Hello there! My name is Erika and I am a full-service Certified Wedding Planner based in Tampa, FL. I've been in the event industry since 2016 and started my business in 2022. I am certified through The Certified Wedding Planner Society.

Awarded Best of Zola
Erika was the BEST choice!!! She is detail-oriented, always prepared, and so enjoyable to work with. I never felt stressed or overwhelmed because she was always calm - it gave me such confidence! I did the month-of package which is great for the bride that still wants to be mostly planning it but does not want to handle all of the details the month of. It was the perfect package for me to be stress-free in knowing she was following up with every vendor. Honestly though, working with Erika was so smooth, I probably would do her full-service package if I were having a do-over. I genuinely cannot recommend her enough. Even my guests were coming up to me and speaking so highly about how well she handled the weather issues and little things. All a bride wants is a stress-free experience and you will get that with Erika! 3

I truly can’t say enough amazing things about Carissa and her team at Positively Charming Weddings. She was the very first vendor I hired for my wedding, a year and a half in advance. Within the first 2 minutes of chatting with Carissa the first time, I knew we were the perfect match. She is incredibly organized, compassionate, an amazing listener, and isn’t afraid to take the lead and make decisions when necessary. She is thoughtful, calm, has a wealth of wedding industry knowledge and was able to provide personalized suggestions based on my preferences at every turn. To be honest, I was originally super nervous and anxious to hire a wedding planner, as I am a very type A person because of my job as a programs and event planner. But Carissa exceeded all expectations and truly was able to allow me to relax and enjoy my wedding weekend without a worry in the world. She was a problem solver every step of the way. For example, she offered to manually fixed my seating chart the day before the wedding and found a print shop willingly to print very specific last minute signage (both things that were my fault that they were delayed/wrong). She kept not only me, but my husband and both families on track leading up to the wedding, provided monthly checklists, was available via phone and email for my questions, and even provided bridal party itineraries the weekend of. Her and her team were incredibly easy to work with, and our other vendors and bridal party members said the exact same thing. She can work with anyone, with any personality type, and makes you feel important and heard. If you want someone to go above and beyond for you, look no further! She will make your day everything YOU want it to be. Couldn’t recommend her and her team more…I walked away with a new friend!

Christina was so easy to work and communicate with and really took the time to understand my vision and incorporated anything we wanted into the wedding timeline.

She really made everything leading up to the wedding seamless and once she sent the absolute “final timeline,” I couldn’t help but to feel so appreciative and grateful for her hard work and I just knew our wedding day was in great hands! Wedding day finally arrives and we were able to meet the rest of Christina’s team!! Christina, Leanna, Katie, & Heather - seriously the best girl team ever!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
I have waited 2.5 years to write this review and could not be more thrilled with our decision to work with Vine and Branch! Tatiana was the best investment we made into our big day, not only was she our planner but our planning bff! When we switched our wedding from California to Italy she didn’t even hesitate and jumped right into helping us pick our venue, research vendors and manage the most insane logistics I’ve ever seen! Whenever I was stressed or overwhelmed with a situation she was already working on figuring out a solution with the vendor and was ready with plan B, C and D just in case. Whenever we faced a design dilemma I would text her with the preface of “okay this might sound crazy..,” and crazy enough she was always on the same page. She was also honest with me about changing direction with certain plans if she knew something else would work better. When you live in Pinterest like I do, it was important that I had someone who gave me honest opinions and made sure the design worked together seamlessly! I have heard so many horror stories from friends about their planners not taking their budget seriously but throughout our entire time working with Tatiana she never pushed us to pick a more expensive option or made us feel bad if we had to drop something off of an invoice. She was also upfront with us from day 1 about what it would cost to create our vision. Day of the wedding she was an absolute rock star! I’ve worked in the industry and have been in charge of running events so letting go of control is hard for me but she managed everything without a hitch and I was able to be so present knowing she had everything handled! Seeing the design we have been working on for 2 years was absolutely surreal! Everything was stunning and all of our guests absolutely raved about everything! I truly couldn’t have done this without Tatiana and I already miss all of our crazy conversations and shared Italy reels! Let’s do a reunion in Ravello, okay? Ciao for now! Megan and Conor

