DM WEDDINGS

-mails very quickly which makes communications very efficient. She is experienced and is able to spot issues in my plans that I wouldn't have noticed. And because of all the things mentioned above, I felt comfortable and relaxed working with her. I knew that I didn't need to remind her or confirm with her over and over like I did with some other vendors. Hiring her team is one of my best decisions on wedding planning.

dding. She is professional, easy to work with, organized, and worth every penny.

of Coordinators, and it was the best decision ever! It really was more like "insurance" to our wedding - they made sure the whole day was so smooth; from getting ready to the after party. We couldn't have done it without Dream Makers, we would highly recommend them!!

rything we needed in a Day of Coordinator. Many other vendors add on services that make it more like a Month of Coordinator and of course that's reflected in the price, but Tara delivers really all you need if you can handle everything else on your own. When we met for our Marathon meeting along with the event coordinator for our venue, I knew we had made the right decision. The coordinator for the venue was unprofessional and useless, but having Tara reassured me that everything was going to be okay. She took charge and represented our interests. She helped us develop a cohesive timeline that made sense considering the space. Tara even responded to us on a Sunday when we needed advice - our venue was trying to change the pricing on us last minute! Of course I'm not recommending calling her on a weekend but just to say she's responsive :) On our wedding day I could finally relax knowing Tara and Raquel had everything under control. Tara also just has a very calming vibe about her so I think that helps! They kept us on time and arranged all of our Day of Decor as we had specified. It was definitely one of the happiest days of my life and I know that was in part because we had Dream makers!

us so that we could enjoy our wedding. Everything ran like clockwork. Tara helped us turn our vision for our wedding into a reality. We really could not have had a better day.

organize what needed to get done in the weeks leading up, but she was able to help simplify. She helped keep us on track on the big day, and all went very smoothly.

the perfect vendors for our day. The day of the wedding Tara and her team executed our vision flawlessly! I cannot recommend her enough!

onal. I planned the wedding myself, but did not want to be the person in charge to field questions on the day of the wedding. Racquel was wonderful and worked with me in the months leading up to the wedding (once at the venue and several times over e-mail and one last phone call) to make sure the day went off without a hitch. No one bothered me on the day of the wedding and I know it's because of the hard work of Dream Makers!

and on my actual wedding day. I would 100% recommend Tara in a heartbeat. Her experience and her beautiful personality made working with her lovely. During such a stressful time, you want someone that is there to help you and make sure you have a great day, Tara made that happen for me, and she will for you!

ators and ultimately chose to move forward with Dream Makers due to Tara's expertise. She clearly knew what she was doing and offered a competitive price for her services as well. I knew moving forward with her that I was going to be in good hands! Her assistant, Jordyn, and her really helped the entire day run smoothly. As soon as I showed up to get my hair and makeup done, Jordyn showed up and was there to help assist all other vendors get ready. I honestly couldn't imagine the day without him there to ensure everything was happening at the scheduled time I had listed on my timeline. In addition, both of them were very flexible and willing to work with last minute changes. I'd highly recommend working with Tara and her team if you are planning most of your wedding and need a team to help things fall into place the day of! Because of them, my husband and I were able to have a blast at our own wedding and spend time with our family and friends rather than managing all the little things.

y husband and I could focus on enjoying the day! I can't imagine having a DIY wedding without a coordinator to help and they were exactly what we needed! We felt confident having Tara take care of all the vendor details; including set-up, break-down and everything in between. She was super easy to work with and made sure the whole day went off without a hitch. We definitely recommend them - you won't be disappointed!!

ich we know is one of the hardest parts! On the day of she was ever present and took care of every small detail imaginable. I did not have a single stress on the day of knowing she would be there to handle anything and everything! She understood my vision through and through and made sure my day was perfect and special.

he wedding of your dreams – look no further. Having Tara take the lead coordinating with all of our vendors during the weeks leading up to our wedding was extremely helpful and by our wedding day, I was confident that all of the details and logistics were handled, and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. As a testament to her great work, I can honestly say that my husband and I were able to enjoy every second of our October 2017 wedding!

leading up to the wedding and answered all my questions and then some. Tara really knows what she's doing, and definitely goes above and beyond to make your day as seamless as possible. Her assistant Raquel was with me for the ceremony, and she did a fabulous job. Everything about our day was wonderful and perfect thanks to Tara and her team! I highly recommend working with her, she's the best!

