  Fantastic coordinator

  Lynn was professional, responsive, organized, and knowledgeable -- attributes that I would have hoped for and expected in a good wedding coordinator. But she also made several very astute suggestions that made a real difference in the day, and came to the rescue when things went awry. Her skills even extended to repairing a broken shoe with dental floss! She handled everything with poise, kept the event running smoothly without being overbearing, and was a reassuring presence throughout. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

  We had a great experience working with Lynn. This was one of the pandemic weddings where we had everything planned and ready to go for April 2020, a

  This was one of the COVID affected weddings, and we had to re-do plans several time, with the wedding finally occurring May 2022. She was incredible - having everything perfectly lined up for April 2020, and then re-doing it all. Everything worked perfectly and the bride and groom were ecstatic. We can't thank Lynn enough for all she did for our family in creating this perfect wedding.

  Lynn helped coordinate our wedding back in July and we honestly can't say enough wonderful things about her and her team! She was extremely responsive whenever we needed her, was understanding of little glitches along the way - had FANTASTIC ideas about making things run more smoothly - but probably most importantly of all kept me completely calm and happy on the day of. She even dealt with our rather "rowdy and colorful" wedding party during the rehearsal with complete grace! She is truly the sweetest person ever and genuinely cares about making your day go exactly as you wanted! I don't know what I would have done without her! If you're looking for a rock star planner/coordinator - look no further!! Duke and Pearl is truly as good as it gets. :) Thank you Lynn!!!!! -Megan and Chris

  Lynn was an absolute dream to work with!

  Lynn was an angel sent from above to work with us on our wedding day, and I can't recommend her enough! My husband and I were a COVID couple, and had to postpone our wedding a few times. We ended up having our wedding on the Monterey coast, and planned it in 2 1/2 months and Lynn helped us every step of the way. She was extremely organized, patient, and made us feel taken care of the whole process. On our wedding day, she was that extra support that we needed and couldn't have done without. She was cool, calm and collected which in turn made me feel like I could totally sit back and enjoy the day. I didn't have to worry about ONE thing since I knew Lynn had everything under control.
  Prior to the wedding, we did a walk through of the venue and went over all the details in person which was SO helpful. There's so much that goes on behind the scenes of planning a wedding that I had no idea about, and Lynn was a seasoned pro that I was able to fully trust.
  So many of our family and guests came up to me and said how great of a job Lynn did and I enthusiastically said "oh my goodness I know! Thank God Lynn was with us through this process and on our wedding day!". She got SO many compliments!! It was such an honor and a blessing that we had Lynn as our coordinator.

  Wonderful Experience

  I had the most wonderful experience working with Lynn at Duke & Pearl for day-of-coordinating for my wedding in Carmel Valley (Holman Ranch). Everything went very smoothly and successfully. Lynn is very professional and experienced, and she went out of her way to even buy us an extra table linen and candles when she sensed we were missing them last-minute. She and her assistant were on top of everything and were essential in executing our wedding day. I didn't have to do any work day-of! I would not hesitate to work with Lynn and Duke & Pearl, and I highly recommend her and her team! No need to think twice or look for other coordinators! Her service as also affordable and good value, and she was happy to help to achieve a successful event, even beyond traditional coordinator activities.

  Best decision we made!

  Though our initial plan was to coordinate our wedding ourselves, we were encouraged by our other vendors to hire a coordinator and we are so glad we listened! Lynn was amazing. She relieved us of so much - not only the day of the wedding, but also the weeks leading up to the event. Her attention to the little details and invaluable input made the day perfect and exactly how we envisioned it.
  
  Everything was made so easy which allowed us (and our family and friends) to completely enjoy the day. In fact, many of our guests commented on how relaxed we appeared during the entire weekend....hiring Lynn was the best decision we made during our entire wedding!

  Planning Perfection

  I used Lynn and her team as my Day-Of Coordinators, and couldn't have asked for a smoother wedding! Everything was so well planned that we found ourselves having extra time to take photos and grab a cocktail with friends and family after the ceremony. The whole day was thought out, well planned, and beautifully executed. I had a lot of complicated family dynamics to sort out, and I appreciated it when Lynn reminded me of what to focus on so that I fully enjoyed my day. I couldn't recommend Duke and Pearl highly enough - they are fabulous!

  Lynn and her crew are amazing!

  Thanks to Lynn and her crew for making my wedding go so smooth and making my wedding vision come to live. During planning Lynn asked a lot of good questions to make sure that she fully understands the vision of the wedding. She kept in touch with all the vendors before the wedding to keep track of the timeline. She also was super helpful during the rehearsal walking us and the wedding party through the ceremony. She is very patient, didn't mind having to repeat few rounds of rehearsal, and made sure everyone gets it. On the wedding day, Lynn and her crew arrived early to help set up and Lynn was the last person to leave the venue. She helped us packing all the decor and leftover drinks back to our car. She was very organized and clean. I don't think I could have gone over the wedding without her! I would recommend her to anyone!

