About

We do a lot of daydreaming about weddings. Not about the table linens, or the flowers, or the venue, but about the couple. How can we make their experience as smooth as possible? How can make sure that they only have fond memories of the months (or weeks?!) of planning, how can we help them to welcome their guests into an environment that epitomizes them as a couple? We do a lot of daydreaming.

Team Daydreams

Jessica and Sara have a combined experience of over twenty years in the event world. They started working together at a non-profit in D.C. where they organized everything from large-scale conferences to intimate high-design gatherings. They bonded through many years of creating amazing events together, solving event challenges, and many, many, hours of travel together - including more than a few travel disasters. When Jessica started Daydreams Sara was the first person that she sought out when thinking of the best person to help bring the creative vision of the company to life, and they are so happy to be working together again. When looking to relax together you can find them on a long walk, enjoying tea time, or looking for the best bourbon cocktail in whatever city they're in.

Jessica's background in business and hospitality paired Sara's background in interior and event design make them the perfect match to make all Daydreams events awesome. Both have a love for sustainability and finding innovative ways to ensure that the events that they are involved with have as an minimal impact on the environment as possible.

Wonderful support from Jessica and Sara!

We hired The Secret Life of Daydreams with the assumption that we would only need minor support for planning our wedding in November 2021. But as any event planner knows, lots of small things always come up when you're trying to plan the big pieces of the event! Jessica and Sara were invaluable throughout our wedding planning process and ensured that our wedding went off without a hitch. Planning an event during the pandemic was challenging, but Jessica made herself available for emotional and practical planning support, and went above and beyond to ensure that we had contingency plans in the event that we had to change venues at the last minute. Jessica and Sara advocated for our wishes behind the scenes and worked to ensure that we had a detailed schedule on the day of our event. They were easy to work with, responsive and incredibly kind.

Wonderful Experience with Jessica & Sara

I can’t put into words how much I loved their service. My wedding was postponed 3 times because of COVID and these two women helped me navigate the pandemic and then successfully and safely pull off our final reception at the end.

They were professional, kind and responsive through the whole experience and I couldn’t imagine experiencing a year and a half of wedding mayhem with anybody else.

I jam packed my wedding with a lot of activities and I really gave them a challenge with dealing with a multitude of vendors for only a 4 hour reception, and they executed everything perfectly. It was so nice to turn off my brain for the last month when they took everything over for our Month Of Planning service.

Thank you again Jessica & Sara!

Great Wedding Planning!

Jessica and The Secret Life of Daydreams were amazing to work with!

Her “Partial Package” provided us all the support we needed to host the wedding of our dreams, at a price we could afford.

In the months leading up to the wedding, Jessica helped us locate vendors who were professional, responsive and courteous. She also helped us create a wedding design that was elegant, while also reflecting our personal style.

On the day-of Jessica stage managed the whole event and made sure everything went off without a hitch!

Thank you Jessica & The Secret Life of Daydreams for all your help!

Could not have imagined our wedding without them

From the day we first met Jessica and Sara, we knew they were the right fit for us. Throughout the planning process, Jessica was always there to help. Even though she was working with us as our month of wedding coordinator, she was more than willing to answer any questions or review any vendor contracts beforehand. Because our wedding was around the winter holiday season, Jessica even took over communicating with vendors a little before a month from our wedding. We knew that we were in good hands and didn't have to worry about anything.

Prior to the day of the wedding, Jessica consistently communicated with us so that we were aware of every little detail. While we appreciated the open communication, we also had complete faith that Jessica would take care of anything that came up and we were right. This allowed us to spend time with our family and friends prior to the wedding without stressing about the big day.

Our wedding day could not have gone any better thanks to Jessica and her team! Jessica was so organized. She had every minute of the day planned out and made sure that it went smoothly. We were able to thoroughly enjoy every minute of our wedding day care free!

So, if you're looking for an organized, detail oriented, and caring event planner, Jessica and Sara from The Secret Life of Daydreams is for you!

Outstanding Planners

Hiring Sara and Jessica as our planners was one of the best decisions we could have made. They are amazingly organized and on it - all with a smile on their faces. Basically, they're everything you could want wedding planners to be.

We owe our seamless wedding to them!

We absolutely loved working with Secret Life of Daydreams for our wedding, and they were the key to its success! My husband and I didn't have to to worry about a thing on our wedding day or the days leading up to it! We will always be so grateful to Sara for making the whole planning experience feel so special, and for executing a truly seamless event. Wedding planning can be stressful in the final few months, and it meant the world to really have true partnership with this vendor. I was sad when the wedding was over because it meant we wouldn't get to hang out and collaborate more!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
