Relic Events

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!!

Oh my goodness. If we could give Relic Events 10,000 stars, we would. We hired Lindsey to do month-of coordination for our destination wedding at Roaring Camp in Santa Cruz (we are from Southern California), and she couldn't have been a more perfect fit. Organized, informative, calm, kind and efficient are just the first words that come to mind; but there aren't enough words to capture how smoothly our wedding planning process and wedding day went because of her. We did the bulk of the planning/vendor hiring ourselves (*only* because I have a long history in event planning, otherwise we would have hired her to do it ALL from beginning to end); 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 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 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. Lastly (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 introductory phone call with her. 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. Lindsey really saw our vision from the start. While we didn't hire her to do the planning portion, she was still involved from the beginning - whether it was an early phone call to get us started on the right foot with planning, sharing and adding to Pinterest boards, or just quick check ins throughout the year until our more detailed meetings began in the weeks leading up to the wedding. If you're getting married in the area (Santa Cruz, Carmel, Monterey, Grass Valley or Nevada City), don't even think twice. Your wedding day selves will thank you for it! THANK YOU RELIC EVENTS! You made our dreams come true :)

We partnered with Lindsey of Relic Events for our wedding in October 2024 in the Grass Valley/Nevada City area and could not recommend her enough!! We chose her partial planning package and of all the vendors we hired for our wedding her services were by far the best investment. I am not someone who enjoys planning events and can quickly get overwhelmed and Lindsey made me feel like everything was handled and cut down my stress so much. My husband and I are not particularly creative/decor minded individuals and Lindsey helped us find our vision and really brought it to life. Lindsey is clearly very experienced and has an organized plan of attack to make sure nothing is missed. She is also just an all around quality person and I really enjoyed getting to work with her. On our wedding day I felt like I was able to just enjoy it all and wasn't stressed about logistics at all!! Our bridal party and families all separately commented on how awesome Lindsey is and how well she ran the rehearsal and day of festivities. It really did feel like we just had a super organized and helpful friend in charge of our wedding :) Seriously, hire her! You will not regret it!! - Sarah and Geoff