I can honestly say that Ali was our wedding-planning superhero! When we first started planning our wedding, I wasn’t even considering hiring a wedding planner since our venue came with a coordinator. However, looking back now, I truly have no idea how we would have pulled off our wedding without Ali. She was absolutely indispensable! I did most of the vendor research and design planning on my own, and while that was manageable, Ali’s services took the entire experience to the next level. She was a lifesaver when it came to the logistics. She kept me organized, helped me stay on track, and made sure I was realistic about what could be done within my vision and budget. Even when the process got overwhelming, Ali was there, ensuring I didn’t get lost in the details or stray too far from my goals. On the wedding day itself, Ali truly shined. From what I was told, there were a few hiccups throughout the day (which is inevitable with any event of this scale), but I never had to worry about a thing. Ali quietly and efficiently handled everything behind the scenes, ensuring that I wasn’t aware of any issues and always had a solution in place before I even knew there was a problem. Thanks to her, I was able to relax and enjoy every moment of our special day without stress. If you’re on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, I can wholeheartedly recommend Ali. She made all the difference for us, and I’ll forever be grateful for her dedication, expertise, and calm presence. She is an absolute gem!

I’m so grateful for Chiell and her team supporting me before my wedding and during my wedding. I seriously didn’t have to worry about a thing the day of our wedding and the team took care of every situation that popped up. They took care of everything from contacting my vendors before the wedding, keeping in touch with vendors, directing guests, helping set up the venue with decor that I brought, and even loaded up cars at the end of the night. They were incredibly organized, thoughtful, and always kept us on track throughout the day of the wedding process and before. One of the highlights of this team is their familiarity with Rancho Las Lomas, they knew what they had to do beforehand and carried everything out flawlessly (especially considering the size of this venue). The team even made sure to carry out the vision that I had in my head, and did a better job than what I could have imagined. They all paid attention to the little details that I even would have missed, this team is truly impressive. I will forever recommend LVLF to anyone that I know that is having an upcoming wedding, they are seriously the greatest team ever.

As a fellow event professional in Las Vegas & California, it's always great to see a new crop of young & talented vendors make their way into the industry. With Taylor & TayCheney Events, she brings a certain energy that I believe connects more with the bride & grooms of today. She has a pulse on pop culture, event trends, and connects with couples & vendors alike in a way that "she just gets it." As someone to collaborate on events with, she was attentive to some our quirks as a DJ & MC, and always made sure to follow-up / check-in with us on timelines in case some deets may have slipped by (hey, DJs have weird schedules lol) We've worked in multiple cities, and alongside my roster of DJs, and Taylor just continues to crush it. TayCheney Events is an amazing planner and I can't wait to see (and be a part of) her future productions. Would recommend her to any couple / client ten times over!

We cannot recommend Sandra and her team enough! Hiring her was by far and away the best decision we made. Sandra orchestrated the most magical and epic wedding weekend, and we're still buzzing from the experience! Every detail of our reception (down to the disco mushrooms) and the entire day was better than we could have ever imagined. Sandra supported us through the whole process with amazing dedication and creativity. She made sure she understood our vision and brought all of our ideas to life. Her frequent check-in calls, emails, and the countless hours going over all our ideas and questions were invaluable. It was incredible to have her wealth of knowledge guiding us every step of the way. Sandra and her team were there not just for us, but for our wedding party, family, and friends all day long! We've been getting compliments from our guests about how incredibly fun and seamless the wedding was! We truly couldn't have done it without her!!! THANK YOU, Sandra, for making our colorful disco forest wedding a dream come true! Photos by Megan Goetz Photography

