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
WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN!!!! From literally the first second I spoke with Erika, to the last moments of my wedding, she was the most caring, helpful, personable, and calming person I could have asked for. It was literally as though she cared about my wedding just as much as I did. She quite literally took the vision I had of my day, and brought that vision to life more than I could have ever imagined. She will be your right hand woman, hype woman, and anything you need her to be. She handled all communications with vendors and pointed them in every single direction throughout the entire process, taking it off my plate. She took all my crazy ideas (timing the exact amount of seconds each bridal party couple got to walk down the aisle so I could walk out at a very specific time, hanging every luggage tag I had made for every guest in alphabetical order, picking up last min things I forgot, and everything in between...), and brought them all to life with a smile on her face! I had several vendors reach out to me and tell me she's the most organized and fun planner they have ever worked with, and I can see why! If you're thinking of hiring Erika, DO IT. I did not have a stress in the world the entire day because I knew every single detail I had planned was going to go perfectly because of her, and it actually did. There was not ONE single thing during my day that went wrong and I got everything I envisioned and it's truly because of her. HIRE THE PLANNER!!!!!!!! ALSO - we had Erika's husband, Hunter, as our photographer and LET ME TELL YOU that if you're thinking about hiring the two of them together, DO IT!!! They coordinated our timeline and worked SO WELL together - we had guests tell us all night how much fun our photographer was and how amazing our planner did. We LOVE you Erika, and are so thankful for everything you did for us!!! You might say... we were Enchanted to meet you!!!

My daughter and her husband just had the most beautiful outdoor wedding at King William Park, followed by an intimate reception at Rosarios in downtown San Antonio. The entire event was seamless, thanks to the help of our wedding coordinator, Jessica O’Connor. Jessica’s organization and planning skills are off the charts! She orchestrated their dream wedding with just a couple of meetings and emails with the bride and groom, minimal communication with me, and behind-the-scenes communication with the vendors. Jessica and her assistant were present the day of the wedding and took great care to ensure everything went smoothly. I’m so grateful to her for allowing me to relax and enjoy their wedding.

Natalie and Hector were truly a dream come true! Natalie helped the day run so smoothly and everything was so perfect and well organized. She was very communicative and on point leading up to the day. She set up and organized everything exactly as I requested. Natalie and Hector were so sweet and accommodating. The content creation package was great and exactly what my husband and I wanted. Since we didn't want a videographer, the content creation was perfect for us- To capture the day and have small clips for memories without the expensive cost. The photo booth was so cute and our guests loved it. Very nice camera with video, boomerang, and photo options for the guests to select with a nice backdrop setup. Overall they were a dream team and also so affordable! Would highly recommend for all brides! Thank you Natalie and Hector for everything! 33

Hi, I’m Allie, founder of CBA and I’m supported by an incredible planning team. Originally from the Finger Lakes region of New York, we split our time between Upstate New York and Central, North, and South Florida, with no travel fee between our home regions. With over a decase of combined experience, our team loves helping couples create weddings that truly reflect their love stories. Whether your vision is elegant, modern, or completely one of a kind, we make the planning process feel seamless and stress free, delivering an unforgettable day through creativity, attention to detail, and a calm, supportive presence from start to finish.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Allie as our wedding coordinator was one of the best decisions we made for our big day! As a queer, interracial couple with a super diverse group of friends and family, we were nervous about finding someone who would respect and celebrate us, but Allie was exactly what we needed and more. From start to finish, she made sure we felt supported, seen, and, most importantly, stress-free. Allie stepped in two weeks before the wedding and immediately took over all the vendor communication, making sure everything was handled so we could just enjoy the process. She didn’t just manage logistics—she managed everything: family drama (ugh, lifesaver), unexpected changes due to Hurricane Milton, and even the fact that most of our bridal party couldn’t make it. Somehow, she filled in the gaps so seamlessly that we barely noticed anything was missing. What stood out the most was how personal she made the experience. She took the time to learn everyone’s names, stayed calm and chill no matter what, and listened to us when we were stressed, always reminding us to focus on each other. Allie kept the day running at our pace, gave us time to be together, and even made sure we looked great in all our photos. She coordinated everything down to the details we cared about most, like our private last dance and getting all the shots we wanted. She was laid-back yet professional, blending in perfectly with the vibe of our wedding while carrying out our vision flawlessly. Despite the hurricane and a 2-hour drive to get to us, Allie didn’t skip a beat, reworking things as needed and keeping everything on track. We genuinely had the most amazing day, and that was thanks to her. If you want a coordinator who will go above and beyond to make you feel at ease, ensure everything runs smoothly, and let you actually enjoy your wedding day, Allie is 100% the one. So, so worth the investment!!! Thank you, Allie, for giving us a day we’ll cherish forever!

