We had the good fortune of connecting with Lindsay Parkin and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Lindsay, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I wanted to do something that made a difference in someone’s life. I wanted to be able to bring joy to people. I found this through Weddings. After college, working for Marriott, and then working for a private event planning company, I was able to gain the experience that I needed to plan weddings on my own.

In both of my prior career positions, I was responsible for driving sales and securing clients. I decided to build my own brand that fit the mold of the planning experience we offer to our clients.

I wanted my company to represent an organized, stress free and FUN planning experience!

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
It is my goal to work with every vendor to the best of my ability, because on Event Day, we are a team! I am very flexible, so that each vendor can execute their speciality to the best of their ability. This approach can vary from planner to planner.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
In our area, the best things to do are on the water! We have tons of waterfront dining, pontoon boat bar taxis, beaches, paddle boarding, etc.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would not be where I am today without the support of my friends and family. They are my biggest fans. Their support has given me the confidence and the motivation to help my couples, Bring Their Vision to Life. I have had the pleasure of employing both friends and family members since opening my company in several different situations. Being able to work alongside the people I love the most brings me true happiness. Thank you for always being there for me!
