    Kathy is a wonderful and talented wedding planner who clearly loves her job. My husband and I initially hired Kathy to help us plan and coordinate a casual, backyard wedding. After she invested many hours communicating with various tenting specialists and caterers, it became clear to us that due to our ballooning guest list we would not be able to have the backyard wedding we initially wanted. So, we scrapped the original plan, and I described to Kathy what I was looking for in a new venue. Kathy began tirelessly searching for a new venue and found one that suited our tastes perfectly.

    After we chose the venue, Kathy essentially planned the entire wedding in fewer than three months. Her expertise in all things wedding allowed us to relax. She recommended our amazing photographer and talented florist. She also provided excellent advice regarding wedding etiquette.

    When several unforeseen issues with the venue arose due to a change in their staff, Kathy did a remarkable job of defusing the conflicts. Had it not been for her, several major issues would not have been resolved; I know I would not have been able to handle them myself.

    On the day of the wedding, Kathy and her team kept everything running smoothly. She provided us with a detailed timeline and itinerary, which gave us piece of mind. Kathy and her ‘Dream Team’ set up all of our decorations (excluding the flower arrangements, which were set up by our florist) and made sure everything was absolutely perfect. When she discovered that the venue did not have the table numbers, she went to the store to purchase them while I was getting into my gown!

    Our wedding was beautiful, and we owe much of that to Kathy. Her warm personality and enthusiasm drew me to her. She is easy to talk to, extremely knowledgeable, understanding, and honest. I highly recommend Dream Wedding and Events Planners to anyone who wants an exceptional experience with a wedding planner.

    Kathy provided her services to us on our wedding day and for a year and a half of planning beforehand. We interviewed quite a few wedding coordinators, but we knew she was "the one" within ten minutes of talking to her. Kathy is experienced, organized, connected with fantastic vendors and clearly loves what she does! She had a knack for making me feel as though I was her only client, as she was so attentive and available for little questions and larger problems.

    On the day of the wedding, Kathy and her team used the timeline she cultivated to keep the entire bridal party and all of our vendors on track. She executed our rehearsal, ceremony and reception exactly as we had discussed and solved multiple little problems along the way that never even came to my attention until after the event!

    I could talk about how perfect and beautiful our wedding turned out (because it did!), but the most important gift she gave us was the ability to forget about all of the details on the day of our wedding and simply enjoy our friends, families and each other. We couldn't have trusted anyone else with such an important task!

    I could not be more satisfied with our experience using Dream Wedding and Event Planners and our decision to hire Kathy and her amazing team. Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life, and it is well worth the money to use her full wedding planning service! We knew the moment that we met Kathy that she was the coordinator for us! She was extremely organized, easy to talk to, and knew all of the right questions to ask. By the end of our first meeting, I felt like she knew the two of us and had our entire vision in her mind. We hired her on the spot and never regretted our decision once! Kathy is extremely organized and was on top of everything during the entire planning process. She has a full network of the most talented vendors in the area, and she recommended the most amazing and professional people for our wedding that she knew would be best for the two of us. While Kathy was very helpful and informative in our selection of vendors, her true benefit came in the weeks leading up to the wedding. She made sure that all of our vendors had our schedule, knew where to go, and that all of the little details I didn’t even know about were accounted for. The entire week before the wedding, I found that I was surprisingly calm and relaxed because I knew we were in good hands. It is possible that there were many other things that went wrong that day, but if there were any issues, I was not aware of any of them because Kathy and her assistant handled everything.My husband and I could not have asked for a more beautiful wedding than the one that we had. It was unique and perfect for us, and was truly a fairy tale wedding! It really was one of the best days of my life, and was all made possible because of Kathy and her fantastic team at Dream Wedding and Event Planners. I would highly recommend them to everybody!

    Originally, I was sure that I wouldn't need any assistance from a wedding planner. Being a "stay-at-home" mother of the bride, I thought I would have plenty of time to organize and plan the wedding with Katy (my daughter). I quickly realized that Katy and Joh were not going to have much time to help em, as their jobs are quite demanding and my daughter is in grad school. That's when I decided to hire Kathy Byrum of Dream Wedding and Event Planners. Looking back on it, I can see how many pitfalls there are, especially in scheduling the salon (8 bridesmaids plus two mothers for hair and makeup) and the logistics of the wedding party transportation. Also, we got many compliments from our out of town guests who enjoyed being shuttled from The Dearborn Inn to our church.... Thanks to Kathy for coordinating that as well as the coordination of all of the vendors involved.

    Kathy's overall timeline and production schedule ensured that Katy and Jon's wedding day went very smoothly and without a hitch... and it did!!

    It was absolutely wonderful "working" with Kathy, and her cheerful and sometimes calming demeanor will never be forgotten. Thank you to Kathy Byrum and her colleagues for everything!

    During our whole honeymoon we were talking about wanting to have another wedding! I told my husband we should renew our vows every other year (if Kathy Byrum is available). The only thing is every party has to be bigger and better!!

    I feel like I am missing a close friend not emailing or talking with Kathy. We absolutely adore her and couldn't be happier with everything she did for us. People have asked us since we got home questions about Kathy and we couldn't say nicer things. Kathy made our wedding an "event"! We are still ecstatic. Can't thank Kathy enough! We are so lucky to have met her.

