I would absolutely HIGHLY recommend Lindsey to any bride. We were so thrilled with Lindsey and her team and could not say one negative thing about the experience. I have already given her name to many brides just starting off. I loved many things about Lindsey but to name a few top:

Lindsey had such a professional demeanor but was also friendly and fun, someone I actually wanted to be around and enjoyed spending the year planning with her. She has a great way of saying "I don't think that's the best idea" without completely shutting anyone down. Because, you are paying for someone with an experienced opinion so you want them to give it to you, and Lindsey did it in the most polite and professional way. I saw her interact with my family, in-laws, all the vendors, and everyone respected her and she was nothing but polite and professional. And, most importantly, if I as the bride got stressed and testy (it happens) Lindsey handled it with the most poise and calming presence. I 100% trusted her.

Lindsey has a great design eye. One worry I had with a planner was that they would just brand themselves and not see my vision. Absolutely not the case with Lindsey, she totally captured my vibe and vision and gave me many options, never pushed me towards something that was "her style".

Lindsey was very budget friendly and always gave me multiple options to review. For example, I got at least 10 options for florals. I went with the cheapest, and trusted her opinion that for the price it was great value. I was not disappointed, the flowers were perfect and I was happy to save some money in that area.

Lindsey executed the big day without a single hic-up and to me that says it all. I did not worry one bit the whole day and literally every detail fell in to perfect place thanks to Lindsey and her team. She is truly amazing!

I could go on and on! Brides will not be disappointed with choosing Lindsey. If you are on the fence, I recommend meeting Lindsey in person. We met up for coffee before choosing her. You will immediately love her attitude, professionalism, and poise,. and you'll want to spend the next year of planning with her!

Working with Lindsey and team made all the difference for our destination wedding in Sonoma/Kenwood. We live on the east coast, so Lindsey was our eyes and ears for a lot of our vendor decisions and long-distance planning. I can't say enough about how organized and helpful she was-- and how a majority of our phone calls turned into therapy sessions while I vented about family, planning and more. Lindsey beautifully managed our rehearsal the day before the wedding and ran the show on the day of. Every guest, detail, musical cue, candle and napkin was exactly how I wanted it, and the end result was absolutely perfect. It was *literally* the perfect day. I wish Lindsey could plan my whole life! I met with a number of planners in Sonoma in preparation for the wedding and Lindsey stood out because she was firm, professional and supportive. Exactly what you need when gathering 100 of your nearest and dearest in wine country. Thank you Lindsey and team!!

I hired L'Relyea events as the day of coordinator for my June 20, 2015 wedding. And I could not be happier with my decision! My mom and I met with Lindsey, Julia, and Delaney about a month before the big event. They helped us get organized and put the finishing touches on everything! They had great ideas that complemented my overall vision perfectly. When the big day finally arrived Julia and Delaney were there with smiles on their faces to help set-up and run the rehearsal. Thank goodness they were there since it turns out that trying to get 10 family members to set tables for 200 people can be quite complicated without expert guidance! We needed a chief, thank goodness Julia was there for us! Our wedding turned out to be absolute perfection!! Julia and Delaney kept everything and everyone on schedule. Literally nothing went wrong! It was the perfect day. I could go on and on... but I will keep it short(ish) and just say: Lindsey and her team clearly love what they do and know how to execute an event flawlessly. Hire them. You will not be disappointed.

My wedding was a bit different from most. We had 2 ceremonies, it spanned almost 12 hours, my husband came in on a horse. I knew that whoever I picked to be my wedding planner needed to be up for a fun and crazy ride. Working with l'Relyea Events surpassed all my hopes and expectations. They helped me and my husband combine two cultures with ease and beauty. The wedding was beyond our dreams and amazed our guests. What is better? The planning process was fun and professional. Lindsey and team were amazing from start to finish. From day one of working with them we felt comfortable, confident and excited about our day. I can not say enough how much I recommend this company to help out with your special day! P.S. I do events for a living so I had an incredibly high standard to meet. . . they flew past it!

Julia did an outstanding job. Our wedding in Sonoma was perfect!

In the 3 months leading up to the wedding, we had weekly calls with Julia where she made sure we were on track. She guided us through the tougher decisions, deftly navigated our in-call arguments, and gave us great ideas and advice on the items we wanted to DIY.

I have a super high bar for this type of thing (I am hyper-organized and type-A in my work), and I generally feel like to do things right, I have to do them myself. However, the way Julia carried herself and got stuff done, she earned my complete faith in her. In the couple of months leading up to the wedding, Julia drove the communications with vendors, took meetings with our venue and catering coordinators as needed (so we didn't have to), and made sure rides, rentals, and other vendors were all aligned.

Julia was also always available if I was freaking out about something - if I ever called she always returned my calls extremely promptly.

