Looking back over a year later, I am still incredibly grateful to Ana for helping me through one of the most important days of my life! Our wedding took place on February 4, 2024, at the Mission Inn Hotel in Riverside. Due to a tight budget, I decided to plan all the pre-wedding details myself (which, while rewarding, was extremely exhausting -- I wouldn't necessarily recommend it!). However, I knew I would need a professional coordinator for the day of the wedding itself. Also, the Mission Inn Hotel has a preferred vendor list, and by choosing vendors from that list, we were able to avoid additional vendor fees. To be honest, I initially chose Ana because she was the most affordable option on their list. But after working with her, I realized she was absolutely essential to the success of our wedding day! Ana has many years of experience in the wedding industry and is incredibly knowledgeable about every step of the process -- she even holds a minister's license. On the day of the wedding, she flawlessly managed the timeline, handled unexpected issues with ease, and allowed us to fully enjoy every precious moment without stress. I can confidently say that without Ana's support, our wedding would not have been as perfect as it was. As first-time bride and groom who had no prior experience with wedding planning, we wholeheartedly recommend Ana as your wedding coordinator. If you are looking for someone reliable and professional, trust me -- you will be so thankful you chose her! read more

Having Ana officiate our wedding ceremony was meant to be. Booked her on a Friday night and she married us the following day. She conducted the ceremony in Spanish which was very important to us since we had family fly in from Mexico. She is very detailed oriented and worked with us closely in picking out our vows. We are extremely grateful to Ana for making our ceremony unforgettable! read more

While in the early stages of planning our wedding, we figured: small wedding, 70-80 people, 1 venue for ceremony and reception.... we're both professionals, should be simple to plan on our own. At first, it starts off pretty easy, but then the little things start to add up, and working full time, you begin to realize, you're gonna need help. Not just with the things you expect, but with the things you don't. Ana was absolutely exceptional! From our very first conversation, she wanted to know about us and what we pictured for that day. There is no way our wedding would have run as smoothly without her. She coordinated with all the vendors to make sure everything met expectations but the day of is where we realized we couldn't have done it on our own. Even with it being a smaller wedding, there is so much to do the day of. Things came up that needed to be addressed in the moment, from logistics to setup, to lost guests. Ana handled absolutely everything, told us what we needed to know but let us enjoy the day as much as we could. By far the best decision we made for our wedding was hiring Ana and Dream Events! read more

Ana is amazing! Though we only hired her as a day of event coordinator she was so involved and helped my wife and I make sure we didn't miss any details. The day of she was Superwoman, from making sure everything got setup correctly to dealing with our loud bridal party. Ana is organized and detailed oriented making sure we got things done in a timely manner, she goes with the flow and makes adjustments as needed (such as starting our ceremony a bit later due to guest not being there on time). She was a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend her! read more

I hired Ana to do day-of coordinating for my wedding back in 2014. She and her team were incredible! I was definitely a bridezilla on my wedding day- I had so much anxiety about things going as planned but she handled my stress without breaking a sweat. Her team coordinated all the vendors: flowers, rabbi, transportation, lights, music, etc and it was absolutely flawless. She also made sure that my new husband and I got a chance to eat and spend a little bit of time alone together in the midst of the chaos of a 200 person wedding, which was really special and something I will always remember. I would definitely recommend Dream Events to anyone looking for help with a special day, you're in good hands with Ana! read more

Ana was the planner for our wedding and we truly couldn't have done it without her. She was always available in the months leading up to the date for a random call or idea we had and helped us work it out. She had a great list of vendors ready for anything we needed. She went above and beyond to personally get things and bring them to the site day of. On the actual day of the wedding she was everywhere but also not overbearing or "too much" at all. She had our day planned to the minute and was able to adjust as the day went on and inevitably fell off schedule. She helped us in every aspect of the wedding and we would highly recommend her to anyone. read more

I will always hold you near to my heart as you have played such a special role in officiating my marriage. Thank you again! read more

