“I am writing to highly recommend Lindsey Nickel for the position of memorial event planner. I have had the pleasure of working with Lindsey for my mother’s memorial, and I can confidently say that she is one of the most talented and dedicated event planners I have ever met.
The sudden loss of my mother and the challenges I faced in organizing her memorial service, was quite overwhelming.It was a difficult time for me, as I had to contend with the void left by her passing and plan a service for over 100 guests in a short timeframe. Additionally, the fall harvest season in Napa Valley meant that it was a busy time, requiring significant coordination, creativity, and effort.
Fortunately, a friend referred me to Lindsey Nickel, who proved to be a tremendous help in organizing the event. Lindsey not only took care of the logistics but also provided me with much-needed comfort and support during that trying time. Lindsey has a natural talent for event planning, and she has a keen eye for detail. She is able to take a vision and turn it into a reality, creating events that are both beautiful and meaningful. She is also incredibly organized and efficient, ensuring that every aspect of an event is carefully planned and executed. She understood the significance of the service and made sure it was held in my mother’s garden, a place where she expressed her gratitude to her higher power.
I cannot overstate the importance of Lindsey’s attention to detail and care in making the memorial service a meaningful and memorable experience. In addition to her skills as an event planner, Lindsey is also a compassionate and empathetic person. She understands the importance of creating a meaningful and respectful memorial event, and she is able to work closely with clients to ensure that their needs and wishes are met. She allowed me to focus on mourning my mother’s passing, knowing that everything else was being taken care of. I am truly grateful for her assistance and support during that difficult time.
In conclusion, I highly recommend Lindsey Nickel for the position of memorial event planner. She is an outstanding professional with a natural talent for event planning, and she is also a compassionate and empathetic person who truly cares about her clients. I am confident that she would be an asset to any organization, and I wholeheartedly endorse her for this position. ”

“The recent Celebration of Life held for my wife was a really wonderful afternoon of reminiscing and connection with over one hundred people who were special for her. It would not have been successful without the outstanding guidance and coordination provided by Lindsey Nickel of Lovely Day Legacies. Lindsey pointed me to top-notch providers for services to complement the location and caterer I had chosen and made sure every aspect was attended to and delivered on time for the event. She is very well organized and kept all the moving parts in synch, much like the conductor of a finely tuned orchestra.
So many attendees mentioned how the celebration clearly carried a sense of being well organized, smooth-running and totally in control from beginning to end — With all the right touches to make it feel really special. From the first introductory meeting to clean-up after the celebration, Lindsey was accessible, able to come up with answers to questions, had solutions for things needing attention and gave me the greatest confidence it would be an afternoon everyone would remember. If you are looking for a true partner with tremendous skills in planning and coordinating a celebration of life for your loved one, Lindsey is THE person to go to!”

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!”

“Lindsey, from Lovely Day Events, was the event planner for a Celebration of Life to honor my recently departed wife. It was a difficult time for me and my family. Lindsey was very understanding, thoughtful, and responsive. She took the time needed to understand and help clarify our desires, was sensitive to our needs, and was a great source of ideas that made the Celebration of Life more than we imagined it could be. From the first time we met, I knew we were in good hands. From the initial planning meeting to the preparation of a detailed schedule for the day to the day of the event, all ran smoothly.
The Celebration of Life was held outdoors, with multiple stations and activities. Our guests numbered about 300 and we heard that day, and many times thereafter, how lovely and fitting the Celebration of Life was. The day was truly a beautiful reflection of my wife, and I will forever be grateful for all the work Lindsey did to make the event as meaningful as it was to me, my family, and our guests.”

“Lindsey was exactly what we needed when we didn’t even know we needed it! My family worked with Lindsey during our planning for my father’s celebration of life. She also helped us during the celebration itself. 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.
She worked diligently to handle things on a short timeline, but she did so with the thoughtfulness that was critical during the weeks after my father’s death. She felt like more than an event planner. She was a support for our entire family - helping us through one of the hardest moments in our lives.
We would have been lost without Lindsey’s help and I cannot recommend her enough.”
— Erin, daughter
“As a photographer, working with Lindsey has always been a dream. Lindsey is always professional, efficient and so organized. I always feel much more prepared with Lindsey as a coordinator and on the team, she is very forthcoming with information and has everything put together.
Her aesthetics is on point and her designs are consistently beautiful, stylish, and appropriate. I truly love working with Lindsey!”
— Caroline, Milou and Olin Photography
