Hiring Erika to help plan and coordinate our wedding was easily the best decision we made in this process! Erika was communicative and professional - always taking the time to answer my questions or talk through any uncertainties I had. She was also very flexible, centering what we wanted at all times, never pushy about her preferred vendors or anything like that. We initially hired Erika for "Final Wedding Planning and Day of Coordination" but ended up upgrading our package because we were so impressed with her! The day of she made everything come to fruition seamlessly which allowed my husband I to just fully enjoy the day and our guests and not worry about a thing. She has an immense wealth of knowledge of vendors, design ideas...you name it! She really took our vision for our wedding and turned it into a cohesive and beautiful weekend. Can't thank Erika and her team enough!

When we first started our wedding planning journey, we felt overwhelmed with the expectations that came with it, and discerning what we really wanted. After some time, my partner & I decided to focus on making a wedding that felt uniquely us — cozy, intimate, at our home. To pull this off, we found Erika — and we’re so glad we did.

We had woefully underestimated the complexity of a home wedding thinking it’d be “simpler,” but Erika helped us navigate all the complexities. We really wanted our home to be transformed, and with that, came a lot of planning & design work. Erika listened and not only helped us nail our design vision, but she was organized, helped us find amazing (!) vendors, and kept us on timelines. When we were searching for our wedding planner, we felt like some excelled more in organization, and some in design, but it was hard to find a perfect blend of both. Erika is absolutely both!

In the end, our wedding day was truly a dream. Both my husband & I were taken aback at how our home transformed into a wedding venue day-of. Erika was a master at helping everything run smoothly — we both went throughout the day getting to really relish in the moment, and not having to worry about a thing. All our friends & family kept gushing to us at how special and intimate the day was. We couldn’t be more grateful for Erika and all the months of work that went into this day. Would highly recommend hiring her!

We had THE GREATEST ADVENTURE WEDDING!!!! It’s all in the name & they surely live up to it. All I can say is HIRE ERIKA!!!!! From the moment my husband & I decided we wanted to elope I of course did what any ‘bride to be’ does & that was search the internet & in my case that was Instagram. I was following all the wedding/elopement hashtags, following vendor after vendor until the day I stumbled upon Erika & Ryans page & immediately fell in love. I was SO excited to present the idea to my fiancé & he loved it too. It started out with ideas of just hiking some mountain locally like in a lot of the photos we had seen, then I as always got a little more adventurous & suggested Scotland; for our love of history & our favorite show we connect on “Outlander”. That’s when we decided to contact the greatest adventure weddings, if anyone could make it happen it was them for sure! Without any hesitation Erika was on board! My husband & I ended up deciding on North Carolina as we felt more comfortable getting married in the states & our favorite show “Outlander” (our wedding theme inspired) was currently set in North Carolina about 200 years ago. she handled it so gracefully & reassured us that this was our day and whatever we wanted it was going to happen! She did not disappoint the entire time. So we did just that; we went back in time to the Blue Ridge Mountains, stayed in a 200 year old cabin & got married on Grandfather mountain. We soon learned that Erika & Ryan are also Scottish so she had so many tips for us including our handfasting ceremony! The most special way we will forever be able to display our unity! Now I can’t say I wasn't a nervous bride because I definitely felt it, I felt all the nerves all the way up to the big day! That was my main factor in deciding to hire a wedding coordinator. I wanted our day to go completely smoothly with no stress. Since we knew we wanted to elope no matter what & that was most important to us & what was also just as important was making sure we didn’t have to think on our special day! We wanted more than anything to just be able to breathe and fully take in this monumental moment. With our decision of eloping alone came with knowing we wouldn’t have any family or friends there on the day of to help us or just to be there for comfort; those were nerves I was feeling. However along the way of planning the out of state elopement we realized we didn’t just hire planners we hired friends! The kind of people who care for your big day just as if it were their very own; putting everything into consideration, thinking of things before we even had to. The real magic I will say had to be on the day of! Because as a bride you dream of this day all your life and your head is just filled with so many thoughts you feel like you’re constantly spinning. But from the moment Erika showed up that morning of our wedding she came to conquer the day with her superwoman organization powers. It took me a moment to realize that I didn’t even have to think! Erika was doing that for me too! She truly was the best wedding gift we gave ourselves because she made our day what it was. She made it all happen for us! From scouting out our photo and ceremony spots the day before in the foggy mountains in a place she has never been! To then have backup plans in case of bad weather, as well as being in contact with all our vendors for us & making sure to have our cake, flowers & all our meals for the day! Talk about wow we felt like the whole entire day was all about us! & it was! No outside distractions, my husband & I left our phones at the cabin when we left for our day of adventures, we had no need for them, just to be with one another!! I still am so grateful for all the little things she does that make a huge difference! Things like steaming my dress, helping the groom iron, making sure our photographers had our special props and mementos & that everything was even put back and returned just as neatly as it was given. Again I cannot say this enough if you don’t want to have to think on the most important day of your life then HIRE ERIKA!!!! She will make sure from the moment you decide to book with her that everything will be handled and any obstacles can be overcome. We were lucky enough to have no issues, we honestly couldn’t have had a more PERFECT WEDDING DAY. It’s ALL WE TALK ABOUT, it's all I even think about. For us having Erika as our planner was so much more special for us because as I mentioned previously she has Scottish background & we wanted an Outlander wedding (Scottish tv series) she immediately was just as excited as we were!! She knew all the music from the show, so I didn’t even really have to tell her what vibe we were going for, she totally got it, she knew what she was doing! You can say SHE UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT! Everyone we have spoken to up to and after our wedding all it has been is singing praises about how we really did have the BEST DAY EVER no matter how “cliché” that is to say but that is exactly what it was. We couldn’t have had a better team by our sides for these most meaningful moments, each time I would look over at Erika she would have a big smile on her face & it would just fill my heart up that much more having all that love & support surrounding us! Not to mention having Erika as our OFFICIANT as well was oh so special & she made it absolutely magical, making us feel like we were the only people in the world at that moment. And it doesn’t stop there, with Erika choosing the most beautiful location to say our vows, that we were blown away by! Having your wedding also be a complete surprise in a way was our most favorite part! If we didn’t have Erika to scout out location spots the day before & the morning too played a huge part in how meaningful her intentions are. The backdrop of our ceremony & the moment the music played as I was walking up to my husband for the first time to officially tie the knot; wouldn’t have been what it was if it was for Erika and her team in finding the most perfect area that really fit into what I now call “THE GREATEST OUTLANDER WEDDING” She made our dreams come true, every vision we had she helped bring it to life. Thank you for giving us truly the greatest adventure wedding, it is a day we will forever be replaying in our minds, I know our hearts are forever full from the most perfect wedding day. THANK YOU!!!