Dream Events really came through! We were married on March 31, 2019 in a beautiful ceremony at the Mission Inn. We chose Dream Events from the list of approved vendors provided by the Mission Inn, our chosen venue. I have to admit there where a few times at the very beginning of the process where I had some doubts; but Ana Mora, our planner, from the day we chose our cake to the wedding really showed her expert planning skills. She arranged everything meticulously up till the wedding. Her guidance for the wedding and on the day of the wedding made it so my bride didn't have to think about any of the events. The wedding just flowed. She even helped our photographer and really made everything work smoothly. I can't say enough to thank her. This isn't just post wedding hubris, she really is exceptional. Many many thanks Ana! Ana, you can use us as a reference anytime. With Love, Matt & Lourdes read more

I hired Dream Event by Ana as our wedding coordinator in late 2021. At first she seemed very friendly and professional, as she came one time before the day of the wedding, and although I had hired her as my coordinator she was acting like my planner. When the day of the wedding came, she was so stressed out before the ceremony, trying to set up, that she was stressing me out. Once ceremony was about to start, my family started to see that she was just rude. Not being friendly and just demanding. After ceremony, she was MIA, I didnt know what way we were going when introduction of Groom and Bride after ceremony, and when I was looking for her she was not around. After dinner had been served, I started to get feedback from my family members that she was rude and mean and not friendly at all, they said it looks like she was in a bad mood the whole time. At first I felt a piece of mind knowing I had hired a professional, but when wedding came, I had a slight regret. Although my wedding turned out to be beautiful, I feel like she needs further training or just a better attitude for the day of the wedding. read more

EXCELLENT, PROFESSIONAL, DEPENDABLE AND GREAT PERSONALITY. Dream Events was wonderful to work with. Ana, was hired to be our officiant at our wedding MAY 2013. She was wonderful to work with, via phone, email and in-person. We found her while web browsing for an officiant for months....I emailed her and heard back from her promptly, she answered all my questions and we set up a phone-conference. She was the only vendor we booked without meeting in person first and we WERE EXTREMELY HAPPY with her service. She kept close communication with us through e-mail and phone calls from the day we signed our contract. We met her for the very first time about 1 month before the wedding. Ana, was very organized and we discussed all the wedding ceremony details in one meeting. She has such an awesome personality and so easy to work with. She emailed receipts in a timely manner and attended our rehearsal for a minimal fee =) The day of, she was awesome with our famalies, lent a hand with a little vendor mix-up (the cake was late and our florist was waiting to decorate it, she made sure everythign went smoothly), and last minute ceremony changes were easy peasy!! She truly was one of our BEST vendors to work with and I look forward to referring her services (both as officiant and wedding planning). LOVE DREAM EVENTS! and she's BILINGUAL!!!! super PLUS for anyone looking to do a spanish/english wedding. My Groom and I could not have asked for a better officiant to pronounce us Mr & Mrs. Luv you Ana! Mr & Mrs. De Anda read more

I was so fortunate to have found DreamEvents (Ana) for our Wedding! After years of planning and postponing and planning once again, Ana was very understanding and flexible. She has tons of experience and knowledge with vendors. It was so nice to have her available literally at any time of day to ask her the simplest questions. She made the whole process, beginning to end, so smooth. Our wedding was perfect, no hiccups no problems. 100% recommend! read more

Just...wow! I hired Ana for day of coordination and as an officiant. She made the ceremony process extremely easy. I didn't have a wedding rehearsal, and based on her instructions we were able to figure it out. She knew when everyone should go, in what order, and where to stand. She was so familiar with our venue, at the end of our ceremony she added in a little surprise. She was a great officiant. Don't be fooled though, she can do ANYTHING! She was so valuable the day of during the getting ready process. She was running around opening suites for us, timing us, herding attendees, and putting out fires. She kept the entire day on track and told me I couldn't do certain things at certain times which I sincerely appreciated! On top of that, she also acted as an assistant to my photographer. She helped direct the shoot and tossed my veil into the air and everything. I plan events for living and thought.....do I really need a day of coordinator? Let me tell you....yes you do....and specifically you need Ana. She's worth EVERY PENNY, I promise you!!! I would have been a basket case that day without her. She also helped with pre-wedding preparations as well. Her prices are reasonable also. If this marriage doesn't work out, I'll be back Ana!! Just kidding. :) read more

