    Ceremony

    We hired Ashley to plan our February 2017 wedding about ten months in advance. We wanted a planner with a clean, unique, modern style. We had scheduled meetings with three planners, and met Ashley first. We hired her without meeting the other two - she was perfect. She's hands down the best wedding related decision we could have made. From the beginning, she was integral. She helped us to book our dream venue, an urban space that is literally a blank canvas. We had to bring everything in, from catering to rentals to bathrooms to lighting to staff, etc., including a lot of things that never would have occurred to us. Ashley was completely unfazed. From the beginning, she was highly organized. She also exudes calm, which makes a great combination - things were getting planned, and there was zero stress...or at least, we felt none! She let us know what decisions needed to be made, when. She created a shared Google folder to keep track of our plans and documents. She maintained a shared budget document, which she was constantly updating; she kept our budget on track (and found every which way to save us money) throughout the entire process. She sent us calendar invites for meetings and deadlines. When it was time for us to make a vendor decision, she sent us a curated list of trusted options and offered to send more if we vetoed any. (We never did. Her vendor recommendations were amazing.) Other than the tastings, floral mock up, etc., we had no contact with any vendors - Ashley fully managed our entire event, including all vendor communications, billings and deadlines, deliveries, etc. Her style is amazing - we worked well together, and she created and found the perfect looks and rentals to execute our event. Her communication was spot on - she only contacted us when necessary, but immediately responded to each and every email or text we sent. She was supportive and available, and we felt like we were her only clients. (We were not!) The month, week and day of our wedding, she was amazing. Though we are sure she had many balls in the air, it never showed. Our friends kept assuming we were inundated with "wedding stuff" the month of - we were not. In fact, we did very little "wedding stuff" at any given time, and especially just before the wedding. It was completely relaxing. When we showed up at the venue for pictures, it looked even better than we had imagined. Our wedding was fantastic, and Ashely made it happen; we are still getting compliments on the look, feel, food, band, experience and entire event. Ashley exceeded our expectations, and brought incredible style, support and knowledge to our wedding and process. Thank you, Ashley!

    Looking for a wedding coordinator? Go DIRECTLY to Dreams on a Dime without any hesitation. Brenda…read morewas our Month of Coordinator and she went ABOVE AND BEYOND.First of all, they did not oversell themselves...I told them what I had already accomplished before even calling them and they said, "you only need month of coordination. you've got this." However, a few months before the wedding I was so overwhelmed with all the detail that Brenda offered to meet and she just helped me organized my priorities and made me feel really good about the progress I had made. She did the same 6 weeks later. OMG, so helpful to keep me going and manage the overwhelm. As the date grew nearer, she started leading more to ensure we took care of those horrible details (seating charts, signage, communication with vendors, table set ups, and the timeline, etc). At every moment she was calm, lovely, relatable, fun, reassuring, and extremely competent. The week before the wedding she came over and took ownership of all the "stuff" (candles, ceremony items, decorations, etc). That felt sooo good. She was great at the rehearsal and made sure "all the cats were herded"so we got through the rehearsal and worked out all the details. The day of the wedding? We were so relaxed and didn't think about a single thing. The tables were set exactly as we had discussed, the ambiance was amazing, every little detail she had taken care of. and then she cleaned up and stored everything for us and then brought it back to us a couple of days later. During the wedding, Brenda was a total ninja....I barely saw her at the wedding as she was in the background making it all happen so we could enjoy our guests. A guest even took a picture of her that makes her look like the super hero she is, LOL! You will LOVE working with Brenda. I cannot recommend her more vigorously. She is amazing.

From the first call, she put our anxious brains at ease and listened carefully to what weirdo vision we had in mind + what things we were most afraid of turning awry. Having never planned such a fete before, I had hella dumbass questions to lob at her, but that did not faze her at all. Not only is Cierra hypercompetent at her job and super solutions-oriented and knowledgeable, she is a plain joy to talk to and bounce ideas off of and joke around with. Just an all-round cool human that added to the overall atmosphere of love and appreciation we wanted to foster at our wedding (while also running an impeccably tight ship without breaking a sweat). ANYWAY needless to say we are major Cierra fans here and want you all to know that she is a dream collaborator for your big day, may you be so lucky!

