Louise Sent on 07/07/2025Dream Day Events Made Our Daughter’s Wedding Truly a Dream Come True
If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner—do it, and hire Dream Day Events! My daughter and I recently worked with Ally and Rachael to help plan and execute our daughter’s wedding, and I cannot say enough about the exceptional service, care, and professionalism they provided. From the very first conversation, I knew they were exactly who we needed to bring our daughter’s vision to life—beautifully and within budget.
I interviewed a few different wedding planners and felt confident that any of them could have done a great job—but there was just something special about Ally and Rachael. We instantly clicked. They were incredibly professional, yet so warm and approachable—you immediately felt like you were talking to a friend. After nearly a year of planning together, I can honestly say we didn’t just have amazing planners—we’ve made a friend.
Planning a wedding from out of town comes with its challenges, especially when many guests are also traveling long distances. We really wanted to enjoy the entire weekend with our family and friends, not be bogged down with last-minute details, timeline coordination, or unexpected issues. That’s where Dream Day Events was a game-changer.
Ally was the main planner for our daughter’s wedding, but both she and Rachael were involved throughout the entire process—always available, always responsive. On the wedding day, both of them were there for over 12 hours, making sure every detail was flawlessly executed. Knowing we were in such capable hands allowed us to be fully present for one of the most meaningful days of our lives.
Leading up to the big day, they handled contracts and vendor communication, created and shared a clear timeline, and made sure everyone was on the same page. On the day itself, they were everywhere—handling everything, solving problems before they even reached us, and keeping everything on schedule.
Some of the standout touches that truly set them apart:
They packed up all of our décor after the reception and loaded it into our car. They returned the keys to our hotel for us.
They made sure the gift table and card box were secure and brought to the hotel for the bride and groom.
They even checked the bride and groom into their hotel room and set up the suite for their wedding night.
These thoughtful, personal touches reflect how deeply Ally and Rachael care—and how much pride they take in their work.
I can now say from experience that hiring a wedding planner ensures your day goes off seamlessly. A wedding is a significant investment—and a day you will remember forever—so you want it to be as perfect as it can possibly be. I highly recommend budgeting for a planner. Honestly, it wasn’t something I initially considered, but I’m so glad my husband encouraged us to go for it. It was, without question, one of the best decisions we made.
Ally and Rachael didn’t just plan a wedding—they created a beautiful, stress-free, joy-filled experience for our entire family. We are beyond grateful and enthusiastically recommend Dream Day Events to anyone looking to make their dream day a reality.
Forever thankful!
Louise and Steve

Andrew Sent on 01/08/2026A Groom's Honest Take: Hire Them
I'll be honest: I was cocky going into wedding planning. Our venue offered some complementary planning services, and I figured we had it covered. I couldn't have been more wrong.
What I didn't realize is just how many decisions go into a wedding that you'd never think to consider. Rachael and Ally knew all the ins and outs, and more importantly, they knew what questions to ask us. They helped us focus on what would actually matter to us, like putting real thought into our signage, while steering us away from unnecessary add-ons (no, we did not need a dance floor oyster shucker).
Their vendor knowledge alone was worth it. There's so much noise online that it's nearly impossible to know who's actually good versus who just has great marketing. They cut through all of that and connected us with vendors they trusted, and they were right every time.
Case in point: a few weeks before the wedding, our DJ had to cancel. Before we even knew there was a problem, Rachael and Ally had already talked to the management company, lined up a replacement, and scheduled a meeting so we could give our approval. The new DJ ended up being phenomenal. That's who they are: solving problems before you even know they exist.
My wife is Type A and naturally took the reins on a lot of the planning, but Rachael and Ally gave us both the space to actually enjoy the process. They kept us focused on the decisions that mattered right now instead of drowning us in everything at once.
On the wedding day, the moment they arrived, I felt a wave of stress just lift. I was still nervous (it's my wedding), but knowing they were in control made all the difference. They were such a calming presence throughout the entire day.
If you're a groom reading this thinking you don't need a planner, I was you. Trust me, hire Dream Day Events. -