Words do not express how incredibly grateful my husband and I are to have had Ana by our side on our wedding day. Wedding coordinators are out there, but being able to specifically have Ana in that role is a once in a lifetime special find, truly. Ana really goes above and beyond and invests in each couple. You will see that, just as I, when you get the chance to start your journey with her with any package and on your wedding day, just as I got too! You will have many moments when she brings her compassion, stellar eye for detail, and support that you will just never forget. Ana is dependable, trustworthy, honest, flexible, and understanding. Her personality is so wonderful and calming through it all. Outside of her truly exceptional and phenomenal expertise, one of my favorite things about her as a wedding coordinator is that right off the bat you can tell she leads with genuine passion for love and ensuring everything is taken care of so you can live in that experience your entire day! This is the kind of wedding coordinator that will advocate for you and will be very responsive and on top of it! Just WOW! :) read more

This is a late review but I just wanted to take the time and say thank you Ana truly you were very professional and what are the odds that you did my sister in law wedding too great minds think alike lol Thank you for eveything Armando and I appreciate everything you did for us and how smoothly everything turned out. For a last minute request and how u were willing to take us in really meant a lot I will make sure to refer you to anyone asking for a officiant. read more

My husband, Mike was the one that found Ana online because he was not able to help me out with a lot of the wedding planning since I live in California and him in North Carolina. My first impression of Ana was that I felt she was very responsible and someone I can definitely trust. I totally had no idea how to start my wedding planning because I had less than 6 months to plan it. She was there to explain how and where we should start. Ana was there in assisting me in every detail of my wedding, from my photographer, videographer, florists, DJ and photobooth. She definitely was my advocate and she talked to all the vendors for me and all I had to do was either say "yes" or "no" to the options she gave me. She was able to give us a complete timeline/ layout of how our wedding was gonna be. She made sure each and everyone of us knew what to do on the day of my wedding. She was available to talk to via email, text, and phone. Even while she was about to deliver her baby, she still made sure I was taken cared of. She was my bestfriend through out the whole time I planned my wedding. I will never forget all the effort and hard work she put on making my wedding a Dream come true. She was my real life fairy god mother.. :D THANK YOU SO MUCH ANA!!! GOD BLESS U from Mike and Kath *PS: Only reason I put a 4 is because I don't want her to stop doing what she does... I wanna make sure she continues to pursue the best for every bride and groom and to make their Dreams come true ;) read more

We hired Ana February 2016 as our event coordinator for our wedding. We celebrated our wedding approximately a year later on June 3, 2017 at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Ontario. The reception followed at the Kellogg House in Pomona. We highly recommend Ana, we compared her prices to other wedding coordinators and she is very reasonably priced. Ana helped us with our budget, itinerary and to find a venue within our price point. She also helped find many of our vendors and checked-in to ensure we were on track. She helped us through the whole planning process from beginning to end. She was especially good during our wedding day! She ensured everything happened on time and ran smoothly. There were a few hiccups and she handled them marvelously. Thank you so much Ana!! We couldn't have done it without you. Love, Claudia & Scott Shiffer read more

Ana & Dream Events is seriously a God send. My husband is a DJ & he had the opportunity to work with her on a wedding, and he immediately knew we had to hire her for ours.. And I'm so glad we did! We hired Ana for the day of coordinating, but Ana was there throughout the ENTiRE process. Ana & Rosa are very professional, attentive, and they truly love what they do-- So, in turn, you get nothing but the best. I highly recommend Dream Events! On a side note: My husband & I have a 2 1/2 year old, and the day of the wedding.. Ana went as far as holding our sleeping son in her arms so we could just sit back & enjoy. It was something she did not have to do, but she did! =) read more

