Sweet Dreams Weddings & Events

Sweert Dreams was astounding!!!! Especially since I live in MN and the wedding was in Portland - they were able to keep everything on track and keep the planning going as needed. The wedding day was spectacular. I can't say enough about how helpful they were and we had no worries at all as they did all the set up, watched over things, keeping everything flowing on schedule and then did all the clean up. I would recommend them to everyone planning a wedding!!

Tilly, Lisa, & Mary were all grebt and absolutely worth their weight in gold - particularly when it came down to the day of our wedding! With all the excitment and family buzzing around - it was like herding cats just to get people moving in the same direction. I truly don't know how I could have done it all without them!! Thanks so much to all of you!! - Michaela

Brides! This is a fabulous team! After 8 months we still miss working with Tilly and Lisa. They are total professionals with a heart. They were able to provide all we needed to know, and help guide us to make sure we got exactly what we wanted for a "Dream" wedding. You don't know what you don't know - they do! You will be happy to work with them and have them in your court - don't hesitate - time is ticking away for the big day

We had Tilly from Sweet Dreams as our wedding coordinator and I can't begin to tell you how helpful she was. She got back to me every single time I had a question and she made sure that our day went off without a hitch. I didn't have to worry about a SINGLE thing down to making sure we got the cake flavor we wanted and making sure my Husband and I had food and everything we needed. In the beginning I didnt think I needed a planner because I have been planning our wedding for over 10 years but... I am SOOOOO glad I did.. Every little tiny detail you could think of and some you don't.. It made us be able to enjoy our day and not worry about anything because I knew she had t under control.

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! These ladies know everything and everybody. They made sure my wedding was even better than any of my expectations and were there for me every step of the way!!!

Tilly, Lisa and staff were awesome. As the mother of the bride, I was able to enjoy my daughter wedding and not have to worry about all the details the day of the wedding. They were on top of everything. My daughter talked me into a wedding planner and I am so glad I listened. They were friendly, helpful and listened to what we wanted and gave us some great suggestions and ideas also. Everything from the ceremony to the reception went smoothly. We had such a great time. Thank you so much.

I hired Lisa & Tilly for the day of coordination and I have no regrets! I would recommend to any Bride that's planning her own wedding to get a coordinator for the day of. I know I wouldn't of been able to do it myself. Everything I planned they put together for me, if it wasn't for them I would of been up on my wedding day at 5:00am setting up tables and place settings. They were so helpful and organized. They made sure I had every little thing covered, they didn't let me miss a detail, and because of that my wedding was so amazing! They have the greatest funniest personalities and really worked well with me and my husband! We can not thank them enough, our wedding would not of been what it was with you them!

Lisa and Tilly were very helpful. I had done pretty much everything as far as planning and finding vendors. They were able to take all the info I had and turn it into something cohesive. The day of the wedding they made sure everything ran smoothly. One nice thing they do is make sure that you get a tray of appetizers for just you and the groom. The only thing is it would have been nice if someone had kept our wedding party away from it. lol

Tilly and Lisa were life savers. From the mother of the bride take it from me, I wouldn't do it any other way. Their knowledge and resourses were invaluable. They guided us through all the steps and offered amazing suggestions. They were completely honest and professional. They took care of everything and everyone at the rehearsal and on the day of the wedding. This allowed me to participate in all the festivities and truly enjoy the day - Worry free. I loved having them part of this very special occasion.

Wow! These girls are INCREDIBLE!!!! I can't say enough about just how happy we were with the final outcome of our wedding experience! :) My mother and I went into the wedding planning knowing nothing and not having a clue as to where to begin. We were overwhelmed! Right away, Lisa and Tilly were "right on" with answering any questions we had and getting us on track for planning things in a timely and organized manner (while keeping budget in mind). They brought up things we didn't even think about -- The best part about working with Sweet Dreams was their sense of humor! This is what made things click for us, and we SO loved being able to joke around while getting what needed to be done, executed with ease and efficiency. I love these two ladies and because the experience was done professionally and with class, my wedding was beautiful. One of the first questions they asked was "How do you see your wedding?" I replied, "I want my guests to walk away saying 'We had so much fun, and it was beautiful!'" - I truly believe my wedding was classy, beautiful AND people had a fabulous time. If there was something that went wrong, we didn't know about it and everything was taken care of behind the scenes. My family and friends were able to enjoy themselves without having to work my wedding because Lisa and Tilly had it all figured out. If you'd like to speak further to someone who has worked with this company, contact me at gatto.b@gmail.com and I'd be happy to share more if you'd like. Sincerely, Brandi Durkee

I had to put together my wedding in about 2 months. I went to a bridal show and met Lisa, of Sweet Dreams Weddings and Events. She was the "realest" person there and we met the following week for a consultation. I hired her and it was one of the smartest choices I made for the wedding. Her business partner, Tilly, is also fantastic. They introduced me to venders I had never heard of, (saving me mucho dinero in the process) and walked me through every step of the planning. There were so many details I had never thought of... I would've been lost in a sea of stress without them. The day of the wedding, I just got to relax while they took care of all of the important details and set-up. My family and friends complimented me and said my wedding was beautiful, fun, and that I had "thought of everything." I had to confess- it wasn't me! It was my wedding planners. Sweet Dreams Weddings and Events are also just good people to be around. They are your advocates when dealing with venders and wedding site coordinators. Fun to hang out with, they are genuinely excited about making your wedding be the best it can be. I appreciate that they came with me to meetings with venders, ran the wedding rehearsal, picked up rental items, made table and place cards when I couldn't handle anymore details, gave suggestions, and were patient when I changed my mind. They do all this and more! They also reminded me to breathe. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding.

