Sandra Maureder and Stressfree Weddings by SandraM

Sandra Maureder leads Stressfree Weddings by SandraM from Salzburg, with a presence in London. She brings more than 20 years of international event experience to destination weddings in Austria, and she plans every wedding herself, with an assistant team on the ground when needed.

She works with international couples, many of them from the UK, the USA, Canada, China, the UAE and Australia. Planning is done through virtual consultations and clear milestones, while she handles venue visits, supplier contact and practical details in Austria, so couples do not need to travel for every decision. She works in English and German and helps couples across language and cultural differences.

“A wedding should feel composed, not constructed.”

Sandra Maureder, founder

Her work covers Salzburg and Salzburgerland, Vienna, Tyrol and the Austrian Alps, and the lakes of the Salzkammergut, with further venue knowledge in Carinthia, Upper Austria and Styria. Venues she has planned at include Schloss Leopoldskron, Rosewood Schloss Fuschl, Schloss Mönchstein, Schloss Mirabell and Schloss Mittersill, as well as an alpine ceremony on the Pitztal Glacier.

She deliberately takes a limited number of weddings so that she stays closely involved in each one. Her style is described as understated and elegant: the venue, design, food and music are chosen to belong to the couple rather than follow a formula, and multi-day celebrations are planned as one guest experience.

Weddings she has planned have appeared in Tatler, Tirolerin, Weddings & Honeymoons Magazine, Real Weddings, Unser Salzburg and Der Standard, and she was named Best Austrian Wedding Planner 2023 by the publisher of Destination Weddings & Honeymoons Magazine.
