    "I can be a control freak and I wanted to manage every detail. As a bride, you don't have time for that! So that's where I needed to hire a coordinator for the big day.
    Erin was so helpful in getting all of the vendors on the same page, and getting them all coordinated. It was easy to work with her and she is super organized and helpful. She was really easy to get ahold of, which was awesome.
    Erin has such an open personality and she really made all of my visions come to life, without me feeling like I had no input. She made the wedding feel so unstressful. It was nice to feel like everything was taken care of and I really didn't have anything to worry
    about!
    Erin is definitely like your friend. She really gets to know you and figures out what is important to you and makes your day go exactly how you dream of."

  • Let's Talk Process

    1

    Your Vision

     

    First, you talk, I listen. I prefer to meet in person, in my base location of Eugene, Oregon. But I also love doing video chats if you’re not close! You tell me where you’re at with planning, what’s troubling you, what you need help with, and what you are looking for from me.

    Your Trusted Partner

    After we connect, we decide would be best for your needs and your budget. For weddings, that's one of my packages, but I have other services and add-ons available, too! I'll send over our contract and an invoice, and once we sign, you'll pay a retainer that reserves your date on my calendar. Then we’re ready to roll with whatever you want to work on next!

    Your Worry-Free Event

    Throughout our journey, you can contact me however you want. I can help with making decisions, including finding and communicating with vendors, giving advice, searching and pricing decor, designing printed materials, and creating a timeline of the day to keep everything straight.

    "When I was wedding planning, I wasn’t sure if having a wedding coordinator was worth the price since our wedding was going to be so small. I loved Erin's package prices and how I could customize to what I needed for our wedding. I loved that she came out prior to our wedding to really help design our backyard venue and help me visualize the space. It was so nice to have someone with experience help me see the space and set up and not have to worry about the small stuff. On the day of the wedding, I got to actually enjoy the wedding and not worry about food or cutting cake! Erin was great about checking in with me throughout the process, and I could reach out via email or text and hear back right away. Erin is 100% worth paying for!"

    As a mother of the bride, my biggest hesitation was whether a wedding planner or coordinator would be worth the money (P.S. the answer is “Yes!”). One of our biggest challenges with the wedding was trying to figure out how to guide everyone through the rehearsal the day before, and then on the wedding day.

    Erin was so easy to work with for the wedding. She was grounded, realistic about expectations and confident in her ability to execute so many parts of the wedding. Erin worked so well with all of us, our various personalities and all of our input, questions and ideas. She helped fill in the gaps where we needed guidance and always had options to help us figure out what was going to work best for us.

    We were so happy with her service and so glad we hired her. She worked continually to keep things flowing at the rehearsal and wedding. We couldn’t have done it without her!

    "We hired Erin as our wedding coordinator and we could not have been happier! Erin was on top of the ball every step of the way and was eager to jump in to help when we ran into issues with certain vendors. On the day of, Erin was our go-to person for anything we needed and constantly made sure we were taken care of. From last minute hair adjustments, to making sure we both had food amidst all of the craziness, we were able to rely on her for anything! She truly was instrumental in making our day perfect and I can't thank her enough!"

    — Joe and Madeline Martin-Adams

  • The best weddings happen when there’s trust, good communication, and just the right amount of collaboration—and that’s exactly how I love to work. If you have a clear vision for your day but are open to suggestions that could make it even smoother or more meaningful, we’ll probably work really well together. I connect best with couples who know what’s important to them, have a general budget in mind, and are flexible enough to roll with the small stuff (because let’s be honest—weddings always come with a few surprises!).

    You don’t have to know everything—that’s what I’m here for—but if you’re excited to plan, trust my experience, and want someone who can take the pressure off while still making sure your voice is heard, we’re speaking the same language. You value kindness, clarity, and calm energy. You want to be involved, not overwhelmed. And you know that a beautiful wedding doesn’t mean everything goes perfectly—it means you’re surrounded by your people, feeling present and relaxed, knowing someone has your back.

    If that sounds like you, I think we’re going to get along great.