mix as our day-of coordinator was a no-brainer. Did I ever think I’d have a coordinator for my wedding? Absolutely not. I was a DIY bride, and don’t like the fussy nonsense of weddings. But 4 months before ours, our original venue (that came w/ included coordination on-site) closed. Quickly scrambling to find a place that was not booked on that same Saturday (so we could keep the full vendor team we had already assembled), we booked a restaurant buyout at Fornino in Brooklyn Bridge Park. The owner and his team are incredibly competent, and gave us the experience of a lifetime, but they’re not wedding planners. If we were going to have this harborside pizza dream fulfilled, we were going to need a set of eyes and ears for the wedding. After losing one venue, we needed an insurance policy. Tara set up our entire venue mostly according to the detailed map I had prepared, coordinated our vendors, and took all of the DIY elements and turned them into the beautiful, expressive, personalized day I had dreamt of. She wrangled the personalities, the design elements, and the vendors, checked in with me only when she absolutely had to, and kept everyone accountable and honest. During the evening, my mom leaned in and told me what a tight ship Tara was running. And knowing my mom, who’d talked me down many a wedding planning ledge, could enjoy it and not worry meant EVERYTHING. At the end of the night she had packed up everything. We picked it all up from the venue the next day, and it was put away with care and respect - she had even stowed the copy of my dad’s speech in the corner of a box! Tara’s work meant that my husband and I (and everyone I love) could enjoy our wedding day.

to help you pull off the wedding of your dreams and fantasies. I have recommended Tara and the Dreammakers crew to not only my friends but to all of my coworkers. Tara made my wedding day fun and stress free and that's all I ever wanted. My sister is currently working with her and her team for her up coming wedding and my sister can't thank me enough for recommending her. Thank you Tara and the entire Dreammakers team.

he exception of the makeup artiste :-). I found out about Tara and her team on one of the wedding bee forums. I looked her up and was satisfied with the review I saw. On the day of I would with Raquel, I was beyond impressed, she provided white glove service and seemed to have a computer for a brain because she did not forget not one detail I mentioned to her. What ever I double checked her on, she had already done it. Your vision will come to life with Dream makers, provided you put in the time to write down all the details of what you want to happen, which should be a problem since you went over it in your head a million times. Take it from this picky bride, go ahead and book, you won't regret it.

lp to make stressful situations run smoothly and are always thinking one step ahead.They are full of great ideas I would 100% recommend to any bride! Don't know what I would have done without them!

at got us exciting and moving again. We opted for her consulting and day-of services where she made recommendations along the way and we did most of the follow ups with the vendors. It worked out perfectly. It was the best of both worlds... a bit of professional planning and a bit of DIY. My wife was not into having a wedding and I was. Now, two weeks after the weeding, my wife keeps saying how wonderful it all turned out. Whew! So grateful to Tara for her support, advice and wonderful recommendations for the venue, band, flowers, and all of the vendors that we ultimately went with. Thank you Tara and Dream Makers! We couldn't be happier.

e together on the day of the wedding and Dream makers made sure that it all came together perfectly! From meeting with them before the wedding, to them overseeing the ceremony, pictures in between, cocktail hour and reception, everything really was perfect!! My husband and I are thrilled that we worked with Tara !!! THANK YOU!

e was organized, experienced and professional. In other words, a dream to work with. The wedding day went off flawlessly thanks to her. Her detailed spreadsheets helped keep me organized, and I was glad to hear she had worked with many of our vendors already. She also made great recommendations about things we hadn't thought of. And she listened to all my concerns and last minute emergencies, and made sure it wasn't a problem on the big day. It's hard to relinquish control when planning such a big event, but I felt fully confident doing so with Tara. The venue looked amazing and the schedule stayed right on track. My wedding was perfect, and I have Tara to thank for making sure all the moving pieces went off without a hitch. I couldn't recommend hiring her enough.

