My husband and I got married at Margaritaville Palm Springs in October 2022 and used the partial planning and design services of Sara from Champagne Dreams (with her partner, Carly, assisting day of). Let me tell you... this amazing woman and her team are worth their weight in gold! From our first phone conversation I knew that Sara was the planner for me! I was a bride that needed HELP and she was there to help me in every step along the way. Not only does Champagne Dreams have tons of trusted vendor contacts all over SoCal, Sara's vibe and aesthetic was exactly what I was looking for. From day one she was super organized, tremendously creative and into all my non-traditional asks, responsive, pushed vendors to deliver the best products possible, helped me prioritize my budget, pivoted without a hitch when rain changed my ceremony & cocktail hour location DAY OF, and most importantly she totally got our vision and delivered on it flawlessly!!! Not once throughout the process did I feel like I wasn't getting what I needed from her, and while I knew I wasn't their only client (obviously), it sure did feel that way! I always felt like a priority and could tell she cared about our wedding - and that was really special. People are still talking about how beautiful all the details were - which I truly credit to Sara and her amazing design skills. Champagne Dreams made our wedding day the most magical day of our lives. You won't go wrong working with them!

I cannot express how grateful I am for choosing Sara as my wedding planner and making my wedding a magical experience! She was, without a doubt, the best investment I could have made for my special day. The entire wedding took place in March, with a breathtaking ocean view and a stunning theme that Sara transformed from a vision into a reality.

First and foremost, if you have an idea for your wedding day, trust Sara to bring it to life! She attentively listened to my ideas and created a design that was nothing short of extraordinary. I trusted her honesty about the budget. Not only did she stick to it, but she also listed additional upgrades that could enhance the design if I had some wiggle room around the budget. Guests who have attended numerous weddings, some of which have cost millions, were in complete awe of Sara’s work. My mother-in-law's friends still rave about my wedding, and it has become a memorable topic of conversation!

Another aspect I truly appreciated was Sara’s extensive network of wedding vendors. Every person she recommended—be it for flowers, cakes, or decorations—was top-notch and reasonably priced. It was comforting to know that I was in good hands with her professional choices.

Perhaps the best quality of Sara is how she takes the stress out of the wedding planning process. She consistently checked in with other wedding vendors and provided me with thorough summaries. There was one particularly hectic moment when I received an urgent email from the caterer about the menu during a demanding workday. I felt overwhelmed until, a few minutes later, Sara sent me a recommendation complete with names and various options. In that moment, I felt an immense wave of relief wash over me, and I actually wanted to kiss her for saving me from that stress!

If you're looking for a wedding planner who will become your best friend, listen to your rants, and help you realize your dreams, Sara is your go-to person. She not only stayed on budget but also delivered a fairy tale event styling with remarkable problem-solving skills while remaining composed. This is precisely the type of wedding planner you want by your side on your special day.

Thank you, Sara, for making my wedding a day to remember! You are simply the best!

We cannot thank Carly and Sara enough for the incredible job they did bringing our wedding vision to life! From start to finish, they demonstrated an unmatched attention to detail—every element was thoughtfully planned and flawlessly executed.

Their communication throughout the entire process was clear, timely, and reassuring. We always felt in the loop, supported, and genuinely cared for, which made the planning process not only smooth but actually enjoyable.

What truly sets Carly and Sara apart is how they consistently went above and beyond. Whether it was handling last-minute changes, coordinating with vendors, or simply checking in to ease our nerves, they were always one step ahead—calm, professional, and incredibly kind.

Thanks to them, we were able to be fully present and enjoy our wedding weekend without a single worry. It was an stress-free, joy-filled experience from beginning to end, and we know it wouldn’t have been the same without their care and dedication.

If you're looking for planners who are organized, communicative, thoughtful, and truly invested in making your day perfect—Carly and Sara are the absolute best. We wholeheartedly recommend them!

I cannot recommend SARA highly enough! We hired her after we had already chosen the venue and caterer thinking that we could cut down some cost. Big mistake. We encountered a lot of complications with the venue and a few vendors, but luckily Sara handled everything with professionalism, grace, and incredible problem-solving skills. She went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was absolutely perfect. She was always one step ahead, keeping us calm and confident throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail and dedication to making our vision come to life were unmatched. I mean, things always could happen and we were nervous on the big day but thanks to Sara, we were able to stress LESS on our special day. She’s an absolute gem, and anyone would be lucky to have her as their wedding planner!

Carly and the entire team at Champagne Dreams & Co. provided invaluable support during our wedding planning. As the bride, I often found myself losing my sense of calm, but Carly was a constant source of reassurance. Having Champagne Dreams to manage the details and maintain control was immensely beneficial for both my husband and me.

