Hiring Brianne was one of, if not the absolute best, decisions for my wedding day
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.

We Love Brianne!
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 cannot say enough good things about Brianne.

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!

Brianne (Stress Free Weddings) was amazing to work with!
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.We could not have planned our wedding without Brianne.

Brianne is nothing short of a godsend!
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!

Stress Free means Stress Free
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 amazing! When she says Stress free, she means it!

The BEST Decision We Made For Our Wedding Day
I was frozen with decision fatigue when it came to wedding planning. My friend recommended I talked to Bri and we instantly clicked! She was able to find us the BEST vendors for our day even when we were on at time crunch. She refused to let us settle for just "ok" and made sure we were getting everything we wanted for our big day. I can honestly say our wedding would have been DRASTICALLY different (not in a good way) if it wasn't for Bri.
It was a blessing to have her looking at the little details so we could focus on the FUN parts and spending time with each other and our family. Bri was there for the rehearsal and day-of making sure everything ran smoothly and taking on both little/big tasks so they didn't fall on our families.
Bri was so easy to talk to and reach whenever we needed her. I even had a moment of panic while making decisions and she went out of her way to meet with our vendor and take some of those decisions off of my plate. Just knowing she was there to answer our questions, offer suggestions, and ensure we weren't missing anything was such a stress relief.
She will also let loose on the dance floor at the end of the night ;)I was frozen with decision fatigue when it came to wedding planning.

Best Wedding Planner
We’d absolutely recommend Brianne and her team at Stress-Free. She made sure we stayed on track with wedding planning, answered all our questions, gave us guidance and truly made our day amazing. Our day would not have been successful without her. When problems arose, Bri was there to save the day and get us back on track. Her vendor knowledge and recommendations helped us hire our wedding A-team. If I were to do it all over again, Bri would be first on my list.

The BEST wedding planner!
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!I cannot recommend working with Brianne enough!

Working with Brianne was AMAZING! She is kind, professional, incredibly knowledgeable in the industry and an all around great person.

Brianne helped us deal with replanning our wedding in 5 days due to covid!
Brianne was so helpful in helping me plan our wedding. She looked at my reception venue with me to see what all was still needed, helped me create a schedule for the wedding day and shared it with all our vendors, answered countless emails with all my questions, made sure we were on track to get the important things done in time, and gave great feedback and advice! When we had to completely change up all our plans for the wedding only 6 days out because of covid she talked with all of our vendors to get them rescheduled to our new date for the reception, she worked with us to figure out how to make an outdoor ceremony work last minute, called in a friend the night before our wedding to do my makeup, ran the rehearsal the night before, made sure everything ran smoothly the day of, and all while being calm and collected! If it wasn't for her, I probably wouldn't have been able to throw together the wedding ceremony I had or be able to handle the stress of everything the last couple of months! Everyone should have a wedding planner like Bri for their wedding, I just wish I would have found her sooner!!Brianne was so helpful in helping me plan our wedding.

The best wedding day!
We originally hired Brianne to help us on the wedding day however we were grateful to have her help us navigate the issues that came up with Covid. She was quick to respond to our questions and concerns and it was nice to have her checking in with us and providing checklists along the way.

We had a perfect and stress free day!We originally hired Brianne to help us on the wedding day however we were grateful to have her help us navigate the issues that came up with Covid. She was quick to respond to our questions and concerns and it was nice to have her checking in with us and providing checklists along the way.

I think the thing my husband and I would call our best decision when it came to our wedding it would be hiring Brianne.I think the thing my husband and I would call our best decision when it came to our wedding it would be hiring Brianne.Stress-Free Weddings, Inc.'s reply:

