Behind the Brand  //

Meet Heather McGranahan

My happy place is being surrounded by books which is evident given that my office shelves are overflowing and I spend most of my time there. I’m a full chalant Virgo who has no chill and doesn’t know how to be casual about anything. I dive headfirst into all of my hobbies and fully embody being a jack of all trades. I live in Indiana with my amazing husband and our three dogs. Any conversation with me will most likely involve Taylor Swift lyrics and movie quotes. If I’m not at home or the bookstore, you can probably find me wandering through an antique store trying to convince my husband we need that vintage library catalog cabinet that quite obviously won’t fit anywhere in our house.

CLIENT LOVE

"Before working with Heather, we thought we had seen all there was to see in Chicago. We were worried that we wouldn't find anything new to do! But after receiving the most detailed itinerary filled with opportunities, we discovered hidden gems we never knew existed. Now, we can't imagine planning a trip without Heather's expertise. It was like seeing Chicago for the first time all over again."

Weekend in Chicago

Allie & Austin

"Last weekend, we checked a big adventure off of our bucket list. We took a family trip to see the Grand Canyon! We had SUCH a good time! Thank you Story Booked Vacations for helping get this planned!"

Grand Canyon, AZ

Susan & Family

"If anyone is thinking about taking a vacation, I highly recommend talking to Heather McGranahan. We told her where we were interested in going and what things we'd like to do and she did the rest. She did all the research and gave us ferry schedules, a detailed itinerary, and things to know before left. And she was available to call/text while we were traveling if anything came up."

Anniversary trip to St. John

Kari & Chris

"Although we were only there for a few days, we made the most of it and had an incredible time. Your guide was so helpful and we had some awesome opportunities. Thank you so so much for the guide you put together! I so appreciate it!!!”