Throughout the planning process, Carly was instrumental in keeping us organized, reminding us of our next steps. Although the experience could be overwhelming at times, she helped me regain my composure and pace myself. While hiring a coordinating team is undoubtedly an investment, it is a decision we do not regret. Ultimately, it was one of the best choices we made, saving us from significant stress and headaches.

Planning a wedding is a yearlong commitment filled with stress and endless decisions, not to mention all the chaos on the big day. But with Carly, she made it a joyful celebration from start to finish. I can't recommend her enough!

Carly was one of two planners recommended by our venue, South Coast Winery in Temecula. We visited over 10 venues before choosing South Coast, which shows how detail-oriented and thorough we are. After looking into both planners, it was an easy decision to go with Carly. She took our vague ideas and brought them to life with a beautiful color palette and cohesive design. When she presented her vision, we barely made any changes—it was exactly what we had in mind, even though we couldn’t articulate it ourselves.

From day one, Carly was on top of everything. Since we decided to forgo a wedding party, all the planning was up to the three of us. She kept us on track, ensuring we always knew what needed to be done and when. Her experience is incredible—she thought of things we would never have considered. Whenever we felt stressed or behind, a quick call with Carly always put us at ease.

She also went above and beyond to make sure everything felt personalized just for us. Want golden hour photos? Done! Not into traditional paper invitations? No problem! Planning an outfit change? Carly made sure we had a golf cart so we wouldn't have to walk. That golf cart was a game-changer—we couldn’t have kept up with our packed timeline without it. Plus, Carly's connections with vendors helped us get great discounts, and she did everything she could to make the day go as smoothly as possible.

On our wedding day, everything was perfect. We were able to truly live in the moment, and that’s all thanks to Carly. In short, Carly is the sweetest, most organized, detail-oriented planner with amazing design skills. She'll bring your dream wedding to life, just like she did for us.

My husband and I used Champagne Dreams + Co. for our wedding day and we could not have asked for a better experience. Let me start by saying that I spoke with three different wedding coordinators before I spoke with Sara. Immediately from our conversation I knew that she understood my vision for my wedding day. Sara was there for every step of the planning process. She helped me organize my thoughts and all my ideas— even when I had a million running through my head. She helped me find all the right vendors and helped me stay within budget. As the wedding day got closer, Sara helped me organize every little detail for the wedding from the guest list to the decor. She had the best ideas for what details were most important. When our wedding day was arrived I had ZERO stress. This was because Sara had every detail of the day organized for us. My husband and I did not have to stress over anything at all. Our wedding day was absolutely magical and I give Sara all the credit in the world for everything she did for us. Thank you so much for the most perfect day!

Thank you Sara for taking our vision and bringing it to life on our wedding day! Sara makes herself available and is patient and understanding throughout the wedding planning process. It was also a huge plus that Sara was working with us from the very beginning and ultimately was at our wedding to make sure everything went as we had hoped based on our discussions and what we had noted as priorities. She took everything we had talked about and completely ran with it on the day of, which allowed us to be fully present on our wedding day and able to enjoy it rather than having to deal with all the little details since we knew she was taking care of everything - including all of our guests, making sure they were also having a good time. During the planning process, she was also available in case we had any questions and once she stepped in more as the wedding date approached, she was a welcome buffer to the couple of last minute vendor issues. Thank you again Sara and the team from Champagne Dreams + Co for helping make our wedding day into our perfect day!

I’m still beaming with happiness as I type this review from my wedding a couple weeks ago that Carly & the Champagne Dreams team planned. So many people have asked me about my experience (and they know I’m quite particular) and my answer continues to be that I cannot recommend them enough. I’d do it ten times over and pay twice as much. Carly & the team knows their stuff, they are friendly & warm yet professional and prepared, their communication is 10/10. I never once felt alone in the process, and never once had to question if we were moving at the appropriate planning place. Carly was always 10 steps ahead. She listens, is easy to work with, is empathetic to the craziness that comes with many so many choices, and never pushes back if you change your mind on things. I wish I could scream it from the mountain tops- I highly recommend Carly & the team!!! They truly made our dream wedding come to life & I can’t thank them enough.

We absolutely love Sara! Sara and her team made our wedding day everything we hoped for. We mainly worked with Sara as our day of planner with design and I knew we would work well together from our first phone call. Our wedding was only six months away and both my husband and I had very busy schedules. They really made sure that nothing fell through the cracks. She helped us make every decision and was available through text/email/call etc. I sent her every question I had and she would get back to me so quickly. We truly felt cared for throughout the planning process. We love you and thank you!
