Meet the Energy Behind the Magic: Lakyn Muilenburg ✨

At Storybook Love Events, every wedding day is powered by a team that shows up with heart, intention, and just the right amount of hustle. And if you’ve ever seen someone moving with purpose, a drink in hand, and a plan already three steps ahead… chances are, you’ve met Lakyn.

Officially, she’s one of our Wedding & Event Planners.

The Heart Behind the Hustle

Lakyn is stepping into her third wedding season, having joined the Storybook Love team in the heat of summer 2024 (and thriving ever since 🔥).

She describes herself as steady, passionate, and intentional—a combination that shows up in every interaction, every timeline, and every moment she helps bring to life.

Her role on a wedding day? Simple:

She’s your go-to girl.

If you need something, want something, or didn’t even realize you needed something yet—Lakyn is already on it. She’s constantly anticipating the needs of everyone involved, working to stay one step ahead so the entire day flows with ease.

The Moment That Means the Most

While every wedding day is filled with unforgettable moments, Lakyn’s favorite is deeply rooted in family:

Watching parents experience the joy of seeing their child find love.

It’s a perspective that brings so much depth to the day—because it’s not just about the couple, it’s about the people who have loved them all along.

And if you catch her getting emotional? It’s often during quiet conversations with parents—hearing their stories, their pride, and the love they have for their children stepping into this next chapter.

The Behind-the-Scenes Magic You Don’t See

Couples often think about timelines, décor, and logistics—but there’s a whole emotional layer happening behind the scenes, too.

Lakyn is often gently navigating and supporting mother-of-the-bride and mother-of-the-groom emotions—creating space, offering reassurance, and making sure everyone feels cared for throughout the day.

Because a wedding isn’t just an event… it’s a deeply emotional milestone for an entire family.

Lakyn, Off the Timeline

Lakyn brings the same energy to her everyday life that she does to wedding days—fast-paced, full-hearted, and always prepared.

• ☕ Go-to drinks: A local roasted latte, a giant coconut water, her 40oz Owala, and probably a protein shake (she is a beverage girly, after all 💁‍♀️)
• 🎶 Detail she loves most: The first dance song—because music is a love language, and that song becomes part of a couple’s story forever
• 💛 Instant mood boost: Hearing “I do”—every single time, it never loses its magic
• 🎒 Emergency kit essentials: Chapstick, gum, and (of course) emotional support beverages

And on her rare day off? You’ll likely find her out on a trail with her beagle, Tito—soaking up fresh air and a little reset before the next celebration.

Her Advice to Engaged Couples

Lakyn’s advice is rooted in intention and staying grounded in what matters most:

Make decisions based on what matters to you two—not what everyone else expects. Keep choosing each other through every step of the process.

It’s simple, meaningful, and exactly the kind of perspective that leads to a wedding day that feels authentic and true.

The Details That Tell Your Story

For Lakyn, it’s the personal touches that stand out most—especially when couples create a day that truly reflects who they are.

One trend she’s loving right now?

✨ Intentional, present celebrations—where couples focus less on expectations and more on meaning.

A Wedding Moment She’ll Never Forget

One wedding stands out in her memory:

A breathtaking cathedral ceremony.
A couple determined to perfect their end-of-aisle kiss.
A dress that made the dip a little tricky…

But with practice (and a little guidance), they absolutely nailed it.

A perfectly timed turn and dip—right at the end of the aisle.
A moment that felt straight out of a movie… and one Lakyn will never forget.
