Bride's Bestie

Wedding Planner

Erica’s profound enjoyment in the art of ambiance, food, and festivities inspired and led her to start Bride’s Bestie. Prior to planning and designing weddings, Erica worked in the hospitality industry where for over 7 years she learned the secrets and skills behind event coordination, venue interior design, and upscale service. In 2009, Erica left the hospitality industry to explore other opportunities. It wasn’t long before she discovered her true passion for orchestrating and organizing beautiful events.

    My husband and I learned of Erica and her wedding planning business through a family friend. As a planner, Erica was always so pleasant and patient- she was available and always made sure I knew she was there if I needed her which was such a relief. We had a few different wedding traditions we wanted to incorporate and Erica made sure it happened just the way we wanted. Because our wedding space was limited, we had to do a space "flip" and use the ceremony space as the reception space. Erica worked closely with our venue and made it come off without a hitch. The ceremony space and the reception area looked amazing- it was hard to believe that they took place at the same place! Thank you to Erica and her assistant, We were able to fully experience our wedding day because we knew she and her assistant would set up everything and be able to handle anything that came up. Having that peace of mind let my husband and I enjoy every second of the best day of our lives!

    We loved working with Erica and her team at Bride's Bestie! Our wedding was more than a success. Our family and friends had such an incredible time, and the compliments still keep rolling in! Working with Erica was terrific. She seriously took so much of our stress away. One of our biggest worries while planning the wedding was that we would miss details because we didn't even realize we needed to make certain decisions. The first time we met with Erica, we knew that every detail would be taken care of. She came prepared to our first meeting with a detailed question list about our plans, and as we continued to plan, she would remind us to think of certain details so that nothing was overlooked. She was truly a great resource for many of our questions. Erica also designed our wedding. I kind of had an idea of what I want, but just didn't know how to pull everything together. Finding props and decorations can be very challenging and overwhelming, especially with the many options available out there. Erica stepped in and guided us. She helped choosing our linens, flowers, candles, lights, and many more, and everything turned out stunningly beautiful! Since the wedding, we have received so many texts and emails from our guests complimenting EVERY single aspect of our wedding- the venue, the food, the decor, the music, lighting, and the entire vibe. Those compliments truly are thanks to Erica because she made our fairy tale wedding come true. You can't go wrong with having Erica as your planner!

    We contacted Erica at Bride's bestie Events and ended up booking her for partial planning and day-of coordination. Having Erica help us with our final planning was by far one of the BEST decisions we made over the entire year of putting our wedding together. Every time I spoke to her, she put my mind at ease, and this was huge for me. I did have a vision of how I wanted everything styled but honestly I had a lot of doubts of how things/colors were going to come together, and having Erica's guidance was really a huge help. I completely trusted her and everything turned out so great. Erica was also excellent working with our florist to make sure that the centerpieces compliment our table-scape design. Another rewarding part of having Erica be involved in my wedding was how she took control over the timeline. Her and her team were so on top of the schedule, and we did not have anything to worry about on our wedding day. Trust me: contact Erica to help with your wedding and you won't regret!

    We hired Erica for a full service planning. She assisted me throughout the whole process from beginning to end and she kept me right on schedule as well as attended numerous meetings with me. She is a person who genuinely cares about you and is willing to go above and beyond.

    Seriously, I have no idea how I would have gotten married without Erica. She did SO much and took so much weight off our shoulders. She made sure that everything was setup and being executed the day of so that My hubby and I could just enjoy the day. She was magnificent!!

    Erica, I can not thank you enough for all you did. Thank you for talent and your hard work. I don't know what I would have done without you.
