About

Hi There!

My name is Drema Joyce. I have been planning weddings and events for over 20 years. What started out as a little side job has blossomed into a full time job. God blessed me with an amazing husband and family who supported my dream to one day do this full time. For the last 5 years God has allowed me to wake up every day living out my dream. Making it even better is my fabulous staff who love people!

Turning someone's vision or DREAM into a reality is so rewarding. I find myself tearing up and my heart full of joy as family and guests compliment and praise our work. We have GOD giving talents and are more blessed than we deserve. From planning months in advance, to jumping in at the last minute, we love it all and are ready to GO !

I offer many different types of services and I am also on the Preferred Vendor List at Barclay Villa.

Hired for day of coordinator

Drema was so responsive, professional, & went above her duties as our “just” day of coordinator. I loved every bit of working with her to make our wedding phenomenal!!

Dreama is a dream come true!!

Drema made everything about our wedding an absolute dream!! She made us feel like we were family and made each meeting or appointment so special for all of us. She is so knowledgable with every aspect of the planning process and the big day. Drema helped us set realistic goals for everything we were hoping to include and made sure the special moments we wanted were extra special!!

Amazing Experience! She made my day so smooth

Working with Drema was a dream :) She made the day so go so smoothly. I was getting married in NC near family, but living quite a ways away. She made it very easy to meet virtually and I knew everything was handled. She even helped with some difficult family members on the day of. She was so kind and a perfect person to help coordinate the day. She also did my flowers and they were PERFECT!

Every Event is like living the Dreama!

Dreama is absolutely fantastic! I have had the pleasure of working with Ms. Dreama many times! Every time I see her I am so amazed at how bright and happy she is! Her organization and amazing team spirit is so refreshing and makes working with her an absolute joy every time! I can't say enough great things about her! But don't take my word for it, find out for yourself just how amazing she can be for your special day!

We hired Drema for day of coordination, and she went above and beyond her duties to make sure that I was prepared and comfortable well before the day of. She kept our timeline on point day of, and was extremely helpful overall! It was great to have her as my go to, my mom lives in CA so it felt like I could go to Drema in the same way I would have gone to my mom. She even helped me make a new bouquet after the wedding since mine got lost. So happy with the service we received from Drema!!

When my daughter Alison and I first met with Drema Joyce to discuss the possibility of her being a Day-of-Coordinator for Ali’s wedding at the Barclay Villa, I walked into the meeting with a great deal of cynicism since I was going to be my kids’ wedding planner and didn’t want anyone to get in my way. We were only seeking a Day-of-Coordinator because Barclay required it. Meeting Drema changed my mind completely. She is so personable and exudes such confidence in what she does that Ali and I were immediately won over.

In spite of only being hired to do work for us on the wedding day, Drema consistently checked in with us and offered to do anything that she could to help us throughout the planning process. She truly loves what she does! Working with a Mom-zilla did not make Drema’s job easy, but on the wedding day, she successfully coordinated the arrival of the vendors, setup before and cleanup after the reception, as well as doing her best to make the day as stress-free as possible for Alison and me. Since I was far too vested in every wedding detail, de-stressing me was an impossible task, but she continued to be as friendly and helpful as she was in spite of my “zilla” behavior, I can only imagine what a fantastic planner she would be for someone more willing to let go and be a guest at their own event. Given her kind heart and attention to detail, I would highly recommend her to help you plan your wedding or other big event.