Our wedding was great and Bold & Belle was our planning company. We had a little over 200 guests and held our wedding at our families farm. They brought in all the tables and chairs and fully set up everything for the ceremony and reception so we did not take have to do much with that. We had most our vendors picked out but Alex and Ariel helped with additional vendor bookings. We had 4 team members the day of covering the wedding since there were areas we requested additional assistance with. Everyone was so nice and easy going to communicate with.

Hi, I’m Jordyn Elyse, founder of Elyse & Co. Events. If you choose me as your planner, I dedicate everything to making sure you have the wedding of your dreams. I started young as my family’s go-to planner, handling every detail because they knew I could get it done. That’s when I realized I have a real passion for creating beautiful, stress-free celebrations that bring joy to couples and their loved ones. Helping others celebrate life’s most special moments is truly what drives me every day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Jordyn for our wedding day was the single best thing that made the most impact on how smoothly the day went. For a day-of coordinator, she went above and beyond making sure she understood every single detail of our wedding, not just the timeline or the vendors. She is incredibly detailed, always knowing what questions to ask, and did an amazing job of helping us navigate some difficult situations with other vendors and did it with poise, professionalism, and a great attitude, all while giving us the reassurance we needed to continue on with the planning process. She truly made us feel like we were in great hands while we were stressed to oblivion. If I could give her 50 stars instead of 5, I would. On top of that, she truly enjoys her work. I can't express how far she went above and beyond to make our special day go off without a hitch. She was always there when we needed her, and was one of the only vendors who really remembered that this is the biggest day of our lives! She treated us and our families and our guests with care and as if it were her own wedding. As the title says, do yourself a favor and hire her!!

My sister made up a tag line for my wedding day “Let go and Let Jenn”. This was because I didn’t need to stress about anything, because Jennifer Dorash with Janova Events and her team had everything handled. Jenn brought a sense of calm and kindness, offered expert and efficient ideas; was reliable and an overall rockstar. Whether you are planning two years or two months in advance, I highly recommend you call Janova Events. As an event planner myself, I had high standards and strong opinions and my husband and I unequivocally say that hiring Janova was the best decision we made during our wedding planning! On the day of our wedding Jenn and her team masterfully managed set-up for our DIY wedding, coordinated all our vendors, brought our entire vision to life (and then some) and THEN packed all of the decor up, organized it and made our day just perfect.

Let’s get to know each other! 👋🏼 Hi, I’m Brittany — and I’m so excited you’re here! First of all, thank you for considering me to be a part of your special day. With over 10 years of experience in wedding planning and design, I’ve had the absolute joy of helping couples bring their dream weddings to life. When I’m not coordinating timelines or fluffing veils, you’ll find me soaking up the sun ☀️, sipping on coffee ☕, or spending time with my crew — my husband of 7 years, our two amazing kids and our two pups, Bear and Boone.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brittany was an awesome day-of coordinator! If we had to go back and do it again, Brittany would be one of the first people we would call. She brought a much needed calm, conscientious, and confident presence to give us the perfect day. She was around every step of the way to understand the big-picture and minute-by-minute logistics. She helped us create our timeline, wrangle and align all the vendors, and stayed in close contact with everybody to keep the event going the exact way we imagined. When small issues would emerge, she handled them with ease and speed. When we ran behind schedule, she was reassuring and did a great job helping us prioritize what we needed to do. She was also incredibly hospitable and thoughtful – she even brought us a plate of appetizers since we were doing photos during our cocktail hour! The last thing I wanted to say is that Brittany was actually our SECOND day-of coordinator, because we had to fire our first one. Maybe that means we have high standards? I don’t know. But, if we do, Brittany certainly exceeded them. She gave us tremendous confidence in her and her ability to carry out our event throughout the entire process. -Zak and Hannah

I've been lucky to have worked with Cook Event Planning on multiple weddings. As a Pastry Chef, creating the brides dream cake is always top priority. Iman is the icing on the cake. She is very easy to talk to/work with. Since she has a background in hospitality she understands the needs of the vendors as well as her brides. She makes sure that before the big day even arrives, that everything is taken care of and runs smoothly. She goes out of her way to make sure that as a vendor all communication between all parties is clear. The venue has everything they need from me ahead of time and they're ready when I arrive with the cake/desserts. She jumps in and helps with any setup if you need her to. She's always friendly and has the answers, and if she doesn't, you better believe she will find out within minutes! There's honestly not enough great things that I can say about Cook Event Planning!! Such a professional and organized business to work with. I look forward to partnering again in the future and using them for personal events as well. 10/10 I highly recommend!!

