Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Lindsay Parrott. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Alright, Lindsay thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. We love asking folks what they would do differently if they were starting today – how they would speed up the process, etc. We’d love to hear how you would set everything up if you were to start from step 1 today
I would invest more into my company immediately – advertising/marketing, educagtion/workshops, styled shoots and networking opportunities. In two years in Vegas, I was able to do what I couldn’t in Chicago in 8 years. The only difference…Styled Shoots.
Lindsay, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
Hi! I’m Lindsay. I was born and raised in Chicago and moved to Las Vegas in 2020. I love a big city, and definitely took the aesthetic with me, but really wanted a change of pace & vibe.
Events have been my life for almost 13 years! I was happy doing smaller events and the occasional wedding when I started in 2011 until I connected with a planner in Mill Valley, CA who invited me to a one-on-one two week training session. Needless to say, I went and the wedding was amazing!
After this wedding, I caught the itch and I was hooked from then on. Planning has always come very easy to me and is a great outlet for my very strong Type A personality.
Design & Styling is my love language. I need it to feel normal! I see art and opportunity in everything and am always discovering new ways to show my couples’ personalities through details.
Have you ever had to pivot?
COVID! Coming from Chicago – the heart of it, everything got shut down QUICK! So in true Lindsay fashion- I just decided to leave. Vegas was an easy choice, since it was already the wedding capital of the world! I just needed to make them not so cheesy!
It’s weird to say, but I thrived (business wise) during Covid and moved to a place that was really hurting for bespoke Elopements and Micro-Weddings.
What’s been the best source of new clients for you?
Currently it has been Instagram. I decided to stop investing into The Knot/Wedding Wire as the leads are never “real” and you get more of grocery shopping style client. Instagram gives me clients who seek me out, want my style and already know my vibe and pricing!
