TESTIMONIALS

“There are no words to express our gratitude to Don and Linda. We are grateful to have such a wonderful host and we couldn’t be happier.

Our wedding was in 10 days and for months we looked around for venues and came up with none that was affordable or available for the date we wanted. We were very frustrated until we met Don and Linda from Lindon House. They were the saving grace to our special day and we could not believe how generous and helpful they were to us.

We loved Lindon House the moment we saw it and the combination of modern and antique setting gave it warmth and made it a perfect place for a small and intimate wedding. Don and Linda’s experience in hosting many events helped us tremendously with some of the planning and the finishing touches. We met once and in that time, they helped us to organize the seating arrangements, a Minister, catering service and music for the special day.

Don welcomed our guests, while Linda entertained them and together they took all our worries away for the special day. We are very grateful to Don and Linda for their hospitality.

We recommend Lindon House when planning your wedding and you will not be disappointed.”

“A big THANK YOU to Don and Linda McDonald.

Our decision to choose the Lindon House for our wedding was quick and easy after we met with Don and Linda as we found them to be very friendly and helpful, on top of their property being spectacular. We met with them several times before our wedding and they were as excited as we were planning our big day.

Don and Linda have hosted many events, which really helped us, as we did all our own planning, however they saw details we had missed. They left no detail out in ensuring our day was just right.

Don and Linda greeted all our guests, who experienced “the Red Carpet treatment” and provided them with a little bubbly to start off the celebration. The house was immaculate and the gazebo and garden were beautifully set up. Nigel – Don and Linda’s pup – dressed in bow tie, made sure he met all our guests as well.

When planning your day comes we recommend you visit with Don and Linda, take in the grandeur of the Lindon House and decide if magic is what you want for your day.”

“We cannot begin to express our gratitude for the support, professionalism and peace of mind we encountered when we worked with Don and Linda MacDonald from Lindon House.

We were arranging a Celebration-of-Life memorial event after the passing of my wife’s father, we were tender and grieving, and we had a very limited time to handle all the details. Don and Linda welcomed us to Lindon House, and we felt peaceful and cared for from the very start of our time with them. Don and Linda showed us through their venue and the outdoor grounds, and pointed out various spaces that could be used for different parts of our gathering. When we asked questions like, “What about such and such?” they had answers that solved our dilemmas. When we said we wanted to do a photo-montage memory video, they showed us the built-in equipment they already had to accommodate such requests. When we said we’d have family and friends bringing food and beverages at the last minute, they showed us their kitchen facilities and helped us plan out spaces that would work well for the layout of food. When we said we wanted to have live music, they helped us find an area in which it would work well for the musicians to set up.

On the day of the memorial, Don and Linda served our family and friends with elegance and care: when we needed them they were there, and when we were focused on friends and family, Don and Linda worked quietly in the background to make sure everyone had everything they needed. It’s clear from looking at the pictures on the Lindon House website or from touring their grounds that this is an amazing venue. Lindon House is beautiful, elegant, welcoming, well laid out, warm… the descriptions cannot actually do justice to the reality. Our experience, though, showed us that on top of the elegance and warmth of the venue, it’s the beauty and graciousness of Don and Linda themselves that truly helped make our Celebration-of-Life, in both the planning stage and at the event itself, so memorable and meaningful.”

“This is the second time we have had our office Christmas Party at Lindon House and the second was even more magical than the first. From the ease of organizing with the help of Linda and Don, to the stunning decorations, to the comfortable environment that allowed for music, conversation and lots of laughter, to the impressive array of appetizers that appeared all night long. It was without question the best Christmas Party ever!”

“I had my husband’s Celebration of Life on September 17, 2014 at Lindon House. It was recommended by a friend and was the only venue I looked at. It didn’t take long for me to realize that I didn’t need to look any further. Lindon House held a warmth and beauty that I needed for a perfect send off for my husband. It was matched by Don and Linda’s graciousness as hosts and they gave me a great sense of confidence at a time when my thoughts were somewhat scattered. With a few details in place, they took over the fine tuning and were always available for my input and questions. The gardens and weather were perfect for refreshments outside. Obviously, I highly recommend Lindon House.”

