Highland Avenue Events

arly knows exactly what she's doing. Highly recommended, especially if you need a calming presence. I didn't worry about a thing day-of.

epresenting 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!

he 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!

nts as the source of coordinating expertise for any event. Absolutely wonderful!

ent 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.

gistics 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 want 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!

y for her design and day-of coordinating services. For her design services she really helped me figure out what I wanted the themes and color schemes to be. Her mood board that she created for me helped me immensely when I was talking to vendors as it was much easier to just show them what I wanted, versus trying to describe it with my limited wedding vocabulary. Additionally, she provided a budget sheet that helped us breakdown the typical cost of all vendor services based on my priorities. These services and her expertise definitely helped the beginning process of vendor hunting as we opted to book all our vendors ourselves but had no idea where to start. Aside from her more concrete services, Lindsey was just an absolute joy to work with. She never made me feel like I was asking a dumb question and was always happy to weigh in with her expert advice when asked. This was so key for us as a couple, we always knew that she had our best interest in mind and knowing how much of an expert she was, we knew we could always trust her opinion. She was also very responsive through email and phone! This goes without saying, but the fact that Lindsey has done so many weddings made planning so much easier in general because she could see any potential pitfalls or bad decisions and give us really great advice as to how to course correct if needed. On the day of the wedding, everything went so smoothly! My husband and I received multiple comments from guests about how our wedding was the most well-run wedding they’d ever been to. Nothing was late and we were able to do everything we planned to do during our ceremony and reception. Lindsey was also a great point-person. She made sure all our vendors were on the same page, which was great because that meant no vendors were bothering my husband and I on the day of the wedding. Honestly, Highland Avenue is amazing at what they do and I highly recommend Lindsey and her team if you’re considering them for your next event or wedding!

ationships (for good reason), and she kept me and my fiancé well informed and on track with decision making from wedding pre-planning to reception clean up. I'm a worrier, and we didn't have a single concern the day of our wedding. It was pure magic in large part because of Lindsey's thoroughness, care and expertise.

we were planning from afar. Lindsey offered invaluable guidance on everything from vendors, to timeline, lighting, table settings, and more. She has en eye for details and design. She handled the final walkthrough at our venue. And perhaps MOST important, she's incredibly organized and prompt in her responses. She was quick to reply throughout the planning process, and on wedding weekend, she was always present, staying in touch, but also handling all the little details. Speaking of wedding day, Lindsey made sure everything went off without a hitch. We were able to relax and enjoy the day, as she handled vendor arrivals, set-up, and made sure the wedding party and guests knew where to be. At the reception, she directed the flow, getting parents for speeches, handing my husband and I champagne right before the toasts, making sure he and I were in place to cut the cake, even having the wedding party surround us for our first dance. She made the day perfect, and we TRULY could not have done it without her.

nd I just felt at ease because you could just tell she knew exactly what she was doing and she was going to be on top of every single thing going on. She answered emails very quickly and she was super helpful answering any and all questions. There were times I needed advice on what to do in certain situations and she was there for me and helped me navigate through the entire process. She made sure that my family heirlooms were well taken care of and that we got everything back at the end of the night. I highly recommend Lindsey to help with any wedding or event. If I wasn't a coordinator myself I would have hired her to plan the entire wedding because I know I would have been in the best hands!! She is amazing!

e intentional, comfortable way that Lindsey handled herself and her business. Her economy of words kept us moving forward and her ability to problem solve calmed any concerns. As the months passed, she continued to stay in touch...advising, informing and reassuring. Her gentle encouragement, thoughtful correspondence and can do attitude gave great peace of mind. When rain and cold weather put a temporary damper on the outdoor service, Lindsey quickly went to Plan B and to any outsider, Plan B appeared to be Plan A. She handled the transition effortlessly and without a hitch. The reception was handled superbly...timely, organized and with extremely smooth transitions. We are so grateful for having had the opportunity to meet and work with Lindsey! Deserving of 5 stars and more!!

, creative, listened to all of our ridiculous ideas and translated them into a beautiful cohesive event that was even more perfect than we could have ever dreamed of. We literally gave her "we want it to look like Lord of the Rings, Avatar, fairyland, mossy tropical island - but elegant not kitschy" and she didn't even hesitate to make that into a reality. She listened carefully to what we wanted and gave us suggestions on how to achieve the desired effect. She was with us through every step of the way, and it could not have been easier. She is calm, collected and beyond professional. We never felt overwhelmed or stressed in the process because she was on top of everything, and scheduled everything out so we never even had a chance to realize there was so much to do. We had a whopping 23 vendors at our event and it worked so seamlessly, that I was even shocked to find out we had that many! Most importantly though, she genuinely cares for you as a couple and for your vision, I feel like above all we made a wonderful friend throughout this process.

us from day one to find the perfect venue, outline our budget and how to spend our funds effectively, she came up with an out of this world design that captured our style and everything about us, and it all went off BEAUTIFULLY on the wedding day! I loved getting to know Lindsey and she made the whole process fun and easy--particularly for a bride who was crazy overwhelmed with no idea where to begin. There's really no need to look elsewhere, Highland Avenue is worth every single penny, particularly in an industry where you get what you pay for. We looked at a lot of vendors before booking, and while HAE isn't the cheapest option in town, I am confident they are the very best! I'm still beaming from our day and will be forever thanks to all the hard work and TLC she and her team put into our wedding. Thank you Highland Avenue and Lindsey for giving us the wedding we always dreamed of!

enue. Not only was she extremely professional, answered emails promptly, beyond knowledgeable about wedding planning and design, but she was such a pleasure to be around and to get to know throughout this process. Lindsey was always calm and had everything under control - especially on the big day. We cannot imagine the wedding planning process without her, because everyone knows how stressful it can be. If you're looking for a wedding planner, do yourself a favor and choose Lindsey! We know you will find huge relief and comfort in having her be a part of your special day.

moothly. We were so thankful to have Lindsey throughout the wedding process to ask questions and bounce ideas off of. Lindsey is very professional and a joy to work with.
