She went above and beyond 

alexandra m. -
Lake Charles, LA

Julie was beyond phenomenal during our entire wedding planning process and during the day of our wedding. She communicated quickly and efficiently the entire time. She went above and beyond making sure we were taken care and our day was exactly how we had pictured. She was a joy to be around and added so much to the best day of our lives. I would recommend anyone and everyone to use Pinnacle Events!

Anytime we talked to Lindsi, we could feel her dedication and care for us. 

yujin h. - Cary, NC

Planning a wedding during the pandemic added unexpected challenges for us. But Lindsi was able to guide us through anything and everything! She was very understanding and flexible but was also able to give us the right amount of push and great advice to plan our dream wedding. Thank you, Lindsi, for all of your hard work to make our day so special (and stress-free)! 

Our wedding day was truly flawless.

jennifer r. - Atlanta

Lindsi made sure everything ran smoothly and I had absolutely zero worries on our big day. She even went out of her way to do an additional venue walk through the weeks leading up to our wedding due to some concerns we had regarding a change at the ceremony site. She was organized, communicated well, and was extremely detail oriented. We cannot recommend Lindsi and Pinnacle Events enough!
