The best of the best!

We simply couldn't be happier with our experience with Dream Day Weddings. At every step of the way my, now wife, and I were in very capable hands. Cheryl went above and beyond our expectations. She helped make our wedding absolutely everything we could have ever wanted, was so on top of everything, was completely professional and friendly and truly a delight to work with.

She has insight and referrals for all of your vendor needs through the planning process. The day of our wedding she had everything working like a finely tuned machine.

After waiting over a decade to marry the love of my life, I am so glad we trusted Cheryl and her team with our special day. If we had to go back and do it again we would absolutely pick her every time! Could not recommend her more. She will make you feel safe, taken care of, special and welcomed. She is THE BEST of the best.

My needs were more limited than I thought Cheryl would be interested in, but I was a little desperate so I gave her a call. She happened to have the date open, so she agreed to a reasonable contract for my limited needs. What a blessing! … More

Cheryl was amazing!! We had a private ceremony planned, on the beach, at sunset. The forecast for the day of the wedding was rain, from 6pm on. Cheryl rearranged her schedule so we could still get married on the beach, before the rain came … More

Cheryl was great, I was a complete pain but she got me through it with a super cheerful attitude. Sam (shuttersam) was amazing too. I can’t imagine having a wedding without either of them, it was a perfect day.

My needs were more limited than I thought Cheryl would be interested in, but I was a little desperate so I gave her a call. She happened to have the date open, so she agreed to a reasonable contract for my limited needs. What a blessing! She was responsive, encouraging, knowledgeable and thorough!! She made so many small details fall into place and helped my event have the "Wow!" factor I was hoping for... Cheryl at Dream Day Weddings was terrific!!

Dream Day made our elopement everything we wanted

Cheryl coordinated our wedding on Oval Beach last week and it was possibly the most beautiful wedding I have ever attended (of course, I'm a little biased). The flowers were incredible, Anji, the photographer was so laid back and unobtrusive (and the early photos she shared with us are gorgeous), and Cheryl made everything so easy. It was a real joy to just show up at the beach at the last minute and everything was taken care of, beautifully. I am so happy we decided to work with Dream Day. Our wedding was everything we wanted, and more.

Invaluable!!!

My husband and I had a beautiful ceremony in Saugatuck this past August. The idea of planning an out of state wedding seemed daunting till Cheryl with Dream Day Weddings entered the picture and became our personal wedding guru. She is meticulous, efficient, and has established great relationships with many vendors in the area. Cheryl orchestrated our special day beautifully. With all of the prep work she had us do beforehand, we were able to focus on celebrating with our friends and family. The hours ticked by too quickly, but we made many amazing memories on that day, all thanks to Cheryl. We cannot recommend her enough!

The most magical day of our lives❤️

I came across Cheryl online after realizing the dream of a Caribbean destination wedding was just way to stressful. I reached out to her on 7/18/22 & immediately got a call back. We spoke for over 1hr & from that day on it was like I was talking to a friend, I never once questioned our decision to go with Cheryl. We wanted to get married on 8/18, in 4 weeks. I thought she was going to tell me we were insane. But that was not the case, she assured me we had plenty of time for our small beach ceremony ( 22 people total). Shortly after booking I was informed that Cheryl would in fact be the one marrying us & Kim, the photographer who took "the most perfect wedding picture" that got my attention on the page would also be doing our ceremony as well. Everything was just falling into place, I kept thinking to myself there has to be a hiccup in the planning somewhere, that's just my luck? We were absolutely blown away how smooth everything went, not 1 issue at all! Cheryl & I spoke a handful of times & it was just because I kept feeling like there was something I needed to do at my end & she continued to reassure me that all I had to do was show up with our marriage license. We are so beyond grateful that we found Cheryl, she is an absolute rock star at what she does. I never dreamed our wedding day would turn out to be as perfect as it was. Every person in attendance commented on how magical it was & it truly was just that. The ceremony Cheryl wrote for us you would have thought she had been a part of our love story from the very beginning. Our flowers..I could not have done a better job picking them out myself, they were gorgeous & lasted weeks on our dining room table. And Kim, she is another professional that is amazing at her job also. We felt so comfortable with her & had a blast with our shoot, she was so much fun! We couldn't be any happier with our pictures. Thank you Dream Day Weddings Team, you made this girls dreams into reality. If you are looking are a wedding planner that completely takes ALL THE STRESS away from you & is 100% professional & wont break the bank- look no further, Cheryl is the GOAT at what she does. Looking back, my only regret is not inviting Cheryl & Kim to the Black River Tavern to celebrate with us afterwards.

She made our dream wedding come to life!

From the moment we met Cheryl and before anything was officially even booked, we felt such a sense of relief and excitement. From start to finish, she listened to us, offered suggestions, answered hundreds of questions and just went with the flow if something needed to change. Our ceremony was perfect - gorgeous flowers, decorations, pictures...everything. Her talking points during the ceremony were completely tailored to us as a couple, which was very important to us. She even met with us the night before our ceremony to "officially" marry us so we could have that special moment just the two of us. She's the type of person that will do anything in her power to make you and your significant other happy. She literally made our dream wedding come to life and we are so grateful!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
