Care in the details.
Calm in the moments.
A calming presence.
A thoughtful partner.
I’m Erika, founder of EMB Planning and Events. With over a decade of professional experience, I bring care, organization, and a steady hand to your celebration.
My career began in Chicago. Today, I’m based in Chattanooga, working with couples across Tennessee, the Southeast, and beyond. You bring your vision; I help make space for you to enjoy it.
Get to know Erika ↗A little more about me
My Chicago background includes weddings, corporate events, and private celebrations. It shaped my approach to preparation, clear communication, and thoughtful problem-solving.
After getting married in August 2024, my husband and I moved to Chattanooga to be closer to family. Away from planning, I love time with family and friends, a good cup of coffee, a workout, and playing with our two pups.
I welcome all couples and want the planning experience to feel collaborative, supportive, and personal from the beginning.
Still connected to
Chicago celebrations.
Chicago is where I built my planning career, and it remains part of my work. Now based in Chattanooga, I continue to welcome inquiries for Chicago weddings, bringing years of experience with the city’s venues and celebrations.
My Chicago venue experience includes Café Brauer, Union League Club of Chicago, Artifact Events, and Morgan Manufacturing.
More Chicago venues I’ve worked at
Galleria Marchetti, Loft Lucia, Rockwell on the River, Ovation, Bridgeport Art Center, Theatre on the Lake, and Morgan’s on Fulton.
