Rae Ann Weddings & Design

ree for our wedding and from the first meeting to the final moments of our celebration, Lisa made everything seamless, stress-free, and absolutely magical. Stress Free provided us with vendor contacts/recommendations and answered any and ALL of my questions. When the time came, she made a detailed schedule and made sure everything was planned out perfectly. I felt completely confident that no detail would be missed. Even when emergencies emerged, Lisa stayed calm and put out all fires professionally and efficiently. Thanks to the Stress Free team, we were able to enjoy ourselves. I could not recommend Lisa & Stress Free enough whether you want a day of coordination to full service!

r she suggested were A+ and she won our trust very early on. We interviewed around 6 different planners and we are so glad we went with Lisa! She listens to what we want and is not afraid to push back and negotiate on our behalf with the vendors. We were able to enjoy our day since we knew she had everything handled. I would recommend her to anyone!

amily by the end of our wedding planning. We went with almost every recommendation Lisa had, and we felt so heard every step of the way. Lisa was AMAZING! I have told numerous friends/family to check them out. Lisa will always hold a special place in our heart, and I could not be more grateful that she help curate such a special day for my husband and I!

ped us coordinate every single detail you could imagine. She and her team truly went above and beyond for us and have become a second family. They absolutely create a stress free experience allowing you to embrace every beautiful moment of your special day! I did not have a worry in mine the day of my wedding because I knew Lisa was handling everything. I cannot recommend Stress Free Events and Weddings enough!

and handled any mishaps that may have happened without us ever knowing. 100/10 recommend!!!

elpful, took the heavy loads off or me, and became more like a friend than a wedding planner. She knows so many people in the industry and made sure we had the best of the best, while respecting our budget. I couldn’t recommended her more!!! Our wedding day was beautiful, and I wasn’t stressed about a thing.

sband) and I decided on a destination wedding in Las Vegas. Lisa planned everything from where we just showed up at the wedding chapel & said “I do”, to transportation to/from the airport. She doesn’t specialize in destination weddings. However, if she was able to pull of a Las Vegas wedding with no connections in that area, I cannot imagine what she can do in Dallas w/ her resources. 10/10 recommend!

ream. The name of this company is perfect because I really did feel stress free on my wedding day, and a lot of the time leading up to my wedding. Trust me, you definitely want to use them for your wedding!!! :) Thank you so much Lisa, Natalie, and Ashley!

lanning. Their expertise, care, and responsiveness made the entire planning process easy. Our wedding day of 100+ guests and 3 different locations was a perfectly seamless, fun, and personal experience for us and our guests. Stress Free connected us with expert vendors within our budget, who knew each other and worked exceptionally well together, a real "dream team"! I can't say enough good things about Stress Free Events and am so grateful we used them! Be sure to also check out their bridal shop Exquisite Bride for all your dress and veil needs!

! Would use them over and over again if I had the chance. You will be so very happy if you get to work with Lisa and Natalie. Absolutel angels.

the Month of/final 30 days out and day of coordinating for our wedding. There is no way I would have made it through the last 30 days leading up to the wedding without Lisa’s guidance/help. She went above and beyond to help my now husband and I during that final month. She communicates and responds quickly and was so incredibly patient with us and all of our last minute changes. She was also a lifesaver dealing with family issues as arose as well with all of the wedding stress. The day of the wedding went very smoothly! I was able to enjoy our wedding day and truly hand over the reigns to them. I could not have asked for a better team!!

