Hi! I’m Lindsay.
I'm from a place that I always assumed nobody had ever heard of, but if you've ever come across a guy called Jude Bellingham then I'll explain it by saying he's from my home town!
I love this part of the world. We're just down the road from Birmingham and it really is an amazing city. If you disagree I'm going to have to assume you've never been. I worked there for a number of years and I love being so close to the action, but I also adore the fact that I'm right on the cusp of the gorgeous countryside too. We really do get the best of both worlds here! That all means it's a wonderful place to be when you're working in weddings - we have beautiful barns, tremendous tipis and awesome urban spaces all right on our doorstep.
I also really love to travel.
I studied French at university for 4 years and have dabbled in a handful of other languages along the way too. I visited 30 European capital cities before turning 30, and I’ve also backpacked Canada, Australia and New Zealand. More recently I've trekked the Great Wall of China and hiked through Jordan to Petra. I even lived abroad for a while. There is nothing I love more than being on the road, experiencing different cultures, and tasting the local delicacies.

Yes, food is a huge part of my life too!
Although I’m always on the go, I’m also adult-ing hard. In the last 10 years I've bought a house, had a career in corporate hospitality management and I have worked in various venues across the Midlands, from small family-run hotels to huge conference facilities holding national product launches for some of the biggest names in their industries. I was always based writing menus, creating new catering concepts and trying to get people interested in food! I was always best mates with the chef, and I'm still a massive foodie. I’ve worked on weddings, parties, dinners and events of all shapes and sizes and I'm so passionate about this crazy industry I work in.
The pandemic meant that I lost my job which was super scary at the time, but it gave me an amazing opportunity to pursue the thing I really want to do - work for myself and be a proper wedding planner! Now I'm able to use all of my expertise to help people plan their perfect day whatever they may be, from the most intimate to the extra elaborate.

Getting engaged is like opening the doors to a whole world you never knew existed - and I'm here to show you around! Using the contacts I've made and all the experience under my belt, I can guide you though the process so you don't have to go it alone.
I love hearing your ideas and working with you to make them a reality. I can show you venues, caterers, photographers... all based on what you say you want. Some people want me to get super hands on so there are options for me to plan the whole thing with you. Others prefer to do things their own way, but I'm always here for a chat over coffee or brunch to make sure things are on track. Whatever you need, I got you!
