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!
