Lousi Married on 21/08/2021THE best!!!
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-

Katie S. Married on 21/09/2019Very detailed and extremely helpful
Anita helped to calm all pre wedding nerves, set a detailed time line and execute our perfect day. On the day of she was on top of every detail, arranging vendors and ensuring our guests had a great time. Great choice to hire Anita! -

Marie M. Married on 09/09/2019I 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.-

Jessica Married on 07/09/2019Couldn'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!Dreams to Reality - Anita's Events's reply:
Thank you for your beautiful review. Truly was a blast and you looked stunning!!! I loved all your pictures and especially the one below ;)
Much love and happiness forever.

Shannon D. Married on 09/10/2021
Great experience
Anita was our wedding planner and did an excellent job! I am a super anxious person and love to have everything planned out. Due to rain our wedding got moved inside last minute, and WOW the inside looked incredible and exceeded my expectations. Everyone on her team is fantastic. Prior to walking down the aisle I had a terrible panic attack, Anita and her team calmed me down and provided me with the support I needed. There was also a lot going on behind the scenes that Anita and her team quickly worked out to resolve and make the day great. All of my guests said it was one of the best intimate and cozy weddings they had ever been to. -

Best Wedding Planner EVER!
Anita was the best vendor we hired for our wedding! She was there for us every step during the planning process. Every text message.. answered, every phone call.. answered, any time I wanted to meet or chat she was there. She also gave us some vendor suggestions which was super helpful when we were unable to find someone good within our budget. I would defiantly recommend Anita to my friends!
Working with Anita was so easy and natural she was very involved and helpful when needed.Dreams to Reality - Anita's Events's reply:
I am so grateful for this review. Your wedding was a blast and A BIG HIGH FIVE to your other vendors. It was a great night.
I still cant believe the beautiful day you got and how amazing the venue looked once we set up all the decor. A night to remember for sure. Much love always xoxoxoxxo -
