About

Hello,

I'm Erika. Thank you for stopping by my site. My hope is that I can help you create the event of your dreams because my dream is to help you make your dream a reality.  I started doing this events business first because creating things is my passion and it's my way to relax. It's also very therapeutic.

The second reason I started this business is because I want to help people keep their traditions and help them celebrate because in this time in the world it's easy to give up our traditions because of finances. I believe every family should be able to celebrate their traditions regardless of their budget. That's where I come in.

Some people also choose material things over these traditions. I was pleased when my daughter, when giving her the option between a car and a Quinceanera told me in all sincerity, "Mom, I will have a car one day, but this quincenerra only happens once, and I want to keep our traditions." Traditions are important to me because I see people move to the states and lose the traditions they left behind, so I was so pleased to hear my daughter on the same page.

The last thing that motivated me to start this company is because when I got help for my daughter's Quinceanera, I had to deal with the worst customer service. I loved the products that the company had offered but it was clear they were in it more for the bottom line than for helping me make my daughter's Quinceanera everything she had dreamed. This motivated me the most because I don't want anyone else to be taken advantage of the way I was. They gave me one price and changed it. They said they would do one thing, but ended up doing something else. It made the process stressful instead of enjoyable.

This is why I'm dedicated to helping my clients by being up front with costs and services. I want to make sure not only your event is successful, but everything that happens along the way.  This business is not first about money for me, it's about love for what I do,  love for seeing my clients pleased and happy with the results, and most importantly love for creating a business that not only creates good products but encourages the feedback of it's clients and works with integrity.

Sincerely,

Erika Cortes
CEO of Erika's Elegant Events