  Absolute perfection and professionalism. Lynn and her team gave us the wedding we had not even dreamed was possible.

  From first to last meeting and since our event, Lynn was a joy to work with. We are so incredibly grateful to have had her calming presence & creative, flexible skills on a day that could have been stressful. She was three steps ahead of everything on our big day & we sailed along behind her having the time of our lives. It sounds almost too good to be true, but Lynn honestly felt like the fairy godmother of our wedding! Right down to "bibbitty bobbity booing" a bustle for my wedding dress at the last moment!

  Absolutely priceless!

  Lynn is SO professional, yet very warm and easy to communicate with. The other vendors loved her also, which made for a smooth and fun collaboration. She is mind bogglingly organized, sees the event from all angles, and simply made it a seamless lovely day for all of us!

  Lynn is the ultimate wedding consultant! There are not enough words to express how completely happy and thrilled we were with her planning, organization and communication skills, just for starters. We weren't convinced we needed a wedding consultant until about 2 months before the date. We finally realized the wedding weekend could be pretty stressful if the wedding couple and families were responsible for managing the details, not to mention dealing with any surprises. We found Lynn and fortunately, she was available. Lynn immediately put everyone at ease with her warm and professional personality. She knew all the right questions to ask and issues to raise, listened carefully, and had good options/solutions as needed. We were so pleased with her ability to understand the big picture and flow of the wedding day as well as tease out all the many details, without overwhelming us. Lynn worked very well communicating and coordinating with the various vendors, the venue staff. Again, she asked all sorts of questions we would not have thought of: e.g., what is the maximum decibel reading allowed by the venue (for the DJ), she provided the exact sunset time for the photographer, so she could decide when to plan for low light photos. She even brought the Marriage License and made sure it was properly completed following the ceremony. Lynn also attended the ceremony rehearsal the day before, and deftly guided everyone through the process and the flow. We really appreciated (and needed) her guidance! In summary, our daughter's wedding and reception flowed beautifully, and our families were able to fully enjoy the day and evening, knowing Lynn and her able assistants had everything flawless covered! Would choose her again in a heartbeat.

  THANK YOU, Lynn, for making our wedding day everything we wanted and going above and beyond!! Lynn is extremely professional, flexible, and organized! I could not imagine our wedding day without her. Leading up to our wedding, Lynn put together our timeline and made sure I was aware of things I needed to be doing and thinking about, which was super helpful because I had a lot going on. On the day-of, she kept everything running smoothly and took care of things behind the scenes for us so we could enjoy our day, which is exactly what we were able to do. You will not be disappointed if you hire Lynn! She is an amazing coordinator and I wish I could get married all over again so that I can work with her again!! Thank you again, Lynn!!

  Lynn was an absolute pleasure to work with both before the wedding and during! The day before and morning of she coordinated all of our vendors, rentals, and deliveries! When we were missing 500 lbs of ice from our delivery, she handled it. I didn't have to think about a thing that day besides having a complete blast with my friends and family! I can not say enough about Lynn and would recommend her to anyone planning a wedding!

  Hiring Lynn to coordinate our wedding enabled us to have the PERFECT day! She was so easy to work with! Very experienced and pays attention to every detail. She was a constant voice of reason throughout and kept me balanced and at ease. We developed a bond and a friendship that goes beyond. Our advice for the grooms; "pay close attention to your time line for getting ready!" Lol. We absolutely recommend Lynn to be your wedding coordinator. On a scale of 1-5. She's a "10".

  We had the pleasure of working with Lynn as our month of/day of coordinator. I cannot express myself enough when I say that she is a life saver and is amazing at what she does. She always made sure to let me know that everything was under control and our wedding could not have been more perfect because of all of her hard work. I would absolutely recommend Lynn to anyone who is getting married!! She truly is the best!

  We used Lynn for Day of event coordination for our wedding. We couldn't be happier with her services! She was super organized and calm throughout. We had a somewhat complicated wedding - multiple ceremonies with dress changes, multiple cocktail breaks, and even when we were running a bit ahead of schedule, and the caterer wasn't ready, Lynn had a back-up plan and executed it perfectly. We're fairly organized ourselves as a couple and it was incredible for us to see someone who had spent time to understand all of our little details and internalize our plan so well. All of our guests left with a smile on their face. Thank you Lynn!

