Rain or Shine - She's Got You! :)
We worked with Erika for partial planning, but from the very beginning, it felt like a true partnership. She played such an essential role in bringing our wedding vision to life—recommending amazing vendors, keeping everything organized and on track, and always making sure we were looped in with helpful updates and next steps. Even when the weather threw a curveball on the big day, Erika handled everything with such calm and professionalism. Her down-to-earth, friendly, and easygoing nature made the planning process so much more enjoyable—and way less overwhelming. She also brought so many thoughtful, creative ideas to the table that we never would have considered on our own. As two people who really had no idea what to expect when planning a wedding, having Erika in our corner was so comforting. We felt so supported and genuinely cared for throughout the entire experience. And on the day itself, we were able to truly relax and take it all in (even with the rain), knowing she and her team had everything handled. She made us feel like we had it all together—and thanks to her, we kind of did! We’ve already received so many compliments on how seamless and beautiful everything was, and we couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out. We’re so grateful to Erika and can’t recommend her enough!
Erika is a life-saver
Working with Erika was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Her communication was always prompt, professional, and even had a touch of humor that put us at ease during the stressful wedding planning process. Her attention to detail and organizational skills were top-notch, ensuring our special day ran smoothly without a hitch. From the thoughtful planning to the seamless coordination, ELD Event Designs truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day beautiful, memorable, and stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner and highly recommend her services to any couple looking to have the wedding of their dreams.
best money I’ve ever spent
Hiring Erika was the best decision we made for our wedding! She went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect, and her calm, organized approach kept everything running smoothly. No matter what challenges came up, she handled them effortlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy our day without any stress. She truly made our vision come to life, and I can’t imagine going through the wedding planning process without her. If you’re looking for someone who is professional, detail-oriented, and an absolute joy to work with, Erika is the one!
Erika is AMAZING
From my very first conversation with Erika, I knew we just clicked. I have planned many events myself, so I really only needed a day-of coordinator, but she truly went above and beyond to take away my stress and to be able to enjoy the process. She was real, friendly, on-point and honest. As we went through the planning process, I loved her even more. She gave me space when I was feeling overwhelmed and couldn't answer tons of emails. She also stepped in and helped with anything I needed along the way. She even picked up our sweetheart table from a Facebook Marketplace seller that was closer to her house than mine! When the big day finally came, I could not have asked for a better coordinator. She ran the show exactly the way we needed it - she was strict with family who were distracted and extremely thorough with all the little details that I had weaved into my wedding. She was funny, focused, and literally EVERYONE loved her. I could not recommend Erika more. The amount of stress she took off my shoulders was priceless, but she is worth every penny - I wish we could work together again! You will not be disappointed if you hire her!
