Wonderful Experience
Erika O’Brien Events is the wedding planner everyone should have. Planning a wedding is not the easiest thing to do, especially when you do not have a coordinator. I thought we had an idea on what it takes to plan a wedding, but we did not! Erika’s expertise made it an enjoyable experience. She was very detailed throughout the process and kept on track to make timelines were met. About two weeks out, I had a vendor fall through and I immediately called Erika for help. She gave the best recommendation and made sure everything was finalized. Our wedding was perfect, and things ran so smoothly. We are truly grateful that we had Erika by our side throughout this whole process. She truly is amazing!

Stress gone!
We were stressing out the few months before our wedding, we felt like we weren't doing what needed to be done but didn't know what needed to be done. Erika came in and helped my wife throughout the process and eased so much of our worries! Our wedding day went even better than we could've hoped thanks to her help, everything was coordinated and we didn't have to worry about a thing on the day

Backyard Wedding
We could not be happier with our decision to book Erika as our wedding planner! Planning a backyard wedding, we knew that there were going to be a lot of moving parts and vendor coordination required. Erika was friendly and extremely helpful. She helped to keep us on track during the planning process and was key to the big day going smoothly! From all the work behind the scenes to supplying our full wedding party with a day of itinerary, we are grateful for all the work Erika put into making our day a success. We highly recommend Erika for your wedding planning needs!We could not be happier with our decision to book Erika as our wedding planner!

Clearwater Wedding Reception
We cannot imagine planning or having our wedding reception without Erika!! Planning a "destination" event was a daunting task since we weren't very familiar with the Clearwater area, but Erika made the process easy and enjoyable. Through in-person, virtual meetings, and emails, she kept our planning timeline on track. Her vendor recommendations were always on point! On the day of the reception, she made everything run smoothly. From decorating the venue within 2.5hrs to being one-step ahead with every aspect of the schedule to wrapping everything up at the end of the night, she didn't miss a single detail. Above all, she was a joy to work with - kind, even-keeled, and talented. We cannot recommend Erika enough!! (It was also really fun to work with Erika and Hunter together - they make a great team!)We cannot imagine planning or having our wedding reception without Erika!!

Exceptional Wedding Coordination by Erika O'Brian for a Truly Unique and Seamless Celebration
I recently had the pleasure of working with Erika O'Brian as my wedding coordinator, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for her outstanding service. Erika went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding was not only smooth but also an absolute success, even as we incorporated unconventional elements that made our celebration truly unique.
What set Erika apart was her ability to seamlessly handle the non-traditional aspects of our wedding. From fire breathers to aerialists pouring champagne, live dance and song performances from the bride and groom, arriving by boat, and many more outside-the-box ideas – Erika embraced each concept with enthusiasm and executed them flawlessly. Every idea I brought to Erika to help me execute was done without question or concern.
Our run of show was undoubtedly more complex than your typical wedding, and I can't emphasize enough how well Erika handled it all. Her creativity, flexibility, and attention to detail were crucial in bringing our unconventional vision to life. Erika's ability to navigate the intricacies of our unique celebration while maintaining the highest level of professionalism truly exceeded our expectations.
Working with Erika was a breeze, especially considering the various personalities involved in the planning process. With a lot of 'Type A' individuals in the mix, Erika's exceptional organizational skills and emotional intelligence shone through. She navigated the challenges seamlessly, demonstrating an innate ability to handle big personalities with grace and professionalism.
In summary, I would highly recommend Erika O'Brian to anyone seeking a wedding coordinator, especially for those looking to infuse creativity into their special day. Erika's exceptional organizational skills, adaptability, and unwavering commitment made our wedding not only memorable but also a true reflection of our personalities and vision.
Thank you, Erika, for your extraordinary service and for ensuring that our unique celebration was executed with precision and flair.
Highly recommended!

Best Decision We Could Have Made For Our Wedding
Without Erika, we wouldn't have been able to pull out our dream wedding, especially when our venue management, aka SoireEstate, is so awful.
She was very organized and very helpful whenever we had questions or concerns.
She won't miss any little details and will follow up with them.
She even took some great photos for our wedding and that was so sweet of her.
We would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a wedding coordinator.
She didn't just save our wedding, but made it perfect :)

Got Hitched Without a Hitch!
I thought I was organized and on top of things, but then I had Erika coordinate my wedding! I got married in New York City in June 2023 and opted to plan the big parts (venues, menu, specialty things my fiancé and I wanted like musicians and our getaway car), but I couldn't have pulled it off without Erika. She was there to remind me of the little things that often get overlooked like syncing up with vendors prior and during the wedding day, setting up the tables at the reception, and acting as emcee at said reception. She made sure no rock was unturned in terms of anything we may have wanted.
All in all, my wedding - which was a "destination" wedding for around 90% of guests and brings its own unique set of worries - was a smooth sailing success thanks to Erika's coordination and communication skills. She was ultra clear in emails and calls and was thoroughly wonderful to work with start to finish.
PS: Her husband, Hunter, took photos for our reception and did a beautiful job! He knew exactly how to pose us to capture those glowy, in-the-moment shots and shared in our excitement all throughout. I would totally recommend them as a package dynamic duo if you're also looking for a great photographer.I thought I was organized and on top of things, but then I had Erika coordinate my wedding!

