Hiring Brianne for partial planning and day-of coordination was one of, if not the absolute best, decisions we made for our wedding day.

It was really important to me to ensure my fiancé, our families, and I were able to fully enjoy the wedding day without worrying about or being responsible for anything pertaining to the event setup or vendor coordination. Brianne absolutely exceeded this expectation, making sure our wedding day functioned flawlessly. We had the added challenge of planning our wedding from afar as neither me nor my fiancé live in Iowa and Brianne had tons of experience supporting with “destination” weddings from other couples in similar situations to us.

When we first began working with Brianne, she provided a list of trusted vendors that she had first-hand experience working with. This was so helpful since I had no experience with any wedding vendors in Iowa. We booked the majority of our vendors based on her recommendations and to no surprise, they were all incredibly professional and exceeded our expectations on the day. Of the vendors we booked on our own who hadn’t worked with Brianne before, they were all incredibly complimentary of how organized and communicative she was. Many of them mentioned that her support made their job easier and helped them enjoy the day even more which I loved!

Throughout the entire process Brianne made it clear that she was there to execute on me and my fiancé’s wishes for our wedding and would not waiver in the face of tricky family dynamics. Not only did she stay true to her word on this, but she did so in a way that didn’t throw me or my fiancé under the bus which I am so grateful for.

She went above and beyond on multiple occasions, including printing the seating chart and bringing it to the venue, filing the marriage license for us, and even giving me, my fiancé, and some of the wedding party a ride back from rehearsal when we couldn’t get an Uber.

Brianne and her assistant, Ellie, were the keys to our wedding day running smoothly and I know without a doubt that their planning and coordination helped everyone (guests and vendors alike) have a great experience which was my top priority in planning our wedding.

Throughout the entire process Brianne was professional and pleasant to work with. She is extremely detail-oriented, communicative, polite yet direct, and easy to be around.

If you’re looking for a wedding planner and/or day-of coordinator in Iowa or Illinois, I really cannot recommend Brianne enough!

We were uncertain if we would need a wedding coordinator, but the first meeting with Brianne answered questions we had and made us consider factors that had not crossed our mind. It was evident that her expertise would be a blessing for our planning and day of coordination. I appreciate her guiding us, helping prioritize what is important, and getting to know us as a couple.

Our wedding day was truly Stress Free. Even when we realized I forgot my veil at the hotel, Brianne and her assistant were on it! Her timeline skills were impressive. We really did not need to think about anything the day of our wedding other than being present, which is exactly what we wanted. Please hire Brianne for your wedding, it will be the best decision.

If you’re looking for a wedding planner Bri should be the first to check availability! We crossed paths with Bri at the 2024 Jaycees wedding expo. We are so thankful we did! Like most brides I wanted a perfect, smooth, beautiful wedding. We were upfront that my husband and I procrastinate everything, but this didn’t stop Bri! Even when we felt behind we knew that Bri would help us with whatever we needed. She made everything seem effortless! Once we got to our wedding day we didn’t have to do anything except focus on ourselves and enjoy our day. We are so thankful to Bri for leading the team that made our wedding day magical!

We cannot say enough good things about Brianne. Coming from someone who literally was a giant stress-ball for our 18 month engagement, I had no worries the day of our wedding. I knew that if anything happened, Bri would handle it. Throughout the planning process, Bri’s monthly checklists were super helpful to ensure nothing was missed. The day of the wedding, Bri and her assistant were absolute rockstars. It was so nice to not have to worry about anything but enjoying our day. We are so grateful for Bri being a part of making our day perfect.

We could not have planned our wedding without Brianne. I tell everyone to get a wedding planner. It was the best decision we made. Her knowledge of other vendors made our decision making so much easier. Her monthly checklists kept us on track. The day of the wedding she handled everything so we didn’t have to worry about anything but walking down the aisle.

Brianne (Stress-Free Weddings) truly made our wedding day perfect! Everything about our day ran so smoothly all because of her. She is so thorough and goes above and beyond any expectation. She put so much time and work in just to make sure our day was everything we wanted and more. Not only just the day of, but she made the planning process leading up to the wedding go smoothly also. She has so much knowledge and has the best recommendations when it comes to vendors and planning in general. She saved us and our families so much stress, and I seriously can't recommend her enough! I could not have imagined my wedding without her. We are so thankful to have found such an amazing wedding planner! 10/10!

Our wedding day was an absolute dream come true, and we owe it all to Brianne! From the very beginning of our wedding planning journey to the moment we said, "I do," Brianne was there for us every step of the way. We cannot express our gratitude enough for the incredible work she did to make our special day perfect. If you're looking for someone who is passionate, organized, and will make your wedding day stress-free and unforgettable, Brianne is the one you want by your side.

Brianne is amazing! When she says Stress free, she means it! We planned our Iowa wedding from New Jersey and I couldn't have imagined doing it without Brianne. She is well organized, extremely experienced/knowledgeable, and has a roster of vendors for you to choose from to make sure you get everything and anything you need.

I don't think we would have been able to plan the weekend (she also helped with the rehearsal dinner and general transportation) with out her. I am 100% confident in recommending her to anyone planning their wedding!

Brianne is nothing short of a godsend! She was incredible to work with, and we would hire her again in a heartbeat. Brianne helped us plan and execute an exquisite multi-cultural wedding in a relatively short period of time. She is prepared, communicative, caring, and supportive. She kept us organized and broke down our to-do lists into manageable pieces. She helped us find our vendors and was the point of contact for all of them. She attended meetings with us with the vendors and gave us advice when it came time to make decisions. We wouldn’t have been able to do this without her!
Our wedding consisted of two ceremonies in one day (Hindu in the morning and Jewish in the evening). Brianne was knowledgeable about both cultures and coordinated with the priest and officiant to ensure everything went the way we wanted it to. She even brought multiple assistants on the day of the wedding which helped it all run smoothly.
We can’t speak highly enough about Brianne! We would recommend her to everyone we know. She really went above and beyond. We were asked all night by our wedding guests who our planner was because she did such a phenomenal job. The only sad part about being married now is that we don’t get to work with her anymore. Hire Brianne, you won’t regret it!

I cannot recommend working with Brianne enough! Our wedding had to be postponed due to COVID, a deployment, but our wedding finally happened two years after we had originally scheduled it for in 2020. Brianne was amazing throughout the entire process, she was kind, supportive and understanding of the circumstances. She helped us every step of the way, whenever we had questions she was there ready to answer them. The day of the wedding, she was a lifesaver! We didn't have to worry about anything besides getting ready and spending time with our family and friends. You will not regret hiring her as your wedding planner!
