Let me just start with one word: WOW!!! Ok, now I'll use a lot more words: Lindsey was PERFECTION from start to finish. Our original wedding plan was cancelled due to COVID, but we decided to go ahead and get married down in Miami instead of up in New York at my parents house because we just really couldn't wait! Unfortunately, none of my family were able to attend and so it was important that we had a really well-run and organized Zoom wedding for them to enjoy. I started feeling anxious about being able to run the Zoom myself about a week before the wedding. I searched for "Zoom coordinators" on Google and found Lindsey. LITERALLY A GODSEND. She answered almost IMMEDIATELY with a lovely personalized message and positive energy that I knew I needed for this wedding, and we booked her pretty much on the spot. She even agreed to help with the wedding despite it being her husband's 40th birthday celebration weekend (she had family visiting as well!!). Now, when I say that Lindsey was PERFECTION from start to finish I mean that she had literally only a WEEK to prepare and get everything set for us (including a lovely slideshow, guest invitation emails and instructions, TWO meetings with us to prepare the Zoom logistics alongside with my mother-in-law and videographers) and, yet, she was still able to prepare and execute everything so perfectly you would think she had a YEAR to prepare. Everyone loved Lindsey. She was amazing with coordinating the other vendors and the on-site planner, keeping the Zoom wedding perfectly on schedule, moving along with no awkward moments, and making sure everyone knew when they had to mute/unmute themselves for speeches, etc. If Lindsey was this amazing with a Zoom COVID wedding that she only had a week to prepare for, I honestly can't even imagine how truly spectacular she would be as a full-on virtual planner, let alone an IN-PERSON wedding planner. I mean, WOW. OK, if you've made it this far in the review, I think you know what you have to do....BOOK HER!!! Lindsey was SO instrumental in planning our wedding day and making it the dream wedding I ultimately didn't even knew I wanted! We will forever be grateful to the team that enabled us to pull off the perfect wedding and especially to Lindsey, who single-handedly enabled our families to take part in this special once-in-a-lifetime experience as if they were there with us. I will note that we looked at Wedfully as a virtual planner/Zoom coordinator service and they were just...not good. I had to reach out to them at least four times to even get a response and was hounding them (admittedly) to give me a confirmation of whether they could do the wedding or not (I had already paid them $800+ and they were taking over 24 hours to answer me at a time). That's when I had the thought to look for someone else and Lindsey came into my space and I never looked back! If you are considering another service, go with Lindsey. She's the best. 100% no contest. It's not worth taking the chance on a day you want to remember forever. So, in conclusion, I want to thank Lindsey again for helping us plan and execute the wedding of our dreams, and for being such a lovely human throughout the entire process as well! She is out of this world. :) read more

I am still on cloud nine from my wedding last weekend and I owe so much of that to Lindsey at COLLECTIVE/by Sachs. Not only does Lindsey have the kindest, most genuine soul but she is truly amazing at what she does. From day one, I felt an instant connection with her and knew we would make a great team. Lindsey is driven, creative, detail oriented, professional, trustworthy, organized, and gave me endless advice and support throughout the entire process. She provided us with numerous documents that not only kept us on track and organized, but allowed for a seamless process all around. Lindsey is literally everything you want in a coordinator. My only regret is that we didn't have her as a full time coordinator! I knew that Lindsey understood my vision from the beginning, but she literally brought it to life. It was everything I could have imagined and more. It bought tears to my eyes when she walked me in to see it all for the first time. The best part though, was that Lindsey was genuinely just as excited as I was. I put my complete trust in her and she blew away all expectations. As our day of coordinator, Lindsey took care of everything from vendor communication, schedule, timeline management, to set up/take down and everything in between. As far as I am aware, our wedding was flawless. If there were any sort of problems, I had no idea because Lindsey handled everything. This allowed my husband and I to be fully present and to enjoy every, single moment. No stress and no distractions. I got numerous compliments about how incredible Lindsey was. My married friends wished they had her for their wedding and my single friends want to get married just so they can work with her! My guests told me "she was behind the scenes yet always where you needed her to be." For instance, it started to rain a few minutes before our ceremony, and just as I was thinking about umbrellas I saw her already passing them out to guests. Our bridal party commented that Lindsey "had the most calming demeanor and was an absolute joy to be around." Every vendor we had loved working with Lindsey, and so did we! Thank you Lindsey, for giving us peace of mind, the opportunity to take in every moment of our day, and for the smile I still can't get off my face! read more

