Our Stress Free Wedding

Episode 19 P-H Productions

We had a fantastic conversation with Patrick, his amazing wife Holly and one of their DJ’s (DJ Hatter) for the latest episode for OSF TV. Patrick has been involved with weddings for over 15 years, starting before he turned 18! DJ Hatter has been a wedding pro for 13 years and Holly (who we suspect is the one really in charge! LOL) now heads up their incredible Royal Crown Photo Mirror team!

It would be hard to find 3 more down to earth, truly wonderful people than the crew at PH Productions!

It’s a great show – we loved talking with them and we know you’re gonna love what you see!

This was so much fun! Sara is talented beyond words – I had never heard of string art until we met and I’m blown away! If you’re looking for something unique for either your big day or a gift for someone else’s, you NEED to experience this show!

Oh and there is a GIANT surprise ending……

I know we say this a lot – but this is a fantastic show! Shane from “Smiling Dog Entertainment” is one of the FIRST people I thought of when I still putting Our Stress Free Wedding together in concept. The level of excellence and quality that Smiling Dog has is outstanding!

They truly set the bar in the photo booth industry - Smiling Dog Entertainment is the premier provider of event and party related services in Iowa, northern Missouri, southern Minnesota, eastern Nebraska, and western Illinois. From barn to black tie, family to corporate, we’ve got entertainment and equipment options sure to bring more fun, smiles, laughter and love to all your guests!

We cover so much more than their photo booth services during our conversation. You’ll get a very cool heads up for something brand new coming from the Smiling Dog family – it’s a do not miss kinda show!

We had such a fantastic conversation with Sierra & Danny! They are a wedding “power” couple based in Tama. Sierra owns Eventful Happenings – a wedding planning & event service and Danny owns CzechMix Cool DJ Tunes. They can work together or individually, but either way – you are going to love what they have to say!

We went in to incredible detail about the “why” they do what they do! It’s not the money, it’s the LOVE of helping couples create their perfect day! Both Sierra and Danny are two of the most down to earth people we’ve had the pleasure of meeting.

If you are struggling with finding either a wedding coordinator – both full service and even day of or looking for a DJ and are on a tighter budget? You do not have to look any further. Check out this show, trust me – within the first few minutes you will see the love that they have for what they do and THAT is what makes the difference for your big day!

We had a fantastic conversation with Grace from GracieLou Photography out of Marengo Ia. She’s amazing! Grace is truly “living who she is” – there is no false front to try and fool you into thinking she’s someone she isn’t. She sings, she teaches, she loves her family, her chickens AND her clients!

Grace has been a photographer for about 10 years now! She photographs everything from weddings to adoptions to boudoir to parades. Grace obtained her bachelor's in photography and then her masters in elementary teaching. Along with being a teacher, I am a tattoo artist, journalist, musician, d.j. mother, wife, and plenty more!

Grace is 100% focused on you and your big day and we have the show to prove it! You’re going to love our conversation about her wonderful talent, and even enjoy the occasional “side trip” into fish, chickens and more!

Episode 14 CM Planning Co

We had an amazing conversation with Carolyn from CM Planning Co! Even though she’s based in Chicago, she has her roots here in Iowa. She is a fully accredited Wedding & Event Planner through the Wedding Planner Society and a certified “Timeline Genius” both are part of the largest community of wedding planners is the world’s leading certification program for wedding & event planners.

Carolyn is great! Although she’s based in Chicago, she still loves working with couples here in Iowa to help make their day as amazing and stress free as she can! One of the neatest little “moments” of our conversation was how she shared that she’s going through this crazy process herself too – planning her own wedding while she is busy helping others.

You have insurance for your car, your home and of course, yourself – Carolyn gives you so many fantastic reasons to have the “insurance” of a professional, certified wedding planner too!

It’s a great show, trust us!

Colby Campbell photography is one of a kind! We had an incredible conversation about his philosophy, his style and most important, his absolute LOVE for wedding photography and his clients. We originally planned on an hour together – but trust us – after watching this show, you are going to wish there was even more!

It’s Electric Entertainment is dedicated to making your event the experience of a lifetime. With custom song requests, your very own online client portal, intelligent lighting, and so much more; let us know how we can make your next event an experience!

We had an incredible conversation with Logan – he has a true and sincere goal of making a couples dream come true and when you combine that with his wife’s talent of being a fully accredited and certified Wedding Planner, you have a powerhouse of talent all focused on making the biggest day of your life as stress free as possible from your first conversation to your last dance of the night!

We also had a little “bonus” conversation about their newest venture…… you’ll just have to watch the show to learn more!

As their Facebook page states: “We truly believe that getting to know our clients is the best way to understand how we can best serve you.”

They mean it, and we can prove it!

We LOVED talking with Alex from NOTA Dj Service! As a DJ with over 30 years’ experience personally, I love meeting other DJ’s who share the same focus and dedication that I have to make their couples day be PERFECT from the first second music begins playing through the end of the night.

Alex with NOTA DJ services from Sioux Center Iowa is the perfect example of what you should look for….what YOU deserve on your big day!

Don’t believe me?

Do 2 simple things, read any of his 94 5 star reviews on his Facebook page or, just (better yet) watch this episode!

Check this out:

“All I have to say is WOW. Alex was absolutely amazing and everything about our wedding was made perfect because of him! He worked with our other vendors, kept it so professional, looked amazing and went above and beyond what we could’ve ever asked for. 110% use NOTA for everything!!!”

That’s just ONE of 94 back to back 5 star reviews and we will prove why he deserves every one of them!

If you are considering having a videographer for your big day – THIS is a show you should watch. Jake Buss is easily one of the very best in the business.

So many couples make the “mistake” of trusting a “friend with a great camera” or Uncle Bob’s phone to record the biggest day of their lives! Please don’t do that! Before you make any decisions, listen to what Jake has to say.

We go into great detail about how your videographer AND your photographer work hand in hand. Your photographer will capture the “moments” the videographer WILL TELL YOUR STORY!

Trust us, videography is an art form few can do – Jake has the experience and more importantly the love of the wedding industry and his couples to do the job the right way!

When you think of a videographer, you think of a person with a video camera, right? WRONG! How about some who is fully licensed to operate a drone or uses up to FIVE cameras during the course of your big day to be sure to capture every angle, every moment, every part of your STORY!

This is a must see show my friends, trust us!
