Wedding Planner and Coordinator

I have been planning events for the last 20 years, on the side. I have always loved hosting people, and I've done a few bridal and baby showers. At my previous job, I helped plan several employee luncheons and holiday parties, with about 100-150 employees attending. I even led the planning a few times. In the summers of 2021 and 2022, I became an on-site wedding coordinator for a local venue, with 5 weddings each summer. In 2023, I coordinated 11 weddings, and in 2024, I coordinated and planned 17 weddings. I'm halfway booked up for 2025!

I have always loved event planning. I am extremely organized, have a great attention to detail, an eye for what matters, and I love helping people. This translates so well into event planning - staying organized with all the different aspects that go into an event, making sure details aren't missed (but neither is the big picture) and making sure people feel like their event was successful with my help! Helping people gives me a connection to people that I might not normally connect with. I know that my help makes your life better. This business makes me feel like I am doing something real, something that really matters to people.

In three words: Calm, Organized, Supportive

Erin was an exceptional wedding planner that exceeded our expectations in every way. From our very first interaction, her communication was quick, detailed, professional, and warm. Erin’s quality of work was simply fantastic - she helped us navigate this special day both professionally and emotionally, solving most problems before they even happened. Her attention to detail and execution was wonderful, ensuring our wedding day was exquisite from start to finish. When I think back on our wedding, I will always think of Erin and how she made it the best day of my life 3

I had the pleasure of working a wedding with Erin that I was photographing. Let’s just say a lot went wrong that day thanks to Mother Nature but Erin handled everything quickly and with grace. She was so easy to work with as another industry professional and she really cared about honoring her brides & grooms vision for the day.
An absolute pro!

I worked with Erin as a florist, she was the event planner for a large event and they were in need of florals for their event. While the client requested some unique touches for their florals - Erin handled all of their requests and their back and forth with diplomacy and was a pleasure to work with. I look forward to any opportunity to work with her again in the future.

I've been planning events, and a couple of weddings, throughout my entire life. I love hosting! At my previous job, I was on several committees to help plan employee events, and then eventually became head of those committees. These events had 100+ people at them. I started partnering with a local venue to help them coordinate weddings in 2021, which really got me going into the wedding biz! Last year, in my first year of business, I coordinated 11 weddings. In 2024, I have 16 weddings booked so far, and I'm booking into 2025 already!

I'm mostly a one woman show! That is, I really like the coordination aspect of weddings (and events), and bringing all of the pieces together to make one incredible event for you! I can bring on an assistant to help me, especially if we are starting from a non-wedding location (like a backyard). I help with layout beforehand, so setup goes faster and smoother. I like to start with all of the hardscape items, like tents and furniture, then move onto linens and decor. Flowers and anything that could melt go last. I love working with your friends and family to make things go faster!

Over the years, just about everything. I have experience with setting up and running large, public events with thousands of people. I have done baby and bridal showers. I have done surprise parties, adult birthday parties and retirement parties. I can help with larger dinner parties and rehearsal dinners. I also help with fundraisers and galas.

That's a great question! I offer all of my clients unlimited communication, which means I'm not tracking the time I talk to you. You can text me or call me, email or DM me, and I do video chats too. I'm open with that communication because I know that you are busy and trying to plan in your down time, which means you may need to text me at 8 pm to ask a question! I want you to feel supported by me and to get questions answered immediately. Right now, this works for my business! On your wedding day, the hours I am coordinating for you are based on the package you choose.