Where do I even begin! Lindsey with COLLECTIVE/by Sachs is absolutely phenomenal! Let me first just start off by saying I can honestly say I have never written a single review in my entire life, but I am someone that relies on reading others reviews to aid in my own decisioning making ;) We had the pleasure of working with Lindsey for almost a year and a half due to rescheduling of our special day because of the ever so lovely pandemic. My husband and I both work in healthcare and have very demanding and sporadic schedules. Lindsey worked tirelessly on every single aspect of our wedding. She was incredibly accommodating to work around times that were convenient for us to hop on a call, zoom or do in person meetings. She also handled all of my mood swings and indecisiveness with all the stress I had going on in my life during the time we were planning our wedding. Throughout our time with Lindsey, we also happened to move across the country. She reassured us everything would still continue to run smoothly with the planning and that she would take on the extra meetings that we would not be able to attend--and let me tell you, she did that and more! We decided to purchase the full service planning and that was the best decision we ever could have made! From every little set back in our planning process, to my type A personality and need for everything to be perfect, she handled it with grace and professionalism! At one of our final meetings when I decided I wanted to completely change some of the colors and chairs, she made it happen! She even offered to do the physical work herself, stacking chairs to save us thousands of dollars. This woman is God's gift to wedding planning! If you are looking for a wedding planner who is kind, thoughtful, incredibly patient and will allow you to enjoy your special day without a worry in the world, look no further. I wish we could thank Lindsey in more ways than a review and a tip because she made my wedding dreams come true! read more

Collective by Sachs was recommended to my fiance and I early in our wedding planning process. Another bride getting married at our venue had told us about Lindsey, and I was intrigued. A "day of coordinator" was something I had no idea I needed when we started planning; I'm super organized and felt like I had plenty of time, ideas, and helpful friends and family to help me pull off our vision. You know they say you don't know what you don't know... and what I didn't know then was how much we NEEDED Lindsey in our lives!! My Day Of Coordinator was one of the only things I was diligent about interviewing for - I chose three or four of the top rated outfits in town, and started the process. I knew from the first phone call I had with Lindsey that she was the one. One of the Collective by Sachs buzz words is "authentic" - you'll hear this word a lot in Lindsey's marketing and communication - and there's a good reason why. It's because this word sums up Collective by Sachs. Lindsey is truly an authentic person and she takes that authenticity and applies it to EVERY SINGLE THING she does. I had a vision for our wedding, but there is NO WAY I could've pulled it off without Lindsey's ideas, thoughtful advise, organization, and execution. I gained so much from our experience with her - and she made the entire process sooo breezy leading up to the wedding, and on the day of. Not a single thing went wrong on our wedding day, and I'm pretty sure we owe most of that to Lindsey!! Her services FAR EXCEEDED the competition, and hiring her for the "day of" actually turned out to be SOO much more. One of the best wedding planning decisions we made, by far!! read more

Hiring Lindsey as our day of coordinator was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I ADORE Lindsey. We had our wedding in my parents backyard, which required more planning and logistics than a traditional venue. She helped us design the layout, which included figuring out how many people could physically fit in the yard for the reception. I did all the booking of vendors, but Lindsey helped coordinate them all the month before the wedding and the day of. Having her joyful spirit with us through our 10 month engagement was a huge blessing. She made everything so easy and fun. Many people asked me how I was so calm on our wedding day, (I'm super type A, high stress, want to be in charge, type of person, so this was a fair question) and I really wasn't sure why I was so calm, other than I knew Lindsey had everything under control and there was nothing I needed to worry about, other than enjoying my day. And that is exactly what I was able to do. To say that my wedding was the best day ever, is an understatement. I can say with full confidence that without Lindsey, it would not have gone as smoothly as it did. She listens so intently, gives great advice and has a ton of experience, all of which she brings to you with so much love and attention. You can tell she genuinely loves her job. If you have a nontraditional venue, or are looking for someone to make sure that you can have the least stressful (and BEST) day ever, look no further than Lindsey. You will not be disappointed. read more

Lindsey was a dream to work with! I found her from one of my bridal facebook groups when I was transitioning from a 150 person wedding to an intimate 16 person wedding including a Zoom portion. Lindsey was fantastic at working with me and my wedding planner, Tosca Clark of Tosca Productions to help us realize my dream of incorporating as many wedding traditions, such as the first dance, toasts (virtual and in-person), the ketubah signing and my father's video blessing as we could for the Zoom wedding. Lindsey managed over 130 Zoom attendees from 5 countries, including Colombia, Sweden, England, Canada, and the US. Lindsey provided narration to explain Jewish wedding traditions, included songs we loved as introductory slideshows played, and created a seamless virtual event. I loved all the details and ideas Lindsey had--we emailed out a program including the processional, we had thank you slides for our vendors and family. My favorite part of the Zoom wedding was the breakout rooms--we had 8 rooms of 20 people! It really felt like a real wedding, having Sam and me "jump" from room to room to interact with our guests. Lindsey provided our guests with an interactive experience that so many later commented on. I am so glad I found Lindsey. Her detailed timeline, Zoom rehearsals, and availability over email made me confident that we would pull off a wedding to remember--and we did! Thank you Lindsey for making our dreams come true! read more