complete with many personal elements which I brought in myself (I did my own linens, chargers, candles, escort table arrangements, you name it). I needed assurance that after spending this much, someone would be able to make my personal vision come to life, given that I am so detail-oriented. After speaking with Tara for my consultation, I knew she was the real deal! Tara was highly responsive, patient and understanding of everything I wanted. I may have texted her a hundred times throughout the process, and she handled all of my personal inquiries like a pro! At times when I was stressed, confused or just needed a professional opinion, Tara was always honest and logical with me. She was seriously my right hand man throughout the last phase of wedding planning. On the day of the wedding, Tara was all business-she was composed, organized and kept me abreast of any progress with my venue the day-of (as per my request). She texted me pictures as I asked for them, instructed vendors to where they needed to be, and even helped me hand out envelopes (which I can't even imagine doing since the day was such a blur for me). She kept us on time, and she was my go-to girl with lining up the bridal party, coordinating my arrival so the groom wouldn't see me etc. She did a million things for me that day! Honestly, I feel that Tara was an absolute blessing to have. I said it over and over throughout the day to my bridesmaids, mother and other vendors-I don't know if I could have done it without Tara. If you are on the fence with spending a little extra money, trust me, after all you pour in for your wedding, having a day-of coordinator puts it ALL TOGETHER for you without a hitch. My day was perfect, largely due to Tara's help. Thank you Tara!! Kristina Casaletto-Ohring

le and Tara and her colleague Jordan were a pleasure to work with, and managed the day effortlessly. We live in London and had an intimate wedding at The Waldorf Astoria, NYC followed by a wedding dinner at Hakassan. Tara made sure all the large and small details were taken care of, and didn't miss a beat. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Dream Makers. Andy and Morag (Chelsea, London)

up to the wedding day, she would send us spreadsheets to keep everything in order and make sure that there are no additional questions on the big day. On the day of our wedding, we were ALL over the place but Tara and team were true lifesavers. I'm so glad we requested her for the whole day because they were honestly worth every penny (especially when their prices were so affordable!!). I highly recommend hiring Dream Makers as your coordinators!

else, but Tara was incredible and made me feel totally at ease. She shared her expertise in the weeks preceding the wedding, was totally responsive to questions or thoughts I had, reached out with questions she had, was organized and efficient, and on the day of she worked seamlessly with our venue to make sure everything ran smoothly. So much of her work was behind the scenes, and I was blissfully unaware of any issues that may have risen, which was exactly what I was hoping for in hiring a day of coordinator! So many of our guests said it was the best wedding they'd ever been to, and so much of that is thanks to Tara's impeccable job. She's very reasonably priced, and would have been worth twice as much. We are so grateful to her!

ter months of meticulous planning, selecting vendors and worrying about the slightest of details, I was so happy to have you on board on the actual ‘day’ in order to orchestrate events and ensure the execution of my vision. I have to say, you did not disappoint. While you and your assistant oversaw the set-up of the ceremony and reception and coordinated with the band and florist, I was allowed to enjoy the morning getting ready with my bridesmaids and mother inside the bridal suite. At the ceremony, you helped to keep things on schedule while also providing guidance for our wedding party processional. Back at the reception, you worked with the band and staff at the Village Club to keep the evening flowing without missing any of the ‘special moments’, including the parent dances, the toasts (which you so kindly videotaped) and the cake cutting. At the end of the night, you discreetly ensured that all of our vendors received the proper tips, negotiated extra time with our photographer, and you even helped to coordinate an additional shuttle bus to make sure that all of our guests were taken home safely. To have somebody on board to take care of all these details and to actually be able to be a guest at my own wedding was a priceless experience! I cannot thank you enough for your professionalism, responsiveness, discretion and positive attitude…It was truly a pleasure working with you and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to friends or family looking for help in coordinating their special day! Fondly, Nicole

hitch--she managed the whole thing, got rid of wandering tourists, etc.--and did a wonderful job overseeing set up at the reception. And when one of my guests had a medical emergency, she took care of it calmly and efficiently. That alone was worth the fee, but honestly she adds so much value for such great value. Hire her!

budget which I really liked. She also knows The W Loft so well and knows what you need to do to hold a successful wedding at such a unique space. On the weekend of the wedding, she and her assistant were both very calm under pressure and extremely dependable. She ran the rehearsal the night before which made the wedding ceremony much less stressful and actually enjoyable! She also made sure that the whole wedding ceremony and reception went smoothly and according to plan by making sure that everyone (bride, groom, our bridal party, family) stayed on schedule.

