Best Coordinator You Could Pick

One of the nicest, calmest, and most dedicated wedding coordinators you could ever ask for! (seriously, she was in the hospital with a burst appendix and still making calls for us!) I honestly cannot recommend Lindsey enough! She is so sweet, and made the entire lead up to and the day of the wedding honestly so easy and magical. Your best choice right here.

Lindsey Paige Hastings, Day-of Coordination

Thanks to Lindsey's professional communication and attention to detail, our wedding planning process was far lower-stress than anticipated, especially in the final month before the event. From our first meeting, it was clear that she had the experience necessary to make sure every aspect of the event was thought out and nothing fell through the cracks. Even in places where we wanted to break with tradition, she not only helped us secure the resources we needed, but came up with some wonderful ideas of her own. Lindsey was invaluable in helping us achieve our unique vision for our wedding.

Best wedding planner!

If you’re looking for a talented, creative, and supportive wedding coordinator who will go above and beyond for you, look no further than Lindsey! We are two musicians that wanted to throw an unforgettable, funky, psychedelic, music-oriented wedding in the classiest way possible. Lindsey was instrumental in not only making this a reality, but also helped make our time planning as enjoyable and easy as possible.

We booked Lindsey for her “Partial Planning” package and had the pleasure of getting to know her pretty well over the course of a year. While we had initially reached out to several well-established wedding planning companies, we ultimately chose Lindsey because we sensed in her a kindred creative soul that would understand our unique vision for our wedding, and whose personality we would enjoy working closely with for a year. If we’re being honest, the wedding planning process can be grueling at times, and inevitably some things will not go as originally planned - for us, it was very important to have a planner that would do everything in their control to be resourceful when issues arose while maintaining a calm demeanor to not further stress us out. Lindsey definitely hit the mark on this.

Lindsey worked well with all our vendors. We had a large number of them to juggle – venue, lighting company, live band and DJ, HMUA, floral, 2 rental companies, photographer, and videographer. Lindsey was a pro and handled all the logistics/communications with them seamlessly. Lindsey also made several great vendor recommendations that we wouldn’t have found on our own and ended up being huge hits for us. We could tell she has a good reputation in the wedding industry.

We envisioned a specific vibe for our wedding and Lindsey took time to understand the personalities that ticked behind all our crazy and random ideas. She added her own thoughtful suggestions, and transformed everything into a cohesive vision that complemented our venue and theme. When we wanted to incorporate a bunch of unconventional elements into our wedding, Lindsey was supportive and flexible, and she worked hard to make sure they were pulled off successfully for us.

Finally – the weekend of our actual wedding – wow! As if Lindsey hadn’t already done so much for us, it was incredible to see her really shine in doing what she does best. At the rehearsal, she took some time to get to know our family and friends, and at times kept a rowdy wedding party in check, while simultaneously kept the rehearsal running efficiently. We remember Lindsey giving our friends/family advice and reminders on how to make our wedding day as easy as possible for us, and that meant a lot to us that she had our backs. On the day of the wedding, Lindsey and her team were very detailed and organized - they executed every detail flawlessly for us (or at least that’s how we remember it - which is all that really matters!). The most important thing is that we and all our guests had a blast.

Lindsey, we are forever grateful to you. Thank you for making our wedding so wonderful and epic!!

Relic Events is the BEST of the BEST!

There is NO question, we would work with Relic Events again and again and AGAIN. We hired Lindsey to do coordination for our destination wedding at Roaring Camp in Santa Cruz. She knows that venue and the local vendors like the back of her hand, so it made the process seamless even though we planned it from afar. She was a perfect fit for us: organized, informative, calm, kind, efficient - and beyond!

We hired Relic Events for month-of coordination ("the Oak package"). Because I have a long history in event planning, we knew we were going to do the bulk of the planning/vendor hiring ourselves (otherwise we would have hired her to do it ALL from beginning to end, no question); but her brilliant suggestions led us to some of our favorite local vendors, and her stepping in a month ahead of our date to coordinate all of the logistics, and help us tie up all of our loose ends made the transition from planning, to prepping, to the wedding weekend itself completely flawless.

Lindsey helped gently guide us through our self-planning, and took care of everything and MORE the month leading up to the wedding. We had zero stress during the planning process, and didn't have to worry about whether things were handled. Lindsey had it all completely taken care of and was always 10 steps ahead with her thinking. We truly can say we didn't feel overwhelmed once. Most importantly, the wedding day itself felt like a dream - we got to take our time, have fun, EAT, spend time just the two of us, and enjoy our intimate group of guests because Lindsey made sure everything was running as it should. She had our backs 100% and was so easy going while doing it.

