Maria Lindsay helped plan and coordinate our wedding in Huntington Beach, California in February 2022, and she did an outstanding job. There's simply no way that we'd have been able to identify, select, contract, and coordinate with all of the vendors without her support. She kept us rigorously on track with detailed recommendations, timelines, item sheets, and task lists. She advised us on just about every aspect of the wedding itself, preparing and coordinating the pre-ceremony setup, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception.

Her full team was absolutely critical on the wedding day, and having Maria Lindsay running the show behind the scenes let us truly enjoy one of the most important days of our lives. Our wedding had the added complication that we insisted that our furry child be a part of just about everything, and she handled that with grace. We couldn't thank you enough Maria Lindsay. Thank you for being a big part of our special day.

Maria was wonderful to work with! I never imagined it would be possible to have a stress-free wedding process but she made it happen. I was living in Austin, Texas while my husband was in Berkeley, California and our wedding was in Huntington Beach, California. The whole setup was just asking for drama and stress but Maria took care of everything while making us feel like we were all in the same place and more importantly on the same page.

She talked to us thoroughly about everything we wanted our wedding to be, what our budget was and set us up with amazing vendors who exceeded our expectations. She kept us updated with everything on her end as well as made sure we were getting our personal tasks done. We had the most beautiful wedding and it would not have been possible without Maria. Thank you so much for everything that you have done for us! Abdelrahman & Noor

I found Maria through our venue's recommendation - Casa Romantica. I wanted someone who knew the venue well and had good connections to vendors. Maria was awesome to work with. She always made herself available to me and all my crazy requests! Her vendor recommendations were spot on and she always made sure they were within budget. The day of the wedding, Maria was great! We didn't have to worry about anything, and if anything did come up she took care of it. I had a very specific idea of what I wanted for my wedding (like many brides) and Maria made it happen. I would highly recommend her for your dream wedding!

Maria made all my wedding dreams come true! She was amazing to work with from day one! I wanted to get married on Laguna Beach but I live in Utah. Maria made it such a easy and stress free process to do even with being in a different state. She would send me pictures and videos of the halls, beach and catering options. She explained everything we needed to do, when we needed to do it by, and what she was currently working on. She has great vendors that were easy to work with as well! Highly recommended if you want your dream wedding with no stress!