  Lynn did an excellent job planning and executing every detail of our wedding at Roaring Camp in Felton! She was easy to work with and reliable. Most importantly, I was able to fully enjoy every moment of our wedding day because Lynn and her team were so attentive and helpful, and if anything went wrong I never knew about it! Thanks, Lynn!!

  I couldn't imagine our July 1, 2017 wedding without Lynn and her team! She worked diligently and quickly to respond to my emails regarding simple and more complex requests. She worked professionally by communicating with all my vendors to ensure everything would run smoothly the day of and that all my vendors were on the same page. Lynn met with me at 8 PM the night before my wedding to help me set up the banquet room with decorations. She was the first one there and the last one to leave on my wedding day. On the day of she was constantly communicating with vendors to ensure that everything was going according to the timeline or checking in with me to see how I wanted to approach the next event (dinner, first dance, bouquet toss, etc. ) She also made sure that we had food and drinks in our hand as soon as we arrived at our venue from our ceremony. She helped us break down and pack up our cars with our gifts/cards and decorations. During the planning process, she worked with me to brainstorm a room arrangement. She also helped me create and implement a logistical vision for how all of my decorations and activities would work for our space. I was a very DIY bride meaning that I was ready to do a lot of the work myself, pre-wedding and day of. However, after meeting with Lynn, I learned that there are many elements that contribute to a successful and enjoyable wedding that I could not have planned or been in control of myself the day of. There are so many things that you don't think of because you're either not in the wedding business or you consumed with many other tasks. She made multiple drafts of my "day of" timeline in the most organized spreadsheets I've ever seen. I HIGHLY recommend Duke and Pearl. Lynn is a true professional with a great work ethic. In addition, she is thoughtful, kind and generous with her time. We truly appreciate everything that they did to make our wedding day come together. It's worth every penny.

  Lynn was the best!! Her preparation before the wedding was SO helpful. She coordinated with all of the vendors and created a fully comprehensive schedule of the day that included all of the vendors duties. The schedule was sent out to everybody and it definitely helped things run more smoothly the day of.
  Of course no wedding would be complete without some kind of problem, so when the service staff that we hired turned out to be a major disappointment and failed in almost all of their duties Lynn and her assistant stepped up in a major way to keep things rolling. None of this came to my wife and I's attention until a few days later so the wedding night felt problem free.
  Lynn also went above and beyond after the wedding when it came time to get reimbursed by the staffing company. She made sure that there were pictures of the the mess that the staff left, joined us on the call with the staff company and made sure that the owner of the company understood just how unhappy we were with their people. Everything ended positively because after it was all said and done the staffing company gave us a major refund and it was mostly with the help from Lynn.

  My only regret is that I did not hire her before I had picked some of my other vendors. Our venue and some of our vendors were challenging but Lynn handled everything with grace and professionalism. I am from the east coast so we really relied on her expertise and an expert she is! Lynn and her assistants saw to every detail of my daughter's wedding. I was able to totally relax and enjoy the day because I knew she would make everything perfect. This should be your first hire if you are planning a wedding in the Monterey Bay area!

  Duke and Pearl (Lynn) was so wonderful to work with. Though she has done a ton of weddings, when you are working with her, you feel like the "only one." The dreams you have, will come true with Duke and Pearl. I was so worried about all the tiny details of the wedding day, but as I continued to work with Lynn, I knew I could leave them to her and she would remember and make it happen! Not only was Lynn super profession, she felt like your friend too, cheering you on for your big day! She knows all the right questions to ask, has great organization skills, and is so personable. I highly recommend Duke and Pearl, and believe the service was worth every penny. If it is just you planning your wedding, or if you have a ton of folks involved (mom, dad, and many vendors), you will be helped and cared for every step of the way. Duke and Pearl is just what you need to bring a sense of ease and comfort to the wedding day!

  Lynn came highly recommended by an "ultra-high-end" wedding planner as somebody who had once worked for her (that she wanted back badly!) and who would perform an "ultra-high-end" job, (at a more reasonable price) because Lynn preferred helping with still beautiful -- but more personal and "regular, " -- weddings rather than the "ultra-high-end" type. This was completely true. We felt fully supported throughout the process and knew we had somebody who would be able to totally handle anything that came up unexpectedly on the wedding day. She has great taste, will totally try to accomodate your desires rather than try to make things easier for herself, and will just generally make the whole event a whole lot less stressful. If you can get her, you will not be disappointed.

  Honestly couldn't be more happy with my decision to go with Lynn from Duke and Pearl. She is a real person and understands the stresses of wedding planning. We trusted her and she came through. No regrets. Affordable, dependable, and truly just a fun person to interact with. She was the best.
