I did not want to get a wedding planner because I know exactly what I want...and if it isn't what I want...then you know someone will get in trouble. I am glad that my husband (then fiancée) convinced me to hire one. We interviewed 3 planners but I knew before I met Erin that I wanted her to be my planner. Her website and portfolio embodies the type of wedding I wanted to throw and her knowledge and taste of what I needed was what I was looking for. Erin was instrumental to making everything leading up to our wedding perfect, especially for THE Day Of. I have heard that no wedding is perfect, but despite the rocky start we had with our makeup artist (she was an hour late with no warning), our ceremony and reception WERE perfect. Erin gave great advice, made my life easier, and went above and beyond on the day of. She and her assistants were FANTASTIC in making sure everything was perfect for the most important day of our lives (so far). We can easily see that her expertise wedding coordination and she's the best planner we have come across (have worked with other planners for friends' weddings and they were a bit disorganized the day of). Everything was well orchestrated and when things hit a snag or we were running an hour late, she improvised and the guests didn't notice a thing. We really appreciate all of her assistance from helping me bring my vision to life with your experience, idea for something different on the invite - the wax seal, bringing in the window panes, setting up the centerpieces, placing the name cards in the sand trays to contacting the vendors when we were running late, helping us stay on time as much as possible, and being so positive the entire night. My guests noticed her as the "woman running around gathering everything" but in the background, not distracting from the wedding itself. Her and her team worked tirelessly on the day of, and were constantly smiling and happy to be there and pull everything off. Because we were an hour late in arriving to the ceremony venue (again, makeup artist's fault) - we missed what the ceremony looked like before guests were seated and we were walking down the aisle. However, Erin was SO thoughtful, taking a photo of it before anyone got there and stepped on the runner with the petals, so that we could get a sneak peek. We also had no idea what to expect for the decor in reception hall and were taken by surprise when we made our grand entrance. I had communicated how I wanted to alternate flower centerpieces and beach lantern centerpieces, but didn't have time to give her specifics. Erin and her staff took initiative in alternating the decor for the tables wonderfully. It was breathtaking. And I forgot to bring candles, but somehow she managed to get them and add that much more to the centerpiece look. I was really impressed by how Erin took everything in stride and didn't pepper me with small detail questions to make sure we didn't stress out. Erin's work for the day of really brought to life what I described and so much more. I can't even begin to express how wonderful I felt when I walked into the aquarium. Her positive can-do attitude and support was really encouraging, especially when I was upset by the makeup artist's unprofessional demeanor. (see my review about her shortly) Many of my friends commented on how calm I was a month before the big day. Having Erin as our planner was the reason why. Although I did get a bit stressed 2 days before the wedding (who wouldn't?) because there was a lot to do, it was reassuring to know that she was available and offering to help with anything left over after the rehearsal. However, I would recommend all brides to lean on their friends during this time as they are willing to help. Her recommendation for the florist was spot on. She did a beautiful job. I was stunned by the beauty of the arbor, the gold orchids that popped and her attention to detail. She was so accommodating in every meeting and email exchange we had with her, and delivered gorgeous bouquets, boutonniere, and corsages beyond my expectations. Most importantly, she made the last minute addition of having aisle flowers unique. I am definitely recommending that my friends use a planner, and if they do, they should no doubt work with Erin. I don't give compliments without meaning it, and my friends know that when I give endorsements or recommendations, I am strongly convicted in my opinions. I firmly believe in her abilities to pull off ANY wedding, no matter how complex, or how demanding the bride may get. I also believe that she always want what's best for the couple and is truly passionate about her work. Erin continued to amaze me, helping us find the right decor for our big day to making everything perfect for when we showed up. We had the most amazing wedding we have both been to and a lot of our guests also told us the same. It would not have been possible without Erin and her team! read more

If you are reading this, you are probably in the market for a wedding planner. Search no more.....Erin is the best!!! She was the best investment to our wedding. She found the perfect location for us after speaking with us for a whopping 30 minutes. On the day of, I didn't have a single worry in the world. She was extremely organized, happy, very knowledgeable and all around awesome! I can't stress enough how great she was. The months leading up to it, she kept us in line and all our other vendors appreciated her. She was worth every penny. PS. we hired her as for floral/decor and I would highly suggest that as well! PS x2 - too bad there isn't a 6 star system.....she'd get that! read more

Erin made my wedding day the funnest and least stressful day of our lives! She kept me calm and made the day flawless for me. Her services were PRICELESS to me and well worth every affordable penny! I highly recommend her, I didn't have to lift a finger or make any decisions about the little things during the day. Erin made the room flip in the same venue for 135 people seem like a breeze. All I had to do was sip champagne and talk to our friends and family as well as a little dancing to soak in every moment. Erin was very organized and had all my stuff/goodies in our car at the end of the night..like magic!! I said my goodbyes and floated away like a princess. Erin made it all possible! :) thanks again for making my day fabulous! We appreciate you!! Angela and Cory read more