A true mentor and wedding planning guru that is necessary for a smooth and stress-free event!
Brianne was a god sent throughout the entire wedding planning process!! She was always available to bounce ideas off of and to ask advice of. She really helped us in every step of the way, being the first vendor we booked! She looked over every single contract for us and was so throughout to account for any possible disaster. She helped us stay grounded and remember what was truly the most important to us within the wedding process & helped us combat any potential family drama throughout planning and the actual day of. The day of the wedding my husband and I didn’t need to worry about a thing! I could relax and hang out with my girls as she dealt with all of the vendors/items being dropped off. She even helped decorate with some last minute forgotten decor! The entirety of the day ran beautifully, and multiple people came up to me after the wedding saying how this is the first wedding they had been to with a planner and how they could see a huge difference in the smoothness and timing of the event. The entire day was truly stress-free, and we couldn’t be more thankful for all of the hard work Brianne did in ensuring the day was just that!! We highly HIGHLY recommend Brianne, as she is the best in the biz and was truly an honor to work with. We couldn’t be more thankful!Brianne was a god sent throughout the entire wedding planning process!! She was always available to bounce ideas off of and to ask advice of.

Amazing and Stress Free
Knowing that the bride to be was finishing up school and planning a wedding was going to be stressful, Brianne was a smart choice. She kept the bride on schedule, provided informative data and was there when needed, even if for an unscheduled phone call.
Day of, her and her team were so helpful, valuable and so calming. She kept the bride and family stress free.
Highly recommend her and her team! 5 stars just isn't enough. 10 stars!

Stress-Free Weddings : aptly named!
Flowers and champagne are for the guests: Brianne handles ALL the business!
Brianne Ackerland has aptly named her business, Stress-Free Weddings. She promises, and delivers, a wedding free of stress for you in every possible way. Brianne takes over all the details, coordinates with all the vendors, manages time lines, provides assurance, sends reminders, makes suggestions, and so much more. An unexpected treat was the way she assumes absolutely all responsibilities, even those regarding difficult relatives. She handles all of this with authority and grace, delivering the promise of a true, stress-free experience.
Brianne is professional, but fun; sweet, but tough; willing to listen to alternatives, but also maintaining authority. The best part is that she will stick with the wishes of the bride no matter what! And I cannot say that enough—no matter what! I do not know what we would have done without Brianne. We live in the South and my daughter lives in Iowa and was able to meet with Brianne before we ever did. Brianne has great relationships with vendors and is well-respected. We did Zoom meetings and emailed a lot, and Brianne helped us along the way. She made it work and in the end, the wedding was beautiful and went smooth as silk!
I would definitely, 100% and without a doubt, refer Brianne to any bride and family planning a wedding. Do yourself a favor and allow a true, experienced professional to ensure you have a gorgeous wedding with your sanity and important relationships in tact! Thank you Brianne!Flowers and champagne are for the guests: Brianne handles ALL the business!

Stress-Free During COVID Wedding Planning and Changes
My fiance and I had a large wedding in the planning stages when we decided to work with Brianne. She jumped at the opportunity to assist us virtually as we were planning a wedding in Iowa from Pennsylvania. From our first virtual meeting, I felt the weight and stress of planning fall from my shoulders (seriously!) as her experience and thoughtfulness put our minds at ease. As the pandemic has surged, we made the tough decision to change our wedding plans. Although we didn't have the opportunity to fully experience Stree-Free Wedding's services, I 100% recommend any couple to seek out Brianne! She was prompt with responding to all of our questions and concerns, and guided us through the changes that COVID had caused for our wedding planning. She even guided us through the vendor cancellation process for each of our vendors as we ended our service with her! I truly believe wedding planners and day-of coordinators are for everyone who wants to be stress free on their wedding day, not just high-end weddings.My fiance and I had a large wedding in the planning stages when we decided to work with Brianne.

We highly recommend Bri!
Brianne was incredible to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process! She checked in monthly and sent to-do lists to help us stay on track. When vendors were hard to reach, Brianne contacted them to set up meetings and to finalize details. She also reminded us of details that we hadn’t considered before. Because our wedding had to change due to COVID-19 local regulations, Brianne made sure we had the most up-to-date information and that we knew how to keep our guests comfortable and safe. She has some amazing resources to keep everything organized like her seating chart and day-of timeline. Our wedding day ran really smoothly and was completely stress-free thanks to Brianne and her Team! She is extremely professional, experienced and fun to work with. We would highly recommend her!
