    I just want to give thanks and huge "Mahalo" to Colleen for planning our Hawaiian wedding on such short notice, and on a holiday weekend. We started planning this ourselves a year ago but got busy with work, the holidays and life, and before we knew it, it was January 2015. We contacted Colleen and she was very receptive and had some wonderful ideas for us. She secured a beautiful beach venue for our wedding and supplied the most amazing fresh flower leis for the entire bridal party. There were flowers everywhere, on the archway and the chairs and it made for some beautiful photos. Our reception dinner was held at a restaurant in the hills with a beautiful ocean view, and again as we arrived everything was decorated with beautiful flowers and candlelight, thanks to Colleen. My Grandmother said she had never seen a more beautiful wedding in her life. Everything went off without a hitch and we were so grateful to have found Colleen. I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for a professional of the highest caliber.

    We got married last month on a beach in Hawaii. The ceremony was just between the bride and groom, no family or friends were in attendance. Therefore, we needed our reception to “re-create” the beach wedding atmosphere and offered the perfect opportunity to share our video and photos with our families. I was fortunate to contact Colleen when I was shopping for the wedding leis. She was very enthusiastic and had very creative ideas for our “beach type” reception. Colleen flew out to California and handled the event. She decorated the tables with beautiful “light-up” centerpieces complete with floating candles and natural flowers. She handled all the activities from our grand entrance to the cutting of the cake with such great ease and gracefulness that I was able to relax and actually enjoy my wedding reception. We would highly recommend Colleen as a very experienced wedding planner. She is very easy to work with and is extremely responsive to our needs and recommendations. Thank you Colleen for making our special day so very magical.

    Just a quick note to say thank you to Colleen and the team at Dream Weddings in Paradise. We all flew in (24 of us) from Atlanta to St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands. Colleen's team thought of everything for our group, not only all of the traditional items we wanted for our amazing gorgeous beach wedding and fabulous decor, but limos from the airport to our private beach villas, a welcome cocktail party Friday night, snorkeling and golf for everyone that weekend, spa services, and our beautiful beach wedding. She recommended the best services to us and she was right - experience counts and it showed in all of the little details. Everyone is still talking about what a great time we all had! :-)

    All my life I have dreamed of having a wedding in Hawaii. Colleen listened to my dreams and made it a reality. She stayed within our budget and yet created the most beautiful wedding...everything was perfect...the weather. the flowers. the music, the entertainment...absolutely flawless. It was even better than I imagined it would be and we want to send a big Aloha and thanks to Dream Weddings. I thought planning a destination wedding from Denver might be tough but she put our minds at ease and took great care with every detail. For sure we would recommend her to anyone looking to get married on the Big Island of Hawaii!

    Planning a wedding in Hawaii from Virginia was becoming overwhelming and almost impossible. Colleen took the lead on everything. After listening to the style and vision I had for my event, she located a private venue, which ended up being beyond beautiful and perfect for my event with 25 out of town guests. Every last detail from the beautiful elegant décor, to the lighting, the music, the food, to the flowers (the Leis were gorgeous) were very unique and inspired by Colleen. She was able to capture the intended theme and tie in elements that I considered important. My event went flawlessly and my guests, and I were able to just enjoy the afternoon and evening! Colleen was a delight and is very professional and goes above and beyond. I recommend her to everybody!

    Everything was wonderful, from start to finish. I would definitely recommend Colleen. Quality of service was 5 star. She was responsive with 24 hours or so (and sometimes sooner) to all of our emails and calls, She was professional and friendly, had great ideas for us, and was very accommodating to my changes that I had to make to add additional guests part way through the planning - what a gem! We had a perfect day and it was thanks to having Colleen behind the scenes! Thank you!

    I have had the privilege on three separate occasions of using Colleen to successfully orchestrate spectacular company Christmas events (2010/11/12). Each one had a different venue and Colleen with her wonderful team handled everything with ease. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and (as always) raved about how much fun they had. Colleen has an incredible talent for organizing events with attention to every detail. Add this to her business acumen and marketing background and you have a real winner in the event planning arena. I highly recommend her for your next personal or corporate event!

    Colleen and her team were amazing! Choosing Colleen as my wedding planner was the best thing I ever did. I watched my friend at her wedding struggle without a planner and that is when I decided my day would be different. So glad I chose Colleen. She made the entire experience relaxing and stress free. Colleen was very responsive to my emails and calls and has wonderful very creative ideas. She was on top of every little thing and knew exactly what to do at what point in the process, while planning our wedding months before, and on the day of the event. From handling all our wants and still staying inside of our budget to coordinating the photographer, caterer, florist, videographer, etc and recommending the best of the best suppliers, the entire process was seamless. Colleen really went out of her way for us and above and beyond our expectations. We would definitely recommend her for your wedding or a special event. You will be glad you chose Colleen. The expertise really showed when we needed it most.

    Colleen was the perfect wedding planner. Her confidence, knowledge, and friendliness put us at ease and we immediately knew we were in good hands. We found out very fast just how much we really needed help. Colleen had an outstanding ability to truly understand the type of wedding we desired, and was able to offer invaluable experience and guidance to help make it a reality.

    Colleen is genuine, thoughtful and sincerely cares. It's hard to imagine how we would ever had managed without her. She skillfully kept all the various aspects of the wedding planning on schedule and well organized, anticipated upcoming hurdles, while at the same time projecting a sense of calm. She also paid great attention to detail, and knew the particular aspects we especially cared about on the day of wedding.

    Even though we were both nervous about getting married, we were able to relax and thoroughly enjoy our wedding – Thank you Colleen!

    Dream Weddings in Paradise was exactly that – a perfect Dream Wedding! We had our ceremony and reception in Hawaii on the Big Island. Since my husband and I are from California we were unsure of how to plan the perfect destination wedding but Colleen and her team handled everything perfectly for us. I was so relieved and didn’t have to worry about a thing! She thought of things I didn’t even think of and really made it the most exquisite beautiful day of our lives! She was there from start to finish and her entire team was so good and so professional. Every tiny detail was thought out. We can’t thank you guys enough!

    I want to give my highest recommendation to the team at Dream Weddings In
    Paradise. We had the perfect wedding, with our large family, in a beautiful
    countryside setting in San Diego, California. My family is from New York
    and his is from San Diego so it would have been hard for me to pull it all
    together with our crazy work schedules but Colleen stepped in and handled it
    all for us, culminating in a wedding that all of our guests raved about for
    weeks afterwards. She really listened to our wants and desires and executed
    them flawlessly. Thank you Colleen and Dream Weddings!