our special day.. Tara and the Dream Makers team were awesome in making that a reality! Tara was always available and a great resource throughout the process. In such a stressful and hectic time, Tara's approachable disposition and 'can-do' attitude helped me hang-on to my sanity more than I can say. Handing over execution to Tara on the day of our wedding was seamless and I had every confidence in her handling all the remaining details as good, if not better, than I would have. During our event, Tara was great at taking the reins in working with our team of vendors (lots of moving parts) and putting out the inevitable fires that come up without alarming anyone, so that we and our guests could just enjoy the evening. Tara and her team were thorough, we were not left hanging, but Tara was very communicative and made sure everything was handled, start to finish, before she left. I can say, without a doubt, we were able to enjoy our day as much as we did because of Dream Makers..Tara is professional, warm, fun and just really great at what she does and you can tell she loves it - that enthusiasm is infectious! It was a pleasure collaborating with her and we highly recommend choosing her to work with for your next event - you will not be disappointed!

ng to make my day special. I have received so many compliments on my decor and how perfect my wedding went and I owe it all to them!

ing day. All my bridesmaids that have all gotten married recently were so jealous that I was able to enjoy my day stress free and that they didn't have the luxury of Tara by their side. I couldn't imagine the day without her!

ly stress-free: coordinating with all of the vendors, DJ, photographer, etc. and working alongside the venue staff to make sure our guests were comfortable & happy. Also, her knowledge & experience were extremely helpful to us - obviously we've never done this before, so it was great to have someone there to walk us through everything! We highly recommend Dream Makers for your event - they are more than just a business - they actually care about your day as much as you do, and they want everything to be perfect! Thank you so much, Tara & Dream Makers - you guys are THE BEST!

d so much helpful advice and experience that I always felt confident she had our big day totally under control. On the day, Tara and her team delivered above and beyond in running everything, getting all the details just right and coordinating lots of moving parts. Delivered with the biggest smile throughout our wedding day, which made it extra special. I thoroughly recommend Tara and her team - top marks!

and is just the best. I can't imagine how frazzled we would've been without her. Worth every penny.

e had already done a significant amount of planning (all the planning was done 50/50, yay for equality in relationships!) before contacting her, including booking vendors, deciding on decorations/theme, etc, and just needed someone to handle the nitty-gritty stuff on the day of. She was fantastic! She never tried to up-sell me on anything and went way above and beyond. She was familiar with our venue (The W Loft), and was quick to point out things that we wouldn't have thought of without her given her knowledge of the venue's quirks even before we booked her. The weeks leading up to the wedding, she was responsive, respectful, professional, and so helpful -- providing suggestions for additional help we may need, help with creating timeline, sending me deals she found online, all that stuff. After our first official meeting at our venue, I felt confident trusting her with our vision of our wedding. On the day of the wedding (which was such a blissful blur!), she was there early to set up the furniture and decor. Everything was set up perfectly! My husband (who was also helping to set up in the morning while I was getting ready) says that he saw Tara handle every detail like a boss, and comments fondly about how her assistant painstakingly arranged flowers in our lanterns and how they tied the twine around our programs *just so*. She managed our parents and us (along with our nerves! haha) without any issues, and then stayed later than she needed to in order to help coordinate the clean-up. She also worked seamlessly with our other vendors. I can not say enough wonderful things about Tara and her assistant. We could not have gotten through this hectic process without her!

for our party. Your leadership coupled with your ability to interpret a vision into a design layout and atmosphere we desired was a major contributor to a special and memorable evening for us.

d I had planned everything about my wedding to the tee. Therefore, it was imperative that I found someone that I could entrust to execute my vision.Within the first few minutes of meeting Tara, I knew I wanted to hire her, not only because of her professional demeanor and "make it happen" attitude but, above all, we clicked and we had the same mindset. During the planning process, Tara was a great resource whenever I had questions. She was always available to me via phone, email and text, and her responses were always prompt. No question was ever too small or silly to ask. On the day of my wedding, Tara did not disappoint. She was organized, handled the vendors and helped my Maitre’d execute the day flawlessly. I highly recommend Tara. She is professional, personable, organized and very knowledgeable about weddings. Hire Tara and you will not be disappointed. Your day will be flawless. Antoinette Kemp Campbell I feel truly lucky to have had Tara by my side as my day-of coordinator for my August 29th Wedding in Manhattan! My groom and I spent a mini fortune on our wedding (don't we all)- complete with many personal elements which I brought in myself (I did my own linens, chargers, candles, escort table arrangements, you name it).

on time with our last minute notice. The invitation quality was perfect especially with the added burlap bow to go with our country themed wedding. The table seating board in lieu of table place cards was so beautiful, clear and the perfect size. She was prompt with responses and very flexible to accommodate all of our needs. I highly recommend using dream makers for party planning. Nothing but the best!
