Meet Kim & Lindy

Kim and Lindy, two Kansas girls who share a bond like sisters with over 25 years of experience in the wedding and event industry, wow that's totaling more than 50 years of collective expertise. Their backgrounds include event planning, photography, and venue ownership. Recently, Kim along with her husband Bob sold their highly popular farm wedding venue Rustic Timbers which showcased outdoor weddings with a barn reception hall.  While we enjoyed our life in Kansas, we were looking for a change.  We have always loved the beach and the Destin area, so we picked up and relocated to beautiful Okaloosa Island. Let's create unforgettable memories.

We absolutely love weddings—there’s no doubt about it! 💕 With over 25 years of experience, we’ve had the honor of helping couples celebrate their unique love stories. Our team brings both creativity and expertise to every event, and we understand that no two weddings are alike. From the very beginning, you’ll find our communication is clear, responsive, and thoughtful. That’s why we approach each celebration with flexibility, patience, and a genuine passion for making your day truly unforgettable.

In three words: Collaborative, Creative, Flexible

    Kim and Lindy were the perfect match to help me with my Day of Coordination. I had most of the planning done myself, but needed expert guidance with permits and selecting the right beach house. They were incredibly responsive to all my questions and made sure every final detail was taken care of. I couldn’t have asked for a smoother experience—100% recommend them!

    By the Sea Beach Weddings and Luxury Picnics Event Planning was an absolute pleasure to work with for our destination wedding. Kim and Lindy made the planning process stress-free, promptly answering all of my phone calls, texts, and chat messages. They went above and beyond my dreams, sending me pictures and walking me through the venue with video so I could visualize everything. They thought of details I never would have, and their attentiveness put me completely at ease throughout the planning. Planning a destination wedding can be hard, but these ladies made it so easy. I'm so grateful for their hard work and dedication, which contributed immensely to making our special day perfect.
