Love Story Weddings and Events

Jelena and her team were extremely professional, high quality, innovative, and caring throughout our entire wedding planning process. We met with Jelena monthly over zoom for check ins starting about a year out from the wedding, but she always made herself available for those last minute emails and texts if needed. She came up with the perfect ideas when we needed them, but also respected and encouraged our own plans. The price for her services is well worth the investment for anyone uncertain if they need a wedding planner. One thing we absolutely don't regret after the wedding chaos has died down, is hiring Jelena.

Working with Jelena and the team at Love Story Weddings was truly one of the best decisions we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. From our very first interaction, she was organized, communicative, and so thoughtful about every detail. Our wedding day ran absolutely flawlessly — not a single thing went wrong — and that is 100% thanks to Jelena’s incredible coordination and presence behind the scenes. Jelena brought such joyful, positive energy to the day. She wasn’t just a coordinator— she felt like a true partner and friend throughout the experience. She made sure our parents were well taken care of, checked in on me as I was getting ready, and kept the entire vibe light, happy, and stress-free. She coordinated with all of our vendors ahead of time, finalized timelines, and made sure everyone was on the same page. She updated our DJ on last-minute song changes without us even having to ask, and managed our large bridal party with ease — making sure everyone knew where they needed to be, when, and what to do. That alone was no small feat! One of the most memorable moments was the room flip — it was absolutely magical. Every little detail I had requested was incorporated, and seeing our reception space for the first time truly took our breath away. We are so grateful to have had Jelena by our side and would recommend Love Story Weddings to any couple looking for a coordinator who is not only highly skilled, but also kind, warm, and a joy to be around. We could not have imagined our day without her!

WE LOVE JELENA!! My team photographed a wedding with Jelena in metro Chicago at Ravisloe Country Club. From the moment she introduced herself, she was professional and warm and knew my couple was in great hands. She was organized, there when we needed her but most importantly went above and beyond her scope of work to make sure our couple had the perfect day. If you’re looking for someone organized, professional and personable, Jelena is who you want on your wedding day team!

Hiring Jelena was easily one of the best decisions I made during my wedding planning process. I used her Coordination services and it was incredibly helpful to have her checking my planning work and making sure everything was good to go leading up to the wedding, then having Jelena and her team onsite day-of to keep everything running smoothly. It made my wedding day completely hassle-free for me and I am so grateful to the Love Story team! Thank you, Jelena!!!