We hired Lindsey as our Day of Coordinator in late 2019 for our 10/17/20 wedding. From our initial conversations, it was clear she was not only extremely organized but extremely invested in all of her couples. She really cares, and it shows! Lindsey used Google docs to keep all the planning details organized for us. Even though she was working as our day of coordinator, she helped us throughout the process giving us referrals, reviewing contracts, ect. This made the whole process so much easier for us! When we decided to change our plans in July due to COVID, Lindsey seamlessly pivoted with us. She helped us think through the details of our new backyard wedding plans. Having a wedding at your house involves a LOT of logistics, and Lindsey was so wonderful helping us to identify what we needed, how to run the day smoothly and the overall timeline. On top of this, she was incredibly supportive - exactly what any bride planning a wedding in 2020 needs! On the day of the wedding, Lindsey did an amazing job helping to run the event smoothly. She perfectly set up and ran the day (even working as our "DJ" changing the music for big moments), allowing us to focus on being in the moment and spending time with our friends and family. This was so important to us, and with Lindsey's help and organization we were able to have an amazing wedding day! We will be using Lindsey again next year for our larger reception! read more

We were so pleased to work with Lindsey and Chris over seven months to design our very special wedding in Boulder. We live in Indonesia and were able to work effectively with them all the way from Jakarta! They expertly guided us in planning a distinctive Colorado-Indonesian fusion wedding. The overall design reflected our individual personalities and preferences and we received such compliments on the event from our dear family and friends - with them saying what a special day it was for them as well! Lindsey completely supported us in this destination wedding back to my original hometown and her energy, focus, organization, and communication skills really made our special day come alive. She has a gifted mind for both overall design and small but meaningful details. Chris did an incredible job as our Officiant, helping us design our own inter-faith ceremony that really captured what we wanted to say to one another. He delivered it with characteristic energy, warmth, and charisma so we felt completely in-the-moment and our guests felt they were witnessing something very authentic and moving. We were extremely pleased to have worked with them and would recommend them highly to anyone hearing the call of wedding bells! read more

There are not enough words to describe how integral Lindsey was with my wedding! I wasn't initially going to have a coordinator or use anyone, but after getting a few things done - I thought a day-of-coordinator may be of benefit. I hit the jackpot with Lindsey! I was wanting a destination wedding in Aspen (I live in Texas). From our initial correspondence, there was nothing but awesomeness. Lindsey was very responsive and timely in those responses (this was the entire 9 months of back and forth mind you as well as initially!). We sent several emails back and forth and then set up a phone conversation, it was like talking to an old friend. She had such an amazing demeanor and was so warm and caring as she was speaking in regards to how to make my day the perfect day. She asked questions I hadn't even think to inquire about or think of for the wedding. We set up a chance to meet at venue and go over details. Closer to time of wedding, she reached out to my vendors to introduce herself and just be sure everyone was on the same page. The day of the wedding wouldn't have been the same without her. Everything ran smoothly and with no issue. Do yourself a favor and say yes to COLLECTIVE, you will be so glad you did! read more

Lindsey is the absolute best! We are a lesbian couple and when we were looking for a wedding planner, we received proposals that were not gender-inclusive and used incorrect terminology, such as "Bride and Groom". Lindsey's proposal was specific to us and inclusive. It represented who we are and we immediately felt seen and accepted. Working with Lindsey was a wonderful experience. She spent time getting to know us as a couple and made herself available for all of our pre-wedding concerns, thoughts, and questions. She is highly organized and provides super detailed spreadsheets that helped tremendously with the planning process, such as a budget spreadsheet, decor spreadsheet and so much more! On the day of our wedding, we had complete trust that she would handle the details so we could enjoy the moments and be fully present. She did a phenomenal job and handled everything. We felt that Lindsey was a part of our family and are so grateful we had her as a planner! We highly recommend her. She is kind, compassionate, professional, efficient, calm and really good at what she does! read more

Wow! I do not know how I would have gotten through wedding planning without Lindsey. A wedding brings on many firsts with so many unknowns. Lindsey established a trusting relationship from the start and brought so much excitement and sound advice throughout the entire process. I could trust that the additional vendors she recommended were top notch and that if I asked for her opinion she had not only an answer but a reason why she thought that way. Her experience and professionalism completely shown through! She even captured one of my favorite photos of the wedding because she knew it would be special to me and my husband. Being a fellow organizational nerd, I also was so impressed with her large planning book and continual queues to let me know what I should be doing and thinking about at each stage in the process. THANK YOU LINDSEY!! WE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU!! read more

My now husband and I are so grateful for Lindsay's organizational masterpiece. Her help was essential at our wedding. For our venue, we didn't even realize how much logistical planning was needed for the event until meeting multiple times with Lindsay in person and on the phone. Her e-documents helped us stay organized and set goals. Her guidance on our big day allowed the day to flow without worry. Our guests commented on the smooth flow of things. Her calm demeanor and proactive problem solving allowed us to truly just experience the joy of the day. Her help and collaboration after the wedding went above and beyond expectation. We'd highly recommend Lindsay for your wedding coordination and more! read more
