The best peace of mind I could have asked for!

Hiring Jelena was easily one of the best decisions I made during my wedding planning process. I used her Coordination services and it was incredibly helpful to have her checking my planning work and making sure everything was good to go leading up to the wedding, then having Jelena and her team onsite day-of to keep everything running smoothly. It made my wedding day completely hassle-free for me and I am so grateful to the Love Story team! Thank you, Jelena!!!

100% recommend!

Do yourself a favor and book Jelena and her team! She has your best interest in mind and thought of little things I would've missed. She is involved at the venue walk through, rehearsal, and of course day of. Just having her around gave me peace of mind that everything would be taken care of. She is detail-oriented and just gets it done! She was a calming presence on the big day as well which was so appreciated. Having her come back at the end of the night to help clean up was also SO worth it. She is organized and always responded in a timely fashion. We also had her book our honeymoon to Greece and I'm so glad we did. She knows what she is doing and it was such a relief to not have to book everything ourselves. Book Love Story Events!!! It is so worth it and you will be glad you did. :)

The perfect Planner for us!

I hired Love Story for our wedding last year and quickly realized it was one of the best decisions I've made! My fiance and I live out of state from where our wedding took place so we needed more than a coordinator, so we booked the "Guidance and Coordination package" - the BEST!

I had monthly meetings with Love Story which helped me out a lot with all of my planning questions and needs! They were available for any questions that I had which helped to take away so much stress! The team were on top of it with all of the details and coordinating with our venue and vendors, even the vendors complimented Love Story for their communication!!

Our wedding day came and it was perfect thanks to our planners! Thank you so much for everything!

The best investment!

The Love Story team, Jelena and Mimi were a huge help with our wedding. They were organized and stayed in touch with us periodically as we worked through wedding planning. The day of the wedding we had two issues pop up (and Jelena was available right away to handle them! She took the stress of little problems away from us and we had a seamless, amazing wedding thanks to their help!

Rockstars!

Literally cannot say enough about Love Story and how much they helped out before and the day of our wedding. Jelena is professional, courteous and very detail oriented. She noticed things that we did not and handled all the moving parts with ease. She made our day run smoothly and we will be forever grateful that Jelena was a part of our momentous occasion. 5 stars all the way!!!

The perfect person for day of coordination

Jelena was the perfect person to have as our day of coordinator for our wedding. Jelena can be described as sweet, organized and very professional. She is honestly everything we could have ever wanted in a wedding planner and my fiancé and I felt so at ease knowing she was there to help the day run smoothly. She did a wonderful job running the rehearsal and creating a schedule for the day of the wedding to make sure we knew where to be and when. Everything ran so seamlessly and I truly felt like I was able to stop and take in the day!

Amazing work!

Jelena is powerhouse! Our wedding was pushed back three times due to covid and she was with us every step of the way! She was great at keeping our budget. Anything and everything we needed - Jelena was there to support us and took a lot of stress away!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
