Erika Sandoval Event Planning & Design -

Choosing Erika to be our wedding planner was the best decision we made! From our first phone call, we knew we were in amazing hands. Her attention to detail and years of experience is evident and it made the whole process seamless, enjoyable and exciting. She created a “mood board” for us with visual examples of what we envisioned and she delivered on everything and more. Along with the mood board, we were given a whole website with different documents and ways to track things throughout the process. Erika is so organized that made us feel at ease and we trusted her every step of the way. She has great relationships with vendors and helped connect us to a professional team that made our vision come to life.

The day of our wedding couldn’t have been more perfect and we can’t thank Erika and her team enough for all that they did. We were lucky enough to still be able to do the ceremony outside in the small window of good weather - Erika was in constant contact with my mom about the weather and the plans so we didn’t have to worry about anything. Everything was absolutely beautiful and it was everything we ever dreamed of and more! We can’t recommend working with Erika enough. She was such an amazing support through everything and became a friend to us. We miss her already!

Erika is nothing short but amazing! My husband and I both agree we could not have done our wedding without Erika and her team. She made everything seem effortless and allowed us to actually enjoy our wedding without stress.

She helped find amazing vendors and was so kind throughout the process. She is highly communicative, organized and trustworthy. There was a small hiccup on our wedding day with a vendor who wrote down the wrong date, but Erika made sure we didn't have to worry about it and found a solution that was even better to begin with.

I would recommend Erika to anyone. Not only was she the best wedding planner, but became a friend throughout this process. We will miss working with Erika and can't wait to recommend her to our family/friends.

Hiring Erika as my wedding planner was the best decision I could have made for my wedding. Going into the whole process, I had no idea what to expect and knew basically nothing about weddings, so I knew I needed a good planner to assist along the way. Erika was not just good - she was AMAZING. She was extremely thorough, organized, and detail oriented throughout the entire process from start to finish. She even created an entire planning website for us to keep track of all the minor details relevant to our big day, which was incredibly helpful to us! Erika is a wonderful and kind person to work with, and I never hesitated to call her for advice and peace of mind when I would begin to have an irrational freak out about a small wedding detail!

Overall, Erika executed our vision perfectly and I am so glad we trusted her with our wedding! She also knew all the best vendors to recommend based on who would best fit our needs, from hair and makeup, to flowers, to cake, and everything in between! Everything turned out absolutely beautiful, and the assistance of Erika and her team on the day of made the entire day stress free and smooth for us. I cannot recommend ESE enough!!!

I absolutely LOVED working with Erika. As a wedding photographer, it's so important for me to have everything organized and flow perfectly so the clients can enjoy every second of their day, and Erika made that happen. She is so creative, on top of it, and is just a joy to be around. She went above and beyond for the bride and groom and the vendors she works with. I can't recommend her highly enough, and hope we get to work together again soon!

I hired Erika to plan my daughter’s wedding. If I plan another event, Erika will be my first call.

Erika is an uber organized, enthusiastic, responsive and creative person with a “can do” attitude. At all of our meetings, Erika takes notes AND FOLLOWS THROUGH! Erika returns calls and emails promptly. This may seem basic but in my experience it is not. Erika is on top of everything and I mean every detail. Even after planning one prior wedding, the number of decisions and choices that need to be made is daunting. Erika has an amazing ability to listen to your likes and dislikes and come up with vendors, design ideas, venues, etc that work. When your daughter/bride struck down all the choices, Erika joyfully presented more—until we were happy. The day before my event I walked into this enormous and cavernous and empty tent. I was a bit panicked-looking at the actual space, I had no clue what size & how many flower arrangements, lighting pieces, tables, table scaping, furniture collections, draping, bars, etc etc. we would need. There are a million things you need to provide for—and they all need to work together. 24 hours later, the tent space was transformed into the most beautiful spot and every detail was accounted for.

Another thing, Erika’s “day of” team is terrific. They took care of every aspect of the couple & wedding party getting ready, coordinating photographers & videographers, guest herding, etc. They had a smile on their faces and a calm in their demeanor. Exactly what you need on a hectic day.

Thank you Erika for an amazing day and such wonderful memories.

I cannot say enough good things about Erika as a professional and as a person. I am deeply grateful to her for making my daughter and her (now) husband’s dream of a magical wedding come true. She was organized, knowledgable, and detail oriented — always positive, upbeat and pleasant. Erika coordinated the vendors and venue seamlessly and guided the couple through the process with confidence and assurance that no detail would be overlooked.

On the day of the wedding, the weather presented a challenge, but Erika and her team handled everything flawlessly. We never felt stressed as she maintained an aura of calm. Her team couldn’t have been more helpful in the hours leading to the event.

Once the weather cleared, we had no further worries. The night was truly magical, and we were able to enjoy the reception as carefree as we would have as guests. I am beyond thankful to Erika and her team for helping create the perfect wedding for us.

e are so grateful to have found Erika. She went above and beyond and helped us with everything! I loved that she is bilingual in both Spanish and English so she was able to communicate perfectly with my family as most of them speak Spanish. It meant so much to us that she was able to communicate and direct our family throughout the wedding. I was also looking for an officiant for over two months without any luck but she was able to find one perfect for us within a day. During the wedding she was very detailed making sure everything was perfect for us including the timeline for the day. We are very grateful for her and we recommend her 100%! I don't think I could have found someone better than her!

Thinking about writing this I don't even know where to begin. Erika is the most wonderful planner/coordinator/problem solver/listener/cheerleader I could have ever hoped to work with for our wedding. She genuinely cares for her clients, she takes the time to get to know them (like really know them), she becomes more like a friend than anything. Everyone she recommended we work with were above and beyond top notch, and they have nothing but amazing things to say about her too. And I mean every single vendor said "oh we love Erika" or "Oh you're Erikas bride? We love working with her" and I think that really just speaks to how pleasant it is to be apart of what she creates. Our reception was outside in a tent, that partially collapsed due to high winds the day before. The entire layout and decor had to change because the tent couldnt hold the hanging flower structures we had. I was so devastated at first, but Erika reassured me everything would still be beautiful and it would all be ok. When I tell you we walked into our tent STUNNED at what she was able to pull off in mere hours, I mean I was moved to tears (as pictured). It was so perfect and everything I would have wanted as if I had been there myself to set up and then some. Not to mention that our guests are still talking about how amazing our day was over a month later (what more could you want than that?). The only negative part of the entire experience is that I miss her and all the fun I had planning. Hire Erika, I can promise you shes one in a million and you wont find someone as dedicated to your vision and happiness as she will be.
