Evelyn C. Sent on 11/03/2021Nicole is the absolute best!
Nicole Hensley is the absolute best of the best! She was the sweetest and kindest from our first initial meeting and for the entire two and a half years of the planning process. She always made us feel at ease during the entire planning process and on our actual wedding day. We had a wedding scheduled during COVID, so she worked twice as hard when getting all of our vendors rescheduled for TWO dates. She never skipped a beat and was always honest when it came to making the toughest decisions. It was truly an honor to have worked alongside Nicole and the entire Storybook team. We will be forever grateful for all of the hard work that they did to pull off the best day/night of our lives! If you are looking for the best wedding planner, hire Storybook Wedding and Events! You will be forever grateful being in the best hands of the entire business. -

I hired Storybook as a day of coordinator for my May wedding and was not in the least bit disappointed by my experience. We originally met with Lisa who talked us through the process and what to expect. Once we moved forward with hiring them, we were assigned our coordinator 3 months out from our wedding - who was the wonderful Joni!
Like many couples, my husband and I unfortunately had to deal with postponing as well as a last minute venue change when things weren't working out. Joni was our calm in this COVID storm and the months and days leading up to our wedding were as stress-free as possible for this overthinking bride. Joni was easy to talk to, offered a ton of guidance, and we trusted her completely every step of the way.
The day went SEAMLESSLY due to Joni and her team. It truly went without a hitch from the early morning until the end of the night. Thank you Joni, Mina and Amber. We truly could not have done it without you. -

Storybook and Lisa were incredible, especially considering we had to put our wedding off a year because of Covid. They made sure everything went smoothly, and their knowledge was invaluable when it came to hiring vendors. Lisa even sewed me into my dress when it popped because I danced too hard! 10/10, would recomend to anyone. -

Michela & Nicole are fantastic!
If you’re thinking about hiring someone to help with planning your wedding, you’ve come to the right place. Michela was our Day of Coordinator & 3 months prior to our wedding, we sat down to discuss what was already taken care of, what needed to be done & what we envisioned our wedding to be. At the end of our meeting she said “alright from here until your big day, I’ll be taking over :) any questions you have, ask me, don’t hesitate. That’s what I’m here for :) !”
Sure enough she did and I never doubted her one bit. Michela was a perfect match for us, super organized, very responsive to emails, got things done and we loved her bubbly personality !
Our bridal attendant was Nicole for that morning & felt special to have her there with us. We had a couple bumps in the road (what wedding doesn’t?) on the morning of & she was able to handle it so I didn’t have anything to worry about.
I honestly can’t say enough positive things about these ladies, other than thank you so much for making sure that our best day ever went smoothly. I don’t think it would have without you both there. I’ll always recommend them to anyone planning a wedding!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Storybook! Our goal as a couple from the beginning was to choose vendors we really hit it off with. After interviewing several wedding planners, we met Lisa. The initial meeting was when my husband found out he had mutual friends with Lisa and when we decided that it was a perfect match. Lisa is incredible at what she does while juggling many other projects. With that being said, we never felt we were a burden or she was too busy to answer any questions we had. We had SEVERAL moments where we were in over our heads and Lisa was quick to pick up the phone and help us navigate through every detail. She was able to suggest other vendors we were in search of and dining options to fit our every need. She's professional, responsive, kind, understanding and most importantly, GETS IT DONE.
Erin, one of the other planners on the Storybook team was part of our Wedding Day as well and she couldn't have been more a DREAM. She was quite literally at my side for the entire day until I walked down the aisle. Let me also mention we had 6 flower girls that were running around in excitement and Erin handled the chaos with such compassion & grace. She is professional, organized, empathetic & completely ON IT. She provided me with everything I needed and had forgotten in the few remaining hours before the wedding almost instantaneously while easing my mind until the doors opened.
Our wedding would not have been the same without Storybook. I honestly don't know how we would have pulled it off without these women. We had 16 people in our bridal party, 6 flower girls, 3 ring bearers, our ceremony musicians cancelled 3 days before our wedding, I had blisters the size of my toes the morning of the wedding. I could go on and on about my worries.... but it all ended up PERFECT because of Lisa and Erin. Throughout the process, I never had a doubt in my mind that it would be perfect, but I'm here to tell you that these ladies pulled it off to be more than I could have ever hoped for without a hitch. It was an absolute pleasure working with them! -

Klpontarelli@Gmail.com Sent on 09/07/2019LISA J with Storybook made my wedding dreams come true!
Lisa with Storybook exceeded all of my expectations planning our wedding! I look back over the course of the year it took to plan and NEVER could have done it without her. She is an absolute professional and never missed any detail. She is extremely organized and sent me weekly checklists to keep our planning on track. I never had any doubt, as I knew “Lisa was taking care of it”. She introduced me to our rockstar vendors and truly made my wedding vision come to life.
I would say I was more of a “relaxed” bride with decisions. I had an idea of what I wanted our wedding day to look like and somehow Lisa knew what my vision was from my vague descriptions and literally made it come to life. We shared many emails and vendor meetings together as Lisa was my right-hand (wo)man since my husband wasn’t ever able to make any of the meetings. I trusted her guidance and expertise completely. I genuinely loved her company and loved to have gained a friend out of this kind of experience.
I whole-heartedly recommend Lisa, a thousand times over, to anyone looking for a wedding planner!! She made everything so seamless and was so so worth it as part of our wedding budget. I can’t tell you how many comments I got from people throughout our planning process how relaxed and stress-free I was, and I told them it was all due to our wedding planner. My parents told me so many times, “Thank God for Lisa”. She is absolutely the best of the best and I truly was sad when our wedding day was over as I enjoyed our weekly communication. Lisa is your go-to girl for all things wedding!!!

Marisa G. Sent on 07/11/2019Truly the best planning decision we made for our wedding.
Nicole was an amazing asset to our wedding planning experience. We met with her originally for a day-of coordination package, but quickly realized how beneficial and cost-effective her partial package would be for planning our wedding. She was always a trusted advisor, even when it came to recommendations for pieces of our wedding that she was not responsible for during the early days in our planning. She was always attentive and very organized when it came to every detail of our planning. Her professionalism when meeting with vendors was a true gift and we felt at ease in every meeting knowing that she had our backs. I would recommend Nicole and the Storybook team a million times over. She made sure our wedding day was nothing short of perfect, operating every detail with every vendor like a well oiled machine. She went above and beyond the day of our wedding when the father of the bride forgot his bow tie and made sure to find him a new one (thank you thank you). We will always look back on our planning experience, confident that Nicole was worth every penny. -

Allison Sent on 05/13/2019Lisa and Lucy are the Dream Team Wedding Planners!
Lisa and Lucy were instrumental in planning our destination wedding in Italy. Besides being so sweet and kind, they are proactive, responsive, professional and extremely thoughtful and creative. When I felt nervous or anxious, they were calm and collected! Coordinating and planning our wedding involved us in Texas, Lisa and our photographer in Chicago, Lucy in Italy and all of our Italy based vendors—complicated! But Lisa and Lucy managed it so well and seamlessly from our perspective. I loved the online program we used to track contracts, budget and tasks, too. Reflecting on our wedding day, and the days leading up to it, I would never have had that amazing experience without Lisa and Lucy managing vendors and guests in the background. We are so happy and grateful that we had the chance to work with them, you will NOT be disappointed if you choose Lisa, Lucy and Storybook Chicago for your wedding planners! -
