Lindsay Eshelman | Topeka, Kansas
Veil Events Wedding Coordinator
Hello, I’m Lindsay E.!
If you need me on a day off, I’d probably be on the couch watching football or scary movies with my 2 fur babies! I secretly wish every event I worked at was a Halloween party. I’m that friend that hosts the annual Boo Bash at my house each year! We definably go all out! Currently, I’m a Full-time Dental Hygiene student, and that keeps me very busy these days.
I’ve been working in the wedding industry since 2014. Lindsay Kooser trained me back in the day, and I ran my own Wedding Coordination business until I joined this team.
I LOVE weddings because you get to be a part of such a special moment in someone’s life. On the wedding day, the Bride relies on you so much to make everything run so smoothly, and at the end of the evening, when she has a HUGE smile on their face, dancing away the night with friends, you know you have made a difference! It’s such a rewarding feeling.
My favorite part of the day is the first look, whether that be a set-aside time or when the doors open, and the groom sees the Bride for the first time. I can always tell the Bride relaxes even more once she is with her groom.
Why is it important for a bride to hire a wedding coordinator?
The day of your wedding should be one of the best days of your life and if you have vendors or friends “bugging” you then you get sidetracked and don’t get to enjoy the day. If you are worried about your groom or the groomsmen then you don’t get to relax with your girls. This is were a wedding coordinator can come to the rescue! We provide peace of mind! We take care of all the details of the day and make sure everything gets done and goes off without a hitch. We take the stress away from you and/or mothers so you can focus on what you came there to do…get married and have an epic party!
How and when did you start in the wedding industry?
I interned with Lindsay Kooser at the bridal fair for the first time in January 2014, then coordinated my first wedding that May. Lindsay taught me firsthand how to handle all the details leading up to and on wedding day.
Tell us about your experience as a wedding coordinator.
I have handled larger and smaller weddings. I have come across mothers who need some “soothing” and some brides that need some one to hide their alcohol because of a secret pregnancy. I have done things as simple as lighting candles to running and adding more tables and chairs last minute because more guests showed up than had RSVPd.
Tell us about a time when you helped the bride on her wedding day.
As mentioned I had a bride that had just found out she was pregnant no one but the groom knew about it. All day she felt nauseous and not feeling 100%. I helped her when she needed to secretly use the restroom and when she was handed alcoholic beverages, I took them and switched them out for her before anyone noticed. It was challenging but rewarding when at the end of the night she gave me the biggest hug and said, “you have no idea how grateful I am! You are a live saver!”
What is your favorite part of wedding day?
Getting the bride to the location for the first look. The nerves and excitement is off the charts! Whether that first look is with her dad or her groom. Whether it is a planned time before the ceremony or when the doors open at the back of the church/venue. It is always so special!
