    Your vision but better!

    Jackie and her team truly made my winter wedding dreams come true! From the moment I met Jackie, I knew she was the one who could bring my vision to life. She listened attentively to my ideas and preferences, and then she and her team worked tirelessly to exceed my expectations. They not only executed my vision flawlessly but also added their own creative touches that elevated everything to a whole new level.

    The consultation process was thorough and detailed. Jackie took the time to understand my style and preferences, and she provided valuable suggestions and recommendations. She and her team were always available to answer my questions and address any concerns I had. They were professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with.

    On the day of the wedding, everything was perfect. The floral arrangements were stunning, the table settings were elegant, and the cake was a work of art. I received so many compliments from my guests, who were impressed by the attention to detail and the beauty of everything.

    Jackie and her team truly do it all. They handled everything from the floral arrangements to the cake to the table settings, and they did it with grace and professionalism. They even coordinated with other vendors to ensure that everything ran smoothly.

    I would highly recommend Jackie and her team to any future brides. They are experienced professionals who can make your wedding dreams come alive. They will take your vision and make it even better.

    Amazing, no problems

    The first wedding planner we contacted said she couldn't possibly do the wedding we wanted on the budget we had. The second we contacted was Jackie, who delivered on the wedding. There was a lot we didn't know about weddings and she guided us through the whole process and handled nearly every part of the wedding. That included the venue, flowers, DJ, makeup/hair, tuxedo/dress rentals, and tons of small touches to make our wedding even better. She aggressively negotiated with the venues/vendors to get extra discounts and add-ons. Our wedding was beautiful and went smoothly and it was in large part due to Jackie's work.

    Absolutely Worth It

    Jackie and her team at wedding story couldn't have been more of a help to our wedding. Worth every penny and then some! We had everything set and secured early on. We could relax until the next meeting knowing we weren't going to miss anything. She made it easy for us to get married without any hassle. Professional and cares for their clients. We built a relationship with them and they truly were a part of the wedding and not just on the sidelines. We had full trust in Jackie and her team and I recommend anyone who wants a smooth and perfect wedding to use Wedding Story. We have recommended all our friends as they were all also impressed at the dedication and attention to detail as Jackie and her team provided us with the best wedding we could ask for! Thanks so much! Hagen

    Jackie and her dream team!

    I was planning wedding from abroad and Jackie literally helped me plan everything. She kindly answered my endless questions and gave me genuine guidance for each step over months of time. Jackie perfectly fulfilled my somewhat excessive requests with kindness and professionalism.
    Jackie and her team made my day beautiful and took care of everything till the end to make sure I don't miss anything. I highly recommend working with her from the beginning and mostly the same day coordination. It was my best choice to hire Jackie as part of my wedding. Thank you again for all your help!

    Really cares about your wedding day

    I booked Wedding Story just for hair and make-up. Jackie was responsive from the beginning and made sure to answer all of my questions. You can tell she is very experienced and knows what she is talking about. She asked me to send her a photo of what I wanted and then called me to ensure she understood everything about the wedding and my vision. When I went to go see her, she offered more suggestions to ensure that I looked my best on that day, like trying out eyelashes or getting my hair redone. I was so glad I took all of her suggestions because I absolutely loved the look on the wedding day. Overall, I appreciated how communicative she was and the level of care she showed throughout the entire process!

    Look nowhere else!!

    My wife and I just had our wedding this past Saturday and writing a review for Jackie is the first thing we got to once we recovered from the best weekend of our lives!

    Where to start?

    From the very beginning, Jackie was incredibly thoughtful, well planned out, and organized. She listened so attentively to our intial vision and needs (including our budget!) and laid out a plan of attack to meet everything we could dream of and more.

    As our wedding date came closer, she was always super responsive to our questions and ensured that we had a near stress free experience heading into the wedding.

    On the day of the wedding, she was flying around making sure that every single detail was perfect and that the timelines were 100% met. I've attended many weddings where so many things went haywire at the last minute, and we felt so blessed to have a wedding planner like Jackie (and her amazing staff!) who pulled the whole thing off without a hitch!

    She's a fantastic choice and we can't imagine a better choice!

    If you are lucky enough to hire Wedding Story, 10/10 would recommend!

    Jackie is a Wedding Powerhouse

    Jackie was so helpful. The parts that we really cared about she was detailed with. On the things we didn't care about, she was decisive and so helpful.

