A Dream Wedding

Hiring Echo was the single best decision we made for our wedding. Most planners bring organization and communication to their process but Echo brings so much more. Her expertise, extensive vendor contacts and level of detail is what made our wedding day spectacular. Planning details and making decisions can be challenging ( especially for those like me who really wanted & needed the support) but Echo made us feel comfortable and confident through the whole process. Echo. From the bottom of our hearts. Thank you for playing such a role in our dream wedding. Kevin & Cole Galyon

Echo was absolutely amazing throughout the process of our wedding planning. She navigated us every step of the way through Covid postponements, special requests, vendor changes and so much more. She's incredibly detailed oriented and kept us on track despite our crazy work schedules. Echo was quick to pick up on our preferences and went to bat on our behalf whenever needed. She's highly respected in the area and put is touch with the best vendors to meet our needs. In the end, Echo facilitated an amazing wedding for us despite all of the headwinds of these past few years and we truly could not have done it without her. Don't think twice - choose Echo!

I have never been more exited to write a review for someone than I am to write this one, but there is so much to say about Echo that I hardly know where to begin! Echo / A Dream Wedding was recommended to us by a woman working at Calistoga Ranch back in 2019 during a tour of the property (before it sadly burned in one of the fires). She told us that if we hadn't hired a wedding planner yet we should contact Echo right away to find out if she had any room left in her schedule for us and that she was the best planner in Napa and provided exceptional service, going above and beyond for her clients. This was probably the most critical advice we received during the entire wedding planning process, and turned out to be absolutely true! We hired Echo shortly after that, and she stuck with us for the next 2 and half years through one last minute venue change (due to sudden construction) followed by two postponements due to COVID-19. Even without the pandemic going on in the background (not to mention the fires raging in and around Napa every year) we were a challenging family to work with, having "too many cooks in the kitchen" and family members with often starkly contrasted points of view about everything from the color palette to whether or not to serve brussels sprouts. Echo handled everything we threw at her with patience, professionalism, kindness, and dedication, and despite everything managed to pull together an amazing wedding that made everyone happy and completely brought our vision to life. Her company name is true to its word! She was communicative and it felt like she was always available when we needed her, despite working with many other couples at the same time. I would have sworn we were her only wedding if I didn't know otherwise, based on the time and attention she gave us. We never felt like she was splitting her attention too many ways or like we weren't a priority. She had a great list of recommended vendors to work with, and tailored her suggestions based on what we were looking for. We chose most of our vendors based on the recommendations she made (and don't regret a single one). She kept track of all of our details flawlessly, even when we ourselves had lost track of things in between the postponements and couldn't remember what decisions we'd made, and did her best to keep us on target with deadlines to avoid leaving things to the last minute and adding extra stress. Finally, there was her work during the actual wedding weekend itself! We hired her to plan both our rehearsal dinner and wedding (great decision). On both days she managed everything flawlessly, tackling issues big and small quickly and effectively so that we never would have known anything was amiss if she hadn't revealed some of them to us after the fact. All we had to do was show up and follow the timeline and everything went smoothly and according to plan. She checked in with us throughout the day to make sure any last minute changes were run by us first and that we weren't too stressed and were happily enjoying our events. We could feel just how much she cares about her work and doing a good job to make sure her couples have no regrets about their wedding day. We literally could not have designed, planned, or hosted our wedding weekend without her!
