About

Our brand has been built on years of professional experience throughout California and continues to create Good Times with people who desire to have a carefree experience all across the country. Our Founder, Erin James, who graduated from Cal Poly Pomona and majored in hospitality, has welcomed a team of creators that also encompasses the same passion and joy for hospitality!

Event planning to us is the opportunity to fly freely in our creative element, something that Erin and Olivia (Our Lead Event Coordinator) love to do! Whether our clients are pursuing “day of” coordination or seeking a partnership with us, to be even more involved in the planning. We pride ourselves on our attention to communication, details and creating an experience that allows our clients to feel at ease and in good hands. :)

We have seen and done it ALL! From bustling a bride’s gown, to jumping behind a busy bar during cocktail hour, to parking Grandma’s car before the valet arrived!!! Although it can be a little crazy, we love what we do and it’s reflected in our dedication to all the wonderful people we’ve had the pleasure of planning with and creating lifelong friends. Any celebration is a production and special to the ones involved. We want our clients/guests to feel like we are apart of their family that day, with our bright smiles and “ready to do” attitudes!!

Let’s create a Good Time together!

So glad we went with Good Times

Erin James was incredibly helpful, meeting with us several times leading up to our wedding. She was knowledgable and flexible with our non-traditional celebration. On the day of, she and her assistant Gabriel were excellent - keeping things running smoothly, problem-solving, and making sure that we and our guests all had a great time. Erin also helped us find a bartender who really went above and beyond - shout out to Elliot! It was great to work with Erin and Good Times.

Unlike any other!

If you are like me you probably spend HOURS researching for vendors for your wedding. LOOK NO FURTHER AND BOOK NOW! I can honestly say Erin's talent & skill is UNMATCHED. She is EVERYTHING and more than you would seek or desire in a Wedding Planner or Coordinator. She has a way of creating a vision that couldn't have even been dreamt up! She pours her heart and soul into your day to make it stress free and perfect!
Her sweet, kind and thoughtful personality is the exact person you hope to find who cares just as much about your special day as you do!!!! I can honestly say she was FOREVER made a mark on my heart and gave me a wedding day that I will always reflect back on and have her to thank!!!!! From the bottom of my heart, I cannot recommend Erin and Good Times enough.

Beautiful Day!

Erin was amazing! She’s so organized and thinks of everything. I was able to just relax and enjoy our day knowing everything was out of my hands and she was taking care of it. If you need someone who can take charge and do all the little stuff on the day of so you can enjoy the hullabaloo of a wedding day, she’ll be what you need. She was able to give me advice beforehand so day of was easy!

When Life Gives You Lemons

Getting married in 2020 is no easy task. Every curve ball was thrown our way. Originally we had planned a wedding in June, then later rescheduling to September, then realizing that it would be better to have a smaller (safer wedding) at a smaller venue. Through all of that, Erin was always accommodating, flexible and willing to work with us to make it all happen. We were able to achieve the perfect wedding experience with a small guest count in an intimate setting. I dont think we would have wanted it any other way.

Flawless Event

I hired Erin for a baby shower and could not have been happier, my only regret is that I didn’t have her for my wedding !
My event was truly flawless due to Erin’s expertise. I have never been able to enjoy an event that I hosted but having the stress completely removed with Erin’s planning allowed me to have the best time .
Erin is the epitome of professional and extremely detail-oriented. She is organized and truly takes the time to understand your unique style and vision for the event .
Erin brought up points and ideas that would never have crossed my mind and my shower was perfection because of it.
I can’t thank Erin enough for her expertise and am looking forward to using her again for any event I am having !

Relax, Erin’s got it!

What I thought a wedding planner does, versus what I experienced on my wedding day, my mind was absolutely blown. Erin is AMAZING and was so helpful on my wedding day. Before looking at “Day of” wedding coordinators, I knew I needed some help to ease the wedding day stress of planning and getting everyone/everything organized. When talking with Erin, I immediately could feel my shoulders relax, with her professionalism, attention to detail, and fantastic questions of things I didn’t think about. On my wedding day, I could simply be in the moment (emotions and all) and Erin was my right hand woman of grabbing me tissues and mints, to telling all the vendors when to eat, handling tips, and cleaning up. We highly recommend Good Times! Thank you Erin!

Wonderful!

Erin and her team did an incredible job of helping us plan our destination wedding. She reached out to vendors and found us some incredible people to work with! To top things off we were actually located in Japan the entire process of planning the big day so, Erin was crucial to executing the perfect wedding day to us. Unfortunately, we also had some contractual issues with the venue but Erin was quick to point it out and get everything situated. Thank you so much Erin!

Amazing wedding planner from start to finish.

We wanted a beautiful, intimate wedding and Erin made all of our dreams come true. From start to finish Erin is the commensurate professional. She took all of our ideas (and came up with more amazing ideas that we hadn’t even thought of) and turned them into our dream wedding. All along the journey, she kept us informed, on task, and on time. Did I mention that she had less than 4 months to plan our wedding? Yeah, she’s a rock star! We were never stressed along the way because she handled everything. All we had to do was show up to our wedding. Our guests commented on how beautiful our wedding was. I couldn’t recommend Good times more!!

Great Services for Amazing Value! Really Cares About Helping Create A Great Day and Future.

Erin was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond what we originally thought we were paying for. We had done most of our planning ourselves but were in definite need of a day-of coordinator to handle everything to take our stresses away. She took care of contacting all our vendors for us to ensure everything was getting ready in the weeks leading up to the wedding. Wedding day was seamless, taking all stress away from us ensuring all that we planned went to plan and all our guests knew what to do without us having to tell them.

A very important note to show how amazing Erin was: We had a sand ceremony as part of our wedding ceremony, and at our rehearsal Erin overheard our officiant asking us if we had gotten white sand to go along with our colored sand to signify Jesus in our lives. We had totally forgotten to get white sand and couldn't figure out if we would have time to get it on our own. Erin, without being asked, went to the store after our rehearsal and got white sand for our wedding the following day.

The value of services felt tremendous. We honestly felt we paid far too little for the amazing service that Erin and Good Times provided us on our wedding day. If you are looking for a caring and great wedding coordinating service, you will get far more than you pay for at a great cost going with Good Times.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