Sara Sent on 11/16/2025These ladies know how to make the whole place shimmer!!
If I could give our wedding planners 15 stars I would—because they truly turned our big day into a real-life Love Story.
From the very beginning, they understood the vision before I could even put it into words. I came in feeling a little Delicate, a little Out of the Woods, and very much hoping everything wouldn’t fall apart “like a house of cards,” but they showed up with the confidence and care of people who have clearly know this industry All Too Well.
They handled every detail with Style. They protected my peace like a personal Peace brigade, solved problems before I knew they existed, and made the entire planning process feel Fearless.
On the wedding day, they operated with the calm of someone who's seen This Love story a thousand times, and the joy of those who genuinely love making magic for other people. From timeline to décor to last-minute chaos, they turned what could have been a Mad Woman moment into a total Enchanted experience.
My guests couldn’t stop raving; everything was seamless, thoughtful, and sooo “meet me at midnight” dreamy. I walked away from the night thinking one thing: This Is Why We CAN Have Nice Things.
Hiring them was the best decision we made—no Question…? We’d do it again in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for planners who will treat your wedding like their own era-defining masterpiece, these are your people. Because when it comes to pulling off a once-in-a-lifetime day, they’re the real Masterminds.Dream Day Events's reply:
Sara!!! Oh my goodness!!!! For anyone reading this and also a swiftie, I know how much they will appreciate this and this "secret language I can't speak with anyone else" We can keep our forever conversations Taylor coded forever. We love you so much and had the BEST DAY with you....XOXO -

70th Birthday Jersey Shore
Rachael and Ally were amazing right from the get go. We contracted them for a virtual planning package and their efforts were worth every dime. The price paid was very reasonable. From their brainstorming, coordinating with vendors, and the creative signage they provided for my husband's party I was given the peace of mind to sit back and truly enjoy the event.
Rachael and Ally really leaned in to the Jersey Shore theme with food ideas, flowers, and favors. They also came up with a fun signature drink. The vendors they suggested (and coordinated with) were amazing and really delivered.
The true test of a great party are comments from the guests. Everyone loved the themed touches like the signature drink, flowers, salt water taffy at the bar and their own small buckets of Johnson's popcorn to take him with them at the end of the evening.
Almost as important to me was the amazing communication from Rachael and Ally. They were both right on top of everything and I never worried that anything would slip through the cracks. I can't wait to use their services again for my next event!

Rachel and Allison were amazing throughout the entire process. Getting back to all my emails and questions right away. Staying in contact with all my vendors. Reminding me of things I would have otherwise forgot. The day of the wedding they did so much from last minute decorations, to fixing my bustle that kept breaking, they were all around amazing. I highly recommend! -

Ben Sent on 10/21/2025Absolutely Incredible – Rachael and Ally Made Our Wedding Perfect
Our wedding day wouldn’t have been the same without Rachael and her amazing assistant, Ally. They were truly instrumental in making sure everything ran seamlessly from start to finish. Rachael is incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure — exactly what you need on your wedding day. She anticipated needs we didn’t even know we had, handled all the moving parts behind the scenes, and made sure we could actually relax and enjoy the day.
Ally was equally wonderful — supportive, attentive, and on top of every little detail. Together, they made sure everything went off without a hitch. From managing vendors to keeping us on schedule to solving small issues before we even noticed them, they were absolute pros.
We couldn’t have asked for a better team to help us bring our vision to life. If you want your wedding day to run smoothly and stress-free, Rachael and her team are the ones to trust. -

THE BEST, couldn't have done it without them
Rachael and Ally were the BESTTTTT . We couldn't have done our wedding without them. From small details to sharing recommended vendors, managing the hotel to locking down the rundown and purchases, she was able to bring comfort, confidence, and enthusiasm to the entire process & day!! We are tech people and she had an entire shared Google spreadsheet with everything we needed , making planning & communication so easy! Whenever people had questions we were able to have rachael cover it day-of, even all the thank you notes for vendors, food and coffee day of, and all the pictures she was with us. They even ordered the right tea for my Hong Kong tea ceremony, brought all the cookies and dresses up to the suite and in the greenroom, organized bathrobes, champagne and strawberry dipped chocolates the night of. Really appreciate them making our day so easy!! We had an absolute blast -

Debbie Sent on 10/21/2025Bes-T Day Ever!
We hired Rachel and Ally of Dream Day Events to help us plan and execute on a wedding. They were fabulous. They worked in advance with us and every vendor joining in on calls- from the hotel, caterer, band, florist, photographer and even to our special guests. They made recommendations for the party, helping us develop and stick to a timeline. They suggested certain entrees and then recommended glow batons for the dancing. As the date got closer and the weather looked to be cooler for the outdoor ceremony, they suggested we get warm blankets for our guests. They were with us the entire day. Their help allowed me, the mom who planned the wedding, to relax and enjoy this very special day. I would highly recommend Dream Day Events! -