The wedding - perfect. It was just flawless, and we didn't have to do anything! Julia handled it all. And any time we saw her during the evening, she was relaxed, happy, and had an air of confidence that let us know everything was fully under control.

Fabulous job, I highly recommend Julia. Thank you, Julia!!

I have planned many events, and so thought all I needed was "day of events", which is what we contracted for. But- I never planned my own wedding!!!! Julia and Lindsey were terrific, helping with so much more than just the day of the event! Julia had several "phone conferences" with us, and we each ended up with a list of "to-dos", there were so many things she was able to suggest and offer ideas about.

The day before and the actual day of the event, I never once worried about a thing, knowing Julia had it all in hand. I loved seeing the photos after seeing things she took care of with my friends. She kept things on track, I never had to think about the time or what needed to be done. I love the photo of Julia pinning a corsage on my son.... priceless!!!!

I am so happy I used L'Reylea Events to help with my Wedding, it made my day and the planning so much more fun and less stressful. Thanks especially to Julia and also to Lindsey.

I hired Lindsey as my wedding planner for full service planning. I was so lucky to have found her and her company. She is an amazing person on a professional level as well as a personal level. She really does become a friend during the process of planning because she is so sweet and easy to get along with - such a great woman to work with. She makes everything so easy, comfortable and smooth. Even though I hired her for full-service planning, I wanted to be a part of details and do some DIY projects so she laid out a timeline for us from the beginning and gave me monthly checklists so nothing ever got too overwhelming or became too much of a burden. This was perfect for me. She really worked to understand me and helped provide the perfect experience in every step of the way. Everything from beginning venue selection to the night before the wedding last minute details, she was my rock. I would highly recommend using her as your wedding planner.

I hired Lindsey to help us with the day of coordination for our wedding! Lindsey is one of those people you instantly like! She is very approachable and easy to talk to. She listened all my ideas and was interested in not only what I wanted the wedding to look like but how I wanted the wedding to feel!
Throughout the planning process she was responsive and very helpful! The day of the wedding I was fully confident that she would help create an amazing day for us and she did!! Our wedding ceremony and reception went flawlessly and it was thanks to Lindsey!

We are so thankful to have found L'Relyea Events to help us with our wedding in Sonoma.

Although we hired Lindsey for day-of coordination, in reality it was much more. She worked closely with us during the months leading up to the wedding and helped up get a handle on the best way to organize the flow of the day. She was available with advice and expertise on just about anything that came up and really took the time to understand our vision for the day. Leading up to the wedding she was in contact with all our vendors which took a huge load off our plates (as a bonus, she already had a professional relationship with several of our vendors). On the big day, Lindsey and her assistant Julia did a wonderful job of executing all the details. Our ceremony and reception were at two different sites and there was a lot of set up and execution that needed to happen simultaneous at both spots. There was a lot to coordinate and they did it flawlessly.

Lindsey was extremely organized, calm, professional -- and not to mention a joy to have around on our wedding day! She has good judgment and is the type of person who just gets stuff done. She is exactly the type of person you want in your corner.

Having a team like L'Relyea Events gave us the peace of mind to just relax and really be able to enjoy the day we had worked so hard to plan.

My wife, Lianna, and I were married on October 6th, 2012 in our hometown of Healdsburg, California. We are currently living on the East Coast, and were thus faced with the challenge of planning our wedding to take place on the other side of the country. We looked into the prospect of a DIY wedding and soon realized that we needed someone whom we could trust to take care of most of the heavy lifting. Lianna’s mother came across Lindsey at a wedding expo just outside of Healdsburg and was taken with Lindsey’s charm and wedding ideas. We talked with Lindsey on the phone and were excited both with the service package that she drafted for our needs as well as with her fun attitude and personality. We could tell that Lindsey would be really great to work with. From the first planning sessions Lindsey presented great ideas that were really in line with our vision for our wedding: Rustic but Elegant.
There were several logistical aspects to overcome with our venue such as how to turn what was really a gravel driveway into the beautiful ceremony site we were envisioning (and that it became!). The day before the wedding the servers we were slatted to work with fell through and Lindsey miraculously arranged another service team that were amazing and even under budget. Lindsey handled it so well that we never even knew this snafu had occurred until after the fact. Lindsey arranged with the rental company to allow us to take chairs and equipment from the venue to use the next day at an in-home post wedding breakfast we hosted for our guests. Lindsey met with our vendors at the wedding site numerous times to work out lighting and catering details. During the reception, when the girl’s bathroom had a sudden plumbing issue, Lindsey was there while the rest of us were unaware of the problem.
Lindsey truly became part of the family and was always a calming presence when needed as well as just as excited as we were to make the wedding be the greatest day.
