Absolutely the best

Aubrey and Brian are ABSOLUTELY THE BEST wedding planners we could have ever asked for! From the moment we met them, it was clear that we were in great hands. They are not only incredibly talented professionals but also genuinely kind and wonderful individuals who made our wedding planning experience an absolute joy.

One of the things that stood out to us was their exceptional communication. Throughout the entire process, they kept in touch with us through phone calls, texts, and emails, making sure we were always on the same page. Their timely reminders and updates made us feel reassured and confident that everything was being taken care of. No detail was too small for them to address, and it really made us feel like a top priority.

Choosing the partial planning package turned out to be the perfect decision for us. Although it was not the full package, it certainly felt like it! Aubrey and Brian went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our wedding was planned to perfection. From coordinating with vendors to managing the timeline, they handled it all with grace and expertise.

Not only were they on top of everything, but they also offered their services at a reasonable price point. Their dedication to delivering a fantastic experience for their clients without breaking the bank is truly commendable. We felt like we received more than what we paid for, and that's a testament to their passion for what they do.

Our wedding day was nothing short of perfect, and that's all thanks to Aubrey and Brian. Their attention to detail, creativity, and organizational skills made everything run smoothly, allowing us to fully enjoy the day without any stress. It was evident that they genuinely cared about making our dreams come true, and they exceeded our expectations in every way.

We cannot recommend Aubrey and Brian enough! If you're looking for wedding planners who will go above and beyond to make your special day truly unforgettable, then look no further. Their professionalism, friendliness, and expertise make them an absolute joy to work with. We are forever grateful to them for making our wedding an incredible and memorable experience.

Wedding Reception

Figuring our drinks is hard for a big event but with Brian it felt like a complete breeze. His care and attention to detail meant so much to us. We had a lot of questions and he took the time to not only call us but responded quickly to all the follow up questions and worries we had. He was so thorough in guiding us through the process. The mixed drinks were delicious and his bartenders were so kind and efficient. Many of our guests frequented the bar multiple times for the quality service and incredible drinks. Do yourself a favor and book them for all your needs!

Hiring Daring to Dream was the best Decision!

Daring to Dream is above all a thoughtful and professional team that is more than capable of handling all your wedding needs. For my daughter’s wedding, we chose Daring to Dream for Bar service and our photo booth. Brian was very helpful in assisting us in taking care of every aspect of drink service, from detailed shopping lists to the idea of having hydration stations instead of water bottles (best decision ever!). On the day of, they took care of everything, so that even on one of the hottest days in San Miguel everyone had refreshing water and a cold drink! The signature cocktails were amazing and a big hit with guests. One of the biggest life savers was that Daring to Dream took care of pick up and handling of the ice, which alone was such an amazing service that I literally could not imagine what the day would have been without it. And the photo booth was perfect. The photo booth itself is classy and super fun. We opted for the addition of the photo printer which was a great addition for guests to have a way to remember the day. There are other options out there for your wedding needs, but I would recommend Daring to Dream over and over again. If you are looking for a team of professionals who are knowledgeable and kind, and who will make your big day run smoothly look no further! Thank you so much for all you did!

The MVP of Vendors!

Look no further for your bartending needs!!

Brian & the Daring to Dream staff were the MVPs of our wedding vendor teams! Brian offered consistent support from the initial phone call to the day-of. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the wedding industry and the flow of events-- I always ended a conversation with him feeling confident and secure. His signature cocktails for our event (a watermelon margarita & pineapple rum situation) were HUGE hits. He uses fresh ingredients and provides a detailed shopping list for those who are purchasing their own alcohol. Our guests raved about his bar team's service, the quality of the cocktails, and the positive energy they brought to the event. We also used Daring to Dream for additional staff to assistant from set-up/during/take-down and these team members were incredibly professional, well-versed in the art of hospitality, and made such a difference in the flow and support of our day.

For anyone in the Central Coast region of CA, THIS is the partner you want for your event!

175-Person Wedding Weekend

Aubrey, Brian, and their team were amazing to work with for our 175-person wedding weekend! Between coordination, bartending, and staffing, they made sure everything came together beautifully. Aubrey handled the wedding weekend like a pro, she kept us on schedule (or flexed when we needed to adjust), managed so many moving parts, and did it all with a calm, collected energy that gave us so much peace of mind.

Brian and the bartending team were fantastic and kept the drinks flowing all weekend. Their entire crew was hardworking, helpful, and so kind to us and our guests.

We’re so grateful to have had them as part of our vendor team. They helped make our weekend even better than we imagined. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a solid, reliable, and fun team to bring their event to life!

An Unforgettable Experience with Daring to Dream Events!

Choosing Brian and Aubrey from Daring to Dream Events was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. There are no words to fully express our deep gratitude for everything they did. From our first meeting, we knew they were not only our planners, but mentors who guided us through the wedding and the meaning of marriage itself.

Coming from Ohio for a destination wedding, we weren’t sure why we felt led to California, but once we met Brian and Aubrey, it became clear—this was part of a bigger plan. Their warmth, professionalism, and dedication made our day flawless, and they helped us enjoy every moment stress-free. They treated us like family, and their energy made the wedding day even more fun and memorable.

With 25 years of experience, they ensured every detail was perfect, but what set them apart was their genuine care for us as a couple. They didn’t just plan our wedding—they helped us understand the deeper significance of the vows we were taking.

We will forever be grateful for everything they did to make our dream wedding come to life. If you're looking for a team that goes above and beyond to create an unforgettable experience, Brian and Aubrey are it. Thank you, Daring to Dream Events—you made our day truly special!

Highly recommend daring to dream!

We had the best experience with Daring to Dream as our bartending service for our wedding. During our first phone call, Brian was very thorough & asked all the right questions which made me super confident in our decision! He was also very helpful throughout the planning process by reviewing glassware rentals and suggesting ways to save money and by providing a shopping list. On the day of their bartenders were great and the cocktails were SO good!! Highly recommend Brian & the Daring to Dream team

Perfect month of wedding coordination services

I hired Aubrey at Daring to Dream Events for month of wedding coordination service, and I'm so glad I did. Aubrey was amazing, friendly, and helpful throughout the whole process.

I do corporate events for a living, so I'm quite in tune with all it takes to plan and execute events - and I can truly say I'm so thankful to have had Daring to Dream Events with me on my special day. Aubrey and Evie were extremely dependable on the days leading up to and on the wedding day and always remained calm, cool and collected. They paid attention to detail and were thorough in asking questions and clarifying exactly what I wanted to ensure everything went successful on wedding day. They were both very upbeat and positive and always came to me with solutions instead of problems or any issues that would arise. I got a lot of compliments from our wedding guests about how great they both were and how helpful they had been throughout the wedding.

It was a relief to have them there on my special day and I'm forever thankful for their support and help! I would highly recommend hiring Aubrey for any wedding or special event you have to plan - you won't regret it!
