Maddy was so amazing! She was dealing with the most stressed and indecisive bride (me!!! Lol) and handled the situation with professionalism and grace! After several failed attempts with other planners Maddy came through and put together a beautiful ceremony/reception in 4 weeks!!! Her spirit is beautiful and she was absolutely lovely to work with! Maddy’s clear and direct communication made the weeks leading up to our wedding a little less challenging and for that I will forever be grateful. She truly loves what she does and it shows! You will not be disappointed working with Maddy, I’d choose her before looking at any resort venues 1,000 over!! My husband, a man of few words, was extremely impressed with how Maddy and her team made our day so special! Trust me when I tell you….You will not be disappointed with Maddy or her team! Thank you Maddy for everything! -

Destination Dream Weddings = Beautiful Wedding in Paradise!
Maddy, from Destination Dream Weddings, and her team were more than wedding planners, she planned our entire wedding weekend to include the rehearsal dinner, scheduling excursions for my guests, a last-minute wedding nail emergency, as well as finding a catamaran that would fit all of our guests! She provided the logistics support and cat hearding for all of our guests in getting them where they needed to be on-time. For the wedding day Maddy had creative license and with nothing more than a couple of pinterest pictures for inspiration, she ensured our day was absolutely beautiful. She even surprised us with alpaca cookies that had our initials! Having Maddy as our wedding planner allowed us to have the wedding experience we wanted in an unfamiliar paradise! -

Cabarete 11.12.22
Maddy and her team did a phenomenal job of making our dream wedding come true. Maddy gave fantastic suggestions for a photographer and hair/ makeup artist that truly both blue our socks off. Her chef did an amazing job and we still cannot figure out how they put out such an amazing spread of food from a kitchen the size of a closet. The serving staff were amazing and the DJ kept our small wedding grouo of 22 on the dance floor. Everything was just as we pictured from decor, flowers, lighting, the cake and the ceremony. Maddy has a knack for truly getting to know you as a couple and basically reading your mind on what you want.Destination Dream Weddings's reply:
Congratulations, again! Words cannot describe what an absolute honor it was for me to be part of your special day. To stand up and officiate your ceremony and to feel the love that you both radiate...it gave me goosebumps. I always say I get the most beautiful couples and you both are certainly beautiful inside and out. Thank you again for your kind words and for allowing me to witness the beginning of your lifetime together. Please invite me to your 50th anniversary! 😊 -

Went off without a hitch!
Wendy and Andrew are a dynamic duo! They took care of every task behind the scenes with ease. My husband and I were so relaxed during our wedding day and we owe it all to them. It was so great to have someone to vendors and family members to ask questions of. I feel like Wendy really listened to understand the vision I had for the day and delivered beyond our dreams. We would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding!Destination Dream Weddings's reply:
Your wedding was a highlight for us both. Everything was perfect and we so enjoyed watching you two join your lives together. Nothing but the best wishes for you both and your marriage together. -

Wendy was truly a godsend for Steven and me. We initially started off planning a Canadian wedding, but that was scrapped for several reasons. Wendy recalibrated, knowing we wanted a mountainside wedding, and scoured the U.S. from east to west coast to find us the perfect venue. And she definitely succeeded! We could not have asked for a better wedding planning experience, and Wendy was there every step of the way taking the lead to coordinate with the venue and vendors. We are so thankful that we found Destination Dream Wedding and had the opportunity to work with Wendy. It was the perfect day due in large part to Wendy's hard work.Destination Dream Weddings's reply:
Jason,
I was beyond thrilled to be asked to be a part of your special wedding day. You and Steven are so amazing and made this so great. I know I will never forget the Beyonce Wedding.
We are wishing you both a lifetime of love and happily-ever-after

After two years of our wedding being cancelled and postponed due to the pandemic, my fiance and I decided to just elope in DR and with two weeks notice Maddy put together a dream wedding, with 10 other guests , beautiful decor, the most stunning backdrop in punta rucia lodge , DR. The details were exquisite , the cake , the flowers, the food amazing . The vendors who did our hair and makeup and photography/video Grapher were friendly , personable and very skilled and the service was excellent. With such short notice and ever changing details daily you would never have known this wedding was planned on a whim, it was everything we we dreamed of. 2.22.22 ❤ -

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.Destination Dream Weddings's reply:
We were incredibly blessed and fortunate to work with both you and Kevin. You guys were such a delightful and easy going couple. We enjoyed absolutely every moment of your exquisite day! It is definitely one for the books and one we will not forget any time soon! Thank you for entrusting us with your special day and for your kind words....we wish you a lifetime of happiness. -

Fantastic experience! Definitely recommend.
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! -

Anniversary Celebration Trip
We booked a week long family trip for 23 people to go to the Mayan Riviera. As we went through the process of picking a place Andrew and Nichole were totally patient and provided us with lots of options. Once it came time to book they worked with the whole group to make sure everything went well, and it did! We spent a memorable week at the Iberostar, the flights the Hotel check-in, the rooms, the shuttles, all went flawlessly. We were all together in a building right by the pool. Everyone had a wonderful week, it is a vacation we will always remember!Destination Dream Weddings's reply:
Hi Bob and Laurie,
Thank you so much for the kind words. We were so excited to book this amazing trip for you and your family. It means the world to us that it met your expectations.
Wishing you and your family many more amazing vacations and celebrations together.

We wanted an intimate beach wedding of 40 people tops with a fun dance party and mojito bar, and Maddy made it happen! The location was absolutely perfect. Our flowers were stunning and the DJ was the major hit of the party! Maddy took our dream and made it a reality! -

My dream wedding came to life!
The decor, her staff, everything was great! I highly recommend using maddy for your destination wedding! Being on an island I’m not familiar with maddy made my wedding come to life without any stress! She always made sure to get every detail I wanted in my wedding and then to not worry about how . She handled everything for us. Everything was just so perfect it’s literally crazy. I expected things to go wrong because it’s a wedding and things can and will go wrong but absolutely nothing went wrong! The ONLY thing I must bring up is transportation! Once the wedding was coming to an end I had to remind maddy to order transportation for my guests. If I never brought up transportation to maddy during the wedding my guests would have missed their flight. Thank God I brought it up she was able to find transportation for them very fast! Other than that little mishap BOOK with maddy she will exceed your expectations!! I’m sooo happy with the way things turned out! -