Sabrina and Chelsea were a pleasure to work with since our very first call! After our intro call where we described our dream wedding, they gave us a list of recommended venues that was an immense help in our venue search. This was before we signed with them which I thought was very kind for them to do! They were very positive, friendly and patient with our many questions. We ended up doing the wedding management and tabletop design package. We worked closely with Sabrina throughout the planning and she is amazing! Always calm and reassuring that we were on track with planning. The team is super organized and also gave us planning tools like a checklist and budget tracker. Communication was always easy and I asked for monthly calls which helped a lot. The design process was fun and Sabrina was able to create our design plan based on our Pinterest board, as well as recommend vendors that fit our aesthetic. She even helped make our table signage! The day of went perfectly as planned and was absolutely beautiful! We were able to just show up without a worry! Our bridal party was also able to just enjoy the day since Lucky Day was handling everything. Sabrina and her assistant checked in with us throughout the wedding day and helped with my dress, shoes, and even had to go on the beach with us for photos. They set up all our extra decor and neatly packed everything at the end of the night so we didn’t forget anything. We had last minute changes to our schedule the week of and Sabrina was able to manage all our requests. We had our dream wedding come true and would highly recommend Lucky Day!

Congratulations! You’re making the leap! If you’re here, it’s because you’re ready to tie the (k)not. So exciting -and nerve-wracking, too! If you’re going to pop the question, it has to go RIGHT. The only surprise should be the one that makes your future spouse scream YES! And a cookie-cutter proposal just won’t do. After all, no two love affairs are alike - and proposals shouldn’t be either. If you’re planning a wedding, you know it’s not the kind of event you should entrust to just anyone. You might have a vision and just don’t know where to start. Or maybe you’re so excited you can’t think straight. Either way, you’re in the right place.

Working with Soul Agave few exceeded all expectations I had for a wedding coordinator! While I already planned to someone for day of coordination, my mom was the one really pushing for one to ensure everything ran smoothly the day of. Dominique and her team went way above and beyond that! I met Dom at SoHo63’s open house and knew it was meant to be. Charming, humorous, smart and put together, I knew we would click! She set expectations with the package I selected (which was extremely reasonable and included more than competitors). She gave me a timeframe for when our appts would begin and what I could work on leading up to them. Her day of toolkit was a lifesaver!! She kept everything organized and had amazing recommendations for all my ideas. Nothing was left in the unknown so I never felt anxious. The day of went off without a hitch, on time, and our guests still continue to compliment us on how amazing our wedding was! It could not have been done without Soul Agave. They truly are the best!

Hiring Mosaico Celebrations for our wedding was definitely the best decision ever! I’m an over-thinker and an over-worrier but Nick’s team helped me tackle our wedding stress-free. Our coordinator, Andrea, is so amazing! She helped me every step of the way and has always been one text/phone call away anytime I had something in my mind about the wedding. She was so adaptable in all of the challenges we faced, including the sudden change of weather. On the day of, she was so helpful not just me but to all of the guests while still staying so calm and collected even though everyone’s approaching her and asking her all kinds of questions.

Embrace U is on a mission to bring more confidence, joy, and ease to couples as they plan their wedding, and more presence and peace of mind on their wedding day.

Second, to guide and support couples with monthly action lists and goal-setting strategies. And third, to tangibly help organize and track the seemingly endless elements that make up a wedding. For those getting married in SoCal, we offer full support at the wedding so couples can relax and enjoy their big day.

When I first reached out to the Embrace U team, I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend the funds on a day of coordinator. After a couple of conversations with Erin, I was convinced the Embrace U team was worth every penny. The team did not disappoint, my husband and I will be forever grateful. Erin's attention to detail and years of experience shined. She ensured she completely understood our vision and what was most important to us. Four weeks prior to our wedding date, Erin took over vendor communication and was our point of contact. This was such a stress relief. Erin also created a wedding day timeline, which is one of the reasons why we had such a successful wedding. All the vendors and our bridal party knew our plan and timeline the week before our wedding. I did make minor changes last minute but Erin helped communicate those to the vendors. Erin and her team were always near by but not in the way. Anytime I needed to ask or point out small things that came up, the Embrace U team was just a quick glance and nod away. At the end of our reception, Erin and her team ensured everything was neatly saved away and cleaned up. My husband, nor myself, nor my bridal party needed to worry about clean up. As a Bride, I fully enjoyed every moment of our wedding day. Looking back I didn't stress about any aspect of our day because I knew we had Erin and the Embrace U team. I am so glad we decided to hire the Embrace U team, they helped make our wedding vision a dream come true.

