Hey Y'all!

I'm Emma R. Aguilar, the Owner & Event Stylist behind ERA Events

Hailing from the vibrant city of New Orleans, I grew up steeped in the traditions of Southern hospitality, where any excuse to celebrate is a good one. Now, planning exuberant celebrations is my calling! I thrive on creating magical, unforgettable experiences and have been the go-to party planner among my friends for years. My passion lies in crafting events that truly reflect my clients' unique personalities and incorporating sentimental details that recognizably radiate "you"!

Before diving headfirst into my event planning ERA, I practiced law and worked in sales and account management. These experiences taught me organization, valuable team skills across lots of personalities, and to always have a Plan B (and sometimes Plan C and D). What sets me apart is my unwavering positive attitude, boundless creativity, eye for detail, and commitment to going above and beyond.
When I'm not busy planning events, you can find me traveling (where I get much of my inspiration), trying out new restaurants, browsing interior design stores, or making bouquets with flowers from my community garden plot.

Let’s chat!

Testimonials

“ERA Events helped me with my international proposal in Canada, and everything went perfectly! They helped me with my vision for the proposal, worked through the logistical and legal details to ensure I had access to the perfect location for the surprise, created step-by-step directions for everyone who was involved, sourced proposal props such as lighting/candles/signs, sourced the best professional photographers in the area, and more. I really appreciated their personal approach, expertise, attention to details that I would have never considered, and how they kept everything coordinated and on track.”

Testimonials

“Emma collected information about our interests, potential theme ideas, and ideal flow of the event and used our preferences along with creative ideas of her own to turn the concepts into reality…Since we love skiing, Emma weaved this into the theme. Seeing our interests reflected in the personalized theme and decor made the event feel truly unique to us!”

Working with Emma was a breeze - she understood my vision for the party, worked with me to create a budget, and executed the party flawlessly.
