“We didn’t think we needed any additional help because our venue had an event planner and coordinator. But we quickly learned that we absolutely needed Lindsey. She identified small details that we hadn’t even considered, and she was very sensitive to the bigger issues that were important to us and carried significant emotional weight for our family.” - Erin

About Lindsey Nickel

Originally from the East Bay, Lindsey is a celebration of life planner based in Napa focused on the personal details that create once-in-a-lifetime events.

The idea of an event planner for celebrations of life, funerals, and memorials first popped into my mind when my grandparents passed in 2015. I was watching my highly capable aunt plan their memorials and I was thinking, "Why isn't there a specialized event planner to help her do this? She has enough going on, dealing with the paperwork, closing accounts, and the crematorium."

After more than 12 years of planning destination weddings, I knew it was time for a change in my career. I saw that I could use my event planning and people skills from weddings to help families plan meaningful and personal celebrations of life.

“Lindsey helped me plan my younger brother's celebration of life - one of the most difficult tasks one can imagine. She was excellent all throughout the process! She kept me on track and organized, and was easy to communicate with. She was a huge help when I needed someone to bounce ideas off of and had great recommendations for vendors. I would highly recommend Lindsey and would use her again!” - Kirstin
