, she made the weeks leading up to the wedding as stress-free as possible. She was timely and organized throughout and really helped us to make sure our timeline was planned to the last minute. On the day of, she made everything run like clockwork! It was great to be able to let go of the reins once the wedding started and know that she was organized, attuned to what we wanted, and adaptable. If we had to do it over again (which hopefully we won't!!), we'd pick Erika every time

Hiring Erika was the best decision I made!

Her personable nature made communication effortless, and her relentless can-do spirit alleviated my nerves.

As a DIY bride, my wedding had a lot of moving parts and details. We were planning our CA wedding from the east coast which made it really difficult to get a grasp on how everything would come together. Additionally, we had some vendors who were difficult to communicate with. Erika handled the final details with these vendors and seamlessly tied all the pieces together so that it all flowed flawlessly, allowing me to relax and truly be present on the big day.

What sets Erika apart is her ability to tackle problems and solve them creatively and thoughtfully on the fly. Given that we only had our venue for ten hours AND we finalized a lot of details at the last minute, the pressure was on to set everything up, transition for the reception, and then remove everything by the end of the night. This tight timeline, coupled with unexpected issues from our rental vendor, created quite a challenge. Erika understood what would have the biggest impact and found creative solutions that kept everything running smoothly. Her keen eye and creativity transformed the venue into an awe-inspiring setting that far exceeded my expectations. I was so blown away when I came down the aisle at how everything came together, it was beautiful.

For anyone in need of a wedding coordinator, Erika will handle all the details so that you get to experience a smooth and joyful wedding day. For us, she swooped in and tackled a truly complex set of vendors, venue spaces and timelines to bring together an incredible wedding that we’ll remember for the rest of our lives. I can’t imagine having done this without her. THANK YOU ERIKA!!

Couldn't have gotten married without Erika

Of everyone my partner and I worked with for our wedding, I can easily say that Erika is our #1 recommendation. Our cross-cultural Hindu wedding would have been a disaster without her.

Erika is organized, detail oriented, an excellent communicator, thorough, exceptionally hard-working, and has an incredible eye for design. We worked with Erika to plan and execute our Hindu wedding in Palm Springs while planning from the Bay Area. Erika goes above and beyond as a planner, she did everything from designing and fabricating our outfits with a seamstress in India to hosting multiple meetings with our families to ensure everyone was on the same page. Erika has an amazing eye for design, she designed our centerpieces and programs, and did so much to make our Hindu ceremony beautiful. If you are having a cross-cultural wedding, I can't recommend Erika enough.

Erika is the best!

Having Erika as my wedding planner made the lead up and day of incredibly smooth and easy. From the start, she helped me understand everything I needed to think through and kept me organized with spreadsheets. There is so much to do and keep track of *day of* that it’s easy to underestimate and/or get overwhelmed, so having a point person like Erika is essential to keep things rolling, talk to and assist all the vendors, as well as deal with last minute changes. Trust, you do not want to be stressed about logistics on your wedding day! Erika is someone you can trust to keep it all together with professionalism and kindness.

She also has a warm and vibrant personality, which makes working with her so much fun.
