Wedding Planner and Group Travel Concierge
Erin Ahern
With over a decade of experience planning weddings and special events, Erin knows how to turn a vision into reality. After marrying her husband on the Amalfi Coast in Ravello, Italy, she realized just how complex destination wedding planning can be (even for a pro!) That experience sparked her passion for helping couples bring their dream celebrations to life with creativity, organization, and heart.
Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, Erin lives with her husband and their three pups — River, Noelle, and Delilah. She loves traveling the world, spending time outdoors, exploring new cities, and discovering amazing restaurants (and she makes a killer sourdough bread).
Beyond weddings, Erin has a knack for planning group trips and events, big or small, and finds so much joy in bringing people together to share unforgettable experiences. Whatever the vision, she’ll find a way to make it happen beautifully.

Hiking Specalist
Jenna Harding
Outside of being a loud and proud volleyball mom, Jenna spends all of her time thinking about where to travel next! Growing up she thought vacation meant going to a beach and soaking up the sun all day. In 2020 when all travel plans fell apart she took a trip outside of her normal travel plan. She ended up hiking and biking up a mountain in Glacier National Park and it ignited a fiery passion for this new kind of vacationing!
Jenna lives in Solon, Iowa with her husband Ron, daughter Makinley, precious pug Franky and two cats Maggie and JoJo. When she isn’t hiking she is cheering on Makinley at a volleyball game, biking with her husband, camping with her family or watching FRIENDS. She has hiked in places like Arizona, Montana, Utah, California, Wyoming Colorado and she is eager to help you plan a trip that you too maybe never thought about taking, but will most certainly never forget! She is ready to help you check destinations of your bucket list with National Parks trips, hiking destinations or any domestic adventure you might not even know exists yet! There is so much out there to see and she can’t wait to help you see it all!