We hired Lisa about a year (maybe a little more) before our wedding date. We started to plan one date and one type of wedding and then change it 1/4 of the way thru the planning process. Lisa was FANTASTIC thru all of it. Not only was she our coordinator, but since all my girlfirends live on the east coast and I really had no one here - she instantly became a great friend. She was there for me thru all my meltdowns & always knew how to calm me down. We had a tough time with our venue that we decided on and she was AWESOME at putting out the fires and helping us get the wedding of our dreams! (which we did!). When Tilly came on board, Sweetdreams got even stronger! They are both hardworkers and wonderful people, they work together great!!! My only regret is that our wedding is over and I won't be seeing them as often! The weekend of the wedding they were like angels!! They got my very difficult family and friends to get thru the rehearsal in a quick breeze AND when my dress was delivered to the hotel a WRINKLED MESS, they ran around town getting a steamer and spent hours trying to fix the problem late the night before the wedding! The day of the wedding was amazing! I literally just had to enjoy a glass of champagne, have my makeup and hair done and put on my dress - they did EVERYTHING else! I can't even begin to tell you how much of a GOD SEND they were!!!

Lisa and Tilly with Sweet Dreams Bridal are great ladies who are professional, responsive and fun to work with. I am glad that I had the opportunity to work with a highly organized and friendly staff and it helped make the planning process and the wedding day go smoothly for the bride as well as the venue. I would highly recommend Sweet Dreams Bridal to any bride planning her big day!

the wedding planner were awesome just a couple things were off the at the rehearsal and day of ceremony at the rehearsal the planner didn't really know what she was doing and what order everyone had to walk down the aisle she had people walking down the aisle in the wrong order. At the wedding the music started and they let 1 bridesmaids and groomsmen go down the aisle then stopped the rest so a late guest could be seated then the rest walked down. seemed unorganized for the announcement line into the reception men in front of the women so the women couldn't be seen luckily a bridesmaids noticed and switched the order.

Lisa and her staff were absolutely wonderful and Lisa was very responsive to our needs while helping me plan my parents 50th annversary party in Portland, Oregon. This event was planned long distance (I live in San Antonio, Texas) through phone calls and lots of emails. Lisa always responded to all my concerns in a prompt professional manner. She did everything her contract stated and more for a very reasonable price. She even had a couple vendors refund me a portion of their fees because of the substandard service/products they provided us.I would definitely use Sweet Dreams Bridal Consultants again!!!!

Lisa and her crew did a wonderful job of making sure everything went smoothly on our wedding day. We hired her for day-of coordination and everything happened perfectly.

I don't enjoy writing this review. But I believe it's my responsibility to informed others about my experience with Sweet Dreams. I met Lisa at the Bravo Bride Bridal even in Portland. I immediately was drawn in by her warm smile, and down to earth personality. Most other consultants I had met were either too prissy, or too pricey. But the idea of going at this event alone was terrifying, and Lisa seemed to be a nice fit. I hired her as day-of help, but when my fiance and I met with her, she said she would be more than happy to answer any questions we may have, and help calm the mothers down when needed. Aside from "calming down the mother", most of the information Lisa provided me with info that could have been found online. But it was nice to have someone to occasionally bounce ideas off of. The real problems started a few days before the wedding, at the final meetings of vendors. Our reception space was odd... A night club in an old warehouse. So table placement, and seating were difficult. At said meeting, my event space coordinator, caterer, my parents and I were trying to discuss possible seating arrangements and solutions when Lisa chimed in with an absolutely appalling outburst, screaming at us that this was a reflection of HER business, and she wasn't going to have US putting tables where ever we wanted, and that the photos will reflect badly on HER! Screaming... Whoa, whoa, WHOA! Who's wedding is this? It certainly didn't feel like mine at this point. In retrospect, I should have fired her on the spot. I ended up apologizing to my parents, and my vendors on the behalf of my crazy coordinator. THEN... The night before my wedding I find out that Lisa will not be around for ANY of the set up. Not at the Church. Not at the Reception. She would show up an hour or so before we started... and basically be a lump on a log. All of the hard work, set up, running around, putting things together, pointing vendors in the right direction... All the things you would expect your "day-of" coordinator to handle, was taken care of by close family friends. And to add insult to injury, when I received my beautiful photos... There was Lisa and her "assistant" in the back of many, many shots. Sitting... or eating. The only time I saw her working that night was when she stopped my mother and I from enjoying our night to ask for a check for the limo, something that should have been asked for before I had the dress on. All and all... Unprofessional and disappointing. If you decided to go with her company, be very clear of what your wants and needs are, and make sure she knows who's wedding it really is. As a side note, the photo on the front page of her site, and plastered at bridal events are from my wedding, every detail you see in those photos were created and executed by myself, or my family and/or friends. LISA HAD NO HAND IN IT.

Lisa was a dream to work with! She was the invisable glue/ oil that no one really saw but was responsible for keeping everything together and running perfectly. Lisa and her assistant were professional and efficient. They had the eye for all the little details that one would remeber or know they needed on their wedding day. I am strongly advising any bride and groom to hire Lisa for thier wedding planning. Thanks to Lisa's attention to detail, advise, and suggestions our day was a perfect.

Sweet Dreams helped me with the ceremony and allowed everything to flow flawlessly, especially since there were some unexpected issues to deal with right before. Having their help during the ceremony was invaluable!

Lisa proided invalauable service. It gave me peace of mind to have her as the day of wedding coordinator
