Dream Events

Cesar, Lisa, and the entire DREAM team were a pleasure to work with for the entirety of the wedding planning process. We booked Dream specifically for catering. I first met Cesar for a tasting at their downtown Austin location - he was absolutely hilarious, genuine, and so incredibly accommodating. My husband and I knew from the beginning we wanted fajitas to be served buffet style at the wedding. I visited a total of 3 separate caterers trying the same menu at each. We ended up moving forward with Dream as we felt not only was the food prepared with a bit more personal flair, but also that we felt that Cesar and his team truly cared for us as customers. Leading up to the wedding, I flopped back and forth between the multitude of appetizer choices, which sides to have, the table settings, etc. Lisa was always patient and incredibly responsive with answering my questions, updating the quote, etc. When we got closer to the wedding, Lisa ensured that everything was in order. Dream set a date for the final guest count to be due and in the case that it had decreased since the final payment was settled a time range for a reimbursement to take place - this was something that gave me a lot of peace of mind. On the day of the wedding, setup, serving, and takedown went off without a hitch and I am very grateful. Our guests love the chips and queso bar, the appetizers, and the buffet dinner. The Dream team was kind enough to ensure that two plates were sent to the bridal suite so my husband and I could enjoy our meal together before joining our guests. I am still dreaming about the little fig bite appetizers! Thank you to the Dream team!!

Dream Events beautifully handled our florals and food for our wedding. We enjoyed working with Caesar, Lisa, and Sergio for our wedding. We were looking for food options that were classic but something that you wouldn't order at a restaurant to give our guests a great experience with some comfort food. We had our tasting and were a fan of the Cornish game hen (my aunt is still sad there wasn't the rosemary cream sauce leftover) and the braised beef. For the sides, we chose rainbow carrots (which guests wiped out they were so good!) and a salad with mashed potatoes. We loved the mac and cheese so much that we asked Dream to create it into a shooter style for our guests to go with the appetizers for cocktail hour. Our guests loved the food and we still got compliments on how well it was all put together. We were served a private dinner at our venue and the food was hot and delicious. The staff kept the venue clean and bussed tables as the night went on. They worked with the coordinator to break it down. We held our reception at our church parish hall. The following day, the church was hosting a fellowship brunch after Sunday service and the ladies that went to help set up and cook found the kitchen cleaner than they had ever seen it. Dream didn't cook on site but used the counters, fridge, and prep area and yet took the time to clean it better than they found it! Florals - turned out beautiful they met with us a few times to run through colors and options. Florals were not my biggest vision - I just knew I wanted them to flow. The altarpiece was a little off-color-wise compared to my bouquet - but looked beautiful. Sergio set up on-site and had a few hurdles to jump through with the church liaison so I won't reduce my review because of that. The bouquet was so beautiful I cried when I saw it. My bridesmaids had a ribbon tied around theirs that coordinated with the groomsmen's accent colors. They really listened to that and worked with what florals were in season. I didn't want my flowers dyed to match. We received a lot of compliments on the flowers as well. I asked Dream to include some willow and pheasant feathers which gave a whimsical vibe and really added some unique texture to our tables. Dream handled my family heirlooms for our wedding well. Sergio even took the time to help me with my mom's bouquet from the 80s that had wax flowers and pearl beads to give it a refresh for my bridal portraits. The colors turned out lovely in the photos and looked so real! On the day of our wedding, my mom shared that she would be bringing my dad's boutonniere from their wedding that had matching pearl beads to incorporate into his boutonniere for my wedding. He created the boutonniere on site for him and it turned out lovely and was a special detail included on our wedding day. Overall I would hire them again for any event. Pricing was fair and competitive, and policies were also reasonable with regard to leftovers, serving of vendor meals, and cake. They really worked within our budget and came up with options and were open to ideas to help bring our vision to life. They visited our church and venue for a walk-through before our big day and really got to understand the space and were excited to share some cool visions and ideas with us. Even doing a table mock-up with the linens (which they handled and I'm so grateful for!). I can't say enough good things about this team and really can't wait to have another party so I can hire them and eat some amazing food!