Hire erika!
First off, absolutely worth it! I wanted a full time wedding planner, and I struck gold with Erika O’Brien! My husband Frank and I got engaged on Christmas Day 2022 and we were lucky to have found Erika just a few days later since we wanted to get started on planning our November 2023 wedding right away. There are so many reasons I could recommend Erika to plan your wedding, but here are my top five: #1: Erika was so flexible with our planning calls/meetings! My husband and I have such busy work schedules, so finding time to plan our wedding was sometimes challenging. Thankfully Erika was always down to chat after-work hours - which was SO helpful! #2: Erika made my classic meets modern wedding come to life! She has an amazing eye on making sure everything we picked was on theme from table setting to signage. She handled everything that I needed every time I needed. She even broke up with a vendor for me (huge source of anxiety). #3: Erika’s transparency was a breath of fresh air! She keeps it real and honest each time we had to make a decision towards wedding planning #4: Erika is great at working with all kinds of people with her exceptional organizational skills and emotional intelligence. All my family and friends loved how organized our whole wedding day was - from photos, to reception, to the party! Everything was planned down to the minute and Erika did it all with grace and a smile :) #5: Last but not least...what I appreciated the most about Erika was that she was ALWAYS 2 steps ahead of me - so no matter what random question I threw at her, she had an answer ready! If you are a bride that wants to stay on task, wants to be organized and doesn't know where to start? Erika is your fairy godsister. She will help you get your dream wedding, while being realistic about your budget. I still can’t believe that we were her first full time planning wedding clients and honestly 10/10 recommend going full time planning with her. HIRE ERIKA! She's reliable, fun, experienced, sweet and an all-around girl boss!!!First off, absolutely worth it! I wanted a full time wedding planner, and I struck gold with Erika O’Brien!

Erika is a phenomenal planner! She made sense of the madness and made me feel supported, is non-judgmental, and did an awesome job coordinating everyone! The resources she provided were so helpful and she was always available to answer any questions. I’m so so glad I reached out to her, worth every penny! All my vendors and family only had lovely things to say about to her as well :)

You must book with Erika!
As a type A person, choosing my vendors was a big deal (especially a wedding planner). Every detail matters to me. I needed to work with someone who valued the intention of details as much as I did. Not only that, I was looking for someone I could get along with, who understood my vision, and could execute it. Erika and her team absolutely exceeded my expectations. Every step of the planning process with Erika was easy and enjoyable. I always left our conversations understood and put at ease.
When it came to the wedding day, she went above and beyond to make sure every detail was catered to. I still get goosebumps thinking about when I saw the way Erika had put our receptions and ceremony space together for the first time. Wedding prep does not seem easy, there are so many details to take care of, but her and her team made it look effortless. Each moment we spent with her she came to us with professionalism, kindness, and a smile. She celebrated us so well till the very end, making sure we were able to enjoy every moment of the day without worry of the logistics.
I only wish I had another event to plan so I could work with her again. Thank you Erika, for making wedding planning so easy and fun. We so deeply appreciate you!As a type A person, choosing my vendors was a big deal (especially a wedding planner). Every detail matters to me.

Erika O’Brien Events is phenomenal!
Erika is the best! From the very first meeting to the last minute of the reception she was amazing.
Her website spells out very clearly what you can expect from her and she delivers everything she says she will. She accompanied us to menu tastings, gave us recommendations for vendors based on our budget and sat in on vendor interviews. She reviewed contracts and made suggestions. She scheduled check in meetings along the way to make sure everything was on track. She asked the questions we didn’t think to ask. She was always available to answer questions and always responded in a timely manner. Erika willingly took on any task or request we asked her to. She coordinated with all of our vendors and was able to troubleshoot successfully a few unexpected and last minute changes that had to be made. Her day of scheduling was literally down to the minute and was executed flawlessly. Erika was always there with a smile and a calm, friendly manner. She was such a huge part of an absolutely successful and beautiful wedding weekend! I’m so very glad we had her there every step of the way!

Erika is an amazing event coordinator and person! She cares so much about her clients, gives great advice and suggestions, and is so fast and thorough with communication. She is highly organized and has great connections in the Tampa Bay area. She was so calming, and made sure we stayed relaxed during the planning process and wedding weekend. Erika coordinated 4 separate events for our wedding that were all perfect. We could not recommend her more!!Erika is an amazing event coordinator and person!