Rae Sent on 08/13/2025Hire these incredible professionals!!
I loved not having to worry about anything during my big day. I’m type A and could have spent the day planning, organizing, and taking care of my family. Instead, I got to focus on spending time with friends/family and marrying the love of my life, they took care of everything!
Rachael and Ally did so much to help our wedding day be the most magical and smooth day possible. I am so incredibly glad that we hired them. They supported us with things big and small, expected and totally unexpected, staying so kind, calm, helpful, and professional the entire time.
Dream Day Events were amazing. Some examples , the groom’s suspenders broke and they went back to the Airbnb to get his second pair, a bridesmaid spilled and stained her dress, they fixed it and pined it to look beautiful (I didn’t even know except that someone snapped a picture- love that amazing!) My parents were unsure if we needed Dream Day Events, after the wedding they were thrilled, wrote a positive review and have been telling all of their friends how wonderful Dream Day Events was! Agreed! I will use them for many events in the future too! -

Elizabeth Sent on 12/19/2024Dream Day events is the best!
I worked with Rachael for almost a year planning my October 2024 wedding and could go on and on about how helpful she was. My mom and I met with a few wedding planners and felt like they all would have done a great job, but we just instantly clicked with Rachael. She’s high energy, personable, professional has amazing connections and just GETS IT. I knew I’d be working with someone who felt more like my friend who also happened to be a wedding planner rather than just working with another vendor, and that was so important over 11 months of working together.
My mom and I had monthly calls with her to make sure we were on track with everything wedding planning, but she was just a text message or email away whenever we had a question. She answered our questions quickly and thoughtfully, and was full of tips and good advice along the way.
My one concern when we decided to work with her was she told us she was not going to be able to be there on our actual wedding day, so she contracted with another wedding coordinator she works with to be our day of coordinator. I was worried about this, so if you’re in that situation I’m here to tell you NOT TO WORRY at all, and that’s not a reason to not move forward. The transition was seamless and Rachael was still there for us for anything we needed that week and the team she brought in for the day of was as detail oriented and amazing as she was. Now we feel like we’ve gained a friend and an event planner, we love Rachael! -

Rachael was the savior of my wedding. From the moment we met I knew this was the best wedding decision I could have made. She came highly recommended and exceeded all expectations. She was on the ball for every detail of every event. She also played part therapist when the planning got extremely stressful. She was always available and had amazing ideas. If you’re on the fence about getting a planner- this is your sign to work with Rachael. You will be grateful you did! -

Happiest bride ever!
Rachael and Sophia were basically our heroes throughout our entire planning process. From day one, we were given invaluable guidance and a concrete plan to get us from the beginning planning stages through the big day. Needless to say, our wedding was perfect. With 260 guests and a budget to maintain, Rachael and Sophia executed perfectly. They recommended the most wonderful vendors and were a true support system. I could not be more grateful for Dream Day Events! -

Jackie Sent on 07/24/2023A Dream Experience- Rachael is One of a Kind
Words cannot accurately capture and express the amount of gratitude we have for Rachael and Dream Day Events! I honestly do not know what we would have done without Rachael. Simply put, she is the best at what she does! She exceeded every single expectation we could have possibly imagined with hiring a wedding planner. The level of attentiveness, organization and professionalism that Rachael embodies is truly remarkable. Rachael was there for us EVERY step of the way throughout our planning process. Rachael is not only an expert at what she does, but on top of that, she is one of the kindest, caring, and compassionate people I have ever met. She truly cares about making your dream wedding day become a reality and guides you through it all. On the day of our wedding, we did not have to worry about one single thing. Rachael and her team were there working their magic and taking care of it all behind the scenes. I know that our wedding ran as smoothly and perfectly as it did because of Rachael and her teams hard work and dedication. My friends and family members all shared the same sentiments. So many people came up to us individually throughout our wedding day and after the wedding stating, "Everyone needs to have a Rachael for their wedding." I have friends that have been through the wedding planning experience and they expressed to me that they wish they could have found someone like Rachael, because she was so extraordinary. Rachael not only was our wedding planner, but she became a dear friend. I could go on and write pages of glowing highlights from our experience working with Rachael, but I will end with this; If you are considering hiring a wedding planner, all I can say is do not walk, but RUN to hire Rachael and Dream Day Events for your special day. I promise you that is the best decision you could ever make for making your dream day become a reality! -