Hiring Nathalie was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the moment we met, she was incredibly attentive, organized, and supportive. She went above and beyond to help me with every single detail, ensuring that everything went smoothly. On the big day, Nathalie was absolutely incredible. She managed all the vendors, handled every unexpected challenge behind the scenes, and made sure I could enjoy the day without any worries. She even created beautiful content from the day, which has been a precious gift since we’re still waiting for our professional photos and video. I look at what she captured with so much gratitude! One of my favorite moments was during our rehearsal—my goofy husband was in full form, and Nathalie handled it with such grace and good humor. She didn’t just keep things on track; she leaned into the fun, making it all so light! Nathalie embodies everything you’d want in a wedding planner: reliability, firmness with vendors and organization. I’ll never forget her. If you’re lucky enough to have her on your team, you’ll be in the best hands.

At Avenue Design Studio, we began as a floral business, but quickly realized we could offer so much more to our clients. Over our 10+ years of working with couples on those special lifetime moments, we found ourselves stepping in to assist our brides and event clients with planning, vendor coordination, and overall event management. This inspired us to shift our focus and create Avenue Design Studio, a full-service event planning and design company.

Avenue Design Studio - Wedding Planning was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their communication was always clear and responsive, which made the planning process so much smoother. When it came to the quality of their work, they truly exceeded our expectations. Our wedding coordinators and florist from Avenue Designs were incredible - they transformed the venue into a stunning, elegant space that was more beautiful than I could have imagined. My daughter showed the team what she envisioned, and Benjamin and Chad went above and beyond to bring her dreams to life. Everything about her wedding day was perfect and truly magical, thanks to the hard work and expertise of the Avenue Designs team.

We are a boutique wedding planning company based in North Carolina and serving The East Coast and The Bahamas. At The White Rose Co. we pride ourselves on getting to know our couples and we believe that those relationships are integral to building a wedding that is truly reflective of our clients personalities. Our approach is refined, intentional, and deeply personal. We quietly orchestrate every detail behind the scenes, allowing you to be fully present and enjoy your celebration as it naturally unfolds.

I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Amy Haywood and White Rose Co. on several events over the past couple years, and every wedding we’ve worked together has been executed at an exceptionally high level. Amy is the perfect combination of professionalism and personality. She is incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and dedicated to ensuring every aspect of the event reflects her clients’ vision. At the same time, she is genuinely fun to work with, which creates a positive atmosphere for both clients and vendors alike. One of the things that stands out most about Amy is her ability to coordinate seamlessly with all vendors while keeping the client’s wishes at the center of everything she does. Her communication, leadership, and attention to detail make event days run smoothly and efficiently, even when managing complex timelines and logistics. It’s also clear that I’m not the only one who enjoys working with her. Watching her interact with other vendors, wedding guests, and clients, it’s easy to see the respect and appreciation she has earned from everyone around her. I sincerely hope we continue to build our business relationship and work together on many more events in the years ahead. Amy consistently delivers excellence, and I would highly recommend her and White Rose Co. to anyone looking for a wedding planner who combines professionalism, expertise, and a wonderful personality. - DJ Mikey of Mixology DJ Entertainment

Working with A Pinto Affair Weddings was a game-changer for us from day one. Our planner communicated with us in such a clear, direct way that planning actually felt fun instead of stressful. She thought of details we never would have—like having my purse waiting at my seat during the reception—which showed how much she cared about making our day special. Her approach was thorough and caring, and she made us feel looked after the whole time. She took all the pressure off our shoulders and let us just enjoy getting married. We can't imagine planning our wedding without her, and we'd absolutely recommend A Pinto Affair Weddings to any couple.

Rae of Fun Events was amazing to work with for our wedding! From the start, her communication was fast and efficient - she was always quick to respond to my questions and ideas.