Wedding Weekend
Wedding weekend May 4, 2023 - May 7, 2023
When my son and future daughter in law set their wedding date and location in St. Petersburg, FL, I knew immediately that we would need help in planning all of the fun parties I had been dreaming about for years. My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Erika O’Brien Events in a unique way. I am the Mother of the Groom and typically the only event planning for the groom’s family is the rehearsal dinner. However, we wanted to do so much more since many family and friends from both “sides” of the bride and groom would be traveling to Florida from throughout the country for this long awaited celebration.
After doing quite a bit of research and reading countless reviews of various “wedding planners”, I narrowed the list to four “possibles” and forwarded the names and information to the bride’s family and to our son and his future bride. We all agreed that Erika was the perfect fit for what we all wanted and needed.
This is where we did something a little unusual. Erika contracted and worked with the bride and groom and the bride’s family on the multitude of to-do’s for the wedding celebration (venue, catering, invitations, photographer, flowers, etc.). My husband and I then contracted with Erika separately to work with us on all of the pre and post wedding day events. Both contracts worked harmoniously but separately. This review addresses the assistance and planning by Erika O’Brien Events as it relates to that arrangement.
Saint Mary’s Catholic Church in St. Pete was reserved as soon as the wedding date was confirmed so we knew that box was quickly checked. We planned to have a rehearsal dinner for immediate family and the wedding party one evening (approximately 30 guests), a full invite of guests to a Welcome Party on the eve of the wedding (80-120 guests), and finishing off with a newlywed brunch (50-60 guests) for all guests who were able to join for one more celebration. The guest counts were tricky as invitations had not even been mailed, so we all sort of made “guesstimates” just for preliminary planning purposes. And, we needed Erika’s expertise as my husband and I live six plus hours away in northwestern Florida, the bride and groom live in Cincinnati, and the bride’s family live just outside of Tampa. Additionally, we preferred to have all the events either within walking distance of the selected hotels or within a very short drive.
Nearly ten months before the wedding, Erika swung into gear helping us find hotel options for guests and doing some preliminary site reviews for the rehearsal dinner, welcome party and newlywed brunch. Shortly thereafter my husband and I met with Erika over the course of several days, really getting to know her and attending all the appointments with her. She had the days planned so efficiently. Communication with all parties was exceptional. We never felt rushed or wondering which options we should pursue. Questions were asked and answered. Her insights were so helpful in our decision making. Before we left St. Pete on that first visit we had the block of rooms at two hotels, and the rehearsal dinner and the pre/post party locations confirmed. We were so pleased with the range of options we looked at and even more excited once we made our selections. Erika was instrumental in all of this! I never had a doubt that we had made the right decision to have Erika help us.
Over the course of the months, Erika and I were in constant communication. Every email and phone call was answered in hours if not minutes. Never did I feel as though I were “waiting” to hear back from Erika about one of my countless questions. I made two additional trips to St. Pete to meet with the hotel and venue coordinators. At every meeting, Erika was by my side, prepared and ready to go. She helped me select menus at the restaurant and select the appropriate foods and decor for the two other parties. We finalized everything with the coordinators and felt confident that each venue was the perfect setting for what our vision was for each event. No detail was left up in the air.
Several weeks before the wedding weekend, my husband unexpectedly asked if Erika could find a photographer to capture the moments at the Welcome Party. Finding an event photographer for a few hours at the last minute is not an easy ask. Erika once again came through with flying colors, giving us options (and pricing) and her suggestions. In the end we chose Erika’s husband who has experience with photo shoots at engagement and other party types. He was the perfect fit since we wanted candid, fun pictures of everyone having a good time! (I received a file with all the photos within three days of the party and they are great!) A big shout out and thank you to Hunter O’Brien!
Erika was with us at each of the three events from the set up to the take down. She even spent one of the mornings shortly after we arrived in St. Petersburg for the wedding to help with putting the welcome jute tote bags together and delivering them to the hotels. Many of our family and friends were anxious to meet my “Wonder Woman” as I had spoken of her numerous times. When they met Erika, they were so impressed with her, as I was every step of the “wedding journey”. Erika has such an easygoing manner; she’s a calming influence at a time when emotions can, and frequently do, run high. Her communication was always excellent and timely- with the coordinators and with me. I cannot recommend her more highly. If you are a mother of the groom (as I was) trying to figure out where you fit into all the wedding planning, or the bride and groom, or the parents of the bride, you will not be disappointed if you choose to work with Erika. I am so pleased that I had the opportunity to work with Erika and even more proud to say that I found a friend in her.