she did not want to hear anything I had to say. She told me over & over again to calm down & she would handle everything day of. I asked about practicing before the ceremony & she said it was unnecessary. I left the meeting upset but my husband reassured me that everything would work out. She said she would take care of it. On the morning of the wedding we showed up & Lisa never submitted the updated seating chart. It delayed us setting up immediately. Questions were asked during setup & every response was snarky & uncalled for. She told me she would assist with set-up and did nothing at all. Folding napkins was the only thing she did all morning- a separate service I paid for her to do. This should have been completed upon her arrival. She sat in the corner of the room with her assistant the entire time we were setting up tables. She never offered to help as she watched my bridal party & I rush to set things up. When we were lining up for the ceremony her assistant was extremely rude to the wedding party. We wanted to go over the ceremony with Lisa at the details meeting but she insisted she had it taken care of. She said she would send everyone out for the ceremony herself. The wedding party was getting yelled at for asking questions & she didn’t go over exiting the ceremony with them at all. Several of the guests weren’t seated until after I already walked down the aisle, she should have been watching for this. She didn’t tell us simple things that a coordinator should- like where to stand prior to going down the aisle/that someone should stand to let the guests know the bride is about to walk down the aisle. Instead my bridesmaids had to ask people to stand. After the ceremony ended, neither of them were directing guests on where to go to cocktail hour. I asked a family friend to go light candles during cocktail hour and she wouldn’t let them in. She rudely told them they had it handled. As everyone was getting their sparklers lit for our exit, the assistant told our guests to “shut up” and then proceeded to threaten them, telling everyone that we will be charged if they didn’t handle the sparklers properly. She spoke to our guests like children. Lisa also casually came up to me stating she “promised” another bride the florals from the staircase that I paid for. She made it seem as if she was doing me a favor when it was a simple removal. It was sneaky of her & very unprofessional. She was focused on this instead of helping get the venue set up. We never got a piece of our own wedding cake because she did not put one aside for us. She did not make sure we had drinks for our toasts- my family did. As icing on the cake, family members shared with us that the coordinator shared her contact information with them after they expressed how beautiful the wedding was. She didn’t explain to guests that the bride & groom actually decorated the venue completely themselves- she took credit for it. You want to be able to trust that your coordinator is there to make your day the best possible. They should have your back. I never heard from Lisa after the wedding. We never received an apology.

s so easy. The day of, she and Natalie helped me envision what my ceremony would look like at our “plan B” location because it was pouring rain and they helped set the scene and made my vision come to life for my wedding. Even in the pouring rain, Natalie went out and grabbed my decorations and brought them in for me so i wouldn’t get wet. They went the extra mile and truly are just so wonderful. I was never stressed out once, or worried about anything since it was in Lisa's hands. I would HIGHLY recommend Stress Free to anyone that is getting married!

ported us the whole time! It was so valuable to have someone that is so connected in the wedding industry in DFW and she made finding our vendors fairly easy. Our wedding day ran smoothly and her assistant was SO incredible and helped bring my vision to life. SFEW is the way to go!

lanning process so easy. The Stress Free Events & Wedding team organized everything and made our vision come to life for my wedding. I was never stressed out once, or worried about anything since it was in Lisa's hands. I would recommend Stress Free & events planning to anyone that is getting married!

everything turned out the way we envisioned it.

ding without her support. We got married on Thanksgiving weekend so at times it was difficult to get setup with vendors since it was a holiday weekend. Lisa was able to pick up, set up all our decor and rentals and drop off and everything looked gorgeous! On our wedding day she made us feel like guests at our own wedding with no stress just the most perfect support. Everything flowed smoothly, the most perfect day! I couldn’t recommend Stress free enough they are so fun and organized. If you are debating whether or not to get a planner or looking for a planner, look no more because Stress Free is where it’s at! Thank you to Lisa and her daughter for making our wedding day straight out of a fairytale without any of the stress!

wrong. They kept everything on schedule, made sure our vendors were where they were supposed to be, started the sparkler exit on time (which at that point, I had a couple of drinks and didn't know what time it was), but she made sure that everything went off flawlessley. I would recommend Stress Free Events & Wedding highly!!

now her brides! (and grooms!). She has superb vendors that she works with and can recommend which are best for each specific wedding. I am really thankful that we used Lisa and Stress Free Events!