    We are so, so, so happy with everything Kathy did for us. Thank you, thank you, thank you Kathy!!

    Before I hired Kathy, I didn't know if I even had enough time to get ready for the wedding on 3.3.12. That was such a tight period from mid Jan 2012 to the wedding day. When we first met Kathy, after a few minutes of talking, 100% confidence came to me. Yes, Kathy brought back our confidence and passion. That's why during the period we were planning, we trusted each other like a great partnership.

    Kathy and her group are very, very nice and professional, more than I expected. She has a large relationship network with every kind of vendor you may need. She has a professional schedule and timeline to help you out, and you don't need to worry. So, although there was only 40 days to prepare everything (some couples plan for one year or even longer), and sometimes I don't know the words to describe our preparation because I am Chinese and not perfect with English, Kathy and we finally made it in such a short time!! It was not that rushed, and in a strict step by step plan, everything was perfect and smooth. I really want to thank Kathy and her planning group for helping us out.

    I will say every dollar you spend with Dream Wedding and Event Planners is way worth it. They charge a good price with supreme service. Your Wedding Day is one of the most important days of your life. Dream Wedding and Event Planners is your best choice!!

    They did a perfect job. They figured out everything, more than we could have imagined. Thank you Dream Wedding Planners, so, so much.

    Kathy Byrum did a phenomenal job of planning our wedding in our front and backyards. She is the only wedding planner I found in the area that had experience with planning outdoor weddings at private residences. I cannot say enough good about her responsiveness, professionalism, and helpfulness. When the DJ's speakers broke right before the ceremony she managed to find a solution quickly and quietly without ever bothering me or my husband. I would HIGHLY recommend her as a wedding planner.

    Words cannot describe, nor gifts repay the amazing job Kathy did for our daughter Kate and her husband Sean! From start to finish, it's in the details and Kathy did not miss one...we feel truly blessed that Kate found Kathy and not only are we proud to add Sean to our family, we feel Kathy is now a part of our family as well!!

    My husband and I hired Kathy Byrum of Dream Wedding and Event Planners as a day of coordinator for our wedding on July 23rd, 2010. We were beyond impressed with the services she and her assistants provided for us. Kathy met with Mikel and me multiple times prior to our wedding and even provided several excellent vendor referrals including DJ services, floral and linens, jewelry and accessories to name a few. Kathy and her assistants were extremely professional and made sure Mikel and I had a 100% stress-free wedding day. Her assistants, Cindy and Linda were at our venue hours before the wedding to assist every outside vendor as they made their deliveries. Our reception venue was strict with timing and Kathy and her team made sure the entire evening ran smoothly even during a severe thunderstorm and tornado watch! We were pleased with our decision to hire Kathy and her team and feel it was money well spent!



    Sincerely,

    Mikel & Stephanie Allan

    My sincere thanks and appreciation for the help of Dream Wedding and Event Planners in planning our wedding. Kathy Byrum was the key to securing our musicians, wait staff, cake, flowers, invitations, calligrapher, dress, hairdresser, makeup artist, decorations, officiate and valet service -- you name it, and Kathy did it! Kathy made the contacts, did all the coordination with them and us, and ensured all elements of the wedding were coordinated in the months preceding the wedding. She also organized the wedding day itself to ensure all went smoothly - including getting me and my Dad up the aisle. Kathy's attentiveness to everything was a huge stress reliever and time saver for us. She is a true professional and outstanding in her field. We could not have done it without her. Kathy and her Team made our wedding day truly memorable!

    In my personal opinion I believe that the services offered did not equate to the amount of money I spent for the services. During the planning it seemed as if I contacted, contracted and found most of the vendors for my wedding. In addition to coordinating the wedding. I gave the vendor specific instructions of what I did and did NOT want to occur on the day of my wedding and the week leading up to it. To find that what I did NOT want happened. My vendors were unable to get in contact with her thereby contacting me and asking me questions while I was trying to prepare for the day of my wedding. I think its best that if you are looking to have a wedding planner and coordinator where they actually help you and participate in creating a stress free wedding where all you have to do is make the final decision; that Dream Wedding and event planning would not be planner for you. The bulk of her advice came from the knot wedding site and not from personal experience in planning. Save your money.

    I also received an email from the vendor to another colleague accidentally talking about another bride who was unhappy as well and that the bride decided to severe the relationship and find another planner. I wish I had've done the same as well.

    Dream Wedding and Event Planners's reply:

    This bride was very satisfied with our services until she requested that we put her invited guests at tables where there were be no dinner service for them if they did not RSVP and arrived for the Reception. I advised her to call those guests that did not RSVP, but she refused to call them and wanted to put both the Coordinators, The Dearborn Inn and her guests in a very uncomfortable situation. We performed every task indicated in our contract: vendor referrals, detailed timeline, vendor coordination, etc. before and during the event. Upon our departure, the guests, Mother of the Bride, Mother of the Groom and the Groom complimented and thanked us for a job well done. Unfortunately, she chose to write a negative review with false accusations because I just could not tell her guests to sit at tables while the other guests were enjoying their meal during the Reception.