When my son and future daughter in law set their wedding date and location in St. Petersburg, FL, I knew immediately that we would need help in planning all of the fun parties I had been dreaming about for years. My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Erika O’Brien Events in a unique way. I am the Mother of the Groom and typically the only event planning for the groom’s family is the rehearsal dinner. However, we wanted to do so much more since many family and friends from both “sides” of the bride and groom would be traveling to Florida from throughout the country for this long awaited celebration.
After doing quite a bit of research and reading countless reviews of various “wedding planners”, I narrowed the list to four “possibles” and forwarded the names and information to the bride’s family and to our son and his future bride. We all agreed that Erika was the perfect fit for what we all wanted and needed.
This is where we did something a little unusual. Erika contracted and worked with the bride and groom and the bride’s family on the multitude of to-do’s for the wedding celebration (venue, catering, invitations, photographer, flowers, etc.). My husband and I then contracted with Erika separately to work with us on all of the pre and post wedding day events. Both contracts worked harmoniously but separately.

The BEST Planner there is!
Erika was everything we could have asked for and much, much more!
Wedding planning is obviously stressful and anything to help set your mind at ease is a must. Erika has such a calming presence and helps to reassure you that everything is going to work out just fine.
Erika helps A TON with vendor communication. There were so many things that Erika took care of that we couldn't have possibly remembered or figured out on our own.
Thank you Erika for making sure everything went exactly to plan. Greatest day of our lives, and a huge part of the success is attributed to Erika.Erika was everything we could have asked for and much, much more!

Amazing Coordinator!
Having Erika as our wedding coordinator was the best decision we could have made! She was professional, personable, and so knowledgeable. I was very on the fence for getting a coordinator as I am a very organized person, but I could not be more glad we did. The day was stress-free and exactly how I hoped it would be! We had regularly scheduled meetings to go through the necessities, and she was extremely responsive if I had any other questions outside of our meetings. Not to mention, she kept me on track for things I had forgotten, and was our go to person for the things we weren’t sure on. I had many DIYs and she was extremely helpful in getting everything where it needed to be, executing my vision perfectly. The day went so smoothly because she had everything under control! She worked seamlessly with our other vendors, and ensured everyone was in their place. We also had a very large wedding party whom she managed perfectly! We could not recommend Erika more!Having Erika as our wedding coordinator was the best decision we could have made! She was professional, personable, and so knowledgeable.

Best wedding ever!
Erika helped make this process the least stressful it could be! Even with us being in Kansas, she made our dreams possible, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. I didn’t once feel stressed on the day of my wedding. We had a lot of anxiety about the day of, but it actually was a breeze. It was almost so easy that we forgot the amount of planning that had gone into it. Erika was doing so much behind the scenes that we didn’t even notice what was happening. She’s always thinking ten steps ahead. Thank you Erika! :)Erika helped make this process the least stressful it could be!

Best Wedding Planner!!!
If you’re looking for exceptional help for your wedding from the kindest, most caring person, Erika is the wedding planner for you. Planning a wedding seemed like it was going to be extremely stressful, but Erika’s wedding planning expertise made it an enjoyable experience. She kept us on track throughout the planning process and smoothed out the nitty gritty details so we could focus on the fun stuff. The day of the wedding could not have been more perfect, and everything flowed smoothly thanks to her keeping everything in order. We had our wedding at a park and even the head landscaper commented that this was one of the most organized and beautiful weddings he had seen. Erika did everything we asked of her and more. We never imagined our wedding could have gone so perfectly and it was all thanks to her.If you’re looking for exceptional help for your wedding from the kindest, most caring person, Erika is the wedding planner for you.

The Best of the Best!
On a very shortened timeline, I had two months to plan my wedding which was a traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony followed by a dinner with about 70 guests.
As someone who is normally very hands on I realized that I’m going to need some help and guidance to pull this off with my sanity intact and I am so grateful to have had Erika with me throughout the process. It was the BEST wedding decision we made.
Erika is a delight to work with and I am incredibly lucky to have had her help. She always made me feel very calm (important!), was always quick to respond and ready to jump in to help at any time. Leading up to the wedding, my florals didn’t deliver in time and she went with me to the store to grab various flowers to arrange in the bud vases the night before the event! A total life saver.
The day of the wedding ran so smoothly and we could not have been more stress free on that day. She took the reigns on the design and setup of the dinner reception and made everything absolutely perfect. Erika’s commitment to excellence is unparalleled and I would recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding wedding planner. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!On a very shortened timeline, I had two months to plan my wedding which was a traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony followed by a dinner with about 70 guests.

Amazing month-of coordination!
I had a wonderful experience with Erika O'Brien as my wedding Coordinator. While she was our month-of coordinator, she helped us months out from the date to ensure we were on track and had everything squared away. All of the work she did behind the scenes did not go unnoticed, and we had such a beautiful and perfect wedding day. I appreciate all she did for us.I had a wonderful experience with Erika O'Brien as my wedding Coordinator.
