We hired Brianne as our month of/day of planner for our wedding on New Year’s Eve and she did a fantastic job. John and I live in NYC but got married in Des Moines, Iowa. We did all of our planning from a distance here in NY so having Brianne was essential. She did a wonderful job month of the wedding coordinating vendor deliveries and arrival times. Day of the wedding she played the role of wedding attendant as we didn't have a bridal party. She also oversaw deliveries and made sure the reception venue was getting set up properly the day of. I think I'm a pretty organized person (Binders, spreadsheets, etc). and I'm telling you Brianne time and time again thought of and took care of little details that I would overlook. Ps. She also dressed so adorably on the day of the wedding - trendy yet professional. It's the little details I tell ya. Thank you Brianne for all your hard work!
“Brianne time and time again thought of and took care of little details that I would overlook.”
Tyler and I can’t express how grateful we are for Bri and her team for helping with our wedding. We hired Bri to be our day-of coordinator, which did come with a lot of help in the months before the wedding with contract reviews and monthly check-ins. Bri responded promptly to every email and made sure we stayed on track in the planning process. Bri is super organized - with a binder full of information and checklists for every step of the way. Every single day-of detail was planned out and documented. My family RAVED about Bri and was so impressed with the detailed timelines they were given. She is also very knowledgeable about local vendors and gave us many great recommendations that we wouldn’t have found without her help. We can’t thank Bri enough and will always recommend her to any future bride-to-be in the area!!
“Our wedding would’ve been what it was without Bri and her team!”
Brianne was absolutely amazing and I am so grateful to her for helping us execute our vision for our wedding day. We were wedding planning from out of state so to have someone in Iowa helping us was amazing and key to pulling off such a great day. She was very responsive in a timely manner and was able to help alleviate any stress I felt! I have recommended her to friends and I hope they take my advice! They won't regret it!
“She was very responsive in a timely manner and was able to help alleviate any stress I felt!”
Brianne has now helped with two wedding in our family, mine and my sisters, for day of coordinator! She is quick with getting back to you with emails and she is willing to help with even the most out of the box requests. Her and her staff were quick to resolve a small mishap during the reception and I couldn't be more thankful for all she has done! I would highly recommend hiring her team for your wedding. You will not be disappointed!
“She is great to work with, great communicator, and always goes above and beyond to help make your day special.”
