Spectacular Events by Erin

Words cannot begin to explain how pleased we are with our experience with Erin. Our wedding was a little bit over a month ago in NYC. For two NY professionals without much time to think about the small details that go into a wedding, my husband and I were pretty overwhelmed with tackling every piece that goes into wedding day logistics. I can say that I was nervous as a first-time-bride that I would be drowning in logistics and all the small details on the day of the wedding. Erin seamlessly helped us navigate the wedding process and keep us on track. I can gladly say that thanks to Erin, I did not do anything but enjoy, let go and dance away on my big day.

A huge thing that I came to appreciate on the day-of was that Erin stays with the bride and groom throughout the reception. She makes sure everything is on time and communicates with the couple how everything is coming long. She is insanely prepared – to the point she saw me touching my bun while dancing on the dance floor and next thing you know, she’s helping me secure my bun with bobby pins! Talk about anticipating needs…

Another thing I really loved was the ownership Erin took for making sure the timeline was tailored to our needs with other vendors and wedding participants, and that the timeline was adhered to the day off.. Specifically, we wanted minimal formality and dancing ASAP. Erin internalized this and made it happen! She worked with the entire crew and each vendor and we were on time the whole night. While the groom and I were taking couple portraits during the cocktail hour, Erin came with us and brought us champagne and would let us know where we were in the evening. It was like having our own personal guide through our wedding. All I have received is great feedback about how much fun our wedding was and we have much of that to owe to Erin!

Erin is wonderful to work with. She executes, is very solution-oriented, is responsive, performs under pressure and is just generally great to be around. These qualities make her very effective at working with multiple personalities on an emotionally charged day like a wedding. She was extremely composed while executing on deliverables, but most importantly, she instilled confidence in the bride and groom and made sure we felt at ease so that we could cut back and relax. And indeed we did! We cannot stress enough that we recommend Erin’s services without hesitation and think you will make your wedding journey much easier by giving her a call already  More...

Jessica was EVERYTHING we wanted and needed on our wedding day and leading up to it. Her personality/approach were perfect- she was enthusiastic, invested, and eager, but also kept me calm, and felt like my rock all day. I felt like she “got me” more than any vendor we worked with. When you get the forecast you never imagined having for your wedding day, or other wedding vendors are stressing you out, you will be SO HAPPY you have Jessica by your side. There were also a million little things that she solved/saved before they even became an issue that I didn’t even know about (my bridesmaids nonchalantly told me in the weeks afterward and I loved Jessica even more for it!)

We aligned on the timeline in advance and she joined us for a venue walk-through, which was great. They involve themselves in advance just the right amount to take over when you will need to step back, and to be in full control on the wedding day. On the day of, she really knew where to be and when, and without having done a wedding at our venue The Roundhouse before! I’m super Type A, had a 40-tab Wedding google sheet, etc, and had the fear that no one could be as thorough as I’d want them to be on this monumental day, but Erin and Jessica gave me the confidence that I could plan my heart out leading up to the wedding and then relinquish control on the wedding day so that I could really enjoy it without worrying. And that I did. It almost makes me tear up thinking of how happy I am that we had her, so we could just be present and embrace the amazingness of the day- THANK YOU Jessica!

Additionally, their pricing is really amazing and they are so fair, clear, and organized. Jessica worked so hard for us, and was so professional and amazing, and we really appreciate it. Book Jessica asap, you will be SO glad you did. More...

Jessica did an amazing job on our wedding day. She intuitively knew what we wanted and needed, gave very helpful tips and suggestions along the way, and worked behind the scenes to make sure our vendors were on the same page. It was so nice to relinquish control to Jessica to handle the coordination so we could enjoy our time with family and friends. Plus, the pricing was the most reasonable we came across in our search. Thank you, Jessica and Erin! More...

