    Excellent Planners!

    Sincere thanks to Sydney and Sandy for helping to organize our wedding! Sydney was fantastic in creating a timeline that allowed for us to have breaks in between and other vendors were impressed with her scheduling. Sandy was so helpful during our Chinese Tea Ceremony and our relatives really appreciated her knowledge. Everything went smoothly on our wedding day and we can't thank DreamGroup enough!

    1000% Recommend

    We really debated on hiring a planner for our wedding; and let me tell you - it was the greatest decision we made. Sydney Power was a friend from the first day we met on a zoom meet and greet. She rolled with our ever-changing punches over 20 months, and eased every irrational anxiety and worry that came up. The best compliment we received from a guest after the wedding was how relaxed we looked and how much fun we were having on the day compared to other weddings they had been to. We fully credit this to Sydney (and her assistant on the day Laura who also is a GEM).

    Not only did Sydney help us find and pick the most amazing vendor dream team, she helped us navigate family dynamics, last minute venue layout changes, fixed problems before we even knew there was one, and truly became a friend in the process. On the wedding day she was somehow everywhere all at once, setting up our perfect reception space, handling all our vendors and deliveries, and also always there to make sure my dress was perfectly fluffed.

    A week post wedding she is still making sure we are doing well and helping us wrap up all the post-wedding to-dos. We could not have imagined our day without Sydney being a part of it and I cannot recommend her or DreamGroup enough. No matter how Type A or organized you are, having Sydney plan alongside you will be the best decision you make to ensure the wedding planning process and your day is FUN, enjoyable, and not stressful. We love you Sydney! xo

    Best Decision Ever

    Sydney was the first planner we chatted with when we began our planning and we knew right off the bat that she would be the perfect fit for us and we didn't need to look anywhere else. She is a pleasure to work with, with her big smile, bubbly personality, and enthusiasm which made the process that much more enjoyable. It was a magical wedding day and it couldn't have happened without Sydney's expert knowledge and helpful advice, guiding us through logistics, rehearsal and small details we would've never thought about. She is very responsive and coordinated smoothly with all our vendors ensuring our vision was executed properly and all we had to do on the big day was relax and enjoy the moment. I had multiple friends comment on why I looked so stress free leading up to the wedding and my answer was always because we had Sydney on board this year long journey! We would highly recommend Sydney and the DreamGroup team to help plan your big day because it was definitely the best decision we made.

    Thank you so much for leaving this lovely testimonial. Sydney will be so happy! Take care of yourself and each other. xoxo

    My Bridezilla Side Never Came Out

    Wedding planning can bring the worst out of ya: the stress, the challenges, the disagreements…. Guess what? I never had to stress. Brynn from DreamGroup took care of everything. I just sat there and waited for her to come to me with (usually) 3 options of services she narrowed down. Sounds like a minor detail, but trust me, it helped soooooo much. Especially for couples whom both work at demanding jobs.

    Thank you Rebecca for taking the time to share this lovely testimonial! Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness. xoxo

    Couldn't have done it without Brynn!

    Brynn Belisle and Dream Group were wonderful! I can’t imagine having to plan on our own at the best of times but with the added stress of covid, we would have been lost without Brynn. Brynn kept us calm and organized during a wild 2 years of uncertainty, a covid postponement, and a family emergency. She is an excellent communicator and very attentive. Her attention to detail while organizing our timeline was beyond helpful. We felt very relaxed on the day of our wedding knowing we were in such great hands. Having Brynn allowed us to forget about the behind-the-scenes details and be fully present on our wedding day.

    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!

    Olivia - amazing

    We hired Olivia Woolwich from DreamGroup for our wedding back in 2020. We ended up having to postpone it twice and Olivia worked with us so well during that time. She helped us move it twice and ensured we had everything covered for the actual wedding in 2022. She helped us with decor planning, recommendations for party favours and vendors and made the day of experience absolutely flawless. She was a dream to work with and I wish I had another opportunity to use her. She was affordable and very responsive and worked exceptionally hard. We can't recommend her enough.

    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!

    What a wonderful review! Sums it up so perfectly. So happy you felt the love and attention we strive to provide. All the best Emily. xoxo

    Perfect in every way

    Our experience with dream group was absolutely amazing. Jessie was always there for us every step of the way, and was always thinking with our needs in mind.

    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!!!!!!!!