    She did the hair, make-up, wedding dress alterations, flowers, decorating, planning, etc. We were ahead of schedule the day of the wedding which was sooooo nice ♥️

    Great wedding planner

    I loved loved LOVED having Jackie and her team as my wedding planner. She was on point with scheduling and booking everything I needed for my perfect wedding. On day coordination went perfectly and her team members were so accommodating. 10/10 recommend her for anyone in the northern va area looking for a fabulous wedding planner!

    Fantastic Experience

    Jackie and her team were fantastic to work with! Extremely well organized, always available by Phone/email/text to answer any random questions we had, and got us some great deals with vendors that would have ended up costing us a lot more if we had done it ourselves.

    My biggest reason for a five star review is because of her thoughtfulness even in the chaos of the reception. My dad came down with COVID a few days before the wedding and was unable to make the trip. Jackie personally video-called my dad multiple times during the reception so he could be a part of things (speeches, first dance, cutting, etc.). That meant a lot to both me and my dad. Jackie also even snagged me a bottle of liquor (Woodford Rye) from my "signature cocktail" because they were almost out of it and she wanted to make sure I got all that I wanted... It was like an extra wedding present!

    I was skeptical about using a wedding planner at first, but I am extremely happy about our experience and would recommend Jackie and her team to anyone that has a wedding on the horizon.

    100% worth it

    I can't recommend Jackie and her team enough! I thought I could plan my wedding on my own, but I was in way over my head. I wish I used Wedding Story sooner! Jackie has been in the business for years, so has many connections. She was able to find better deals than what I could on my own. Not only is she and her team highly professional, but they are also so knowledgeable and kind.
    Planning a wedding is not easy, but thanks to Jackie, my needs were always met and she was quick to reply to all of my questions or concerns. After starting with Jackie, I became much more calm and so were my parents.
    All I can say is: don't wait - contact Jackie! (Ps. she is completely fluent in both English and Korean, so she has an even wider selection of vendors she can connect you to for cakes, clothing, etc.)

    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!

    Wedding Story Really Delivered!

    Jackie and her team at Wedding Story were phenomenal! With so much to consider, planning a wedding can be a daunting task. She took the stress out of the process with a streamlined approach to our wedding. Her insight, guidance, and vast network or resources and vendors made it so all we had to do is choose which options we liked best. From the flowers to the invitations, the photographer to the Dj, even the officiant and the venue, she really had everything covered. On the day of the wedding, the professionalism of their team ensured everything went beautifully. We have received so many compliments from all of our guests. My husband and I are very pleased with our wedding and reception, and so grateful to Wedding Story for making it happen.

    Amazing wedding florals

    Wedding Story has a great selection of rental dresses and offers services to help find vendors and assist with wedding planning. I was already in the middle of planning my wedding, so I went through Wedding Story for flowers only.
    Jackie is always quick to respond to emails and made herself available for video calls as needed. She is very accommodating and made the planning process painless. I was extremely pleased with the quality and aesthetic of the floral arrangements. I would definitely recommend Wedding Story.

    Amazing wedding and beautiful flowers

    We hired Jackie as our planner and florist for our wedding at 2941. During the planning process, she was extremely responsive and kept us on track. She was respectful of our choices but also always had insightful and tasteful recommendations about logistics or design. But where Jackie and her team really excel is wedding day. First, the flowers were incredible. We told Jackie very vaguely that we wanted a birch chuppah and yellow and white flowers and the arrangements she came up with were stunning. Our wedding day was also completely flawless. To the extent anything did go wrong, we didn’t know about it, because Jackie had it handled. We were able to be guests at our own wedding, we had no stress, and everything was executed perfectly. We got so many compliments on the wedding after, too. Would highly recommend Wedding Story for both day of coordination and flowers!

    Wedding Story helped me get the wedding of my dreams!

    Jackie and her team are very experienced wedding planners and listened to every detail in what I wanted for my dream wedding. I found her a week after I got engaged (Apr 2021) and worked with her for a year to plan plan out my wedding (Apr 2022)! She was great at multitasking and being the middle man for all my vendors (photography, catering, pipe and draping, quartet, etc.) Jackie was also my day of coordinator and did an amazing job at making sure we were sticking to the schedule and moving along smoothly. Her team also did my flowers and my bridesmaids' hair and make up and it couldn't have turned out better! I also rented my beautiful ceremony dress from her selection which was really great at helping me cut down the cost of having to buy another dress. All in all, my experience with Wedding Story was wonderful and I would choose them again if I had to go back!