m. Arin even kept the groomsmen on schedule, which is no easy feat in our group! We rented table clothes, chargers, and lanterns from them as well to make our wedding vision come to life. It all turned out gorgeous! I highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding!

et them know and rebooked them. Although she was just our day of coordinator, she was there for us months leading up to our wedding. Our day was truly stress free because of her and I would recommend her to anyone!

to deal with any problem that comes up and is only a text message away if you have any questions at all. If you are on the fence on whether or not you should have a wedding planner or day of coordinator, I would encourage you to hire her. You will not regret it, this team is worth every penny!

ressed out bride) to be able to enjoy the day! They are so sweet, and I couldn't recommend them more!

, because I had already planned a lot of the aspects of the day before I decided I needed help the day of. Let me tell you, that was the BEST decision I made for my entire wedding. As soon as I booked them, I felt taken care of but still in control of all of the decisions. They did every last thing that needed to be done and had everything so organized (which I really appreciate). The day of the wedding, everything went so smoothy, and I can almost guarantee it is because they were there to run the show! If you are like me, who liked to be in control for major decisions but needs help with the tiny details.... HIRE THEM. They will make your day as perfect as you picture.

ect before people started to arrive. I am so thankful for them. Thank you all so much for making my day amazing.

nd helped so much when I was getting anxious, annoyed, and *unpleasant*! Her and Arin made our day so incredible! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone planning their wedding!

ue leading up to the wedding, answering all of our weird questions, ordering linens, providing last minute decor, setting up and breaking down the venue, and so much more! Also, with my mom being out of town, Lisa did an incredible job with answering all of her questions and making her feel involved in all the planning details! Lisa went above and beyond to provide an amazing experience for me and my husband! We are forever thankful for her and would highly recommend her to all of our engaged friends!

ike I was working with my mom the whole time. My wedding got moved 3 times due to COVID and Lisa was there every step of the way to help ease my anxiety and remind me that my day will be perfect no matter what. During all the rescheduling, I had a couple vendors that couldn’t accommodate my new date. Lisa helped me get even better vendors to replace those all within my budget. I was extremely grateful. On our wedding day, everything went so smoothly! Truly zero stress the entire day. Her team is amazing too! With the business of the day, they made sure my husband and I were fed and were constantly checking on us and bringing us drinks. I highly recommend Stress Free Events & Weddings!

pful, fun to work with, and beyond flexible. Our wedding did not go to plan when we had to postpone it, or when our makeup artist was unable to come for medical reasons, but Lisa helped make new plans and I cannot stress enough what a relief it was to have Lisa on our team. From rescheduling vendors, to adapting to changes, and what we saw in our wedding video to be a total commitment to putting on a show for our entrance. Hire Lisa, she is amazing, you’ll look back on your vendors and she will stand out as the best player on your team without a doubt.

one i know! Our wedding was at the Olana and she made sure that our wedding felt so classy and on par with the venue.

ding date. Needless to say, I was stressed! After only a few minutes of speaking with Lisa, all my worries began to fade. Lisa brought the vision of my wedding to life -- in fact, she made it better than I imagined! She carefully selected the best vendors for me and never stopped working until she knew I had exactly what I wanted. With the amount of care and attention she gave me you'd think I was her only client at the time (spoiler: I wasn't, she had many!) but I never felt that. Every call, email, and need was answered promptly. What should have been a stressful three months of planning ended up an absolute breeze thanks to Lisa. As for day-of wedding coordinators, I could not have hoped for a better team and support system than Lisa and Tiffany. As to be expected with all weddings, problems arise, however, I had zero clue about any of it all thanks to my Stress-Free team! They handled every problem -- sometimes even before they became a problem! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. Including the surprise firework show that I had planned for my husband and our guests during our first dance. No one else knew about the fireworks except myself and Lisa. This surprise took expert level coordinating as I wanted the show to begin at a precise moment and time. Lisa coordinated with the DJ, photographer, and pyrotechnic team flawlessly. It was a perfect moment we will never forget! I cannot thank Lisa enough for her hard work and dedication to making my dream wedding possible. If you truly want to feel like a guest at your own wedding, look no further than Lisa and her Stress-Free team! The moment you do you can rest knowing your big day is in the best hands.

