Simply put: our wedding probably wouldn't have happened without Jamie and her team. Of course she was our on-island representative whenever we needed anything. She also knew of a vendor or option for every problem that arose and kept our ambitious DIY ideas in check. Then, when our DJ cancelled two weeks out from the wedding, Jamie got us a new option within 48 hours that was a perfect fit. And when it was clear that we had to execute our full rain plan, it was just like flipping a switch. Jamie handled it all so that we could enjoy our day. We can't recommend Island Dreams enough!
From the moment we met Jamie we knew she needed to be our planner for our weekend long wedding. Her attention to detail, above and beyond communication practices, Martha’s Vineyard vendor knowledge/relationships, and caring personality made her a perfect match. We had a vision for our wedding with an insane amount of details, and Jamie pulled it off and made it look easy. She saved us money, time, and helped elevate our wedding. Her architecture background greatly benefited us too!
I’ll miss working with her!
Jamie and her team at Island Dreams Event Design are nothing short of extraordinary. From our initial meeting to the day of our wedding in Edgartown. Jamie's passion and professionalism shone through. She listened attentively to our vision and brought it to life with unmatched attention to detail.
Throughout the whole process and especially on our wedding day, Jamie orchestrated everything flawlessly, ensuring that every moment was perfect. You can truly tell how much she cares for and about her clients. Jamie's dedication and expertise allowed us to relax and fully immerse ourselves in the magic of our celebration.
We are endlessly grateful to Jamie and her team for making our wedding day the most unforgettable experience. Their talent and commitment to excellence are truly incredible, and we wholeheartedly recommend Island Dreams Event Design to anyone seeking a wedding beyond their wildest dreams. Thank you, Jamie, for creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Any questions?
I could go on and on about how fabulous Jamie is. She hopped in on the planning process with us a little under a year from our wedding date and kept up with us all along the way and thank GOD she did because we certainly would have fallen behind. She is incredibly organized and creative. I felt not one ounce of stress on my wedding day and I know it's because Jamie was there for whatever was thrown at her. She is incredible at her job, but somehow even more fabulous as a person. If you are questioning a planner/coordinator - DO IT! And choose Jamie. You will be forever grateful and your day will run flawlessly. Thank you beyond words for our dream day, Jamie!!
We love Jamie! We were SO lucky to have her involved with our wedding. From start to finish, she was an absolute joy to work with. She was on top of everything and kept everything on track. She handled things we didn’t even know we had to do and she did things for us that we had originally planned to do. She is efficient, organized, prompt and the kindest person to work with. She has extensive knowledge of the Vineyard and Vineyard vendors. Her background with architecture and design makes her stand out. She came up with renderings of our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception areas - which was amazing to be able to visualize what we were planning. She helped us understand and organize contracts. She helped with our to do list and made sure we were hitting all our deadlines. She helped us put together various DIY items the week of the wedding and she set everything up the day of. Her advice and assistance with setting up our wedding timeline for the guests and vendors was immeasurable. We were not stressed at all on our wedding day because we knew everything was going to be perfect and just the way we wanted it. She was the contact for all vendors and guests who needed assistance the day of the wedding, which again put us at ease so we could enjoy our day. She made sure our guests with food allergies were well taken care of. Also, her assistant for the day, Natalie, was just as sweet and efficient as Jamie. We felt like we had 2 lifelong friends helping us on our special day! We wish we could have a wedding every year so we could work with Jamie again and again!!! -Caitlin & Garrett
Jamie Newhouse is a dream to work with!

I trust her implicitly! I know I’m in good hands whenever we work together and I know my flowers and our clients’ stye and aesthetic will shine through every time! She’s the best!
If you're having an event or a wedding on Martha's Vineyard and you need help with planning, you've found the perfect company to help make your event memorable. As a wedding DJ, working with Jamie of Island Dreams Events gives me the confidence that everything else outside of the dance floor is in good hands. She is extremely detailed, keeps everyone organized and on scheduled for the entire event. Jamie works tirelessly to create a stress free event from the very beginning until the last guest/vendor leaves. I am thankful that I get the opportunity to work with Island Dreams Events and I am really looking forward to our next event together. (Photos from our 1st wedding together)
Planning on destination wedding on the other side of the country was EASY and STRESS FREE thanks to Jamie and her team. Jamie is incredibly organized, responsive, creative, and a joy to work with. She is honest, but also listens to what you want and does her best to help achieve your vision within your budget. My husband and I (and our family/friends) cannot say enough nice things about Island Dreams!