Finally (although there is so much more that can be said), as a lesbian couple, we could not have found someone that we felt more safe and seen with. We instantly felt at-ease (especially after hearing wedding planning horror stories from other LGBTQ+ couples) from our very first email exchanges and introductory phone call. Lindsey was inclusive, but not overbearing or performative; encouraged the things we wanted to highlight that were "non-traditional" and helped us honor the traditions we wanted to uphold. She is someone who cares about others in the most authentic way possible.

Lindsey saw our vision from the start, and while she wasn't hired to help with the planning process, she still gave 100% from the beginning, always making herself available to answer questions, making vendor suggestions, collaborating on Pinterest boards, or just quick check-ins throughout the year before the more detailed meetings began ahead of the wedding day.

If you're getting married in the area (Santa Cruz, Carmel, Monterey, Grass Valley or Nevada City), do yourselves a favor and hire Relic Events. Your wedding day selves will thank you for it!

THANK YOU LINDSEY for making our dreams a reality :)

Highly recommend

Lindsey made our wedding flawless. The meetings leading up to the wedding ensured that nothing was forgotten and every detail was planned. Her expertise and connections were invaluable. She had not worked at our venue before so she did a walk through beforehand and reached out to her contacts for tips/tricks. She took care of all communication right before the wedding and I was able to focus on family and friends. She took care of any fires that popped up quickly and quietly and assured everything ran smoothly. Lindsey was a calming yet commanding presence throughout our entire wedding day. Her entire staff were friendly and got everything done efficiently. I am used to being in control and overseeing everything, but I was able to trust Lindsey to take over and I was able to just enjoy my wedding day. I would not hesitate to endorse her for your wedding or any other events.

Best wedding planner ever!

We had the pleasure of working with Lindsey from Relic Events for our wedding in October 2024 in the Grass Valley/Nevada City area, and we can't recommend her enough! We opted for her partial planning package, and out of all the vendors we worked with, her services were by far the best investment. As someone who doesn’t enjoy event planning and tends to get easily overwhelmed, Lindsey truly took the reins and alleviated so much of my stress.

My husband and I aren't particularly creative or design-oriented, but Lindsey helped us clarify our vision and brought it to life in a way we could have never imagined. Her experience is evident, and she has an incredibly organized approach that ensures nothing is overlooked. Beyond her professional expertise, she’s just a genuinely wonderful person, and we thoroughly enjoyed working with her.

On our wedding day, I was able to fully enjoy the moment without worrying about logistics. Our bridal party and families each commented on how amazing Lindsey was, especially in running the rehearsal and the day-of events. It honestly felt like we had a super organized and helpful friend managing everything!

If you're on the fence, trust me—hire her! You won’t regret it!

Relic were the real MVPs.

Lindsay and the Relic events team were pivotal to making our wedding a memorable success.

We brought a lot of ideas and logistical steps, and she helped us achieve so much of it with organization and great communication. She was very supportive and excited by our ideas, and transparent about what was realistic in our day. She also handled a freak emergency and pivot on the wedding day with calm and professionalism. Total rockstar, worth her weight in gold, we couldn’t have had the amazing day we had without her.

Book Lindsey!!!!

I am so grateful for Lindsey's presence in this process, she is truly a pleasure to work with! Lindsey is professional, kind, attuned, relaxed, skilled, and clearly very experienced! Wedding planning is not easy but working with Lindsey made it SO much easier, she helped ease my concerns, focus my energy where it needed focusing, and asked all the right questions. She knows what to focus on to make sure that the wedding comes together in a way that is a joyful event for all. Should you work with Lindsey, you will be in VERY good hands! You can tell she has a lot of experience and that helped me feel relaxed and taken care of in the process. From the initial consulting to the final wedding day, Lindsey was there, showing up humor, fun, focus, ease, and skill, which made the whole wedding planning and day of process enjoyable!

Lindsey is the Best in the Biz

Hiring Lindsey was the best decision we made out of the hundreds of decisions we made during wedding planning! My husband and I hired her as our partial planner for our June 2024 wedding. Originally I reached out looking for a day-of coordinator, but we ended up hired her as our partial planner due to our wedding being at a private residence and all of the logistics required at a non-traditional venue. From the very beginning, Lindsey helped recommend great vendors and worked directly with many of them throughout the whole planning process. During the wedding weekend, she worked with our 10 vendors on timing of drop-off, pick-up and setup across multiple days. She even went above and beyond and met our churro vendor at the venue while we were at our rehearsal dinner because she did not want him to disrupt the reception on the day-of. On the day of the wedding, I was not stressed or anxious on the day of thank you to Lindsey, as I trusted her completely with executing my vision and keeping everything on track. We had multiple people tell us that our wedding was the best wedding they had been to, and a big part of that was due to the setup and flow of the event managed by her. There were many things that she taught me or recommended that I would have never thought of doing. Lindsey did an amazing job beginnxaing to end, and the whole day went perfectly. She managed people, the timeline, and executed everything as I envisioned it, all while remaining collected, calm, and patient. You will not regret hiring Lindsey!!!
