    The best in the biz!

    Everyone needs an Ericka on their wedding day. She was a total sounding board leading up to the big day and was so on top of all the logistics, and everything turned out absolutely beautifully! We truly could not have been happier - the day flowed so seamlessly and we were completely at ease through it all, thanks to Ericka. Highly, highly recommend.

    Ericka is the cheerleader every bride needs!

    Ericka was such a delight to work with! I realized early in the wedding planning process that I was going to need some help after some pretty devastating life events. I interviewed several wedding planners, but Ericka's enthusiasm and genuine joy won me over. I hired EGE for Day-Of, Design, and Vendor Coordination in January 2021 for my October 2021 wedding. Ericka compiled vendors for me to look over, joined vendor meetings, and generally supported this bride that is awful at making decisions. Whenever I felt stressed or overwhelmed with the process, her confidence and cheerleading enthusiasm comforted me. I also ended up choosing her new floral business fleur. by Ericka Greene Events for my flowers and WOW! They were absolutely gorgeous!!

    Ericka and her assistant made our big day feel so easy and seamless - checking in to see if I or my bridesmaids needed anything; beautifully honoring my recently passed Mom and Grandmother; extending our time at the end of the night when I wanted to dance a little longer; even repairing a groomsman's torn pants at the last minute! She was always ready and willing to do whatever needed to be done to help, with a big smile and infectious energy. I highly recommend hiring EGE for any part of your wedding planning process!

    Best decision of my life...other than the groom!

    Ericka is wonderful and will do anything to make sure your day is everything you wanted it to be and more!! She's precise, detailed oriented, and incredibly talented with floral arrangements. She helped me plan my elopement in Columbus while I was 3000 miles away in California. Ericka scoped out locations for the ceremony, restaurants, and gave me excellent recommendations for lodging, makeup/hair, and a photographer. She kept my budget in mind had lots of tips and tricks to remain within the limit. She made my job as the bride easy, I couldn't have done it without her! Ericka goes above and beyond, I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

    I was able to enjoy my wedding day thanks to Ericka!

    I hired Ericka as the day-of-coordinator, and it was the best investment ever! I was comfortable with the planning process, but needed someone to hand everything over on the wedding day. Ericka was very organized, details oriented, and prepared for everything. She helped me and my bridesmaids put together our bouquets in the morning of, helped set up the decorations in a short amount of time, and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the day. I barely had to talk to any vendors and was able to just have fun on my wedding day. Not only was Ericka a great coordinator, she also truly cares for the couple she works with. She was a huge emotional support for me in the last stretch of wedding planning, as things became busy and unexpected emergency happened. I really appreciate all the work she had done for us, and already miss working with her.

    The best wedding planner

    Working with Ericka was the best and we genuinely miss our weekly check-ins! We got engaged in December 2019 and started looking for a wedding planner in January 2020. We live in Chicago and knew we were going to need someone local to help us plan our wedding. We had a few calls with different planners but after our meeting with Ericka we knew she was the one! She was engaging, professional, and kind. She made us feel confident that she understood our vision and could make it happen without a six-figure budget. We hired Ericka for her full planning service, and it was the best decision we ever made.

    Due to Covid we had some downtime in our wedding planning from March 2020 – August 2020 but Ericka still checked in on us. She provided us a list of vendors to look at once we set our date. When we got our venue, North Bank Park Pavilion, in August 2020 we got right to wedding planning. We worked with Ericka to go through the list of vendors and select who we would get quotes from. She set up all the initial consultations, joined us in our meetings, and guided us on things to be mindful of. By October 2020 we had all the big vendors booked (catering, DJ, floral, hair, make-up).

    Ericka was so helpful and supportive throughout the whole planning process. She provided us a timeline of events and would regularly check in to make sure everything was on track. Additionally, she was always so calm! If we were ever stressed about something we could talk to her about it and she never seemed stressed, she would just handle it.

    The weeks leading up to wedding day and our wedding day itself went along so smoothly. We know Ericka worked so hard, but she made it seem effortless. Our wedding day is everything we dreamed it would be and more! Ericka and her assistant Miranda knocked it out of the park. Every single detail was accounted for, and the night flowed perfectly. They took care of the setup, vendor communications, tips, tear down, loading up our stuff at the end of the night, and dropping everything off to our family the next morning.

    Ericka even coordinated with our maid of honor and best man to have a surprise mariachi band come to the cocktail hour. It was so special and something we will never forget. The day could not have been more perfect!