My husband and I got married on September 1, 2013 in Culver City, CA. We're so blessed to have found Ana she was incredibly helpful through out the entire Wedding process. Here are a few things about her that I appreciated: 1. Quickly replied to emails, phone calls, and text. She even Skype's!! 2. She gives you her honest opinion on what will work best for the wedding. 3. She's hands on the day of. She was extremely helpful going around checking on guest, making sure things were running smoothly. She's extremely organized and is very professional with other vendors. 4. The most important part that I valued the most about Ana, was her ability to remain calm through out the wedding and manage any issues that came her way. I truly valued that about her, I don't think I could have worked with a Wedding coordinator full of anxiety and rushing us on our special day. My experience with Ana and Dream Events has been extremely positive. My wedding guest all raved about her professionalism and kind demeanor towards them. I would have not been able to execute my dream wedding without Ana's help. I highly recommend her services if your planning on getting married, she will not let you down! read more

I was apprehensive about finding the perfect coordinator for my sisters wedding. I've had friends who had bad experiences with their coordinators not paying attention to detail or being helpful. I really hit the JACKPOT of wedding coordinators with Ana. First of all, Ana is bilingual which was a must for my mother in law. Secondly, as soon as you meet Ana her expertise really shines through. She carries herself in the most professional, sweet manner. She has the best vibe and makes you feel comfortable! She listens to all your concerns and gives advice based on years of experience. Anyone can give an opinion but Ana gives you straight knowledge!!! I was worried something would go wrong at the venue but Ana has worked with all the vendors that I hired and has done so many weddings at the Mission Inn (and basically everywhere). Anytime I needed Ana, she responded within minutes and went above and beyond to help us with details not even included in the package I purchased. She even contacted my event coordinator at the Mission Inn and handled a very last minute reception room change!!! She got me a huge discount!! Ana also ran our rehearsal ceremony and it went great! I cannot stress enough that when you hire Dream Events that they are true experts in event planning and coordination. My mother in law and I are super picky and perfectionists and Ana really payed attention to detail. She made sure that day ran smoothly and was so poised while doing it! Ana has this calm demeanor that really puts you at ease during such a busy and, at times, stressful day! She knows how to work with people and handle high stress situations while making it look easy!!! I know this post is really long but anyone out there planning a wedding, PLEASE HIRE THIS COMPANY! Their passion and experience in the industry is top notch and they made my sisters wedding day the best day ever!!!! I can't wait until I get married to call Ana!! Her prices are on point, her positive vibe is everything! She has such a infectious smile and actually cares about your event. I don't leave reviews because I always have high expectations that are rarely ever met but Ana went above and beyond my expectations!!!!!! Thank you Ana and Dream Events! Can't wait to work with you again!!! You're amazing!!! read more

All I have to say to Dream Events is THANK YOU! Our wedding day was everything we wanted and more thanks to Ana and her assistant. They coordinated our wedding day and made it all a dream come true.

You ladies went over and beyond and I can't thank you enough! Dream Events really does make your special day a Dream come true :) Thank You Ana! read more

We had our wedding on 101715 and had the pleasure to have Ana as our wedding officiant.. We have to say Ana was awesome!!! She is so knowledgable and carried herself so well I was so happy to have found her ! Being that I really wanted a bilinguals ceremony, and I had a large bridal party and all, it was hard finding someone who could accommodate all this... she was great with making sure everyone knew what they had to do !! We were married in crestline, which is a scary drive in itself , but she didn't hesitate once when I asked To complete rehearsal on a late Friday evening! Everyone has told me that our wedding was one of the most special events they have attended, and it's partly because Ana made sure our ceremony was full of love. Definitely recommend her to our friends and family ;) read more

We hired Ana for the day of wedding coordination, and we were very impressed. My husband and I met her at a local coffee shop and from the beginning I knew I wanted her for our big day. She was very informative and answered all our questions. After meeting her my husband was all for getting a day of coordinator. I kept in contact with her before the wedding, she answered immediately and even met with me a couple days before the wedding to give her all the decorations. She called me a day before to check up on me. The day of the wedding she was amazing, everything ran smoothly, she created a timeline and was on top of it. She even helped me with the bustling of my dress! I couldn't have been more blessed to have found Ana. I had that piece of mind that day that things were going to get done. I loved her personality too. She is sweet and when she needs things done she makes sure it's handled. Another plus was that she speaks Spanish. Hiring her was the best expenditure we did for our wedding.. one last thing, her prices were very reasonable too. read more
