If I could do it over I would hire Jill 1000 times and pay twice as much. She did such an amazing job and was an integral part of our special day. Anyone looking for a wedding planner look no further!

Truly above and beyond

I cannot day enough about our wedding planning experience with Jessie. From start to finish, Jessie was literally my life saver. From a new bride navigating a huge event that I had no experience in planning before, Jessie helped to guide me through all the right steps at the right times. My husband and I had a mixed Ismaili/Christian wedding and were also planning from out of country! Jessie often knew more about customs and traditions than we did. Her cultural sensitivity was such a nice touch to have in a wedding planner and went a long way for us. She was incredibly organized (a dream for anyone who has a type A personality), ridiculously responsive to emails or texts, and such a darling sweet lady to work with. Jessie implemented so many thoughtful little gestures or favors throughout the planning process (like giving us the name of her family friend cake baker when we couldn’t find a reasonably priced cake) that really solidified the entire reason we went with her in the first place. I know it’s tough to navigate who the right planner is for you, but I strongly strongly encourage you to work with Jessie at dreamgroup if you want to ensure every little detail is thought of from start to finish. We love her and would work with her again in a heartbeat!

Dream team with Dreamgroup!!!!

The name "dreamgroup" clearly holds up- a million thank yous to Geneve McNally and her team's hard work and devotion to making our wedding as special as it possibly could have been!!! WOW to the whole experience - Geneve was there whenever I needed her and was a fabulous communicator to so many different kinds of vendors. She helped us put together a killer professional team and worked crazy hard on the wedding weekend, making sure every detail was accounted for on the back end, while still making sure I had a drink in hand! Her enthusiasm and open heart made it fun and meaningful the whole way through! We are on cloud 9 and will cherish these memories forever!!!!!!!!

We had a great experience from start to finish with Dream Group Productions. The number one piece of advice everyone gave us from the start was to hire a wedding planner and I could not agree more. We had Brynn Belisle as our planner and she was absolutely wonderful to work with. Being someone who values communication, responsiveness and organization I was truly impressed with Brynn's attention. Brynn was there by our side throughout the entire process and made everything so easy for us. Leading up to our wedding day we felt happy, relaxed and ready knowing everything was taken care of and in the hands of a true professional. Brynn helped bring our vision to life and we are so thankful and so lucky to have found her. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a planner, not only is she beyond capable but she is such a pleasure to work with.

Thank you for this lovely note. We adore hearing not just how good it was but why! It reinforces what clients need and want from their planning experience. I’ll make sure Brynn sees it!! All the best in love and life! xoxo

Flawless coordination

My husband and I were so thrilled with our choice to hire Dream group to help pull off our big day. Jill was our event coordinator and she made the whole wedding planning process a breeze. She was an excellent communicator, was very organized and detail oriented, professional and so wonderful to work with. Jill made everything flow seamlessly during our wedding and helped troubleshoot minor hiccups as they came along. She was able to execute our event exactly as we had imagined and we are forever grateful to her and the team.

We had a fantastic experience with Dream Group Productions. After realizing we were in over our heads with trying to plan things on our own and juggle our work schedules we met with Kelsey and were instantly impressed by her warm demeanour and excellent planning skills. Kelsey did a great job of understanding the kind of wedding we want and what was most important to us. Our wedding day could not have been better. I truly don't know how anyone could manage to pull off organizing those family photos without a wedding planner. Kelsey was such a great part of our wedding day and truly made our vision come true. We could not recommend her services more!

I had Brynn Belisle as my wedding planner because I didn't have the time to plan my own wedding given my hectic school schedule. Brynn really helped alleviate a lot of anxiety and stress around wedding planning. She is easy to work with, very friendly, and pleasant to be around.

Having a day-of coordinator was one of the best decisions my husband and I made for our wedding! After having our first meeting with Alexa from DreamGroup, we instantly knew we wanted her to be a part of our wedding! Throughout our wedding planning, Alexa was extremely organized, positive, professional, and a pleasure to work with! She was on top of everything, and provided us with so many helpful ideas on details we wouldn’t have even considered. She was quick to answer any questions and provided us with constant support and reassurance.

The weeks leading up to our wedding, my family couldn’t believe how stress free we were and we can honestly say this was because of Alexa. She kept in contact with our vendors, created a detailed schedule and was enthusiastically involved with everything. She put so much hard work into making our wedding the best it could be that we knew our wedding was in great hands. This was important because it allowed us to be able to relax and enjoy our wedding with our friends and family. The day of, Alexa and her assistant did an incredible job setting up our décor, ensuring the day ran smoothly, and with making sure our day was extra special. Alexa checked in with us throughout the day and even loaded all of our gifts and décor into our parent’s vehicles. We were told countless times by our loved ones how amazing Alexa was!

We couldn’t have been happier with Alexa as our coordinator. She went above and beyond our expectations and we don’t know what we would have done without her! We highly recommend DreamGroup, especially Alexa!

Brynn is a superstar Planner!

If you truly want to enjoy your wedding day you NEED to hire Brynn at DreamGroup. I am quite unorganized and get overwhelmed with planning anything so when I got engaged the first thing I wanted to do was find a wedding planner (we wanted the full planning package). We were referred to DreamGroup by a friend and when I read Brynn's bio I was instantly drawn to her. When my then Fiancé and I met her every word was true about her personality- she was very warm, calm and friendly. Over the 14 months of working with her she proved to be extremely supportive, patient and approachable about anything! It's hard for me to describe in words what Brynn did for us. We showed her our wedding vision and she created a detailed budget, timeline and introduced us to all of our amazing vendors. As the months went by Brynn gave us a guideline and we ticked things off our list. When I think about it now it felt so stress-free planning our wedding with her by our side. She has a way of making you feel so confident and calm about the whole process.

Fast forward to our wedding day. I woke up feeling excited to walk down the aisle, I did not stress once about any detail that could go wrong because I knew Brynn was orchestrating our day. She also had two amazing assistants working with her- Alexandria and Brin. The three of them working as a team was phenomenal. I dreamed and visioned this day for so long and I can say that reality was BETTER than my dream! Our wedding day exceeded our expectations in every way because of Brynn and we are so thankful to have met her. She feels like a friend to us rather than a wedding planner and we will truly miss her!
