Lindsay was absolutely incredible as our day-of wedding coordinator. She came on about 30 days before our wedding and immediately became such a huge help with organizing our timeline, tying up loose ends, and making sure all the little details were accounted for. I consider myself a pretty Type B bride, and there were definitely plenty of things I missed along the way; Lindsay somehow filled in every crack seamlessly and made sure nothing fell through the cracks. She was calm, incredibly organized, and kept the entire day moving on schedule without ever making things feel rushed or stressful. She truly went above and beyond for us. She let us ship wedding decor to her house ahead of the wedding, picked up our wedding cake, and was always willing to jump in and handle whatever came up. She never said no to a request and somehow made even the little last-minute things feel completely manageable. Having Lindsay there allowed us to actually enjoy our wedding day instead of worrying about the logistics behind it. She took so much off our plate and made the entire day feel effortless. We are so grateful we had Lindsay and would recommend her to anyone planning a wedding!

Reno by design/Tahoe Blue Estate – The Perfect Wedding Planner and Venue We just had our wedding at Tahoe Blue Estate, and it was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, w...

e knew this was the perfect place—not just for our ceremony, but for an unforgettable weekend with our closest friends and family. The venue itself is stunning, offering breathtaking views and a luxurious yet cozy atmosphere. It was the perfect setting for both our wedding and a weekend getaway. We never wanted to leave—there was always something to do, from playing pool to relaxing in the sauna, enjoying the snow, or simply soaking in the incredible scenery. A huge part of what made our wedding so special was the incredible team of vendors who helped bring everything together. • Starky’s Pizza kept everyone happy and well-fed. • Emma, our photographer, was wonderful. She made every shot feel natural, fun, and effortless—capturing every important moment beautifully. • Sam’s wedding band provided the perfect live music for our ceremony, making it all the more special. • And most importantly, our planner, Lindsey, was truly the MVP of the day. She made our vision come to life, seamlessly coordinating every detail and vendor to create a wedding that was even better than we imagined. She was incredibly helpful, organized, and made sure everything flowed perfectly. If you’re considering Reno by design and Tahoe Blue Estate for your wedding or event, we highly recommend it! Just one small tip—consider hiring a team for setup and cleanup. We did it with our family, and while it was quick and easy, it definitely would have been worth spending a little extra to sit back and fully enjoy every moment. Thank you to everyone who made our wedding here so unforgettable—we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Hiring Lindsay with Reno by Design as our day-of coordinator was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process! In the beginning she came out to our venue ...

site for a walkthrough. Since we were getting married on private property rather than a traditional wedding venue there were a lot of moving pieces and vendors I had hired, which she worked so well with keeping track of and placing everything perfectly the morning of our wedding . Lindsay was incredibly helpful from the start, providing me with vendor recommendations and she was a massive help when it came to coordinating and setting up our florals because I waited so long to do so, they turned out beautiful! The portal she included was also great and made it easy for me to keep track of vendor information, payments, due dates, and communication throughout the planning process. As the wedding got closer she reached out to all of our vendors to confirm details and make sure everything was ready to go. She was fantastic during our rehearsal, making sure everyone knew what to expect and helping everything run smoothly. She also worked with me on the timeline and kept everything on track behind the scenes. The best part was that on our wedding day, I never had to worry about what was happening in the background. I was able to fully enjoy every moment because I knew Lindsay had everything under control. She kept everyone organized, on schedule, and exactly where they needed to be. Honestly, the only thing I would have changed is hiring Lindsay for more than just our day-of coordinator because she was that wonderful to work with. We highly recommend her to any couple looking for a wedding planner. She played a huge role in making our wedding day everything we hoped it would be!

Lindsay was the first person I connected with on The Knot & we truly couldn’t have landed any luckier! Our vision couldn’t have come to light without her. From the start, Lindsay ...

was incredibly responsive, organized, and professional—not to mention just a genuinely wonderful person. Planning a destination wedding can be daunting, but Lindsay made it feel effortless. By the time we met in person, it felt like I had already known her. Her vendor referrals were spot-on, and her local recommendations for food, lodging, and activities were exactly what we needed. Every vendor she suggested was a perfect fit for our day. Lindsay went above and beyond in every way—from picking up and dropping off our cake, flowers, and suits, to literally pouring pistachios into my hand when she noticed I hadn’t eaten - wedding day feels. She made it her mission to ensure I was cared for and that our day was absolutely perfect. I would refer Lindsay a million times over. Look no further, this is your sign - Lindsay is your girl!!!

her than stressed. She was incredibly responsive and always made me feel supported—never once making me feel like a burden, no matter how many questions I had. Lindsay put together our absolute dream vendor team and made everything feel effortless. On the day of the wedding, she and her team worked their butts off to bring my vision to life—and they nailed it. Everything came together more beautifully than I could have ever imagined. It was truly the perfect day, and I can say with complete confidence that it would not have happened without Lindsay. I am so grateful to her and highly recommend her to anyone planning their big day!

Reno by Design was such a pleasure to work with. We chose Lindsay to be our planner because she knew our venue very well, she was a great communicator, and she provided great refer...

ences for other vendors in the area. We were planning the wedding from Florida, and she took the time to get on multiple Zoom calls with us, checked in regularly to see what questions we might have, and provided a ton of planning resources, docs, and websites to ease the process. She went above and beyond with helping to pick up the rentals and cake, she helped manage our music transitions, and she made our reception design come to life in such a beautiful way. I really appreciated how calm and organized she was and she kept everyone on time throughout the entire day. I don’t know how we could have done it without her – I can’t recommend her enough!

s I am a Type-A personality girlie who loves details and having control of everything. First impressions: From the moment I met Lindsay, I could tell she is organized, has great attention to detail, and thinks very practically & logistically. She has amazing energy & is very kind, genuine and honest. Working relationship: She always responded within a very appropriate amount of time (sometimes crazy fast!) and her communication is top tier. She didn’t waste time or money throughout the planning process. She was always quick to handle any unforeseen circumstance or detail that popped up. She was available for calls and meetings when necessary. Additionally, she was full of calming reassurance every time I tried to spiral about something! At the same time, she was my hype person with my wild ideas that were within reason. She steered me towards a productive direction and hustled to make things happen. To bluntly state it: Lindsay delivered every step of the way. Rehearsal & Wedding Day: Because of Lindsay’s organization skills, our rehearsal flowed so smoothly! I’ve been a bridesmaid in several weddings where coordination during this time lacked communication, clarity, and direction, but this was not the case with Lindsay. She showed up with directions and executed everything we planned. My entire wedding party complimented her on how easy it was to follow her directions. Finally, our entire wedding day was absolutely stress-free and a dream come true. My now husband and I agree that it was even better than we could have imagined. Lindsay handled many background items I wasn’t even aware of until after wedding day. She exceeded my expectations on her execution of all the items and tasks we had agreed upon. She went above and beyond on so many levels. She is simply the BEST, and choosing Lindsay would not be a mistake for your big day. We can't thank her enough.

ent we could have made. She kept the wedding day running so smoothly and kept the timeline on track. She not only was a planner but became a friend. Her bubbly personality was felt by all of our family. We love her and her fiancé, Manuel! You won’t regret your decision with Lindsay.
