Lovely Day Events
Our couples often describe themselves as people who love planning and hosting—in other words, people who aren’t sure they need a wedding planner.
But when it comes to your wedding, there aren’t any do-overs or “when we do this next year.” And while selecting the dinner menu sounds fun, the last thing you want on your wedding weekend is to stress over the little details.
They turn to Lovely Day Events to help them host the wine country wedding of their dreams and actually enjoy it, from the first planning meeting to the last moments on the dance floor.
Spoiler alert: Even if you love planning you still want help

Lindsey was a joy to work with.
“As someone who is naturally a planner, it was still so useful to have Lindsey's knowledge and expertise. Lindsey helped us fine-tune our vision and made wonderful recommendations that fit us. Her strong relationships with amazing vendors were super helpful.” - Taylor H., Beltane Ranch wedding

Lindsey was absolutely lovely to work with.
“She is organized, professional, and has great relationships with so many local vendors, which made sourcing the best talent effortless. She took time to really get to know my partner and me, so our day was tailored to our personalities and aesthetics. I can see why our venue recommended working with Lindsey.” - Kylee J.
