Proud to Plan focuses on weddings in Philly and Wilmington, but we head down the shore, up to NYC, down to DC, and even out to Lancaster, from time-to-time. We travel wherever the event takes us!

When you dream about your wedding day, you envision the romance, the beautiful candlelight and flowers, the gorgeous guests in their fancy attire… you don’t think of the chaos, the questions, the hundreds of details that need to be arranged, coordinated, set up, taken down. You don’t consider who will help you execute the plans you’ve made, and who will step in to solve problems if the plans aren’t working out? Who will decorate? Who will pack up? Who can you trust to make sure your dreams become a reality?

As soon as your engagement takes place, the questions may begin to mount. It can get very overwhelming, really fast. Chances are, you’ve never planned an event this large before, so the smartest thing you can do is hire someone that has been there, done that; hundreds of times. Someone that can guide you through the planning process, becoming your friend, helping to design an event reflective of you, your fiancé, and your relationship. We want guests to leave your wedding knowing more about your love story. We want every guest to tell you that your wedding was the best they’ve ever attended… and we want them to mean it.

No matter how long you’ve been planning or how much you have done, the first time you chat with Proud to Plan, you’ll feel instant relief knowing your wedding is in excellent hands.

The first consult is totally free; we run through your plans and ideas and figure out where you need help. Our packages are affordable and easy to customize. We’ve created an easy approach to wedding planning and you’ll enjoy every minute of it!

Our signature system is effective, efficient and fun- we’re here to help, not take over, and we’ll think of things you’ve never considered, way ahead of time. Who wants to make decisions and answer questions on their wedding day? We get all that stuff decided on ahead of time, so your wedding day can be a fun, carefree party!

Organized, responsive and experienced

I am an officiant who worked with Proud to Plan on a recent wedding. I work with a lot of vendors and get to see how they are 'behind the scenes'. Erin Proud and her team are the best. They are completely organized, with every detail covered. They are easy to work with and make sure to attend to every aspect the wedding.

Wedding Day Planner

Erin and her team were an absolute pleasure to work with. From the very beginning, Erin was super responsive with all the emails and questions I had for her throughout my planning. Her team went over and beyond on our wedding day to make my husband and I feel like king and queen. I was so relaxed because of them. They absolutely crushed all of our details, decor, and all the behind the scenes coordinating to make our day a dream come true. I also included her team to help facilitate our rehearsal and it was super helpful and such a smooth process! I highly recommend investing in Erin and her team to help you plan your day and you too, will find it's the best day ever! Thank you!!

Best Decision We Made for Our Wedding!

Both my Husband and I agree that hiring Proud to Plan was the best decision we made for our wedding. We had a 19 month engagement and through that entire time, Erin was there to answer questions and calm our fears. She went through every detail ahead of our final meetings and was pivotal in our final venue walkthrough to make sure the day went as we wanted instead of the set approach the venue preferred. On the actual day of, our lead coordinator, Sammi, and her team (Katie and Grace) were absolute rockstars. As a very Type-A bride, I was able to relax and even if we had questions or concerns, Sammi and team had already solved the problem before we even noticed. We felt so taken care of by the team and they helped manage our very hectic family during all of the excitement. The day truly would not have been possible without them.

My company has worked with Erin and many members of her team for years. Not only are they the most professional event planning company in the northeast imho but they are a lot of fun to be around. You cannot go wrong with this company.
