Welcome to Weddings By Bretta!

Hi there! I’m Bretta, and I’m so excited that you’ve found your way to my blog.

If you’re here, chances are you’re knee-deep in wedding planning, and I’m here to help you every step of the way. Whether you’re planning a grand celebration or an intimate ceremony, I’ve spent over 13 years in the wedding industry, helping couples create unforgettable moments. As a certified wedding planner and officiant, I pride myself on crafting ceremonies and wedding days that are as unique as you are.

A little about me—first and foremost, I’ve been happily married for 25 years this June! My husband and I eloped to Negril, Jamaica, just the two of us. It was simple, beautiful, and absolutely perfect for us. I think that’s where the inspiration for my business name came from. I remember telling a friend, “Yeah, we didn’t need a big wedding. We wanted something that was US—simple, memorable. So, we flew off to Jamaica and got married, just the two of us.” That moment made me realize how powerful a personalized, intimate wedding could be, and I wanted to help others create something that felt just as special.

My Favorite Things

When I’m not coordinating weddings, I’m likely enjoying my favorite things—coffee (I can’t live without it), sushi (my ultimate comfort food), or a good book (I’m always reading something). Traveling is a huge passion of mine, too—I love exploring new places, (Italy is among my favorites and Croatia will forever have my heart) and getting inspired by different cultures, and bringing that fresh perspective to my work. Oh, and I can’t forget about my hometown baseball team, the Indianapolis Indians! There’s nothing like catching a game on a sunny day with a Beer in one hand and a hot dog in the other!

I created Weddings By Bretta to share my passion for weddings, offer helpful tips, and provide a space for couples to find inspiration throughout their wedding journey. This blog is not just about wedding planning; it’s about helping you make the best choices for your day, whether you’re looking for detailed guidance or just some inspiration for your big day. I want to offer practical advice, a few laughs, and a lot of support to help you create a wedding that’s uniquely yours. Because that’s how it should be……Your day, Your way!

Thanks for stopping by………now let’s get to some blogging!