I worked with Racheal as a bridesmaid and was absolutely impressed with her kind heart, helpfulness, attention to detail, and just overall awesome attitude! Rachael made us feel at ease, never once instilled stress on the bride or bridal party, was extremely organized and was overall a pure joy to work with! My only complaint is I wish I could have hired her to plan my wedding! She is that great!!! -

Rachael & the Dream Day Events team went above and beyond every step of the way and executed our beautiful wedding weekend that can only be described as beyond our wildest dreams. Rachael’s warmth, kindness, professionalism, efficiency, time, effort, organization, honesty and love made this process and weekend so incredibly easy, fun and special for Corey and I. It’s simply impossible to fully put into words how amazing her and her team are. They are now family. The Morganstein’s & Vann’s will forever be indebted to them. 11/10 would recommend!!! -

Planner turned bestie!
Rachael and her team were the absolute missing puzzle piece to our whole wedding planning process.
We hired Rachael just after we had picked out venue and a few vendors, and she was with us the entire way through. She made suggestions of viewpoints I had not considered, gave us a wonderful spreadsheet to keep us organized, and did any and all communication with other vendors that we asked her to. She ran rehearsal the day before and helped with everything the day of from hair and makeup, to making sure the guys got to the venue on time, and making sure each vendor was there on time setting up decor exactly where I wanted it. Rachael truly is the most positive, bubbly, and organized person you could possibly want in your corner on your big day. By the time the wedding rolled around, she felt more like a best friend then my planner and I was so happy to have her with me through the entire process. She is the EASIEST decision of the vendor hiring process and I would recommend her 10/10 times! (All of my bridesmaids want to hire her for their future weddings!)Dream Day Events's reply:
JULIEEEEEE OMG.........This is the nicest ever. Besties forever...and we cant forget our AVALON DIVA aka MOM!!!! You guys will forever be in my life!!! Love you all so so much!!!! -

Rachael Lassoff /Dream Day Events was an absolute God-send throughout our entire experience. I simply cannot imagine my wedding without her. Imagine a wedding planner that feels like your best friend, thinks of every detail, and leaves nothing to chance, and you have an idea of what it's like to work with her. Her skills are unmatched. We simply adore Rachael and will never forget all of the heart, energy, time, and thoughtfulness she put into our special day. -

Hiring Rachael was, without a doubt, the best decision I could possibly have made for my daughters wedding. She had been the wedding planner for my son and daughter-in-law‘s wedding three years ago. From that day on, no matter who, what, or where my daughter married- I was certain Rachael would be an essential part of the process. For those of you who believe you are extremely organized, decisive, and great with time management, and don’t think you need Rachael‘s help, trust me- you’re wrong! Planning a wedding, no matter how excited you are, it’s a stressful time. Rachael has been my sounding board, my voice, my negotiator, and a wonderful friend to me every step of the way. I attribute the huge success of every aspect of my daughter’s wedding in part to Rachael‘s role in it! -

The best wedding planner ever!!!
One month ago, we had the best wedding ever and it was all thanks to Rachael and her team! There is nothing more stressful than trying to plan a wedding and Rachael helped take all that stress away! She provided us with the best vendor recommendations, helped us keep on track with booking everyone and provided great advice along the way all with a positive, infectious attitude. She was ALWAYS available for questions and provided super quick responses. Day of her and her team were there bright and early and took care of EVERYTHING. We didn't have to worry about one detail on our wedding day. We just got to enjoy ourselves and the day. All in all, hiring Rachael was the best decision we made and we can't thank her enough for helping us to have the most fun, memorable day of our lives. -

