Best wedding planner

Whether it’s a wedding outdoors and indoors, whether you want white flowers or pink flowers, Jackie makes it happen. She kept us updated and was so quick on getting things done. When we asked her to get something she had it done within days. I felt so confident and was less nervous about wedding planning with her. I truly had the most perfect day because of her and her staff. They are professional and straightforward. Trust her in the process. She doesn’t sugar coat to please, she gives her honest advice using her expertise and experience as a wedding planner. When I wanted to do something or wanted something for the wedding, she made sure she gave her two cents so that I could make a better decision for the wedding and it turned out to be flawless. I couldn’t recommend her services more to someone looking for a planner. Truly went above and beyond. 100/10!

The most beautiful wedding

We had our daughter Ashley and our son-in-law Eric’s wedding at the Ritz-Carlton on October 26, 2025, and I truly do not know how we could have handled every detail without Jackie Yu from Wedding Story.


From the very beginning, Jackie Yu guided us through every step with so much professionalism, patience, and care. She handled everything—from flowers, hair and makeup coordination, photography timelines, and guest management—down to the smallest details. There was nothing she overlooked.


Even after the ceremony, she thoughtfully wrapped the florals and handed them to our guests as they were leaving. Every guest felt cared for, and many told us it was the most beautiful, magical “fairytale wedding” they had ever attended. Some even said it was the best wedding in history—elegant, tasteful, and perfectly executed.


Jackie Yu also assisted us during hotel negotiation and vendor communication, making the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. Her experience truly made all the difference.


We are so grateful that Jackie was part of our special day. We highly, highly recommend Wedding Story to anyone who wants a beautiful wedding that is not only stunning but also flawlessly organized.


Thank you Jackie. You truly made this day unforgettable.
— Ashley & Eric’s Family

Fantastic Experience - Highly Recommend!

Jackie and her team at Wedding Story turned our wedding vision into reality — and made the entire journey such a joyful experience. Her team was absolutely amazing from start to finish! From day one, she guided us through every step — helping us find the perfect venue, caterer, and our fantastic DJ Eddo, who kept the energy going all night!

Planning a wedding long-distance from two different states could’ve been stressful, but Jackie made it effortless. She met with us monthly — whether over video calls or in person — always making sure we were on track and at ease. Her experience, organization, and trusted vendor connections saved us so much time and stress.

On the big day, Jackie and her team handled every detail behind the scenes so flawlessly that we were able to be fully present and truly enjoy every moment.

We were also completely BLOWN AWAY by the stunning floral arrangements provided by Wedding Story — they transformed the venue into something truly magical! Our family and guests couldn’t stop raving about how gorgeous and enchanting everything looked!

We are endlessly grateful to Jackie and the entire Wedding Story team for bringing our vision to life so beautifully. We can’t recommend them highly enough!

Highly recommend!!

Hiring Jackie and her team was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, it was clear how much knowledge and expertise she brings from years of experience. She guided us through the planning process, gave us advice we didn’t even know we needed, and helped us feel confident in every decision.

She has such great relationships and connections in the wedding world, which made booking some of our vendors so much smoother. Thanks to her recommendations, we ended up with an amazing team who all worked together seamlessly on the day of our wedding.

Beyond the logistics, what really stood out was how organized, reliable, and attentive she was. On the day itself, she handled every detail behind the scenes so flawlessly that we were able to enjoy every moment.

If you’re looking for someone who not only knows the industry inside and out but also truly cares about making your day stress-free and beautiful, Jackie is the person to hire. We’re endlessly grateful for all she did for us and can’t imagine our wedding without her.

Great experience

Jackie is one of the most responsible and reliable people I’ve ever worked with. I truly don’t know how anyone plans a wedding without someone like her. I’m forever grateful for her help and unwavering support throughout the entire planning process. She was always quick to respond and went above and beyond to bring my vision to life.

What sets Jackie apart is how genuinely she cares. She doesn’t treat you like just another client—she sincerely invests in you and your wedding journey. As a bilingual planner, she was also able to communicate seamlessly with my Korean parents, who appreciated her for her professionalism, and thoughtful mannerisms.

I also rented my dress and arranged my flowers through Wedding Story, and everything exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Jackie, and the entire Wedding Story team, for making my wedding experience so smooth and special!

Amazing AAPI small business wedding decor vendor!

From the beginning, Jackie Yu was fast and personable! The wedding prep frenzy can be intense and it's easy to lose track of which vendors you reach out to or flag which ones to follow up with, but Jackie reached out to me via email/cell so remembering Wedding Story was super easy.

Scheduling our consultation and discussing our vision was also a painfree process. One thing we really loved was how she stayed within our budget and I never worried about having to sacrifice a lot to achieve my dream wedding aesthetic. Additionally, when I told her about my concern having my cat at the wedding (who loves to eat all flowers) she made sure that the faux flowers would be stunning and that incorporating non-toxic flowers in case my cat nibbled on them would not result in an emergency visit to the vet!

Perhaps most importantly, when it came to executing my bespoke vision for my wedding, Jackie and her team delivered the results in such a timely and fast way. I was floored by the final design, which was monochrome, surrealist, very trendy, but also majorly timeless -- all my wedding guests were blown away by the impact they created, even with 95% silk florals! She really sourced the highest quality flowers to use because not all fake flowers are the same.

I cannot recommend her enough for your event!

Highly impressed

The Wedding Story team was amazing. They helped create the most beautiful wedding for us. From renting the gown, accessories, decorations, flowers and details, they made our day so memorable and special. Jackie and her team were super responsive, supportive and I can’t thank them enough. The flowers in particular were stunning. They ensured the wedding flowed smoothly and everything was flawless! Even on a short timeframe (4 months). I was so impressed. Highly recommend.