edge many times through this whole COVID situation. Even with a wedding date change they made all the details come together. My day was amazing! Couldn’t of done it without them!! Highly recommended.

her coordinating team on wedding day were excellent and I can’t imagine what I would’ve done without them! I had no problem trusting them with everything and the day was absolutely perfect! Even my family and friends commented on how impressed they were with the planners. I will always recommend Stress Free Events & Weddings!

our big day. Lisa is a pro and has been doing this for a long time. She gets to know you and your personality and matches you up with appropriate vendors depending on what you tell her you like and her general observations about you. It's very rare that you get this level of personalized service anywhere. After talking with her a few times, I felt like I was talking with an old friend. She keeps it real. If something isn't to your liking with a vendor or a service, she's all over it and makes sure it's corrected ASAP. Seriously I was actually able to feel like a guest at my own wedding and the entire process was pretty seamless. She helped us handle everything from selecting invitations to finding a venue, a DJ, hair and makeup people, flowers, etc. Seriously if you are stressed out about the thought of planning a wedding, please call Lisa at Stress Free Events & Weddings

o with Stress-Free. We could not have been happier with our decision. Lisa was responsive from the initial inquiry and throughout our whole planning process. Through her network of vendors, we were able to create the wedding of our dreams within our budget. Lisa’s industry knowledge allowed us to make sure we were spending our budget on the most impactful items. She had a great relationship with all our vendors and that made everything run smoothly. We decide to do the full planning package and that was a wise decision. Definitely, worth the extra expense. On the day of the wedding, everything went smoothly and without incident. My mom and I did not have to do one thing on the wedding day but focus on getting ready, spending time with our guests and enjoying the day. From the firstlook through the exit, Lisa was in control and made sure everything was perfect. They made the day truly Stress-free. Lisa spent so much time with us and was always available to answer questions and provide insight. She was a wedding planner and a friend. Unlike many of the other wedding planners we interviewed, she is not a florist with wedding planning as a side business. She is uniquely focused on wedding planning and making sure your whole wedding experience is flawless. Since my wedding, several of friends and bridesmaids have asked for her information and will be using her to plan their special day.

my trust in anyone else. Lisa became like family to us. Her partner, Tiffany, is also phenomenal. We did not order enough plates for our reception, and Lisa, without hesitation, went out to buy more to match. She even bought food and wine for the bridal party the morning of when we asked. Our wedding went on without a glitch. I am so happy that I put my trust in Stress Free Events and Weddings. They will make your big day absolutely perfect!!

ring her as a “month of” planner, she was there to provide her expertise and reassurance all along the way. Her level of communication is astounding. And even more so, is her amazing heart. She’s so invested and truly cares about her brides. By the end of the experience, she was like family. I can’t recommend Stress Free enough. It was hands down the best decision I made out of the hundreds of decisions that went into my wedding.

y for things on time, and so many other things that I definitely would have dropped the ball without her. Lisa is SUPER easy to work with and communicate with - she is the perfect mixture of casual and professional! She led us through the big day like a PRO -- it was absolutely perfect - I could not have asked for a better planner and day-of coordinator! I could not believe how beautiful she made my big day! If you need a great planner and/or day-of coordinator, choose STRESS FREE!! You will not regret it!

mend this) and she found our florist for us. Our wedding day was perfect and ran so smoothly. Tiffany was her assistant day of and she was just the sweetest. I wasn’t worried at all about things being exactly how I wanted. It was absolutely stress free.

y of the wedding Lisa made sure everything was PERFECT! I didn't have to do a single thing and I was able to be STRESS FREE. Thank you Stress Free Events & Weddings for making our day perfect!
