I had the pleasure of working with Fidan as my wedding planner for my destination wedding in Punta Cana, and I couldn't have been happier with the experience. From the beginning, Fidan was extremely organized, responsive, and attentive to all of my needs and preferences. She worked tirelessly to ensure that every detail of my wedding was perfect and that my day was stress-free.
Fidan's expertise in the industry was evident throughout the planning process, and she offered valuable insights and recommendations on everything from venue selection to menu planning. She even suggested the best vendors for photographers, hair and makeup artist, and MC, who all did an amazing job on the day.
Her attention to detail was impeccable, and she went above and beyond to make my wedding day truly special. Overall, I cannot recommend Fidan enough to anyone looking for a wedding planner. She is professional, organized, and truly cares about her clients and their special day. Thank you, Fidan, for making my destination wedding a dream come true!

Just wonderful!
Fidan and her team are wonderful, professional, detail-oriented and kind! We are so grateful that we got to work with Designed Dream team!
Two years ago, before Pandemic, I started planning our wedding in Canada. Googling, I found too many planners and vendors, I felt lost and confused. I looked at Designed Dream profile on google and I trusted the reviews! A great great decision to make and that’s where our journey started with Fidan and her team!
Pandemic happened and like many couples we had to reschedule our wedding not once but twice! Having an international family, not only we had reschedule the date but also we had to change the location of the wedding to Mexico so everyone could travel there easily (given the strict rules of Canada on closing the borders). If Fidan’s positive energy and support wasn’t with us, I would definitely cancel the wedding. She is kind and always available. The whole team made us feel we were the only customer they had (giving us all the attention needed)
Fidan’s also extremely patient and flexible. Given our super busy schedule, she worked hard with us to schedule and plan the dreamiest destination wedding!! Our wedding was beautiful, fun, flawless and memorable! We got so many compliments about it… and I have to say, all the credits goes to this hardworking team.

A True Dream Team!
Milena and Sharaf of the Designed Dream team were incredible to work with while planning our wedding.
They worked with us the month before the wedding and day-of.
I could not have asked for better planners. They were professional, attentive and most importantly, flexible. Although I added some challenges (i.e. not doing a first look and squeezing in a receiving line), they were honest about the downsides, but ultimately made it work as best they could to ensure our day was exactly as we envisioned it.
I also appreciated that they gave us vendor referrals that met our budget and needs leading up to the day.
The day ran smoothly and we were truly able to enjoy ourselves because we knew everything was in the best of hands.
Thank you Milena and Sharaf!

Working with Milena has been so easy. She made our wedding night perfect.
It was after several initial consults and interviews before I landed on Milena Designed Dream events. At our meeting Milena’s demeanor and personality made me feel at ease right away and it was like talking with a friend. This feeling remained consistent throughout the entire process. Milena was very easy to work with through the design process where she came up with great concepts and sourced amazing suppliers. There was a point where I felt like I was burning out and sensing this Milena calmly had me take a week off, guiding me with a soft touch when necessary to keep the process moving.
We had what could only be described as the perfect wedding. At the very least this is what it was to me and judging by comments we received was the same for our guests. Every distraction, delay, permutation, hiccup in the coordination of that day was handled by Milena, calmly. Never did we get even a hint of anything being amiss. It was a phenomenal and beautiful day, both literally from the design and also in our hearts and it was all thanks to her. Milena, we can’t thank you enough.

Excellence in Every Detail
When my fiancee suggested, at an early stage in our wedding planning, that we hire a planner I must admit to being against it. We seemed to be doing fine with it ourselves (really, 95% her!) and I just couldn't see the value in the extra cost of hiring someone else to do the planning. I had no idea how wrong I was! Hiring Fidan was worth ten times what she charged us! Not only that, she now feels like a dear friend who we would be happy to see anytime. She has an instinctive sense of how to deal with people to get everything done perfectly and leave everyone feeling good about it in the process. She was highly professional in every interaction with us, with family and friends, with vendors, and with church officials. Her level of knowledge and sense of style are excellent. She has many contacts with a range of vendors for every aspect of a wedding and they, in turn, are highly reliable, professional, and of the highest quality. She is also a truly warm and wonderful person herself which makes the whole process so very pleasant. In the end, we came to rely very heavily on Fidan, and in return, she helped give us the wedding that was truly a dream come true. Not only would I recommend her I would urge any couple planning a wedding to hire Fidan as soon as possible! She will make your life and wedding better than you know!

