My outdoor rain wedding

Your Dream Day was an essential piece of my wedding experience. Kathy worked extremely hard to make my wedding vision come true. She spoke with me on the phone for many hours, met me for several lunches, several venue tours, and did several run throughs. It down poured on my outdoor wedding day. Kathy gave all my guests umbrellas, she cleaned guests seats with towels, she carried my train above water. The list of things she did behind the scenes to make my wedding perfect - I could truly go on and on. Booking with Kathy and Your Dream Day is an absolute must!! Most importantly Kathy became the emotional support I truly needed during this time and that was invaluable to me

100% Recommend

Kathy is phenomenal to work with! She knows her stuff and is really good at it! We used content creator package. We had videos of our wedding the next day and I loved having all of the little snippets! She also made us a highlight video of the whole day and other small videos of other precious moments. We 100% recommend!

Friend for Life

This is going to be a long one, but Kathy is SO worth it! Kathy and I first met during one of many rough times in my life. I had just lost two wedding venues (one closed and one gave our date away) and had just had arm surgery (which I was awake for and it didn't go great, so I was very traumatized at the time) and I was running late trying to parallel park my car with one arm. I remember Kathy calling and me crying on the phone saying how I was struggling to park and Kathy offered to park the car for me. The moment she whipped that car into its spot, I knew she was the one for me. I have numerous health issues and trying to explain my dream wedding and how those issues fit into it, as well as all the normal overwhelming aspects of wedding planning, seemed daunting to explain to a stranger, but Kathy really understood. She got it. Meeting Kathy was one of the best things that ever happened to me honestly. She not only got my wedding back on track, but became one of my closest friends and confidants. Kathy helped me find the most amazing vendors, from the photographer to the DJ, and averted so many crises, from helping find someone to rescue my dress the day before the wedding after the alterationist didn't finish it (but said he did, amongst other issues) to making the random "bubble guy" disappear (apparently people follow wedding parties now and literally stalk you to the church and then offer to blow bubbles for photos for money, but he wouldn't leave after we said no until Kathy stepped in) and everything in between. If you are the person that crazy, random stuff happens to all the time and you really need someone who is at the top of their game, I cannot recommend Kathy enough. If you are looking for someone who will be a friend and a confidant, a protector and manager and emotional support through a challenging part of your life, I recommend Kathy. If you are looking for someone who is a genuinely kind and happy person who will make you feel safe and better about yourself after every conversation you have with them, I recommend Kathy. Kathy, thank you, truly from the bottom of my heart, for making it Our Dream Day! We love you!

Wedding planner

If you need assistance for your big day look no further. Kathy has so much experience in the wedding world. She has access to so many contacts that she’s built a rapport with, has many planning tools to help ease your mind and overall is just such a great person to work with. Kathy is very responsive, professional and super detail oriented. She helps with planning and day of process. She runs the show and was assertive AND kind. Weddings have so many moving pieces and she is quick to make decisions on the fly, to keep the couple out of the “drama” and mishaps. She did so many things for us, food runs, battery runs, ironed our dresses, was prepared with emergency kits. All in all to save yourself so much stress book with kathy to have your actual dream day! In the end you will be so happy to have all the help provided

Thank you thank you thank you

As a DIY bride, my mother and I strived to try and do everything ourselves. As the wedding day was approaching, we realized we could not pull off doing everything ourselves and keep our sanity. We knew we needed help, and then we found Kathy from Your Dream Day, and I think we both were kicking ourselves that we didn’t find her sooner. Kathy took on the crucial details that we hadn’t even thought about. She made sure everything went smoothly from rehearsal dinner to reception. She continuously went above and beyond for us, and cannot imagine the day without her. My advice for future brides is to get you a Kathy for you dream day 🤍

Worth every penny!

Your Dream Day crew was absolutely amazing! They took my vision and brought it to life. Kathy was so well organized and made sure everything was perfect. Through out the planning process Kathy was there for solutions and ideas. I could have never made it through the stress of planning without her. The team that came with Kathy the day of, was amazing and worked so hard to get everything perfect. I can’t recommend Your Dream Day enough!

Caring, Creative, and Competent

Kathy is a great person and wedding planner. Our reception was "nontraditional" due to the pandemic and a surprise/unwelcome cancer diagnosis. The reception ended up being held on our two-year anniversary. Even though we had hired her prior to everything when we first got engaged, she was compassionate and understanding about our need to delay and be flexible. She helped us navigate that and always worked at 110% to bring our vision to life in its adapted form. Kathy listened to every part of our vision and requests (broadcast the derby?... "yes, let's do that!" Serve mint juleps?... "How fun!" Skip the traditional wedding cake?... "great idea. Let's save a ton of money by buying sheet cakes and serving it straight from the kitchen!" and so on.) She brought all of our visions to life, and our guests have told us that it was the best wedding that they have ever attended. We are so grateful!

Kathy was a great wedding planner! She knows the wedding scene in Cincinnati, where we got married, and once she got to know us, she knew the sorts of places that would be the best fit for our wedding.

Blood sweat and tears she’s your girl!

Your dream day is the perfect name because hiring Kathy is exactly what made it that. I thought I could do this all myself and when it comes down to it, I didn’t want to remember how stressed I was making sure little details were happening behind the scenes. I wanted to relax enjoy my day and my husband. I literally could not have done this without her. She works hard, she runs, she sweats, and she makes sure the day happens exactly how you need it. She also was very good at reacting to a slight change in something and making it happen and moving on. She is a good listener and makes sure not only the bride and groom are taken care of but everyone else too. She is on top of it and all the questions I got everyday from family about the wedding day my answer was “Kathy’s got it.” She did. When she says she’s the first there and the last to leave she is. After the wedding we had minimal work to do, she had our cars packed with all our decorations, cake she cut for us, leftover food, our sand ceremony wrapped in bubble wrap etc. unbelievable how easy she made our day. The good lord made our paths cross at just the right time and I am so blessed they did. You should hire her!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
