Excellent planner!

Lindsey at Highland Avenue Events did an excellent job managing all of the details of our wedding day and the days leading up to our wedding. Our wedding day ran smoothly and we did not have to worry about any details. We could enjoy the day fully without extraneous thoughts. During wedding prep, Lindsey was always available to answer any questions I had about details, scheduling, people, you name it. I highly recommend using her services to help your wedding day be executed perfectly!

Absolutely Amazing!!!

Lindsey and her amazing team at Highland Avenue Events made our wedding experience so enjoyable and stress-free! Lindsey made all of our dreams come true, her attentiveness to detail and experience allowed our vision to come to life. Our wedding exceeded our expectations and it would not have been possible without Lindsey and her team. We are truly thankful that we got to work with Lindsey and would recommend her to anyone looking to plan their dream wedding! Thank you for everything Lindsey!

Easiest Coordinator Ever!

I had the pleasure of working with Carly for my wedding as our "Day of Coordinator" which really was more along the lines of a "Month of Coordinator" and truly could not have asked for more! With our package, Carly managed the floorplan, all vendor management the week of, the timeline, running through rehearsal, walk-throughs, all things set-up and breakdown (which really helped us out so so much, EXTREMELY WORTH IT), and all day-of management. She has obviously been doing this a long time as she answered every question I had before I even had to ask and had so much professional advice to offer when I needed it. She was extremely flexible about tending to some of our unique needs and even when we asked if she could take the lead on displaying some of our decorations to make them look best according to her professional opinion, she completely obliged and did a wonderful job!! Many of my family members also complimented her ability to be so on top of the timeline and made everyone feel comfortable and at ease. I would hire Carly again in a heart beat - she is extremely friendly, thoughtful, trustworthy, and professional. So glad I got to work with her! These services are totally worth it and made wedding coordination easier than I could have ever imagined!

Highland Avenue is THE BEST

When we first began the process of planning our wedding, it was very daunting. I had spoken with some other planners who made me feel like our wedding with our budget wasn't possible. But once I spoke with Lindsey Farrell of Highland Avenue events, everything changed. She had the most positive, calming, confident energy and I was excited to work with her. Lindsey made our dream wedding come true. She is SO on top of everything. I always felt like I was in the best hands. I trust her completely with her advice and suggestions and I never felt like I wasn't a top priority. I honestly cannot say enough good things. She's also an incredible person who I felt was my friend through this whole process. You cannot go wrong in choosing her and her team!!

A+ service!!!

Working with Lindsey was a dream. She was capable: She knew all the vendors and venues and could steer us toward the most value for the least expense. She was thoughtful: She weighed in and offered her opinions when needed but was never judgmental or overbearing. She was delightful: communicating with Lindsey was always prompt and pleasant.

Lindsey was the perfect planner for us (two out of towners who relied on her a LOT). I couldn't recommend her highly enough. Thank you Lindsey!

Loved our destination beach wedding!

Lindsey made our beach destination wedding dream a reality and was there to guide and encourage us every step of the way! Even with some unexpected rain the day of, she was there representing our interests and coordinating smoothly through multiple location changes.

After a couple weeks of struggling to compare beach wedding locations, we knew we needed help. We chose Lindsey Farrell from Highland Avenue Events because she is local to Austin as well as works with a network of planners for destinations. I absolutely love her style, and Lindsey really worked with us to determine where to allocate our budget based on our priorities and ensured that even in areas where we decided not to splurge (i.e. colored plates) things looked gorgeous.

From providing a personalized timeline and budget guidance to scheduling catch up calls, Lindsey ensured that we didn’t miss any big milestones. Most importantly to us, Lindsey also led us to a few venues that we hadn’t discovered on our own and ultimately suggested the location we picked and have fallen in love with: Nizuc Resort & Spa. She provided guidance on vendors as well and even led us to Feather & Twine, a traveling husband and wife photography team who took our photos and who we absolutely fell in love with.

When the day of our outdoor beach wedding came, the reception and ceremony set-up was was even more beautiful than I’d imagined. When we were unexpectedly hit by a rain storm which started part-way through our ceremony, she coordinated with the resort staff to quickly move all of the seating assignments and the moveable decor into our back-up room (not an easy task as I asked her to wait as long as possible in case it may let up). It was important to me to be able to dance under the stars, and while the venue was hesitant to move everything a second time she was able to negotiate to move the DJ back outdoors after the dinner to return to dancing under the stars. From the amazing staff at Nizuc to the amazingly friendly and talented photographers Feather & Twine, Lindsey surrounded us with people who cared about our interests and experience. I am not as stylish as I’d like to be (every redecorating change starts with hours of researching others’ ideas on pinterest), and having Lindsey in our corner was invaluable for our big day!

Lindsey was incredible. Truly could not have done our wedding without her!

Lindsey helped us all through the planning phase, keeping us on track with all of the planning. She had amazing recommendations for vendors and really helped us think through all the tiny details we never would have known about. We had comments from all of our family members about how nicely the weekend was planned and how easy it was for guests to just show up and enjoy everything. We walked in to the reception that she had helped put together and everything was absolutely gorgeous. Worth every penny! Thanks Lindsey!

Highland Avenue is incredible

Lindsey is the calm, organized, charismatic woman you would expect to be running massive million-dollar events. She handled everything I threw at her during planning, the wedding went perfectly, and everyone commented about how great she was—and she knew how to tie bow-ties better than most of the guys. Hah. Would absolutely recommend—Worth. The. Money.

The best you could ask for, hands down!

Lindsey and team went above and beyond expectations at every step of the way. My destination wedding added an extra layer of planning and logistics which Lindsey met with the ease and confidence of a seasoned veteran. She was always ahead of the game so my finace and I could stay organized and really had time to think about what we wanted.
Her opinion offered a welcomed and necessary balance during the planning process to help keep us on budget and on target with what we really wanted out of the big day. Any little bump in the road was quickly and easily addressed which made me feel so at ease during the process. The day-of was smooth because Lindsey had everything handled with nothing but a smile! All in all, Lindsey is truly the best and you are in the right hands if you work with her!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
