Destination Dream Weddings

I had the honor of working with Wendy this past month in Colorado Springs for a friend's wedding. Because of the Pandemic, it had been delayed three times and moved from its original location to Banff. Wendy was there the entire time to mediate everything and keep everyone in the loop. Super personable, proffesional and on the day of, easy to work with. I'm a Photographer based out of NY so the standard is high (despite me being naturally relaxed). Recommend her to anyone trying organize a wedding out of the country as well as locally in Canada!

Our wedding was everything and more! Maddy was on top of EVERYTHING. She was so professional, creative, thoughtful and fun! On what could be a very stressful day for the bride and the family, Maddy and Danny showed us we had nothing to worry about. It’s been a very difficult time for wedding planning during a pandemic and everything worked out beautifully. Not only did we find an amazing wedding vendor and planner, but we found life long friends. Highly recommend!

We found Dream Destination Weddings after scouring reviews for a wedding planning team in the Dominican Republic. Planning a wedding is hard, planning a destination wedding, site unseen from the US was so daunting. But Wendy and Maddy (and Danny!) made all of our dreams, hopes, and pinterest boards come to life! We started planning 1 year in advance, the monthly zoom meetings were very convenient and flexible. Wendy and Maddy immediately understood our vision and the shared Pinterest board was a hit. Communication with this team was wonderful, they were always extremely prompt and forthcoming. We planned a 20 person wedding on the beachside, garden grounds of a villa (Villa Cocomar in Caberete). Like with all wedding planning journeys we had some hiccups along the way but this team came through with even better alternate plans! Just a few weeks before the wedding our musicians fell through due to COVID travel issues, Maddy and Wendy found an incredibly talented local 3 piece orchestral band who played all of our song requests including some Persian pieces. So special! We wanted to incorporate a Persian rug in the ceremony, difficult to find in the Dominican Republic but somehow Maddy came through with a gorgeous rug! We wanted the event to be romantic, classic, but still boho/beachy, and this team NAILED IT. The floral arch, the charceuterie style grazing table, tapas, dessert table, and naked cake came out perfect! No detail went untouched! The team of chefs, wait staff, DJs, light/sound, and florist/decorator that Dream Destination Weddings has in the Dominican Republic is something straight out of a TLC wedding show or a movie. Maddy was the ultimate coordinator the days leading up to the wedding and especially on the day event itself. She simultaneously wiped my over-emotional tears and waved her magic wand to to orchestrate every detail into place. Our guests are still raving about how dreamy, aesthetic, and gorgeous our wedding was! (I think the photos speak for themselves, credit to our lovely photographers Phosphilic). When we say this team went above and beyond, we truly mean it. They even helped us plan, coordinate, and execute different excursions through the wedding week for our guests. The seafood boil rehearsal dinner, catamaran boat trip, fishing trip, and golf outings were a smashing success. Wendy, Maddy, and Danny welcomed us into their family and we are forever grateful for all their hardwork, unending patience, love and exquisite attention to detail.

Planning a wedding in a different country can be challenging, which is why we hired Maddy in the Dominican Republic to plan my daughter's wedding. We immediately clicked with Maddy and Danny. Maddy went above and beyond our expectations. The wedding was in Las Terrenas Dominican Republic at an ocean front villa and couldn't have been more perfect. She was very professional during all our Zoom meetings, is very honest, detailed, kind and has impeccable taste, and thought of everything to make my daughter's wedding day so special. I highly recommend you reaching out to Maddy and Danny if you are planning a wedding, or any event where you will need planning and guidance, in the Dominican Republic. Thank you Maddy and Danny for making this day so memorable!