We hired Erin as our Day of Coordinator for our wedding on 8/18/18. Erin went above and beyond my expectations for what a day of coordinator would do. We had regular contact months out before the wedding and she promptly answered any question I had. Our wedding weekend was filled with obstacles (specifically torrential rain the night before and day of the ceremony for an outdoor farm wedding!!), and Erin did an amazing job keeping me calm, making changes on the fly, and making sure everybody was where they needed to be and doing what they needed to be doing. It was really a breath of fresh air having Erin by my side. She not only managed every obstacle we faced with ease, but she even brought me food after the wedding when I forgot to eat at the reception! Not only is Erin dependable and professional, but she is also fun, engaging, and overall blast to hang out with! She is absolutely amazing and will truly make your event spectacular! More...

Erin is a saint, an angel, a wedding good luck fairy. I honestly didn’t realize how much I needed her there until she was - because of her I did not worry. Because of her I could soak it all in and remain present. Because of her, I could relax.

Thank you will never be enough.

There are so many things that one can forgo on their wedding day - don’t skip over having a point person.

Erin will execute the dreams that you’ve been planning for months become a reality - and help you, your fiancé, your bridal party, your loved ones feel at ease.

It’s impossible to be stressed or nervous when Erin’s working a wedding, for she handles it all! More...

Erin is seriously the most amazing human ever. My mind was completely at ease knowing I had Erin by my side. She goes ABOVE and BEYOND her duties and irons out any wrinkle before you even realize it’s happening. Her attention to detail is unreal.

Words can’t describe how wonderful Erin is!! I can’t imagine having had my wedding without her at the helm! She created a detailed timeline and made sure everything ran on a perfect schedule. She coordinated with all of my vendors so I had no stress leading up to the main event. She wrangled our rowdy wedding party with absolute ease.

Erin was amazing. Before our first phone conversation, Erin had looked up our wedding website so she was already in the know about our venue, wedding party, etc. She was a joy to work with. Everything seemed easy and effortless. She covered a potential disaster with our caterer so well that no one knew there was a problem. All our vendors, wedding party & family spoke very highly of her as well. Hire Erin. You won't regret it! More...

I cannot say enough amazing things about Jessica and Erin. Not only are they the ultimate professionals, they are also incredibly fun and a joy to be around. Everyone - from our vendors, to our parents, to our guests commented how kind and pleasant they were. Our wedding went flawlessly - all thanks to Spectacular Events By Erin. I was definitely the bride asking myself "why do I need a wedding coordinator?", especially when we planned to have a casual and small wedding. Trust me - you need one, and Jessica and Erin are your gals! More...

We are so happy and thankful that Erin could support us through our wedding day. Your wedding day will be perfect and any bumps along the way Erin will masterfully smooth out without you even knowing! Even ahead of the day she will help structure and facilitate as needed to help you feel prepared for a good time. My husband and I can sometimes not be as proactive for planning but Erin helped provide that extra nudge to continue arranging all the wedding things.

Erin really is a joy. She's fun, responsive, organized, and just there for you. Even past the wedding day a lot of our family/friends come tell us that this was the best wedding they've ever been to. I'm sure that you could have the same awesome wedding or better, but for us there's no way it could have been such a success without Erin. More...

My husband and I chose a venue that was just a raw space. We had to secure everything from the caterer, cake, flowers, decor as well as the usual wedding accompaniments (save the dates, engagement shoot, invitation, favors, clothing, hotels, officiant, etc. )
Early on in the process, I spoke with Erin on the phone to see if we could benefit from a coordinator. Two months before our wedding date, our caterer (who was previously approved by the venue) fell ill and had to cancel. In a panic, I called Erin. Sure enough - her calm cheery and reassuring disposition really helped settle my nerves. We booked Erin to help us with the wedding and it was the BEST money we spent on the entire day!
Erin is the most efficient, professional, friendly, and capable vendor we met with! She handled last minute snafu's (believe me - you will have them). Our guests were even complimenting Erin to us for weeks after the wedding! She really handled everything - coordinating with an EXTREMELY difficult venue, as well as ALL of our individual vendors was no small task. My cab rear ended another car on our way to central park to take photos and Erin handled it like a champ!
Erin truly made our day PERFECT. If you'd like to actually enjoy your event - hire Erin. She's actually worth MORE than what she charges. She was an amazing coordinator, and she will be a future friend! :) More...

