Episode 30: The Wedding Trailer
This is SUCH an amazing concept. The Wedding Trailer is changing the way couples decorate for their big day! Instead of the stress and expense of hiring wedding decorators, or purchasing a bunch of stuff that you will use ONCE and then either keep or go through the hassle of trying to sell – our buddy Carly has found the answer.
The Wedding Trailer is a one stop on line shop where you pick your decorations, your vibe for your big day from their amazing catalogue and then simply pick up your trailer! They’ve thought of everything you need. EVERY package has the “basics” that everyone wants at their big day and on top of that, you have all kinds of amazing options and color schemes to round it all out and make it your own. When you’re all done, simply pack it up and return the trailer!
Tah-Dah!!
It’s so simple!!
You’ll love this show, and you’ll LOVE this concept! It’s new, it’s unique and it’s right here at Our Stress Free Wedding! -
JTR Practical Solutions
You would have a very hard time finding two more wonderful people to not only talk to, but also hire to be your videographers for your big day! Tomma & John and incredibly unique in the wedding industry for a variety of reasons. Just to give you a couple examples, they DO NOT charge for extra cameras and use AT LEAST 3 for every event. They have the ability to LIVE STREAM your big day through their system and as tech stuff goes….. so so much more!
However, beside all of that – here’s something that makes them stand alone. They don’t have to do this. What? That’s a strange thing to say – but it’s true. They are in the business because A. They are incredibly good at what they do but more importantly B. Because they truly love telling helping to tell a couples story!
They don’t need to rely on their business to make a living, and so as a result you get a number of befits – first, their pricing is MIND BLOWING compared to many videographers and second, you get the most stress free experience possible because they aren’t focused on trying to “upsell” you more and more!
This is a GREAT show. My mic got a little wonky at the end, and I apologize – the irony is it happened around the point we were talking about mic quality! LOL but don’t let that stop you. This is a FANTASTIC show with 2 INCREDIBLE and TALENTED people! -

Kayla Scofield is just an amazing person! We spent just a little over an hour with her and could easily do multiple shows just focusing in on some of answers. She is a genuine and sincere person who truly loves what she does. It shows in her work, it shows in her social media and it shows best in her words!
This is truly a wonderful show – you’ll laugh (we did) and you might even tear up a little! Please take some time, watch, love, comment and share! -
Episode 27 Marvelous Mouse Travels - Brittany Demezier
Brittany from Marvelous Mouse Travels! It’s winter, it’s cold and it’s the PERFECT time to talk about warmer places. Personally I have always been a fan of using a travel agent and after speaking with Brittany, I’m even more convinced! We had no idea of the depth of training, knowledge and customer service a great travel agent can offer!
Plus, we answered the number one question on your mind when it comes to cruises….. You’ll be shocked by her answer!
Enjoy! -
Episode 25 VOWS DSM
Possibly the most unique venue in the whole state! Linda with VOWS DSM was great! They can adjust their entire ROOM to your vision (within reason of course) but that includes a MOBILE WALL. If you want something with just the two of you, even on a Wednesday – the crew at VOWS can make it happen. If you want something with some close friends and family, they can make that happen! If you want to throw in dinner and some dancing – yup! They have you covered there too! VOWS DMS is seriously your on stop shop for your big day. They will help you line up your Officiant, Photographer, Catering, and DJ and even put it all together in one simple payment for you!
This place is going to change the wedding industry in Des Moines and how micro weddings are done! Check out this show! -
Talking with Josh from Voigt Media was a blast! It almost instantly felt like he was part of the family! The extroverted, 6ft5 tall, cracks-a-joke-whenever-possible, South African weirdo who'll be spending the vast majority of your wedding day with you! His goal for your wedding? First, is to become your best friend and make sure your day is incredible. Second, is to capture your story in a way that shows off your love as it is today, but also as it will be tomorrow.

Episode 23 I Tie The Knots Wedding from Omaha
We honestly were not expecting the way this show turned out. Carol Lynne is a truly wonderful human being who LOVES what she does and has an incredible story of how she started to where she is today in as a wedding professional.
I Tie The Knots Weddings is unique in the “Officiant” industry because they are so much MORE than just wedding officiants. They offer pre-marriage counseling classes and are among the top rated in the country for their services.
This is a show worth watching and we are working very hard to have Carol Lynne back SOON to dive even deeper into our wonderful conversation.
We loved every minute of this show, we know you’re going to too! -
Episode 22 Arrowhead Photography
This was so great! Marrissa from Arrowhead Photography is based in Waterloo. We have a very cool cross over in that Ultimate Entertainment (another OSFW founding vendor) did her wedding over 5 years ago!
We not only got to dive into her love of weddings, her style and how show works with her couples, we also discussed in greater detail a little vendor “horror story” that Bobbi from Light Inspired Serenity brought up in Episode 21. It’s an amazing conversation and Marrissa had GREAT advice for couples in what to look for in their photographer!
Tune in! You’re gonna love what you see! -
Episode 21 Light Inspired Serenity
Based in Marengo, Bobbi is truly one of the sweetest, down to earth people we’ve had the pleasure of chatting with. She was so nervous to join us, but the second we turned the cameras on, she was “one of the gang!”
We talk about her LOVE of photography, of weddings and she even has a warning based on personal experience while planning her own wedding about some red flags to look for in your choosing your vendors! They ALMOST had a complete disaster on their hands from her and her hubbies first photographer.
We loved talking with her and we know you are going to love this show! -
Episode 20: Ultimate Entertainment
This was a strange show – that’s the only way I can think to put it. For those of you that don’t know, not only am I the founder of Our Stress Free Wedding, I’m also the owner of Ultimate Entertainment! We are one of the largest and longest running full time DJ services in Iowa, coordinating over 50 weddings A MONTH during wedding season and an incredible full time staff of over 20 professional DJ’s.
This is a strange show because believe it or not, I’m not very comfortable talking about…well…me! So instead we focus a lot on UE’s amazing General Manager Michael “Beardface” Grimm, one of the very best, most requested DJ’s at Ultimate and a truly incredible human being and (of course) my trusty co-host here at OSF TV, Andrew Kruse! Also a senior DJ with UE and one of our lead trainers for new DJ’s.
You’ll love the show – we could have gone on for hours but we didn’t! We stayed true to our format and only had a “few” sidebars along the way.
Enjoy the show!

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!

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!

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!

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! - Visa fler