WIFE | MAMA | MEXICANA Mexicana de sangre y corazón. I am originally from Cd. Juarez, Mexico and from the moment we moved here I fell in love with New England, and Connecticut is now home! My husband and I are truly best friends, I enjoy every second that I spend by his side. If we work together, I'm sure you'll hear more about our story, but to keep you on your toes I'll share a few details. We eloped at eighteen years old, were married long distance, and designed, planned and executed our wedding day - or move in party, as we like to call it, since it was at the end of three years of long distance marriage!!

Without Fernie, we aren't sure our wedding would have happened! We hired Fernie as our Day of Coordinator, and met with her several times via zoom to go over details. She reviewed our materials and created a timeline for our day. She asked questions that made us think about details we might have overlooked. She did a site visit with us, ran our rehearsal, and was with us every step of the way on our day. Our wedding did not go as plan, and on the fly we were able to create a back up plan. Fernie contacted all of our vendors, and we all managed to arrive at the location around the same time. Over all, we were lucky to have her on our team!

I started in the wedding industry when I found bridal world in 2018. Building a career in bridal brought me back to Los Angeles from Seattle, back to family and into a world where I could immerse myself in all things bridal and weddings. I worked my way up as a stylist to the couture level, managing one of the flagship stores in LA and specializing in custom, one of a kind designs as a stylist. I learned more and more about weddings, and one day started day-of coordinating for friends and family. That grew to a passion and led to the birth of Serenity Weddings.

This was my first and hopefully not my last time working with Desiree, with over 2000 wedding performed here in the USA I wish all planners had the same work ethic as her. She was on top of everything throughout the event, always checking in to make sure not just the Bride & Groom where ok but all the vendors also. Her attention to detail went above and beyond. You will not be disappointed if you hire her for your next event.

With Kaity Campbell Events, you will have a truly luxurious customer experience from the moment you sign your contract all the way up to your event day, and even beyond. We believe that every wedding should be a reflection of your unique love story, and we are here to ensure that every detail is perfectly tailored to your desires. Our passion for creating unforgettable experiences, combined with our industry expertise, allows us to curate a seamless and stress-free wedding day that exceeds your expectations. Being able to create an event that is truly yours, and has all the elements you care about, is why I started doing what I do.

Kaity did a great job, especially considering all the uncertainty of bad weather (my ceremony was outdoors) we had to all deal with. She always had an upbeat and positive attitude the whole time, which I know can be very difficult to do around my family. She definitely would just roll with all the punches to keep us on track. I was anxious the entire day, but Kaity reassured me that she had everything under control and I knew I could trust her. She even went out of her way to get me and my husband little care packages on the day of, with inspiring notes. The only hiccups I actually noticed was with announcements and speeches, because the volume and echo was not great, so people didn't know when things were actually happening, so I wish we could've told the DJ sooner to fix the issue. We had also wanted to have our dinners boxed up, because my husband and I were both too anxious and excited to really eat, so our food ended up being thrown away, plus we didn't receive the top tier of our wedding cake to save for the tradition thing (but my guess is because they served it all to the guests). Unfortunately, at the end of the night, we were super rushed to get everything out of the building, because of the time and the pouring rain- I was running around barefoot in my dress while my husband was passed out in the car, and I was one of the few trying to get everything packed and cleaned up. However, Kaity and her husband really helped us out by collecting all the left items and holding onto them for us until the next day. She kept in contact, since at least a month beforehand, to make sure we had everything in order and sent her all the vendor contacts , so she could be included with all the day-of plans. She really did go above and beyond to make sure I had the best day possible, and I really appreciated that from her. I would definitely hire her again.
