“I would work with Erica Thimsen and Helping Hands Parties & Weddings again in a heartbeat! Everyone in our families lives at opposite ends of the country -- my daughter and her fiance in NY, me in CA, bridesmaids and groomsmen scattered across two continents... the wedding to be held next to a lake out in the middle of Alabama. A challenge, to say the least! But our daughter's dreams of her glorious wedding day became a reality with Erica's attention to detail, her endless energy and insight, and her personal caring. While based in Huntsville, Erica's sources and resources extend far beyond the local environs. She provided us with topnotch options for rentals, vendors, traditions and more, accommodating our venue which was nearly an hour outside of HSV. Her recommendations truly shaped our entire weekend, leaving us all with beautiful and loving memories which we will forever treasure.
The planning along the way was meticulous and reassuring. Erica's accurate timelines and scheduled reminders of what-needs-to-be-done-by-when gave us a welcome structure that took the guesswork out of staging an event of this size. And when unexpected surprises invariably arose, Erica tackled each problem with her calm and resourceful ability to "pivot". We thank our lucky stars to have found "the best in the biz", when we engaged this lovely person as our wedding planner.
All I can say is: Erica is a godsend!”