Rachael and Ally were a dream come true! I am a professional event planner so when I got engaged I knew it was well worth it to hire a wedding planner. I asked lots of my friends in the industry for suggestions and Rachael came highly recommended. The entire Dream Day Events team was friendly, helpful, quick on their feet, creative, organized and detailed. Ally worked with me for months prior, kept me calm, organized and communicated with my vendors. We booked a venue where we had to hire outside catering and vendors so having a wedding planner was vital. They gave me great recommendations for other vendors as well like transportation, photo booth and hair & make up. Some vendors even gave us a discount because I was working with Dream Day Events. They helped me make decisions when I was feeling so overwhelmed and wanted to give up. The ladies coordinated all the logistics for the pictures and bridal party as well as vendors. I gave them boxes of décor that they beautifully set up with very little direction. They troubleshooted any minor snafus without me even knowing anything went wrong. They talked to my mom when she was getting on my nerves. They helped my Grandma get into the venue. They coordinated with our dog walker to get my dog there. Ally was right there next to me with hand sanitizer in her fanny pack when I needed it. Most importantly, they kept us on time. As an event planner myself, I've almost never been able to start a wedding ceremony on time, but Ally and Rachael did it! And all throughout the months of planning, I felt like I was just chatting with friends. I'm going to miss them. I cannot thank them enough. I cannot recommend and sing their praises enough. Everyone planning a wedding can use the help of a wedding planner! Put it in your budget. In the end, having a professional by your side will save you money! It will make the day go so much smoother. You will actually be able to just enjoy the day as a guest instead of thinking of logistics and dealing with questions and issues. Do yourself a favor and hire Dream Day Events. At the end of the day, compared to how much we spent on everything overall, the wedding planner was a tiny piece of the budget. They were totally affordable and completely worth it!!! I would hire them again and again (but hopefully I won't need to). :) -

We met w/Rachael approx. 18 months prior to our daughters wedding. With her infectious enthusiasm, warm demeanor and straight forward attitude we knew we wanted her to help us plan a large wedding with a lot of moving parts in Center City Phila. Rachael from the start was thorough, sensitive to our budget, attentive to details, and as she got to know us a family took our lead with some gentle persuasion on her part if she felt we needed to go in a different direction. Her vendors are incredible, she has clearly carved out an excellent reputation with them which in turn helped us. She got to know our daughter (bride) and her husband and paid close attention to their needs, the aesthetic they wanted and never missed a beat in addressing their important wedding weekend. If I had to do it all over again Rachael would be "IT" for us!!! -

I cannot say enough how awesome Rachael and her team were!! I could never imagine planning my wedding without them! Rachael is so responsive, organized, and supportive during the whole process! She helped us with booking vendors, responding to emails, and having monthly timelines which were so helpful!! We saved so much money from Rachael’s close relationships with vendors and her exactly knowing what we did/ didn’t need. She even helped my florist navigate a place card table which turned out better then I could have imaged- she totally understood my vision and what I wanted! We were able to enjoy our wedding day knowing Rachael and her team were behind everything making sure it all ran smoothly. And the best part was after the reception, she and her team were able to clean everything up and transport flowers, candles, cylinders, etc all to my parents house so that we could enjoy our night at the after party. Everything was so seamless and even during the planning process, Rachael makes sure you are having fun too! Also, can i just say she is the most caring, kindest human on the planet! As a bride you tend to have a few (maybe more) freak out moments and Rachael was there every step of the way to calm your nerves and just be a friend! The Dream Day team were all so amazing! Best decision we ever made was using Rachael and worth every penny!!!Dream Day Events's reply:
Awww Alyssa!!! I love you!!!! It was so amazing seeing you get married and seeing all your dreams come true!! Your whole event was stunning start to finish. You are the prettiest bride Lyssieeeee!!!

Ashley Sent on 10/07/2021The best... Just book her now!
If you weren't sure about hiring a wedding planner, I'm here to tell you to just do it. More specifically, hire Rachael! I had a lot of big vendors already booked by the time my now husband and I hired Rachael, but she was there to show us all the little things that still needed to be completed. She was a liaison between vendors, solving problems before we were even aware there was a problem - but never making decisions for us - always consulting to make sure things were what we wanted for our day. Her organization knows no limits. Forget buying a planner. All you need is Rachael. She'll give you the tools necessary to keep on track for all the tasks that need completing leading up to the wedding, and send you reminders if you are a little behind (...guilty). And on the day of the wedding, she and her team were everywhere, from the hotel getting ready in the morning to the venue, prepping the decor and coordinating with the catering liaison, DJ, and photographer. Whenever we needed something, or our parents needed something, she was right there making it happen. If there needed to be a change to the schedule, she would come up with different scenarios, then ask me, and then disseminate my decision to the appropriate vendors to make sure everything I wanted to happen happened and happened when I wanted it to. I was able to actually enjoy that much more of my wedding day because of the behind-the-scenes work of Rachael and her team. Her advice throughout the whole process was INVALUABLE! She's done this many times over and knows the little details that someone who is planning their once in a lifetime wedding would miss. But more than just her expertise in the field of wedding planning, she is an overall wonderful human being. She is so sweet and so easy to work with - never pushy and never has a know-it-all attitude. I could go on and on (honestly can't believe I haven't run out of space yet!), but seriously, if you are looking for a wedding planner, look no further than Rachael and her team. They will make your special day (and all the planning leading up to it) every bit as magical as you could ever dream! -

