Erin McDonald Co

Ripped off my company for over $2600 from 2022. Just wrote off the debt today. I would be careful working with this company.

We hired Erin as the florist and interior designer for our wedding. He was extremely responsive, kind, and professional throughout the whole planning process; a true pleasure to work with. I felt confident putting my dream wedding in Erin's hands and he absolutely delivered. I am still in awe about how beautiful the ceremony and reception area were. We received countless compliments and are forever grateful we have photos to look back on and re-capture this beautiful, stunning day- thanks to Erin. I would hire him and his team back in a heartbeat.

I would like to recommend Erin highly for your wedding our any event. He is the best at what he does and was an integral part of making our wedding day the best ever. My wife and I love Erin not only for his talent but as a warm, smart, funny, and assuring person he is. Again, If you couldn’t tell we love Erin and all his talent and would recommend him highly.

Erin McDonald is the best Chicago Wedding Floral Designer & Event Planner! Why? Erin has impeccable style, vision & execution! He set the entire energy for our wedding by creating an elegant floral archway for the ceremony and stunning bouquets for the bride & bridesmaids. He set the perfect combination of flowers (quantity and height) and candles at the dinner tables. He also hung garlands and white lights from the ceilings to generate a romantic ambiance. Erin brought style, grace and elegance to our wedding.

We hired Erin McDonald Co to create the flower arrangements for our wedding and we could not have been happier with the outcome. They were the perfect combination of colors and tone for the atmosphere of our wedding day.

We will always remember the exquisite flower arrangements that truly created an uplifting and elegant space for our guests.

Erin was professional, courteous and creative from the moment we met him.

Erin worked with us diligently and was there for me through the entire planning process up until and through the wedding. His responses to voicemails and text-messages were prompt and thorough.
I loved working with Erin. He was a joy.
Thank you Erin for and excellent job well done! ️

Erin was such a pleasure to work with! He brought my friends vision to life for a surprise birthday brunch. The event space was designed and decorated beautifully. His expertise and wide range of add ons/rentals takes the guesswork out of planning any event! He is an amazing collaborator from a vendor standpoint as well, which helps when pulling different event professionals together. Prompt, professional and polished from start to finish! Don’t hesitate… book with Erin and Fuse and Anchor immediately!

Erin is a world class designer who worked with us on our newly purchased home. His work incorporated color design, furniture and lighting selection and placement, and partnering with other members of the redesign teams. This was a complex project, taking several generations of furniture across multiple properties, and incorporating it into a home that feels ultimately beautiful and innately us.

I give him the highest level of recommendation as he is truly sensitive and listens to client's needs, internalizes them and gives you back more beauty than you had imagined.

No "In store shopping" as advertised. Showed up and they said they don't do retail

My experience with Erin was, to say the least - amazing. From his personality, venue space, decorations, and his lovely floral pieces, everything he provided was amazing. Simply amazing. Under the crazy circumstances of planning a wedding in a month and a half and a very low budget, he created the best wedding i could dream of. He was more than just a florist or coordinator, he was a human caplable of dealing with the craziness of the guests & my tears and breakdowns. I felt safe and simply just taken care of. I left the best day of my life in his hands and he succeeded at making me feel the creativity that made this day perfect. His creative skills truly made this happen. His work is a work of art and I would get married everyday if it meant I could have Erin’s services! His sister, Coleen came to help coordinate and really they both handled the most important day with such ease. The whole experience that was provided to me and my husband was truly a blessing. If you want perfection, contact Erin!

Erin was the florist for my NYE wedding and he is truly one of a kind. I don’t think I could have been more blown away by his design and execution of my vision. Everything was perfect and exactly what we imagined (plus more!). Within a few days of the wedding, we lost almost half our attendees due to the pandemic. My biggest fear was that our venue would feel large and I would lose the intimate vibe that I was looking for. Erin found a way to make a room that can sit 600+ people feel small and intimate with only 50 guests. Not only is his creativity unique and original, he is a lovely to work with and was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns. If you have a special event with a certain aesthetic in mind and you want to be assured everything will look like complete perfection…hire Erin.

Erin is an amazing guy and is so talented in party planning. He will do it all for you and he’ll do it better than you dreamed of. Erin is planning our wedding and it’s everything and more than I imagined!