    This past weekend, we collaborated on a birthday party in Redwood City. From the first phone call…read moreto the final goodbye, Andrea has been one of the kindest people we have ever worked with. She makes you feel like you have known her for years. Clear and concise with what she wants, prompt responses, and a whole lot of fun. But after seeing her the event come to life, it was like we were transported into another universe. She has vision and drive. Hopefully this will not be the last time we work together!

    If you're looking for a planner who brings not only a vision to life but infuses it with soul,…read moreheart, precision, and grace--look no further than Andrea of Mia Emma Love Events. I recently had the absolute pleasure of working alongside Andrea for an extravagant, Wicked-themed birthday celebration at the Grand Bay Hotel in San Francisco. As a DJ, I've been part of my fair share of complex productions--but this event? This one had layers. We're talking immersive design, multiple performances, theatrical moments, choreographed timing, lighting cues, and the kind of attention to detail that would make Broadway stage managers sweat. And yet--through every twist, change, last-minute curveball, and behind-the-scenes chaos--Andrea stayed calm, composed, and genuinely joyful. That smile never left her face. It wasn't just impressive; it was inspiring. What struck me most was Andrea's emotional intelligence and natural leadership. She wasn't just checking off a list--she was reading the room, checking in on vendors, comforting the family, and still had the foresight to ensure every beat of the evening landed with intention. For us as DJs, a successful event relies heavily on the planner's clarity, timing, and communication. Andrea excelled at all three. Her cues were crystal clear, her flexibility never compromised the bigger picture, and her collaboration felt seamless. It's rare to find someone who can hold both the creative and logistical sides of event production in perfect harmony. Andrea is that rare gem. And beyond the work, there's a real human connection there--a warmth that draws people in, makes vendors want to go above and beyond, and creates the kind of synergy that guests can feel, even if they don't see it. After this event, I'm not only grateful--I'm inspired. I genuinely hope to work with Andrea and Mia Emma Love Events more in the future. I believe that if we continue to collaborate, we could create experiences that are unforgettable, meaningful, and consistently next-level. Andrea, thank you for the trust, the kindness, the professionalism, and for being exactly the kind of event partner every creative hopes for. I'm honored to have been a part of this one--and I'm already looking forward to the next. With deep appreciation, DJ Brandon Beach

She is a perfectionist. She's very resourceful, and she helped me put together the quinceañera in less than five months. She made it happen. I shared our vision/inspiration board with her, and she executed it. When we walked in, it was like a fairytale. On top of that, she will fight for you to ensure everything is done right. She always looks out for her clients. She won't let you get taken advantage of because it's very easy for that to happen when it comes to spending money on events I am overly happy and satisfied with her services and I will most definitely work with her again for my next event thank you so much, Nancy you are amazing.

    We have worked with this event designer on several occasions. Unfortunately, our most recent…read moreexperience was not positive. Communication was poor, and there was a lack of follow through on commitments. On top of that multiple vendors we hired expressed difficulty working with her due to her unprofessional approach. Based on this experience, we will not be collaborating with her on future events. On the last project we did together the court ruled in her favor, largely because we were the ones who drafted the contract (rookies) that's exactly what the judge said. However, there is plenty of evidence showing that the terms of the contract were not fully completed. It is also true that several of our vendors expressed difficulty working with you, along with others involved in the project. If you would like any proof to support this, there's plenty.

The events moved smoothly throughout the evening, and she and her team were very attentive to our needs throughout the day. Our small and detail-oriented requests were all noted, remembered, and seamlessly executed! A guest had the misfortune of dropping their phone into an outdoor fountain, and Laura's team was instrumental in finding a happy solution without disrupting the flow of the day - we didn't even find out about the whole conundrum until hours later. Laura's Day Dreamer package is a great option if you are looking to have all the details fully handled on the day-of, plus some additional guidance as you take the lead with the planning process during your planning year, rather than hiring a full planner. We felt the most valuable part of the service was her full handling of detailed vendor communication in the two weeks leading up to the wedding - a priceless benefit in that home stretch!

It was a nice, smooth transition as well starting with monthly phone check-ins 6 months before our wedding day leading to fully taking over about a month ahead while still keeping me in the loop with vendor communications, etc. This time up front allowed me to feel comfortable letting go because I knew we were in such good hands (she is very organized and detail oriented) and I was able to just completely relax and enjoy our whole wedding weekend. Thank you Laura!