Erin and her associate, Jessica, are a fantastic team! They went above and beyond my expectations and handled all hiccups with tact and ease. Erin, my fiancee, and I met several times prior to the wedding. Erin is so organized and helped me keep my day-of timeline structured, but also built in enough time so that we didn't feel super rushed. She communicated with all my vendors and coordinated with them to make sure that all of my needs were met. Because Erin was unable to attend my rehearsal dinner, her associate, Jessica, took over. Jessica is a dream to work with! She was very easy to work with and made sure that everyone was where they needed to be at all the specific times. We only needed to go through the ceremony twice before heading to our dinner site because she ran it so smoothly! There were a couple of mishaps the day of the wedding, which were my fault, and involved me forgetting to include a few people who had RSVP'd on our seating chart. Erin was able to to quickly and efficiently fix the situation without making anyone feel like they had been forgotten, and without the guests causing a scene. My parents were so happy to have both Jessica and Erin streamlining the wedding, so that they could actually take everything in and just enjoy the day without having any extra responsibilities. It was awesome! I recommend Erin and Jessica to anyone looking to have a fantastic day without having to worry about anything. More...

We were so grateful to have been recommended to Spectacular Events by Erin because we were able to experience our daughter’s wedding day with a calm confidence and without getting overly nervous. So, while our vendors were paying attention to the many things we paid them to do, Erin was paying attention to supporting us!

It’s hard to account for how you’re going feel when the big day arrives. You know all the moving parts are underway, but then you’re taken off guard at the first sight of your daughter in her wedding dress, or you get a bit overcome by the many well wishers greeting you throughout the day.

In all of this it would have been hard for us to …pick up a bridesmaid that was stranded without a car. Or, diplomatically manage two dueling priests at the wedding rehearsal. Or, find a ride for the late guests who missed the hotel shuttle.
Or replace the mp3 that wouldn’t load onto the DJ’s sound system so the bride’s brother could sing his song.

These last minute glitches were handled smoothly by the quick thinking, fast-moving and fun-loving, Erin, who simply pointed to her big smile saying, “Does this face looked stressed?” And off she went to save the day.

My husband asked me to add his comment to my review. He admits that he was the first one to be skeptical about taking on an additional service. Today, he wholeheartedly attributes our decision to hire Erin as the reason we were truly able to relax and enjoy our daughter’s wedding day with ease and dignity.

Every event needs an Erin!

Gratefully & with high recommendation,

Erin was AMAZING throughout the entire process. I can't even begin to explain how much of a relief it was for us when we decided to go with Erin. From our first phone call to the day of the wedding, she was exceptional. She is extremely organized and was so easy and accommodating when we were both a nervous wreck. She made sure that all of our vendors were in check and the entire event was perfect. We had our wedding at the green building in Brooklyn and it was a DIY. Erin was great wrangling our vendors and assisting with last minute details/changes. She kept us all in line with our timeline and it made us feel so much better knowing that Erin was coordinating our event. I would recommend Erin to everyone, she is perfect and is amazing at what she does! More...

Erin was amazing! We originally only hired her to help coordinate the reception and make sure things ran smoothly, but we ended up using her for almost the entire day and she was just a gem! She bent over backwards to make sure that our day went according to plan, and she really got along with all my family and friends. She had a smile on the entire time and made sure we (bride & groom) didn't have to do anything but enjoy our night. She responded to e-mails and call quickly, and always kept me stress free. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone! xo More...

Erin is who you want to hire to make sure you can actually enjoy your wedding day. After our wedding, so many friends and family members told us how amazing Erin is. She was with us for our wedding day and attended the church rehearsal the night before so she could help ensure all details were covered and that we would keep on schedule that she helped us craft. She was the go to person during our day and helped ensure we didn't see any of the typical hiccups or vendor conversations.

I found Erin through online research and everything you read is true - she is such a joyful and comforting person. You will be so happy to have her by your side. From our first conversation, to managing vendor communications on final details the week before, to offering to help with my dress bustle - I knew every step of the way we had selected the right person.

