    Making our dreams come true!

    We knew that our dream wedding would only be possible with Erin and the Your Story Team… but we had no idea that they would go above and beyond all of our expectations. To say it was perfect would be an understatement. I thought I was very detail oriented and then I met Erin! Every single detail was perfect and very well communicated. Not only did they handle everything behind the scenes leading up to and on wedding day, they also made sure we were taken care of every step of the way. We are so grateful and will cherish our memories and experience forever! Thank you, Your Story!

    Thank you erin

    If you are looking for a wedding or event planner you have found the right one. Words cannot express how grateful I am for Erin and her team, I wish I knew where to start! The first thing you get from Erin is love and energy she has the best personality and makes you feel like you’ve known each other for years. She takes your ideas and brings it to life. I had a very specific Image in mind for my wedding and she absolutely nailed it. She was so open with communication and always responded quickly. we had multiple meetings and she would even do phone meetings with me to make sure I was feeling ok and that she had it all under control. I can’t imagine anyone better than Erin to help me with my perfect wedding. Erin quickly became family and I couldn’t recommend her enough! We absolutely love her.

    Your Story Wedding & Event Planning's reply:

    To say it was an honor to be a part of your and Scooter's day is an absolute understatement. We LOVED getting to know you both; amazing and loving people and families. We wish you the VERY best in your marriage and cannot wait to hear about all the wonderful next chapters to come! Thank you for letting us tell YOUR STORY! xoxo ~ Erin and the YS Team

Team

Erin Chalstrom
Erin Chalstrom
Owner / Lead Coordinator

Erin Chalstrom comes by event planning, honestly. It is part of who she is. As her family can attest, she makes everything she does, an event. Whether it’s a vacation to Hawaii, or her children’s birthday parties, her laptop contains spreadsheets for each—so highly organized that her kids can find them. That’s how she approaches her work at Your Story—except she tailors events specifically to her client’s needs and gives each one, a professional finish.

Erin’s career in event planning began in college at Washington State University. As a Career Placement Coordinator she worked with corporate recruiters to plan showcases for graduating seniors entering the work force. After earning her BBA in hotel and restaurant management, she developed her skills planning state conferences and corporate meetings—eventually applying her talents to Alaska-based non-profits.

Kayla Corey
Kayla Corey
Assistant Planner

Kayla Corey has dreamed of weddings and big events since she was a little girl. Meeting Erin and becoming a part of the Your Story team has been such a blessing to her. Kayla first dipped her toes into the wedding world back in 2013 when she became a stylist working at David’s Bridal in California. She quickly climbed to becoming one of the top stylists in the business earning a spot in The Circle of Excellence. Helping each bride find the gown of her dreams was very rewarding. She has worked very closely with not only the bride, but the bridal party as well as mothers of the bride and groom.

While working at David’s Bridal she became engaged, and began to plan a wedding of her own. It was then that she decided she needed to follow her passion into the wedding and event planning business.

Kayla married her husband in spring of 2016 and decided that moving back home to Alaska to raise her family was where they needed to be. Summer of 2016 she began working with Erin assisting in weddings, galas, and special events. Attention to detail and seeing an event fall beautifully into place is what she strives for. Watching a bride and groom celebrate with all of their friends and family in a beautiful setting is very fulfilling for her. Her goal when planning every event is to make the day splendidly memorable.