    My list of reasons to hire Ericka could go on forever. Do yourself a favor and hire Ericka for your wedding!

    Best wedding planner!

    Hiring Ericka was the best decision we made in the whole planning process! She was great to work with and saved our entire wedding when our first venue cancelled with no notice 7 weeks before the wedding date. Ericka is incredibly creative, kind, organized and hard working. She also did the floral arrangements for us which were beautiful and exactly what we had envisioned!

    Leave it to Ericka

    Just let her handle it--you won't be sorry. My husband and I used EGE for our November 2019 wedding, and it was one of the best wedding decisions we made. Ericka provided a-la-carte services that fit our budget and timeline. She helped us flesh out our vision, talk through decisions, and even attended vendor appointments in our place when we moved out of town 6 months before the wedding! She talked me off ledges and made me feel confident--she was truly my advocate when the industry made things complicated. Thanks to Ericka for allowing us to relax and enjoy our day; it was truly the best gift she could have given us.

    Ericka is who you need on your wedding day/month!

    Ericka was by far the biggest saving grace for our wedding day. My now husband and I are the first in our family to get married, as you can imagine neither of us knew what we were doing. Although we had hired EGE to support month-of coordination, she gave me a ton of tips and recommendations for vendors during our first meeting a year prior to my wedding. Regarding the month of the wedding day, Ericka has such a calm demeanor and can handle any tough situation. We had several nuiances with our wedding; a cultural celebration, family friends involved in the planning and wanting to make sure the day went as smoothly as possible. Ericka did her best to take as much as she could off my plate! She led the entire ceremony rehearsal, helped set up the day before and even helped me with my bouquet construction party at the FlowerMan. She stayed and assisted my family with tear down, too. She is an incredible support for any bride, and my husband and I were so lucky to have her on our wedding month. I have already recommended her to several of my family friends, too.

    Bad experience

    Not at all what we expected. Seemed reluctant to do anything other than what we could easily do ourselves. We ended terminating the vendor and paying half of our 1500.00 fee for making a few calls.

    Ericka Greene Events's reply:

    Laura - Thank you for your feedback; I will certainly use it to better communicate with future clients. Unfortunately, many of the tasks you asked about were outside of the scope of the contracted Day-of Coordination service.

    I wish you both well and really hope you have a wonderful wedding and marriage!

    Multiple guests asked if this was her first event

    After much deliberation (because it is not usually something I would do) but I decided that I needed to post a review that I cannot recommend Ericka’s services. I’m sure if you’re hosting a small event, going through a venue that does most of the coordinating for you and works with the same vendors regularly she would be fine but for a creative wedding with lots of moving parts she is not equipped. Nothing altered in my plans for my wedding from our initial meeting a year and half before my wedding and I just don’t think she realized she was in over her head until it was the day of the event. Initially we discussed that she’d have an assistant to help her day of but she didn’t AND she took a floral job the morning of my wedding. It was definitely a chaotic event- but weddings can be and there was ample time and obvious signs that I was I need of more constructive support. She made very few recommendations and asked vague questions about my stress levels that did not prove helpful. She was unable to make connections with other vendors- like bar and event staff, or driving staff. She showed up 45 minutes late on the wedding day without a clipboard or running list in hand and there were lots of things that could’ve been fixed before the event began if she’d poured the amount of energy that I expected that she would into the day. The icing on the cake was that she left before the band was finished (which we had discussed she would stay until they were finished at midnight) and when she left, she left the only set of shuttle keys on an envelope in the kitchen which yielded a very stressful end to the evening as no one knew where they were. She never even reached out to follow up after the event- I view that as a serious lack of professionalism. I wish her the best of luck in her endeavors but think that she needs to be more honest with her clients about the level of support that she is capable of before they hire her for the biggest event of their life.

    Ericka Greene Events's reply:

    Hi Lauren,

    I am so disappointed to read this. Based on the multiple detailed meetings we had leading up to and during the week of your wedding, I felt very confident in executing your vision.

    As a wedding planner, a large part of my role is to insulate clients from logistical details and questions as much as possible on wedding day, so that they may be fully present and enjoy it. This includes collaborating with all other vendors and having constant communication throughout the day to ensure the clients’ priorities are met. It is unfortunate that you believe that this was not the case.

    I do wish you the best in your marriage.

    Ericka