Connie Sent on 09/15/2021They were everywhere doing everything for us!
My daughter just got married on Sept. 10, 2021. This was the third date, thanks to COVID. I will confess that I had been skeptical about the need for wedding planners but no longer - now I tell everyone GET A WEDDING PLANNER! When my daughter started planning her Philly wedding, she and her fiance were living in San Francisco, so they did need help coordinating local vendors. After the pandemic forced several date changes. Rachael was instrumental in working with vendors and securing new vendors if needed for the new dates. Her advice along the way was always the best. And the day of the wedding - she was literally EVERYWHERE from 8AM in the bridal suite until the very end of the evening, making sure everything was good. Getting the key people drinks, gathering up the everything for us and getting it to us at the end, and just being there making sure everything was going well! -

Joe M. Sent on 07/18/2021A father if the bride says "Do yourself a favor and hire Rachael"
I don’t know how many reviews you get from Fathers of the Bride, since traditionally (at least in this family), the Dads aren’t very active participants in the wedding planning. But as a very satisfied Father of the Bride I must tell you, Rachael Lassoff was worth every penny, if for nothing else than keeping my wife (a stickler for detail) calm, sane and focused on the things she should be focusing on – celebrating the lives of our daughter and soon-to-be son-in-law. Rachael was extraordinary in that our daughter’s wedding was originally scheduled for July 2020 but moved back one year due to Covid. She took care of moving the date with all of our venues and vendors and took that responsibility off of our shoulders. She constantly reminded my wife and daughter of things they needed to be doing two months out, one month out, one week out, etc. But the real value came on the big day itself. She was there from early morning until late at night with a small army of assistants to ensure things went off without a hitch and to take care of all of the little things you don’t realize you needed to do. Little things like...the strap on a bridesmaid’s shoe broke after the Mass. Rachael came out of nowhere to repair it. Big things like… standing behind my daughter and me at the back of church just prior to taking the ‘Big Walk’ and reminding us of how and when to walk (and to breathe) ... at that moment, I think the only thing I heard besides my beating heart was Rachael’s calm voice. She did all of this and so much more. Rachael handled all of the planning-like tasks exceptionally well; she has excellent relationships with many of the photographers, videographers, florists, venues, etc. in this area. But it was the mental state she created that was of tremendous value. Occasionally my wife had to be talked ‘off the ledge’ over some planning issue. Rachael was always there to pick up the phone and reassure her that all was well. She is the consummate professional who really knows her way around weddings. Do yourself a favor and hire her. You will not be disappointed.

Kieran Sent on 07/17/2021A groom’s perspective: wow
My wife wanted to take on a lot of the planning herself, so we hired Rachael as a day-of coordinator. What a joke of a title! Even if all we got were the 16+ hour day Rachael and her DDE assistants pulled on our wedding day, “day-of coordinator” would hugely undersell how much work they did to make the day run as smooth as butter. The entire year prior, Rachael fluidly and expertly filled in every little gap of our planning, helped us map out the entire year and kept us on track with regular check-in calls, coordinated with all the other vendors and advocated on our behalf where needed, and checked and double-checked every last detail of what we were doing.
With Rachael, I could rest much more easily knowing that a detail-oriented pair of eyes, with the time and energy as if our wedding were her one and only full time job, was checking over everything. It was a cherry on top that she was very pleasant to work with (we might be friends now, time will tell?) and seemed to immediately have a great rapport with every other vendor. Cannot recommend more highly. -