Professional, personable, and responsive.
We had the pleasure of having Designed Dream Events (Fidan) as our wedding planner / coordinator in 2021. Fidan is personable, professional, detail-oriented, and responsive. During the planning process, Fidan was exceptional at listening to us and turning our vision into reality. In areas where we felt too clueless to even formulate an opinion, she offered guidance and professional judgement that were precise and helpful. This is what makes her outstanding and separates her from the pack. As an added bonus, Fidan has strong connections with very competent and reliable vendors (florists, DJ, MC, Limo, cutlery suppliers, and much more). On the day of coordination, Fidan and Mandy were flawless and gave us a stress free experience. Highly recommended.

extremely happy with Designed dream Fidan, Mandy and team
I had to move my wedding twice during covid, DD team have always came through for me. They were flexible to work with and they made sure to check in, connect and align with ALL OF MY 15 vendors. This group of women are amazing, I don't know how I could have done my wedding without them. They made sure there was a detailed agenda for the day of and it went without a glitch. I can't ask for a better planning team than this group of ladies. I genuinely would recommend them to anybody who is looking and they are THE BEST team in town. They know what the heck they are doing and they are the best.

The Golden Standard of Event Planning
If you are planning a wedding and debating whether or not you need a wedding planner. Don’t even think twice about it. You NEED one, and you absolutely NEED Designed Dream. I am a control freak and a very type A personality and I did not think I needed a planner. This was one of the best decisions that we made during our entire planning process. We had the pleasure of working with both Millena and Fidan, and all I can say is that these girls are gold. They are so experienced in what they do, they are so organized and effective that they truly let you just be the bride. Both Fidan and MIllena are so dedicated to what they do that they will respond to you literally any time of day to put you at ease, whether that is 5 am or 11 pm. They are there for you every step of the way. We never had to wait more than an hour to get a response, more so, usually it came within 5 mins of writing the text. The coordination that these girls bring to the table is simply incredible. They will coordinate amongst all of your vendors and make sure things that you did not even know had to be done are considered, discussed and resolved before the big day. The thing that stood out to us the most however, was the smoothness that these girls orchestrated on the actual day of the day wedding. There will always be a few hiccups during the celebration of any wedding, but as a bride, I did not have to answer a single question, I did not speak to a single vendor, and I did not have to deal with a single issue. In fact, Millena took care of everything so quickly that I did not even notice a single mishap. Millena took charge and took care of absolutely everything. She made the day completely stress free for us. There were times that I knew we were behind schedule, I would look at her, and she would simply say “you are good, everything is ok, I have everything under control.” And it is that simple sentence that made the wedding what it was. Because she not only said it, but she did in fact have every single little thing under her control. Design Dream is your key to your wedding. Thank you for your work. Thank you for your dedication. Thank you for your talent. Thank you for everything. We could not have done it without Milena and Fidan. We love you!!!!!!

Fidan and Milena,
Thank you both so so much for helping make our wedding day so special!
We are very grateful for all your hard work in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and especially on the day of our wedding.

You guys are amazing and we are so glad to have had you there on our wedding day!!

Can’t Thank Designed Dream enough!
The moment we interviewed with Fidan we knew that she would be the best person to coordinate our special day. She came to our meeting equipped with a sample itinerary and all the pieces needed to hit the ground running. Although it was day-of coordination we were looking for, Fidan and her team started their work much sooner to ensure all contractual obligations were met and the vendors knew exactly what they needed to do and when. The day of, she and Jessica were lifesavers!! They were always there to get what we needed, keep an eye on the time, assist guests and so much more. I knew I could rely on them to have tide to go when my husband got a little pasta sauce on his shirt haha! I can’t imagine how the day would have gone without them!! Best investment!!
