The best!
Brianne was absolutely amazing as our wedding planner! She was so helpful in recommending vendors that we were very happy with. She always vets out her vendors, which I appreciated, as I was new to the area and really didn't know anyone in the industry locally. She was very patient with us as we navigated the craziness of wedding planning, while also mindful of giving us gentle nudges and reminders when we needed to schedule a meeting or cross things off our list. And she was absolutely wonderful on the wedding day. Everything (from what we could see at least) ran very smoothly. And truly, every vendor we've worked with that knows her swears how much they love working with her, which we also appreciated!

Simply the best!
My husband and I were planning a wedding, selling a house in Iowa, buying a house in Arkansas, moving two dogs and a horse and I needed to find a new job in another state all within 4 months. He was living in Arkansas, I was living in Iowa and we were planning to get married in the Quad Cities. We definitely needed some help. Bri was highly recommended. She was the wedding planner for my brother and sister in law’s wedding and what I remember most was how calm my sister in law was on that day. (Not that she isn’t normally but weddings are stressful!) I am forever grateful for Bri. She was so calming and organized. She helped get us set up with all our amazing vendors and you can really tell she is highly respected within the wedding community. She was always super responsive to our questions and helped quickly sort out any issues that came up. She is amazing at her job but she also is an amazing person. She was a big part of our lives the past 4 months and honestly both my husband and I were sad at the thought of saying goodbye! Like how can I manage now?? If you are thinking of hiring a wedding planner, Bri is worth every penny and more. She is priceless! I highly recommend her!
Brianne Ackerland•Jun 1, 2026It was a pleasure working with you Becca and Phil on your special day. Thank you for your kind words and I wish you both all the best!

The Calm Behind Our Perfect Day
I simply cannot say enough amazing things about Bri! My husband and I could not have asked for a better experience. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and that’s 100% thanks to Bri. She kept us on track with all the little tasks that needed to get done. I wanted to be able to enjoy the wedding day and not have to worry about coordinating the vendors or getting asked questions and Bri took care of all of that. We were just able to enjoy each other and our guests. Bri is worth her weight in gold. Choosing to have Bri be a part of our wedding experience was one of the best choices we made and I cannot recommend her enough.
Brianne Ackerland•Apr 10, 2026Thank you so much Karolyn and Larry for your kind words. It was a pleasure helping you with your special day. Best Wishes to you both!

The best coordinator we could have asked for!
Brianna was an absolute rockstar as our coordinator. You can tell from your first meeting with her that she has extensive knowledge and experience in the wedding business and she gets things DONE. She is extremely organized and truly let us have a stress free day - helping us transform my family’s property into a whimsical venue. She coordinated all of the vendors and timing of their arrival, handled any hiccups in the day, all with grace and professionalism. We would recommend Brianne to anyone looking for a planner!
Brianne Ackerland•Oct 15, 2025Thank you Dana and Dylan for letting me be a part of your big day! Best Wishes to you both!

Experience shines through
Mother of the Bride here—with a short planning timeline and a pregnant bride, this could have been overwhelming. Instead, Brianne guided us with patience, great ideas, and steady reassurance. We are so grateful for how she made the wedding come together so smoothly. Her experience was evident at each step.
Brianne Ackerland•Oct 6, 2025Thank you so much for your kind words. It was an honor to help you plan your daughters big day. Insight from family members on the wedding planning process is so helpful and glad we could be of assistance.