    Jackie and her team is amazing!

    Jackie and her team are absolutely amazing. Our wedding was a great success, exactly what we envisioned. We were very busy with work, but Jackie helped us bring on a fantastic team - photographer, videographer, florist, and DJ. She made sure everything was done timely and properly. We are impressed by Jackie and her team, and would not hesitate to recommend her team to others.

    Mrs. Jackie and her team did an amazing job for our wedding. She is very professional and helpful. Having only two months to plan the wedding, I was worried that things wouldn't get done in such a short period of time. However Mrs. Jackie helped me find the perfect venue, flowers, cake, videographer, DJ, hair and makeup artist for the wedding. Everything was wonderful and perfect. Thank you for making our wedding day so special and beautiful! We greatly appreciate everything you did for us.

    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!

    Amazing Experience

    Wow Jackie and her team is amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better coordinator for our wedding. Jackie is very experienced in the wedding industry and you can really count on her to make sure your wedding day is not only beautiful but also flawless. She had our best interest and really took care of us. Once Jackie became our coordinator, we had a peace of mind going into our wedding knowing that we were in good hands. And when it came to the day of our wedding, Jackie and her team worked in perfect sync together. They know how to blend in the background and not hinder the wedding, but they also make sure that everything goes smoothly. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator. Thank you Wedding Story!

    Jackie and her team did an amazing job for our wedding, including searching, planning, booking, and everything. Without her, my husband and I wouldn't have a clue what to do. Because of her, we could've had our wedding at an amazing place with great food.
    On the day of our wedding, she was most certainly awesome for leading her team and welcoming our guests. Not only that, she did the hair and makeup really great. My mother and my husband were delighted with her skills. I wouldn't wait to recommend my friends to hire Wedding Story.

    Excellent- Highly Recommend!

    Ms. Jackie and the Wedding Story team were fabulous! We would not have had such a beautiful and perfect wedding day if it weren't for the huge help from Wedding Story. It is evident that they are experienced professionals that know what they are doing. Wedding planning is such a stressful task, but working with this wonderful team made our lives so much easier. They knew exactly what we wanted for our wedding, and if we wanted something specific to happen, they made sure that it was done! When we didn’t know what direction to go, Ms. Jackie gave us the guidance we needed and worked with our budget. She was always quick with her responses to give us help, suggestions, or advice with everything and anything. Ms. Jackie and her team are such hard workers, and they are quick to provide for our every need. I love that Ms. Jackie was organized, prompt, and timely during the planning process and wedding day. We received so many comments from our guests about how beautiful the wedding day was and how smoothly everything went. Flower decorations were AMAZING!!! I was also very pleased with my dress, hair, and make-up. It was incredible to see everything that we had planned together come to life on the big day. I couldn’t have worked with a better team to make our wedding dreams come true!

    Thank you for beautifying our special day!

    If you're looking to beautify your wedding with flowers of your dreams- look no further! We were extremely blessed to find Jackie and her Wedding Story Team. Jackie is passionate and a great listener. I requested modern and minimal flower arrangements and she delivered! I was simply blown away and so were my guests. Thank you, Jackie, and your team for adding the last bit of beauty and glamour to perfect our wedding day!

    Amazing experience!

    Jackie and her Weddingstoryva team were amazing to work with!

    When COVID-19 hit and threw our wedding plans into limbo, Jackie was so understanding and flexible with rescheduling both hair & makeup and florist services, not once, but twice. During the planning process, she was responsive and detail-oriented. Finally, on the big day, she went above and beyond; everyone was blown away with their makeup and the flowers photographed beautifully. I couldn't be happier and highly recommend Jackie and her Weddingstoryva team!

    Beyond Expectation, Superb!

    Jackie is in the business b/c she is passionate and truly wants the bride+groom to have the best wedding they envision. She delivers what she promised and more. My wedding deco with flowers were so beautiful that I still want to cry thinking of it! It was such an elegant wedding :) Jackie respected my taste and understood exactly what I wanted. She supported and delivered what I asked for in terms of design, deco, ambiance, while working with us on our budget. She made my wedding painless and stress-free. My husband and I could easily trust her. Great staff too! Thank you x 100 for making our wedding day so special and beautiful!!