We started working with Erin in January of 2014 for our wedding in May of 2015 in Paris. We met her at the Seattle Wedding Expo and thought she was the perfect choice for us. And we were right on so many levels! Erin started by scouting several locations in the city and personally going there to check out food, decor, quality of service, and ease of finding a hotel nearby for our guests. Once we made our selection she handled all contract and communication between us and the hotel, sending us weekly updates of all the outstanding items we needed to decide on and the upcoming deadlines. Erin prepared a variety of checklists, guides, and "inspiration" boards to help us with all of the ceremony and reception design, as well as photos. Finally, in the week leading up to the wedding, she helped organize guest itineraries and hotel arrangements for those in our party who were not as comfortable or familiar with Paris to do all of it independently; took care of all final vendor logistics; and kept everyone more or less on schedule. A couple of things I want to highlight that we really liked about Erin: - She was very clear about the quality and variety of services we would get within specific budget ranges for each type of vendor, and once we selected our budget range she helped us get the most out of each vendor. - She was able to take our general directions about colors, flowers, and ceremony and handle all of the specific details with each vendor, coming back to us only when we needed to make final decisions that we didn't cover earlier. - We moved 9 months after we started working together. In that time we weren't able to correspond as much but she kept everything on schedule and we were able to pick up without any problems after the move. Our day was perfect--not a single issue, and it was exactly as we imagined. read more

My wife and I went with Lindeman after giving up on another wedding planner. Erin (the owner) is great at listening to you to find out what you want for your ideal wedding. One of the first tasks she helps you with is venue selection by taking you to the venues in the area that match what you are looking for. She ended up saving us quite a bit of money by leveraging wedding planner's discounts with other businesses. She works well with other vendors, even if they are not her preferred vendor. Day of coordination went great, allowing us to focus on having a memorable wedding, not stressing about everything that needed to make it happen. read more

I can't say enough about the outstanding planning and execution that Erin did for our corporate event. I was amazed at the amount of detail that was required to pull off a successful event like this and she made it happen with ease and professionalism. Her ability to be available at all times to make sure that key elements of the evening was very well appreciated by our team. I wa also impressed with her connections with local vendors and support teams helped us pull off one of the most successful corporate events ever. We received multiple comments of how elegant and enjoyable the evening was. We will absolutely utilize Erin and her staff in the near future. read more

My husband and I decided to hire Erin after a rave review from none other than the former editor of Seattle Bride Magazine. She lived up to our expectations and more! Erin was such a pleasure to work with, such a great listener and really got to know us, and what we loved. The result was our dream wedding, and it was flawless. We could not have done it without her. I really don't know why anyone would plan a wedding without a planner, more importantly without Erin and her team, especially if you're on a budget! They saved us so much money, time and headaches, and gave us ideas and resources we would never have imagined. She paid for herself with the savings she negotiated for us! It's a no-brainer! I can't stop gushing over how much I loved our wedding and it's all because of Erin. It was a perfect representation of Paul and myself. Thanks Erin!!! read more

Erin rocks. I don't actually know how she does it all, because I know she has a million things going on. She was so amazing in helping to put together our wedding. We originally hired her for day-of planning only, but then later decided to have her do all of the decor and floral for us as well - GREAT decision. The details turned out absolutely amazing and she helped to keep us on budget as well. If I ever plan another event Erin is the first person I would go to for help with decor and arrangements. read more

Erin planned our wedding on 8/26/10 and I can't say enough good things about her! We could have never pulled it off without her help and, especially, her positive attitude and calming presence. Everything went off without a hitch, the decor she put together was stunning and resourceful, her ideas were chic and clever, and on the big day she remembered to do all things we forgot about. Now that I'm married, I have no idea how anyone does it without a planner--especially a day-of-wedding planner. Erin's ideas and insider knowledge were indispensable. Recommended! read more

My wedding could not have been more perfect, thanks to Erin at Lindeman Weddings. I got married in June at Suncadia Resort in Roslyn, Washington. Erin had not done a wedding there before but you wouldn't have known that! From the initial meeting to the day after my wedding, everything turned out beautiful. I met with Erin 3 times prior to my wedding and exchanged several emails as well and she never forgot a detail and never had to ask me twice about anything. In addition, her calm demeanor was so helpful prior to and during the event. I was originally going to plan the wedding myself but am so glad I hired Erin and her team to do it for me. There is so much more that goes into planning a wedding that I couldn't have done it without Erin. read more

One of the best decisions I made during the whole wedding process was hiring a wedding planner. I knew I had to have some help since the large guest list was already overwhelming and my fiancee travels for work, months at a time. I looked at some event planners locally, in eastern WA, and I just wasn't finding the perfect planner for me. I came across Erin's website and loved her work and thought I'd give her a call, even though she's based out of Kirkland. Erin was SO easy to get along with and we clicked right from the beginning. She knew exactly what my vision was even when I'm sure I wasn't explaining it very well, haha. She gave me a custom package, a mix of her level 1 and level 2 because I wanted her help for the day of the wedding as well as help designing the whole day. Being 3 hours away didn't make a difference at all with her level of service! She had amazing design recommendations, helped contact vendors, and was great on offering ideas to save money! I wanted my wedding to be unique and she was great in achieving that. Erin made my life SO easy and I couldn't imaging doing all of that work for a 400 person+ wedding by myself! People approached me the week before and day of the wedding and said that I didn't look stressed at all...I wasn't! I knew everything would turn out perfect and stress free because I had Erin. I enjoyed every second of our day:) I have attended weddings since then that did not have a wedding coordinator and I just thought to my self, "I am so thankful that I had Erin!" Months after, we are still receiving so many compliments on our wedding and I know it wouldn't have gone as smoothly or beautifully without Erin and her team's help. Hiring Lindeman Weddings & Events is a great investment and you wont regret it! :) read more
