Stan and I were dating for over three years when we started talking about marriage and how we want to spend our lives. We live in Australia, and it is a little difficult for a gay couple to get married here, so we decided to elope in New York. When we were looking for the elopement planning company, Dare To Dream popped out in the search and I instantly liked their style. I reached out to Tatiana and she asked me very on-point questions of how do I see my big day and I told her that we want to have a view. So she sends us a list of private rooftops with different city views. We were not looking for a classic venue, more urban and New York-ish. We leaned towards a private rooftop with the Empire State Building View. On a wedding day, our coordinator sends a car to pick us up, which was very sweet. We took the elevator and it brings us straight to the rooftop. The officiant and musicians were already there, so we start the ceremony right away. Vlad, our photographer, was very professional and understanding. It was a very relaxed and easy day for us, thank you Dare to Dream for bringing our dreams to life.

We decided to elope in New York and were looking for local companies that do weddings and elopements. Our idea was to get married in Brooklyn Bridge Park with the view to the Brooklyn Bridge. I found Dare to Dream company, and they have exactly what I was looking for.  Tatiana suggested to add candles, and I absolutely love that idea. So we were having a ceremony on sunset, the sky was magically pink, and candles were giving the whole ceremony very romantic touch. Vlad was our photographer, and I should say, he gets the entire picture exactly as I imagine it.  If you are looking for a creative elopement company, then Dare to Dream is what you need. They are very knowledgeable, responsible, fast, and professional. 

We live in another country, but New York was always my dream destination. I grew up watching " Sex and the City" and "Gossip Girl" and I knew I wanted to get married in there. So when we start talking about the marriage with my boyfriend, we knew we will do it in New York. As foreigners, It was hard to understand how the whole legal things work and what we need to do to get the marriage certificate. My friend recommended contact Dare to Dream NYC as her friend did a small wedding with them. Long story short, 5 months later we finally arrived at my dream city. Tatiana arranged a car to pick us up from the airport and helped to choose a hotel. We decided to recreate the Chuck and Blair wedding under the Bethesda Fountain. Vlad told me right away that it is a very touristy place and we need to arrive there earlier in order to avoid the crowds, so we came at 7 am. It was absolutely fantastic. Like in the movies! After that, we did the " Gossip Girl" photo tour around the park and did lots of pictures. It was the best day in my life and I really appreciate that Vlad and Tatiana took my idea seriously and did everything they could to make my wedding unforgettable.

Last year I used Dare to Dream NYC for the marriage proposal services. Tatiana helped to organize a breath-taking private rooftop proposal for my girlfriend. It was absolutely perfect, and Kelli likes it a lot. Vlad was our photographer, and we really liked our engagement pictures he made. So, when this year we decide to elope Dare to Dream was our obvious choice. We emailed Tatiana on Monday and by Friday we already had a venue, officiant and florist. Everything was very quick and easy.
We get eloped at the Grand Central Terminal. Yes, that is an absolutely unusual spot, but that's exactly what we wanted to do. The idea was to have a modern, stylish elopement with an accent to the pictures. We knew exactly what style of the images we were looking for, and Vlad got it right away. The ceremony was quick and after saying ' I Do,' we concentrated on the shoot.
I will highly recommend this company as they NYC based and they know exactly what they are doing. Plus they won't break your bank.

We had our elopement wedding in Central Park. We got engaged in there, so we thought it would be nice to get married there as well. Sahil was working with Dare to Dream photographer - Vlad before, as he was the photographer on his friend wedding, so he knew he could rely on him in that matter. Vlad's partner Tatiana was helping us with our wedding planning, and she was terrific. She took care of the Central Park permit and transportation, flowers, decorations, officiant, and helped my parents to book a hotel. I would say this company is very client oriented. They are very friendly and helpful. Vlad was taking pictures of the ceremony and some candid shots after. We felt no pressure, and it was one of the happiest days of our life. Also, looking back, I see how many things could go wrong, but they didn't because Tatiana was very organized and had a good schedule. I recommend this company to my friends.

My girlfriend and I wanted to get elope in New York and were looking for different companies. We wanted a very simple, easy ceremony and Dare to Dream was offering exactly what we were looking for. Tatiana was very responsive and we go over the details over the phone. We were coming from London, so she also helped us with the hotel and navigation. Our ceremony was in Central Park, at the little wooden dock overlooking the lake. It was fun, easy and intimate. Our photographer was the witness as well, that was very helpful.
