Erika was amazing. Her set up was absolutely professional and what I had imagined. We had a last minute change in my weekend plans and she came through with little instruction. She’s very easy going and knew exactly what we needed. I would definitely use her again for my events! Thanks Erika!

Christine, you ladies were fun and exciting. Thank you for allowing me to share with you my favorite wines and champagnes. When you plan the next bachelorette weekend call me and I'll be right there!
Have a fantastically coordinated day!

Erika (Cast Your Cares Event Planning) is a true professional planner and an excellent event coordinator. Rosa and I chose Erika to coordinate our wedding and although it was the biggest wedding in town, it certainly had it's challenges and Ms. Erika handled everyone of them like a pro.
We could not have been happier with Erika and her work with us and our vendors. Her greatest asset was no more evident and very much on display, the day of our wedding. Wow... Erika was spot on from start to finish, keeping all those involved with our special day, on time and together. From getting my bride's hair and makeup finished (with photos!) and into the limo to the church ON TIME, to making sure all of our guests were enjoying the reception (photos of us at each table), and then keeping us on time leaving the reception and off to our life as husband and wife. Just a well done job all around.
I would like to complement Erika on her beautiful decorations for the reception (tables, cake tables, etc,) and her expert management the guest seating chart (which is not and easy chore) ....
Rosa and I were so impressed with Erika's work coordinating our wedding, we do plan to chose Cast Your Cares again with upcoming professional and special events (milestone birthdays and charity functions).
Thanks again Erika! You are a dream to work with and you helped us truly enjoy our very special day!

Pete,
You and Rosa (and the dogs) quickly became family. I appreciate you both allowing me to create your dream weddings. I enjoyed my special planning time with both of you.
Have a fantastically coordinated day!

Ms. Erika was very easy to work with. I laid out everything i wanted and how i wanted it to happen with my wedding and she made it happen. I didn’t have a care in the world on my big day. She attended to my husband and I first hand at the reception but at the same time she was under the radar. Very professional. I really enjoyed her work i booked her for my baby shower. The transformation she did was amazing. Again every idea i wanted she made happen. Definitely would book with Erika again for my next event.

My husband surprised me for Valentine’s Day and hired beautiful Erika to be our mixologist for the evening. She created many signature cocktails. OMG, so delicious and her presentation was top notch. You will be totally pleased!!!! Thanks Erika for a memorable night.

Have a fantastically coordinated day!

I was completely overwhelmed prior to speaking with Miss Erika. She talked me through everything and was able to clear any doubts or concerns I had. My mind is at ease and I am thankful for her!!