“The following is a letter of recommendation for the exceptional services provided by The Lindon House as our Wedding Coordinators as well as our Venue for our wedding. A wedding should be known as the most memorable time of two people’s lives, and for us on September 12th, 2015 it was, with the help and guidance of Don and Linda, the Venue hosts and owners. Don and Linda took the time and efforts to find and contact our florist, caterer, hair and make up artists and musicians. This made our day and planning a lot easier as they had already worked with these vendors which they knew and were highly recommended. These were the details that made this day so special for us. Their organizational skills were impeccable, which took a lot of pressure and stress off of us when there were other numerous other matters to be tended to. Don and Linda took the time to meet with us on numerous occasions before the wedding, and making themselves available day or night without hesitation. In addition, my “bridal party” stayed the night before the wedding in the house. This made getting ready wonderful and relaxed as we could have all our make up and hair done in the house. We also were given a continental breakfast and champagne to start our morning.

The venue was so amazing and gave our wedding such an intimate feel as it was a beautiful, romantic and unique setting. We had our ceremony in the enormous backyard which made all our our guests hearts swoon as well as ours. The attention to detail was so great and it all looked so magical. This was the perfect place for our small and intimate wedding and we highly recommend the Lindon House for any future party, wedding, or even just to have a nice relaxing stay in Kelowna. This recommendation has not even began to show the appreciation that both Travis and I have for Don and Linda’s services at the Lindon House, and we would be more than willing to speak to anyone on their behalf as a recommendation for one of the most cherished days of both of our lives.”

“There are not enough kind words to express how we all felt after spending a full day with you both, in your lovely unique venue. Our brokers were so very pleased with absolutely everything, and that is not an easy task to accomplish.

Once upon a day, I resorted to the internet and found the perfect looking venue for my first official function in Kelowna. From the first response to my email request, to my telephone conversations with both Linda and Don, they handled everything for me. From the menus, to the caterers and servers. We had 30 attendees, starting with a yummy hot breakfast, a delicious plated lunch followed by appetizers and wine to bring in the cheer!

Exquisite, is a word that I seldom use, but for this beautiful and magical venue, there are so many great things to share. Our team gave the day a 10.5 out of 10.

Guess where we will be attending our next Kelowna meeting?

Thank you so very much for making everything perfect!”

“I couldn’t recommend Lindon House any higher! I was completely thrilled with the care and attention to detail that went into putting my special party together. Don and Linda where a pleasure to deal with and accommodating in every way. The theme was an evening at Downton Abbey and from the red carpet arrival, complete with costumed house attendants, footmen and the Lord and Lady of the manner to the kitchen staff and all the decor it could not have been a more perfect evening! They went above and beyond welcoming us into their home and hosting the most perfect evening!

I loved every minute of it! And didn’t want it to end. Thank you Don and Linda! It will be a special memory for years to come.”

Dina Kotler

“From the first time that I stepped into Lindon House I was enchanted. It was such a beautiful venue for my daughter’s bridal shower. It really felt like home. Don and Linda have a real eye for detail and they catered to our every need. It was a very cozy atmosphere and the red carpet was a very special touch that made our guests feel very honored. I look forward to attending many more events at Lindon House.”

Cornellia Issler

“As soon as I walked in I knew it was the one; the place I wish to be wed. Lindon House has exceptional style, a vintage class that exudes beauty. Linda and Don; owners of Lindon House became our ‘fairy god couple’, helping my fiance and I with every detail insisting it be perfect in every way. Linda knows the finest of everything there is to offer for your special day, from the food, music, makeup and photography she can help you find what you are looking for. They have an enchanted garden at Lindon House that leaves you breathless in the evening; it makes for a magical outdoor gathering area. Lindon House has a timeless quality so hard to find in today’s modern world. My husband and I arrived as strangers and left as friends. Thank you Linda and Don, you are truly special people”.
