Perfect Wedding

Immediately after my wife and I were engaged, we started wedding planning on our own. We quickly found ourselves overwhelmed and wanting to do a courthouse wedding instead. However, we reached out to Jackie and her team at Wedding Story and couldn't have been happier with the experience and result!

We met regularly in person or over zoom to ensure we were on track. When we were not meeting, Jackie was always available via email or text. Her organization and planning were top notch! When dealing with vendors, we were able to secure cheaper rates due to her connections! And finally, the week of and the day of went so smoothly. The flowers from her shop we're gorgeous and my wife loves them! The decor was so beautiful! Of course, guests were being polite, but we kept hearing how much they loved the wedding and how it was one the best they've attended!

The goal for us was to not have to worry or stress throughout this entire experience but still provide an enjoyable night for all of guests. Without Jackie and her team at Wedding Story, I do not think this would be possible.

If you are looking for a wedding planner, look no further! I highly recommend Wedding Story!

Jackie was a lifesaver!

Jackie and her team was so so efficient, professional, and amazing at executing all the small details for the wedding. We pulled the wedding in almost 4 months and we contacted Jackie because we needed to find a day of coordinator. She normally doesn’t do that she gave us a favor and worked with us for almost a month doing all the important work. She literally responded in 5 minutes and picked up call/text so fast and I don’t know how she does that. Her teammate on our wedding day was also super skilled that she revived my DIY tacky bridesmaid bouquet in 10 minutes. I felt so bad that her team had to make up for lots of things that didn’t go as planned but she made it work like magic. I wish we hired her in the beginning of our wedding planning because she helped us bring our venue cost down so much. It’s a must to hire a wedding planner who knows how to get things done, and she is THE ONE. Highly recommend. Plus, she decorated my cake, reception tables, and welcome table with some left over flowers and the decorations she brought. Couldn’t ask for more!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