Pearl Sent on 07/17/2021The absolute best wedding planner you could ask for!
Rachael as our Wedding Day of Coordinator was the best decision ever!! She stood by us every step of the process and her insights/suggestions were invaluable. She and her team was such a dream to have at our wedding day! They were so professional and made our entire wedding party feel welcomed. In addition, her team went above and beyond to make sure our ceremony arch did not fall from the wind by secretly holding them up during the entire ceremony (AMAZING, right?!) With Rachael and her epic timeline in hand the entire day flowed perfectly. To any future bride, please do yourself a huge favor and have Rachael do what she does best! -

I hired Rachael Lassoff's Dream Day Events to help with wedding decor. Many of our centerpieces were damaged in transit, and the awesome team stepped up and put everything back together again like nothing even happened! My wedding was PERFECT and in no small part due to the incredible, talented, and competent Dream Day team. Thank you so much, ladies! -

Rachael was easily the most responsive, organized person and vendor we encountered during our wedding planning process. Even though our original plans fell through during the pandemic, Rachael continued to make sure that she checked in and move along with all aspects of planning, even in the most impossible situation! Thanks for being positive, proactive, and so organized and responsive at any time, day or night!! -

Rachael is so easy to work with, super sweet, responds quickly, and makes the impossible work! I only needed help setting up the day of the wedding but nonetheless, she picked up my items, took care of the set-up, and made the place look even better than I had expected. It is like having your grandmother, mother, and best friend wrapped into one person helping you plan and giving advice. I would definitely use her again! -

Karen Sent on 06/25/2020The Best Part Planner
Mikayla and I have been planning her bat mitzvah with Rachael over the last year. Due to Covid we had to reschedule twice. I have to tell you Rachael is amazing under pressure. She has walked me off the ledge and gained our trust day one. She gets to know her clients to better understand their needs and helps implement the vision they have in mind. She has amazing contacts with some of the best in the event planning business. She constantly follows up and checks on her clients .
One thing you need to know is even in the toughest of times Rachael is always smiling. Her positive attitude helped this momma feel good about continuing to plan our mitzvah during these very trying times.
If you don’t consider Rachael as your party planner you are missing out. She truly is the best.
Dream Day Events's reply:
Karen.....there is so much I want to say. Thank you for your kind words. AND yes for those reading this, I do other events because everyone deserves good help in their lives!! Thank you for your time and your trust in me. You and our horseback riding genius Mikayla have a special place in my heart -

Marissa Sent on 11/14/2019Best decision of my life
When I told my friends and family I wanted a wedding planner, they thought I was crazy and tried to talk me out of it. I hired Rachael and Dream Day Events because I wanted to enjoy my day and not be as stressed in the planning. Rachael is truly the most helpful person I’ve ever met. No matter what question I had, she picked up the phone for me and walked me through whatever issue I had. My mother even called her several times in the planning and she helped her every time as well. Rachael is very organized and makes sure that you get done what you need in a timely manner without stressing you out. Leading up to the wedding, I knew everything would be perfect because I had Dream Day Events on my side. She made sure everything went perfect. Her team on the day of did so much extra work for us it was unbelievable. Everyone in my family and all of my friends who doubted getting a wedding planner wanted to help contribute to giving a larger tip because they were so wrong and were blown away by how much of a necessity it is to have a planner on your day. Rachael also gets along with everyone and did well with all my crazy family and their personalities. Dream Day Events is truly a must for your day. Please do yourself the biggest favor of your life and hire her !! -

My parents and I were referred to Rachael of Dream Day Events by friends of ours shortly after I was engaged in 2018. When I met Rachael in person, I expected her to be knowledgable and professional, but I had no idea that she would be so incredibly nice and positive.
Over the course of the year that we worked together, Rachael was never negative, critical, or rude -- something that is surprisingly unique in the wedding industry! She pointed me in the direction of some amazing vendors, like my florist, the amazing Longstems!!, and she tackled the more prickly ones in a way that any issues that arose (an inevitable part of wedding planning!) were resolved without tension or stress on my part.
Beyond her negotiation skills, Rachael makes herself so available to her clients that you would think you were the only wedding she was currently planning! She understands how important the day is to the couple, and their families. She makes everyone feel important, special, and heard. We can't thank her enough, and we are looking forward to working with her again in the future!Dream Day Events's reply:
STEPH!!!! I miss you!!!! Thank you for the nicest review!!! The glass is always half full in my world! Can't wait to see you and Monty take over the world!!!! Thank gosh for social media! We can equally catch up with each other! I can see all the fun things you will do as a married couple and you will see more wedding and more flowers by long stems haha. XOXO -

