everyone 

-do attitude. They helped ensure the day was very special!

. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, she asked all the right questions and came fully prepared to our final venue walkthrough. On the day of, both she and her assistant kept everything running smoothly, which allowed us to feel completely calm and present. She organized and set everything out exactly how we asked, coordinated and ran the rehearsal with our wedding party, and managed all communication with vendors so we didn’t have to worry about a single detail. If there were any hiccups, we never knew it, she handled everything seamlessly. Jelena went above and beyond, and we are so grateful for her and her team. I highly recommend Love Story Wedding Events to any couple who wants to actually enjoy their day without stress.

e multiple venues and teams so seamlessly and they handled last-minute changes with ease! Her team was everywhere we needed them, from the hotel to the ceremony to the reception. (Places we didn’t even think we needed!) Jelena was so helpful through the whole process and went above and beyond. She truly made our day unique, personal and perfect!!!

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!

e was seemless to work with. From speaking with our venue and our vendors- to being a hype woman on the day of…. She did everything with a positive attitude & a smile!!! Thank you Jelena & Taylor for helping our day run so smoothly. We are forever grateful!!

day knowing that she was there to ensure everything was going to plan. We opted for Love Story's coordination package, and it was perfect for us. Jelena took over communication with all vendors about 4 weeks out and created a tight day-of schedule. She guided us through wedding etiquette and norms - without which we would have felt lost. We would highly recommend Jelena for any level of planning required for a wedding. She's a gem and we are so grateful to have met her. Thank you again!

cause Jelena and her team were so organized and easy to work with. We truly could not have had a better day!

vendors, all the way through our big day when she helped the day run smoothly. Jelena was timely in her communication, follow up, and organization processes. She supported us through some decision fatigue and was always there to listen as we thought through aspects like our wedding day timeline, how to incorporate aspects of our multicultural wedding, and laughed with us through some of the unexpected aspects of planning. We highly recommend Jelena and Love Story Weddings!

ey took the time to understand our vision and made sure every detail was perfect on our big day. On the wedding day, their calm and efficient coordination allowed us to truly enjoy every moment without worrying about logistics. They kept everything running smoothly, from the ceremony to the reception, and made sure both we and our guests felt taken care of. If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who is dedicated, detail-oriented, and genuinely cares about making your day unforgettable, we highly recommend Love Story Weddings.

the venue walkthrough, and she was in constant communication with us, the vendors, and we were updated on any changes to the timelines, details, etc. She's great at her job, and I was beyond satisfied with her coordination, her expertise, and her cooperation throughout the entire evening. Thank you Mimi for all that you do!

to Jelena's planning and hard work behind the scenes. We highly recommend Love Story Wedding & Events and Jelena for any of your wedding planning needs!!

up to my special day was perfect & even more perfect on my actual wedding day. Not only was she the best wedding planner, but she also became the person I turned to for anything & everything throughout the last 2 years. Whether it was putting my vendors in their place, speaking her mind, or telling me not to stress about the little things. One out of the many things i loved about her is she never stated her opinions unless asked. For all future brides, i cant say this enough but BOOK WITH JELENA….& the best part is, you get a travel agent too!

offered great advice and assistance while wedding planning. She even offered the honeymoon planning service and found us two wonderful hotels in Bali. Jelena helped make our vision of our wedding come to a reality and the day ran so smoothly with her guidance.

h a seamless wedding without her! We are so appreciative of the hard work and organization she brought to the day of. Jelena allowed us to be 100% present on our wedding day and that is truly the best gift we could have asked for. Thank you for being such a wonderful person and for never letting us loose sight of the happiness this day would bring. We are forever thankful!

om one location to another. They were wonderful at coordinating them all prior to the big day. Then, the Love Story team were professional, friendly and helpful to everyone on the day off. They truly helped us have a beautiful, problem free day!

care of. The day of the wedding she was so professional and handled everything, which took so much stress off of me and my husband. It ended up raining on our wedding day and she helped us stay calm while also having to change our ceremony location last minute, which she did so beautifully and efficiently. Our day wouldn't have gone as smoothly without her. I would recommend Jelena to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator!

We chose her full wedding planning service, and she was INCREDIBLE. She is so friendly and easy to work with but will take charge in times of conflict and stress (which is inevitable when you are planning a wedding.) It may be tempting to try and cut costs anywhere you can when planning but I highly recommend not cutting out a planner, she is worth every penny. I met with many planners before I connected with Jelena and after our first zoom call, I knew she was different than the others. She made sure each vendor we selected fit in with our vision and more importantly our budget. She listened and brought our dream to life, even better than we could have imagined. It’s rare to find a planner who is willing to help with any and everything, she even helped me squeeze into my dress and carried my long heavy train in 95-degree weather. Even after our wedding she has kept in touch and made sure we are doing well. Jelena, you were made for this career and are impacting lives in big ways. You are fantastic and I am so excited for the next bride and groom who decide to work with you.

day. In addition, her team was flawless the day of and did so much behind the scenes to make it a day I would never forget!

t I needed from day 1. Constantly sending checklists, or helpful tips/recommendations to help me plan my wedding. She’s so organized and has so much experience, which made me feel comfortable on the day of the wedding. I didn’t worry about a single thing on the day of the wedding because I trusted her to take care of anything or come find me if something needed my attention. I 100% recommend hiring this company. I plan to recommend it to any friends that plan to have a wedding!

