Coordination

"We had the great fortune of working with Erica as our day-of wedding coordinator, and we cannot stress enough how invaluable she was to making our wedding exactly what we wanted, and just SO stress-free. She is a committed, conscientious, thoughtful, and exceedingly capable wedding planner. She took the time to get to know us from the very beginning, and she worked tirelessly to ensure that the day we envisioned came to be, down to every detail." -Brooke O. | Rising Fern Bride
