About Northwoods Event Services

Northwoods Event Services

Founder, Lead Coordinator

I’m Erika, the founder of Northwoods Event Services, where intentional planning meets authentic connection. I offer coordination and planning support for couples who want to enjoy their wedding day without the stress. Whether you're planning locally or hosting a destination wedding, I bring organization, creativity, and heart to every detail. My approach is warm, calm, and personal — because planning your best day ever should actually feel that way.

What sets me apart is the way I genuinely connect with each couple I work with. I take the time to truly understand your story, your personalities, and your vision for the day, so your wedding feels intentional and uniquely yours. I’m not just here to manage timelines — I’m here to support you, advocate for your needs, and make sure you feel calm, confident, and cared for every step of the way.

In three words: Fun, Organized, Supportive

    Event Coordinator

    Northwoods Event Services was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the start, their communication was clear, adaptable and respectful, which put us at ease throughout the entire planning process. Erika was wonderful - she is incredibly detail-oriented and made sure that all aspects were met, seamlessly following our wishes with open communication and being adaptable every step of the way. The quality of their work and the value they provided was unmatched, and we cannot recommend Northwoods Event Services highly enough.