Completely "BLOWN" away are the best words that I can use to describe the Outstanding Flower Arrangements by Erin McDonald Co. I can honestly say that my Bridal Bouquet was the most beautiful bouquet that I have ever seen. For our elegant affair, Erin put together an assortment of both White and Ivory roses with seasonal greens and a bit of Bling which was Exquisitely Beautiful and eye-catching to say the least. Guests who attended our Wedding raved about the wrist corsages, boutonnieres and of course the Classic elegance of my bouquet. Erin had the ability to understand my vision and carried it out in such a way that went Above and Beyond our expectations. I HIGHLY recommend Erin McDonald Co. TJ

I was referred to Erin by our wedding venue inn on broadway. The reason i chose to work with Erin with floral, design, and furniture is because he gave me so much confidence that he could run with my ideas and execute without involving me in all of the details. He was intimately familiar with my venue and the floor plan. That is exactly what i wanted when i was pursuing a floral and design vendor. Het met with me on two occasions at the venue and made me feel so excited and worry free about my day. He gave me direction and advice on how the night should flow and i agreed with all of his takes. He also gave me pictures and ideas ahead of the event to make sure i was happy with the direction he was taking. He designed the entire room, the furniture and lay out was so perfect, and the floral and vases really lit up the room and was so tasteful and beautiful! I absolutely loved my bouquet and the corsage and boutonnieres for my family were so well done. He even gave me some ideas of how i should set up the seating chart which i couldnt have been happier with. I wanted a stress free beautiful day and i was SO SO happy with the work Erin and his team did. I will definitely use him again and highly recommend!

My husband and I chose Erin McDonald Co for our intimate fall wedding and we were absolutely blown away. Erin is truly an artist. He was flexible, really listened to our vision and executed the event flawlessly. We still can’t stop day dreaming of the beautiful florals and enchanted design. Thank you so much Erin Mcdonald Co for making our day even more special.

Erin is a PHENOMENAL florist. We asked him to incorporate fall themes into our wedding and he delivered with outstandingly vivid color, flower/fruit/vegetable combinations and flawless arrangements. He perfectly created what we had invision in our minds. We cannot express our garditude enough to Erin and his incredible team. When my wife saw the arrangement for the first time at our venue she began to cry, what more can you ask for. Erin has my highest recommendation

Erin designed our wedding this September. He was thoughtful about creating a unique experience that reflected our personal aesthetic. I was so impressed by his creativity and execution. Our event was hosted outdoors and when the wind picked up the morning of he was able to completely revamp our large standing table arrangements and they looked exquisite. I highly recommend working with Erin!

Erin and his team made magic the day of our wedding! When everything went south because of the pandemic, Erin came to the rescue and made sure we still have the wedding we have envisioned. He's so sweet and easy to talk to but at the same time, direct with his thoughts regarding feasibility of the design. Following significant consideration, he was able to make proper adjustments according to our theme, budget, and venue limitations even at the last minute. I mean, look at our wedding photos!

Lastly, Erin himself personally delivered the bridal party bouquets in our hotel which I thought was really sweet of him to do. He also met with me again before the ceremony started just to give me assurance that everything is in place and ready. I'm not sure if all other designer/florists do this but it definitely helped the anxious bride in me day of! ️ Again, thank you so much for your creative talent Erin. We appreciate you and your team so much!

I had the pleasure of working with Erin and his team for my wedding 2 years in a row. I cannot describe how beautiful my florals were both times. He took my vision and created a look far beyond that. I was blown away by his work and how beautiful everything was! We received many, many compliments from our guests as well.

I would definitely recommend Erin and I look forward to working with him again in the future!

Great response time and great style and design. Wasn't exactly in our price range but Erin is amazing.

Erin was exceptional! He was extremely efficient, professional, and so sweet! The communication was quick and he was also extremely flexible! I was blown away by the outcome of the flowers at our wedding! Would highly recommend! Thanks for everything Erin!

Erin McDonald is a talented event designer that I highly recommend. He and his team designed my 50th birthday party in an incredible raw space in Chicago. He designed a stunning show-stopping balloon installation and seamlessly collaborated with our caterer. It was a beautiful, memorable celebration.

This company does extraordinary work! Erin designs your event from start to finish - his vision comes alive using lighting and decor, floral designs and decorations, and the results are amazing. Would not hesitate to recommend Erin McDonald Co.

I witnessed the expertise of Erin McDonald & Co.for a 350+ wedding we hosted. From the first moment the bride, groom & family viewed the floral centerpiece design they were in awe. Erin McDonald & Co.was in complete control of their dream. The bride & grooms wedding reception vision had been perfectly interpreted into a stunning floral/tabletop design. With grace and experience, Erin guided the client effortlessly thru the options without overwhelming the bride and groom. The prototype of your wedding design/decor is a day you should be blown away and also breathe a sigh of relief and confidence knowing you are in the best of hands with your floral designer. Erin McDonald & Co.produced the most exquisite wedding with handsome details on display. All of the wedding components were beautiful and no element was overlooked. When the bride & groom entered the room on their wedding night they were moved to tears.as every bride and groom should be.

They are beautiful loft apartments. I lived on the 7th floor. With that being said, it is in a bad area. Even with a gate, my car was broken into and stolen. Multiple neighbors have had their cars broken into. The complex wont use their cameras though for some reason. Also the floors/ ceilings are very thin. The year I lived there the neighbor below me would scream and hit my floor (his ceiling) if my dog would walk around the apartment. (and he is far from a hyper dog) or one time I dropped a plastic cup and he hit my floor for the next 5 minutes. I notified my leasing agent and she said she has had issues with this man before and would handle it. A year later it was never handled.