Erin is the BEST!!! We hired her as the weekend coordinator for our highly-unique and ambitious theater wedding, and she far exceeded both our expectations and her job description. She began working with us months before the event; suggesting vendors, visiting the venue, and offering guidance and feedback right away. We were so impressed with her prompt responses to emails and phone calls; and her knowledge, experience, and calming presence were essential for turning a nerve-wracking and emotional process into a fun and organized adventure. It was a huge relief to be able to turn the reins over to Erin on the wedding weekend! One of the things we loved most about her was that she worked hard to understand and execute our vision, rather than trying to fit our event into some kind of typical template. She was flexible and attentive to detail, but also not afraid to save us from ourselves when necessary; a rare combination of firm, without being pushy. It was exactly what we needed! Erin was the true MVP of our wedding weekend, going above and beyond. From organizing escort cards, to helping the bride avert a panic attack on the afternoon of the rehearsal dinner, to springing into action the morning of the wedding when rain changed our transportation plans, and even rushing to print our vows when we made last minute changes, she was always there to save the day. On top of all that, her generosity, good humor, and infectious laugh kept everyone at ease and smiling. We gave her a "mission impossible" task of a wedding, with many moving parts; a full multi-media production, including films and a stage show... the works. Erin aced it all, doing the jobs of 3 people, and everybody involved -- vendors, venue, families, and the wedding party -- absolutely loved her. We can't possibly praise her enough and feel so lucky to have worked with her. She is flat-out fantastic; a MUST for your wedding! More...

I feel so lucky that we hired Erin as the coordinator for our wedding! She was a LIFESAVER at many key moments throughout our wedding weekend. During wedding planning there came a point when I realized that we really needed help for things to run smoothly during our day and thankfully I met and hired Erin to help us out. On meeting her, I was struck by her warm, upbeat personality. She's a joy to work with and she immediately put me at ease. Our wedding was in Montauk and like other reviewers have mentioned, she coordinated a walk through at our venue two weeks before the big day which was great to get a lay of the land and figure out logistics. The weekend of the wedding she ran our rehearsal the day before and even saved the day when we got locked out of our rental house! Long story, but essentially she took care of it while we enjoyed our rehearsal dinner. The day of our wedding we got a bit stressed because there was rain and we had planned to have our ceremony outside. This was no problem for Erin who kept a super positive attitude about the weather all day -- so helpful to me! She then walked us through our options with the venue, and helped us decide, in real time what decision to make. Ultimately we had the ceremony indoors and our guests all said they never would have known we had planned to do something else! I would 100% recommend Erin to any other NY area brides out there! She's a gem. More...

Erin is AMAZING! I am a type-a control freak and had a very specific idea of what I wanted my wedding to be like and I thought I could do it all myself. This stubbornness made giving up control so difficult but from the first phone conversation I could tell Erin could handle anything and everything. Not only was she extremely patient and understanding but damn she is organized! Our venue was in Kingston, NY and not only did she travel up from NYC for the weekend of the wedding but she even did a walk through of the venue about a month before. Leading up to the day she was on top of every detail and we felt so much more at ease knowing she was in charge. When it finally came to the wedding weekend we could not have been happier to have her with us. Our family and friends we so impressed by how organized and on time our DIY upstate, barn wedding was. Many of our guests were asking for Erin's contact information and some even thought she was a long time friend because of how well we all got along. For all those brides who think you don't need a wedding coordinator or a day of coordinator don't be silly, I thought I could do it all myself and I am so happy I actually got to enjoy my wedding and not worry about anything.

My husband and I did a lot of the planning and tried to stay organized , but we never could have pulled it off without Erin. We only needed her for the day of coordination but she made herself available to us in the months leading up the the wedding. She helped my mom with tips for vendors, got all of our vendors their parking passes, schlepped the boutonnieres to my husband and groomsmen, among many other tasks. Perhaps most importantly, she helped keep me calm on the day during pictures. My other vendors also loved her, my make up artist asked for her contact info. She stayed the entire event and made sure that everything was organized for us to take home. Really I can't recommend her highly enough.