Jamie and the Island Dreams team exceeded all our expectations and working with them was a highlight of our overall wedding experience. Jamie planned and executed our dream wedding for a large group of 275 guests of varying ages, backgrounds and interests. She made us feel confident and excited rather than stressed throughout the process. She has incredible attention to detail and proactively and seamlessly coordinated with all our vendors, including taking our vision and objective to heart and continued to bring us back to the big picture while also painstakingly dealing with details that we never would have thought of. There were so many times where we planned to do something but Jamie had already done it. She also brought her design experience as an architect to help us understand space and seating options for our large number of guests. She anticipated issues large and small. When the weather forecast turned bleak and it became clear that it was going to significantly rain on the wedding, Jamie worked with us to ensure that the rain plan was executed and did not diminish the joy of the festivities. She went above and beyond in so many ways, including creating detailed transportation schedules for both vans and shuttles. In sum, Jamie and the Island Dreams team are exceptional and we are confident that they would deliver for you like they did for us.
We had the best experience with Island Dreams. Jamie went above and beyond to make sure our wedding vision was made a reality.
Island Dreams MV cared not just about delivering on all the details of the wedding as promised, but how the event should feel. As hard as it is to deliver on the thousands of details involved in a wedding it is exceptional to be able to create an atmosphere that exceeds your expectations. This is exactly what Island Dreams was able to do for our daughter’s wedding. We can’t express how grateful we are for the exhaustive efforts to make for an unforgettable day. Thank you Jamie for everything you do to make moments that will never be forgotten.
Island dreams event is the best wedding planner on the island. The owner Jamie is professional, organized, and goes above and beyond to make your day perfect. I shared my vision with her and she made the day even better then I had imagined.
Jamie spent hours on the phone with us leading up to the day and helped support us with all our vendors. On the day of she was a life saver getting up early to help get everything set up. She even took and shared pictures she took the day after so we could see the behind the scenes. Even our guest and parents made comments about how wonderful she was. Book with Island Dreams Even Design. You won't be disappointed!
Jamie was such a resource when it came to planning my wedding this past September. Planning a wedding from afar is hard enough but there were so many things I didn't think of that Jamie took care of for us. I felt so relaxed on my day and enjoyed it so much. It flew by so I am so glad we had someone taking care of everything behind the scenes.
If you want a seamless wedding day you need to hire Jamie!
We had the pleasure of working with Jamie for the Beach Road Weekend event on Martha's Vineyard where she designed two VIP suites. We can not recommend Jamie enough, she is your go to girl for ANY event!! Her drive, creativity, passion and dedication shines through all of her work and she is truly inspirational. Jamie was the first person on site through out the entire weekend ensuring that all areas were presentable for the guests. She went above and beyond and exceeded all of our expectations, not to mention the VIP areas she designed were admired by all guests and it was amazing to see their reactions.
Jamie's organization and excellent communication skills made this entire event come together seamlessly. Jamie's talent is displayed throughout all of her work, if you have a vision, or need inspiration in creating the perfect atmosphere for your event, she's who you need! She's like no other planner in the industry, we can not recommend her enough!!!!
Jamie was absolutely amazing. She beyond exceeded every expectation we had. She is so kind and professional and worked so hard to make all of our dreams come true, while being so responsive to our budget.
She is always willing to chat things through via phone, email, and texts. Thanks to her relationships with other vendors on the island, we even got more than we bargained for in terms of flowers, decorations, etc. It was a pleasure to work with Jamie and we would recommend her to anyone who wants support in making their vision for a beautiful wedding come to life.
In addition to all of her regular responsibilities, Jamie went above and beyond whenever we needed her and even showed up in person to resolve any issues that arose throughout the person when we couldn't be there to do it. Without a doubt, our wedding would not have functioned, let alone gone off without a hitch, without Jamie. We are so grateful to her for all of her services and HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I LOVE Jamie from Island Dream Events! When I first met her I was mesmerized by her passion for the wedding industry and her creativity. She is extremely organized and she has a gift of putting any vision and thought into action. The wedding that she planned, where I was the photographer was one for the books. So stunning, so different and a huge success. Everything ran smoothly and every moment was as perfect as it can get.
If you plan to get married on Martha's Vineyard, give Jamie a call! You won't regret it!
My daughters wedding went off without a hitch thanks to Jamie and her team’s efforts. The entire weekend went seamlessly, from the welcome party to the farewell brunch, everything was so well thought out. She was so responsive and professional with every question and thought we had a long the way. She was so well organized and had everything planned out, which made the wedding stress free for us! My daughter and I are both so glad we hired her!