Rachel Sent on 06/11/2019absolutely incredible, couldn't ask for more!!
I cannot stress enough how essential Rachael was to our wedding planning and wedding day - I truly do NOT know what we would have done without her. Going into wedding planning, being an organized person, I did not think we would need to hire a planner, but i was WRONG. Rachael brings so much more than just organization (which she is exceptional with), she thinks of everything that you may not consider, she corresponds with all vendors, she helps in ANY way that she can, and she is so much fun to work with. Our wedding day went off without one hiccup and I know that was 100% because of Rachael and her team. She truly thinks of everything and won't stop until you are happy and stress free. It is obvious that Rachael loves what she does, even at 6 AM she brings that passion and joy with a smile! I absolutely loved working with Rachael, and promise that you will be just as happy as I was to have her by your side on your special day.Dream Day Events's reply:
RACHHH!! Thank you -

Wedding Day Coordinator
Rachael was AMAZING!! We are so happy we hired her for our wedding. She helped our wedding day go smoothly and without any issues. She kept the flow of the day going, kept us on time and in turn the day was completely stress free! Rachael worked with us for months leading up to the event, making sure we were in a good spot and that things were done when they needed to be. She is very easy to contact, organized, positive, and always supportive and willing to do whatever we needed! Having Rachael helped not only us, but my parents feel totally relaxed the day of the wedding. While we were finishing up our pictures, Rachael went to the venue to confirm all decor and details were in place and ready to go! Rachael made sure to pack up items at the end of the night and make sure they went to where they were supposed to. Rachael helped us in so many ways and made us remember things we would never have thought of. Do NOT think twice about hiring Rachael and Dream Day Events, it will be absolutely worth it! This will ensure a stress free wedding day, which every bride and groom want!Dream Day Events's reply:
Kait!! Thank you!!! I hope you had the best honeymoon!! Miss working with you already! Love this picture of us! It was THE most perfect day!! Can’t wait to see the video and rest of the pics!!!! Xoxo -

Megan Sent on 09/26/2018So I have to say that other than choosing to marry my now-husband, hiring Rachael to be our wedding coordinator was the best thing I did for our wedding. She did LITERALLY everything, from keeping the flow going during hair and makeup in the morning, to making sure everyone in the wedding party was where they needed to be at the right time (we never were behind schedule thanks to her). Just a few more of the ways Rachael made our day perfect:
1. She made sure to ask all the right questions of our vendors (ie - we ended up being able to bring all of our decor and alcohol to the venue days before the wedding because she pressed for it, which was a true timesaver on the day of. She also helped bring all of it over and trust me, there was a lot of stuff).
2. She decorated our venue while we took pictures.
3. She put in my veil before the ceremony and did my bustle afterwards.
4. She was the liaison for all of our vendors and the wedding party so my husband and I didn't get bothered with tons of questions and could just enjoy our day.
5. She gave us an amazing spreadsheet that took all the stress out of planning.
6. She was at the ready anytime anyone needed deodorant, a bandaid, pins, whatever. She had it all in her go bag!
7. Despite me telling my brother not to wash his super long hair that day so our hairdresser could put it up in a bun, he did and it was soaked just 40 minutes before our photographer arrived to take photos of the guys. So what does Rachael do? She pulls out a hairdryer and dries his hair for him, no questions asked (I will never get over this lol)!!
Rachael did all this and so much more. She is amazing and I can say with 100% confidence that you are doing yourself a disservice if you don't hire her as your wedding planner or DoC! -

Erica Sent on 06/07/2018Where to begin......as two busy professionals we were looking for someone to help us with our wedding plans - we were so very fortunate to be referred by people in the mainkine community to Rachael. Rachael not only helped us find the perfect venue but has kept us organized and on track....she has allowed the process of planning for a wedding to be a relaxed experience! We are so grateful for her professionalism and organizational skills. I wish we could choose more stars because she is truly the best!!
Dream Day Events's reply:
AWW!! Love you both! And love that picture of us from the photoshoot. Can't wait to see you two live out your dreams as a married couple. More good things coming your way!! Thank you for such kind words. So much more I want to say...I could write a novel about how awesome you both are!! xox -