I don't know where to begin to explain how truly amazing having Erin with us throughout the wedding planning and especially on our big day was. From the very beginning, Erin was all in and I immediately felt less stressed. Her bubbly, positive attitude and her organizational skills are what set her apart from everyone else. As we got closer to the wedding, she was taking care of things that I didn't even think of. She made us all so much more calm and we were truly able to relax and enjoy the process instead of feeling overwhelmed.
I didn't think Erin could get anymore amazing and then our wedding day came. Erin was there from the second our day started and until the second it ended. I am an extremely nervous, anxious person and Erin being there made me feel much more relaxed. I truly did not have to think for a second about what I had to do, or where I had to be, or when I had to be ready because Erin was on top of everything. From helping all the bridesmaids with their timing and getting ready to fixing my hair at the reception and putting bandaids on my feet to making sure we were enjoying every second of our day; this girl does it all!

If you are looking for someone you can trust with the organization of your wedding, Erin is exactly that person. From the beginning, my wife and I could see she knew what she was talking about and what she was doing. We learned about her through the wedding of a mutual friend and we were very impressed by her as a person. We found her incredible to work with. She is pleasant to talk to and is very good about answering questions. She made us both feel comfortable about the process and helped us keep on task without making us feel overwhelmed. She helped us with wedding details that we would never think of in the moment. She has such a knack for seeing the big picture and making sure you do not get lost in the forest with the planning. Most of all, she was excellent about communicating with both of us and respecting both of our needs as a couple going into the wedding process. It is very difficult to bifurcate your work and multitask to see to multiple parties' needs. Not only can Erin confront such difficulty, but she manages to make it look easy. I felt informed and prepared as a groom, particularly when I realized how much was involved- Erin guided me through while making sure my wife was taken care of. She knows how to prioritize and problem solve along the way. While challenges presented themselves on our wedding day, she knew how to make sure the day turn out great, which it did.

If there was an option to choose more than five stars, we would. Erin was the metaphorical navigation system for our day, the GPS that steered our world, if you will. From the time we booked Erin to be our day-of coordinator through our day-after lunch, she helped to keep things together. She helped in the planning process to craft a seamless timeline for the day, and it was great to have her at our final venue meeting to solidify all the details. Erin contacted each of our vendors a week before the wedding to introduce herself and let them know she would be the contact for any questions or concerns. It was a tremendous relief to be able to hand off the reins and know that everything would be taken care of. She then orchestrated our rehearsal, making sure that everyone knew what would happen the next day. On our wedding day, Erin ran interference for all questions, concerns, and tasks. She helped to keep things on time, reminding our bridal party and family of the schedule and getting groups together for pictures. She was instrumental in flipping our ceremony location into the floor plan for the reception, and her eye for detail shined through as our vision was realized. Erin worked well with our venue and other vendors, allowing us to simply enjoy. We cannot imagine how the day would have gone without her. She was the go-to person. She fielded the questions so we didn't have to. She managed the timeline so we could forget the time.

Erin is amazing. I met her through a friend and asked the NYC based coordinator if she would be willing to come back to St. Louis to help with my wedding. The timing worked just right and she was able to be in town for our wedding.

I asked a lot of her and she exceeded my expectation. I am a very hands on person and I needed her to be me since I had to be "the bride." I decided to DIY a lot of my wedding decor and needed someone to step in and make sure everything got set up correctly. She not only helped me keep on track the week before, she ran rehearsal, went to get more craft supplies for centerpieces (twice), she delivered our chuppah and helped my dad set it up the day of (multiple times due to the wind), delivered the centerpieces to the reception venue, ran the afternoon ceremony, set up the chuppah again (because we did two ceremonies), ran the evening ceremony, and did it all with ease with a smile on her face. This doesn't even include all the things she did without me knowing.

