Booking wedding vendors can be easier than you think. Learn what to look for and how to select your wedding industry professionals stress free.

Welcome! Do you have your coffee or beverage of choice in your hand? My name is Brianne Ackerland. Typically, my drink of choice is a Carmel Macchiato or Carmel Mocha. I am a wife, mom of two and when my kids ask me who the favorite is, the order is always Dad, dog, then kids are tied. Our cat always comes in last.

From my ABOUT page you learned I take my wedding planner education seriously. When I started Stress-Free Weddings, Inc. I wanted to set myself separate from the pack by making it clear that I have standards for myself, my business, and for my clients.

My goal with the BLOG is to help educate and assist those navigating the wedding planning process by sharing my experience, expertise and real-world application of the knowledge that I have gathered along this journey of being in the wedding industry. Often times wedding planning gets a bad wrap. Or even weddings in general - that will be a BLOG topic for sure. However, there is a way to make it stress free by being prepared ahead of time, or have access to insider knowledge before you jump in. I will share some background information on wedding customs via Wedding History 101. Highlight my real couples, their planning experience, wedding day vendors, and overall feel of the process. And of course, there will be tips on budgeting, creating a seating chart, how to find vetted reputable wedding vendors, timelines, what wedding vendors do and much, much more. So hold on tight to that drink in your hand, or go warm it up, and let’s get started.
