Mompreneur | Master Organizer | Wedding Addict
Erica Scott
Owner, Primary Consultant
After being in business for almost 13 years, I’m here to tell you that this company is securely rooted in love.
A Little About Me.
I was 23 years old when I started Erica Weddings. Just me, a website and a whole lot of determination. I learned a lot of lessons in this industry. You could say it’s where I grew up. As 1 year turned into 5, then 10 and so on, I built a team that worked for and alongside me. Every current member of my team has been with me for over 5 years. The Erica Weddings team truly is a family and that brings me such pride.
In mid 2019 I returned to doing weddings after a 2 year hiatus to stay home and raise my babies. Upon returning, I began to feel a shift in the business. The wedding industry had changed and, frankly, so had I. I knew the landscape of my business needed to change too. And it started with me being completely authentic about who I am.
I’m a wife of over 10 years. I’m a mom to 3 kids, one of which is on the spectrum. I had 3 kids in 3 years to be exact. My days are routine (thank you, spectrum child!) yet beautifully chaotic and messy all at the same time. But, if there’s one thing motherhood has taught me it’s how to work efficiently: getting the most done with the least amount of time. I’ve mastered the mom look of leggings and comfortable, flowy tops that can pass for “professional casual” and the messy bun is my daily jam. Take a look at that bio pic. I included my kids because being genuine is so important to me. I’m a mom. I love my kids and I love weddings. I love weddings as much as I did 13 years ago.
Upon my return in 2019, doing weddings took on a new meaning for me. It was no longer something I needed to do but it was something that simply brought me joy. It was now a creative outlet….something I had that was just for me! The excitement over this business shift harkened me back to my early 20’s when I first started the company.
As the Owner and Primary Consultant for Erica Weddings, I work exclusively with couples who are looking for a luxury Full Service Planning experience. My desire is to give each of my clients the comprehensive luxe planning experience they deserve. And, because being a fully present stay-at-home mom is still my most important title, depending on the size and complexity of the weddings I have booked, I may only book a handful of weddings per year.
So, if you think you and I might be a good match, please contact me! Let’s chat over drinks, lunch, Skype or whatever suits your fancy. Talking about weddings make me happy!

I believe that marriage is the best investment into everlasting joy! I’m a romantic at heart and seeing the love two people have for each other is magical to me. I know how important your wedding day is which is why I make it my personal mission to give you the fairy-tale day you deserve. Your wedding goes by in a flash and, since I love organizing and paying attention to details, I’m very passionate about the bride and groom being able to just take the whole moment in and enjoy every minute of their special day.
I got my start with event administration at a local church. I have experience with small to large-scale events and am completely addicted to making schedules and timelines. By day, I am in the people business professionally as a mental health therapist and feel like my many years coordinating weddings has helped me to be the expert nerve calmer I am today. My brides and families are able to feel relaxed and comfortable knowing that I have it all under control. Whatever challenges may arise, they are never too big to handle.
I am a mother to the most beautiful little boy I’ve ever laid eyes on. I’m only extremely biased! My husband is a bible teacher and football and baseball coach at a private school. Which means that I am a year-round sports widow. In the beginning of my journey with Erica Weddings I was in my undergraduate degree and the romantic in me wanted to experience the magic of weddings. Throughout my career with Erica I have graduated with two college degrees, had a baby and am currently pursing my doctorate. Knowing that I have the flexibility to be a mom, a business woman and continue my educational pursuits is such a blessing for me and my family. We are a family company and every single one of my brides and families I’ve worked with always end up feeling like part of my “why”.

In 2012, while planning my own wedding, I reached out to Erica to see if I could be a part of the Erica Weddings team. I was loving planning my own wedding and all the organizing that came with it. It only took a few events working with Erica and I was hooked!
I have been a practicing nurse since 2010 and I’m now a nurse practitioner. I have always loved to coordinate weddings on the weekend because of the joy and union it brings…plus it brings out the organizer in me!
I was born and raised in Tulsa where I graduated from Memorial High School. From there I went on to nursing school. I now live in Edmond with my husband, Aaron, and our growing family. I’m a huge Oklahoma State, OKC Thunder and St Louis Cardinals fan.
I’ve been married to my husband for over 7 years and we have 2 children. Working and being a mom keeps me balanced and better at both roles. Being a mom is my greatest role, but I aspire for my family to see that hard work can be both fun and fulfilling.