We had such an excellent experience with Erin. The week before the wedding, the stress really started to hit us. Having Erin was like running a relay race and having someone to pass the baton to. Beforehand, she did an awesome job of setting up phone calls with us to discuss details. She immediately knew what questions to ask, what things still needed to be taken care of, and also had numerous helpful suggestions. She asked for a list of all our vendors, their contact information, and also our families’ and bridal party’s names and contact information. She followed up with everyone via email or phone to introduce herself, verify schedule and everyone’s roles, and updated me on everything she had done. When she came into town before the wedding, she already had such a good grasp on my wedding vision and how the day would flow, and immediately put us at ease. She returned phone calls and emails to our vendors, so we could focus on things like finishing up our vows and just being excited to get married. One thing in particular I noticed was what a good job she did quickly building rapport with my friends and family. This made things go so much more smoothly as, when there are inevitable sudden issues or conflicts during such a big event, she already knew everyone and could quickly resolve the issue and move on with the day. She did an amazing job at the rehearsal with organizing and directing everyone, at a venue she had never even been to yet. On the day of the wedding, she was right there to keep me on schedule, check in with my vendors, and to make sure everything was being set up as I had asked. Afterwards, several of the vendors commented to me how delightful Erin had been to work with. Her personality is so laid-back, easy-going, and her sense of humor helps to lighten the mood when you are feeling stressed. I would totally hire her again if I ever have a big party or event. When people have told me how perfect my wedding was, I know it was because of her! More...

When we got closer to the big day my ability to organize and structure grew dim and Erin helped me so much!

When planning a wedding, especially by yourself, there’s no way to avoid that overwhelming feeling that you MUST be missing something. Erin is such a pro, she kept me on task but MORE importantly kept my stress level to a minimum constantly assuring me that the day would be exactly how I always dreamed it would be, if not better…and she couldn’t have been more right.
Erin went above and beyond the call of duty,making it a priority to meet all of my family members and bridal party. Doing this, made it possible for them to go to HER for questions, rather than me, the bride, time and time again. For those few days, Erin became part of my family!
She truly is the BEST option in New York City, ESPECIALLY with her competitive rates. She handled my wedding as if it were her own, and it flowed seamlessly. I cannot recommend her enough to all brides!!!!!! More...

Erin Spencer saved my wedding. When our rental company dropped the ball on our ceremony chairs, she (somehow!) convinced our reception venue to lend us their chairs, without incurring any additional charges. She recruited other vendors to carry chairs across the park, take the chairs away after the ceremony, kept my parents calm in the midst of all of this, and to top it all off I never knew the wiser! I was able to blissfully celebrate my wedding while she quickly troubleshot any and all situations.
If you’ve spent money on your wedding, you should enjoy it! I’ve learned it is important to protect the money you’ve already spent by having someone who can fix the little snafus on the big day. Erin Spencer will save your day. HIRE HER!! More...

Our day was perfect, and that is because our wedding was planned so well that our only concerns on the big day were remembering our vows, and the normal jitters every couple experiences right before the walk down the aisle. On our wedding day, Erin made sure the day ran smoothly. The bridal party knew exactly when and where to be, transportation was in order, with extra shuttles ready to deal with the snowy day and she had coordinated with my photographer and his assistant, both before and during the wedding. Erin had also developed a great rapport with the owner of our venue and made sure the smallest details down to the place cards for the tables and the favors were carried out specifically to our requests. Trust Erin to coordinate your day. She will listen to whatever requests you have and make it happen. I had the most perfect day of my life on my wedding day. More...

She thinks ahead to make sure that the next element of the wedding is in order. She has such a wonderful attitude and helped me stay calm throughout the wedding weekend. Erin took care of everything, and handled all little emergencies so that I could just enjoy my day. Thank you so much, Erin!

From our first meeting, to the very last dance during the reception, Erin was a vital asset to the wedding planning process. What I loved most about our experience with Erin is she is a collaborator. She and I were able to create an effective wedding day timeline together prior to the event. She was attentive to the requests of my Husband and I, and was able to corral our families and wedding party before, during, and after the weekend festivities. Her efforts helped the entire event flow with very little incidents. If you want a worry free wedding experience, I highly recommend Erin's services for your event. More...

Erin is the BEST. from helping to set up our wedding web*site, entering addresses( not such a pro with the computer am I!! ) to checking out the options for the location with us. and helping to make us feel confident about our decisions that complimented 'who we are' as a couple!!
our cake was DE*LISH! Erin was present for so many pre*wedding events to be just the best support and comfort for a bride mixing new families and friends from all walks of life and different era's of life.

You'll find no one with a greater attention to detail. I've known Erin as both a Stage Manager and Event Coordinator and her appreciation for a flawless experience for bride, groom and guests, I think, is essential for any couples big day! My own would not have been so smooth without her! More...