lanning stages and made sure our big day stayed on track. Throughout the night, multiple people at our venue complimented us on how helpful Jelena was. I would highly recommend her services to anyone planning a wedding!

y of coordinator and super helpful in ensuring all the vendors were on time and week of communications with all the vendors. I couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out and ultimately how the day went. We definitely had hiccups that occurred along the way but Jelena dealt with all of them and all of our friends/family had an absolute blast! She managed everything with grace and followed up with vendors when things didn't go according to what said vendors said they would do like set up certain things. I would say the service was relatively affordable and would highly recommend Jelena and her team for future weddings and events!

recommend!

the perfect fit. Jelena's attention to detail, adaptability to our needs, and professional yet approachable demeanor left us with an instant sense of confidence. What truly set her apart was her responsiveness, ensuring that no matter the time of day, our questions and concerns were addressed. As our event approached, Jelena's commitment to excellence remained unwavering. She guided us through the process, making sure all deadlines were met, and even joined us on venue visits, providing invaluable insights and suggestions. When the much-anticipated day arrived, Jelena and Joseph were a dynamic duo, fully prepared and ready to orchestrate our event. They seamlessly coordinated with our vendors, keeping everyone informed and focused on their tasks. In fact, I was continually amazed at Jelena's foresight, as she always seemed to be ten steps ahead, for a flawless execution. I cannot sing Jelena's praises enough; I would hire her ten times over for any future event. She acted as the glue that held our event together, allowing it to flow seamlessly and effortlessly. The positive feedback from other vendors post-event speaks volumes: "Your wedding planner and her assistant were simply amazing. I have worked with many planners before, but Jelena's professionalism and expertise truly stood out." Jelena and Joseph embody the epitome of professionalism and proficiency in event planning. Their skills, coupled with their genuine dedication and unwavering commitment, create an unparallel experience. Working with them was an absolute pleasure, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking an event planner who truly knows their craft.

leading up to the wedding. She was so easy to communicate with (responds to text messages, e-mails and phone calls). We ended up adding her clean-up service onto my package and we are SO glad we did. Jelena helped box things up towards the end of the night so my family/friends weren't stuck doing that. Also Jelena has really great communication skills. You might have to have some tough conversations with your venue or with vendors -- Jelena helped me a lot with these and I really appreciated it. My only regret is not talking to Jelena earlier in the process. She has so much knowledge and experience about venues in NWI and Chicago. She can help find exactly what you are looking for.

pop up and Jelena was available right away to handle them. She took the stress of little problems away from us and we had a seamless, amazing wedding thanks to her help!

She was very organized, quick to respond and on top of everything in the weeks leading into our big day. We had and issue with our transportation for the bridal party being delayed and Jelena took control, getting in touch with the driver and getting updates. This would have probably been overwhelming to deal with myself, in the midst of everything, so I was really grateful she was there to deal with and get us back on track. It was a huge relief to have all of the little details handled and be able to enjoy the special moments of the day knowing everything was under control!

that we did not and handled all the moving parts with ease. She made our day run smoothly and we will be forever grateful that Jelena was a part of our momentous occasion. 5 stars all the way!!!

s away!! For starters, she is very communicative, responsive, professional, and kind. We had a bit of a fiasco with our venue and she jumped right in and took over, making sure all of our wants and needs were being met. We had a number of unique decor pieces and described our vision, and she executed setting everything up beyond our expectations! On the day of if anything came up, she dropped what she was doing to be there for us and guide as on what to do or how to handle any situation. Jelena, you are a complete ROCKSTAR! I am pretty sure if we hadn’t hired you that our day would have been a complete mess!!! She kept everything on our timeline and we were even running ahead of schedule!!! If you are looking to hire a coordinator, look no further as you are in the best possible hands with Jelena. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you thank you thank you for everything.

se my venue did not provide someone & my family & friends did not want to help. In my search, I found Jelena! She came with us to the final details meeting with the venue & kept reminding me of things I needed to do for venue which I really appreciated because I would have forgotten with everything going! And the day of the wedding, we had a decent amount of decorations & she made my vision come to life & then some! One minor thing went wrong & she talked with the venue & it handled quickly! I got SO many wonderful comments from my guests on how beautiful the day was & how the decorations were placed so wonderfully! I create that to Jelena & her assistant! ❤️😊

She has great professional input and experience!! She helped me make decisions and gave great ideas that correlated with my visions for my special day! I really do not know what I would do without her! Everyone in the wedding party also agreed she did a great job keeping everyone in line with timeline of the day. ALL my vendors also thought we was very attentive and paid attention to detail and was very good with communication with everyone! She made the scary parts of wedding planning very easy as she has so much experience!! THANK YOU AGAIN!!!

day and Jelena made it go so smoothly. She knows what she’s doing and I couldn’t recommend her enough!

on our wedding day. She helped us execute a beautiful outdoor cocktail hour and assisted with arranging some of the tables for the event. I would recommend Love Story events to anyone looking for a day-of coordinator and know you would not be dissapointed.

uld have ever wanted in a wedding planner and my fiancé and I felt so at ease knowing she was there to help the day run smoothly. She did a wonderful job running the rehearsal and creating a schedule for the day of the wedding to make sure we knew where to be and when. Everything ran so seamlessly and I truly felt like I was able to stop and take in the day!

pecial day one that we will both never forget. Impeccable taste and attention to detail was amazing.

ial experience was a god's send. Thank you!!

g we needed - Jelena was there to support us and took a lot of stress away!
