The most important decision I made was hiring Anita and her team!!!! I probably told her that a 1000 times because that day would not have gone anywhere near as smoothly without her. On the day of the wedding having her and her team there and knowing they were handling everything while I just made sure to enjoy each moment was priceless. I'm fairly picky and she made sure every last detail was to our liking. I still remember our first phone call, I got off the phone and called my now husband, and said we need her! She kept us on time without us feeling like we were on a schedule and she made sure I had everything I needed at all times... I mean they pulled out fans, napkins you name it. You know when someone truly enjoys what they do because of how much they care and you can see and feel that when you work with Anita. My biggest regret was not getting a photo with them. Thank you so much to the team xoxox- Rafi & Lousi

I can not say enough about how amazing Anita was to work with. I did not really have much of a plan or idea of what I wanted as originally we were getting married in Cuba.
Anita turned my wedding day into a real life fairy tale wedding, there was not one detail she overlooked right up to a basket of goodies in both the ladies and men's washrooms.
My guest are still raving about how incredible she was and kept everything on schedule.
I would highly recommend that if you are looking for a wedding planner to go above and beyond your vision please give Anita a call and I guarantee you that you will not be disappointed.

Couldn't do it without her!
I chose to use Dreams to Reality for the Day of Coordination for my wedding and I honestly feel it was the best decision I made other than saying yes to my now husband! There was so many obstacles with organizing people and services and Anita and her team took care of everything. All I had to do was look pretty and socialize! I highly recommend her services. Being able to just enjoy your special day and not have to worry about anything behind the scenes is absolutely priceless. Not to mention Anita and her team are easy to work with and make things fun which also alleviates any pressure on the bride and groom! Amazing service!
