About Blue Linden

The Blue Linden Team

Blue Linden Weddings & Events got its start in 2013, with owner Wanda Bonner realizing she had a passion for wedding planning and all the craziness that comes along with it. Wanda is masterfully organized and focused but loves having fun with clients and forming bonds that last well beyond the grand exit. For Wanda, it’s about building a relationship with each client and exceeding their expectations. Wanda’s clients describe her as “responsive and genuine with a great sense of humor” and praise her ability to keep their stress levels at a minimum.

In addition, Wanda's husband served for 30 years in the military and she understands the challenges that military couples face every day from short-notice deployments to unknown schedules, to moving out of state. Therefore she has a special place for engaged military couples. 

Tina worked for Blue Linden during 2019-2020 but the pandemic temporarily took her in a different direction. We were thrilled to have her rejoin the team in 2022! Tina has experience working in a bridal salon as well as wedding planning/coordination and her clients skills are outstanding.

Brooke comes from a very well-rounded background in the event industry ranging from the hospitality side of the industry in hotels to event centers and high end venues. She brings both “back of the office” experience and direct planning and coordination with couples with more than 10 years of experience. She has planned galas, fundraisers, golf tournaments and countless weddings and celebrations.

Lynn has worked with Blue Linden for several years as the official pinch hitter of the team. She plugs in quickly, efficiently, professionally, and with a calming spirit where and when needed.  Lynn's background in business and as a volunteer has provided extensive experience in coordinating and planning corporate events, trade shows, and fundraising galas. Weddings are the icing on the cake (pun intended)!  She enjoys meeting people and assuring them Blue Linden is taking care of every detail to make their event a success.

Together, we make up a team that is equal parts driven and fun-loving, with the happiness of our couples always coming first.
