Brenda was an incredible month-of wedding coordinator and so easy to work with. She was well-organized, thoughtful, and brought a positive, relaxed energy to the last-minute planning process. Her communication was clear and transparent. She always kept us in the loop without overburdening us with tiny details, which must be a hard balance for any coordinator to strike. We felt like the day of the wedding, we had nothing to worry about because she would navigate every issue with expertise and ease.

We couldn't be happier with Brenda as our month-of wedding coordinator! She was extremely detailed, super easy and friendly to work with, and truly made our wedding day come to life, and most importantly, stress free! Many of our guests and even some of our vendors paid compliments to her, which just speaks to her professionalism and capability.
Leading up to the wedding, Brenda consistently reminded us what still needed to be done, what potential changes are happening with our vendors, and gave great, practical advice on how to manage each detail. She went above & beyond in the

We were never sure we needed a month-of wedding coordinator, but wow - Brenda made it so obvious how much we needed her there on our wedding day and during the final weeks leading up to the big day.
Weeks leading up to the wedding:
Brenda took nearly all the stress away during these last few weeks, coordinating among our vendors, getting detailed questions answered by the venue (Landmarks Art & Garden Center in Tiburon), making sure we were thinking about things we surely would have forgotten about, and refining our day-of timeline. We had a few calls with Brenda early on the planning process

Jessica was our wedding planner, and she was fantastic. We delayed our wedding for a year because of Covid, and jessica stuck with us the whole time. We are so thankful -- we had no idea we would be able to pull off a backyard wedding that was so nice and yet so laid-back. We had a few simple asks: yummy food from our culture, no unnecessary spending, and minimize the amount of paperwork/decisions for us. She delivered exactly that AND delivered on one more thing we totally forgot but was incredibly important: keep my parents happy and dissuade them from any crazy ideas. And indeed, my parents

We used Dreams on a Dime and worked with Cierra for our wedding. The wedding was beautiful and wonderful. It was unnecessarily stressful at times because Cierra forgot to do more than one of the things that she had taken on. Two of our appetizers weren't ever put out, the popcorn machine wasn't returned (which proved to be a huge debacle for us), and she was slightly combative with my family when they asked about things like the lighting and music. It was also a Jewish wedding and she was supposed to start the Hora (chair dance) and she just forgot. I remembered late into the night and

Jessica was very friendly, helpful, and flexible when we were planning our wedding. We had limited time and a strong tendency to procrastinate, so Jessica was a great help in that regard, contacting vendors and venues during hours inconvenient for us and providing suggestions, while also balancing between being patient when we were slow to get back to her, while also sending reminders when time was urgent.
Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 we made the choice to cancel. Jessica was very respectful and flexible. Despite us technically cancelling too late for the second payment, she waived our second

We cannot say enough about how great and amazing it was to work with Cierra as our month-of-coordinator for our September 2019 wedding at Stern Grove. If you are getting married at SG, stop whatever you're doing now and book Cierra. My husband and I can't even imagine what our wedding would have been like without her!
Key takeaway points:
- Cierra is super organized and johnny-on-the-spot! She promptly responded to our emails and our many, many questions with patience and reassurance. :)
- Her depth of knowledge about our venue was uncontested. Every time we did a walkthrough of Stern

We were so lucky to have chosen Cierra for our wedding! She guided me through the process, answered questions she obviously knew what she was doing from beginning to finish! For our wedding day she handled a couple bridezilla moments I had with Grace! After the wedding my husband said if we hadn't had Cierra our wedding would have been a disaster. When the venue got too hot she was crawling the walls to open the windows, when I ate too much at dinner and buttons were coming undone on my dress she was behind me buttoning them, when my dress was dragging in the dirt as I walked down the aisle

This review is for Cierra Wilkins.
Cierra came recommended to us by our caterer who mentioned she was one of the best coordinators they've worked with and once we found out she had gotten married at our same venue and was extremely familiar with it, we were sold! It was the Outdoor Art Club in Mill Valley which had a fair amount of rules to follow so we were confident we were in good hands.
Because we were fairly far out from our date once we locked Cierra in and were able to do a lot of vendor selection and additional planning on our own we went with the "Month Of" option. That

We got married at Outdoor Art Club in Mill Valley in October. For our wedding coordinator, we decided to work with Cierra from Dreams on a Dime based on a recommendation from the OAC. Cierra had previously gotten married at the same venue, and also did other weddings there so it seemed like a perfect fit.
When we told other vendors that Cierra was our wedding coordinator, most of them knew her and many of them said that she is the best wedding coordinator in the Bay Area! I wasn't sure if they were exaggerating, but after getting married, I absolutely agree!
Not only is Cierra very organized

Jessica helped make our dream wedding come true! We live in Austin and married in SF. Jessica was easy to connect with and provided great insight to the Bay Area,
this was essential since we were planning a destination wedding. She referred us to the perfect florist and photographer based upon our vision and budget. We also appreciated Jessica's direct approach and expertise in navigating the numerous decisions that come with planning a wedding. We highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for someone who will provide a professional service with kindness and heart.

Cierra was the month-of coordinator for my wedding on April 8th at Observation Point in the Presidio. She is a superstar, a kind confidante, a consummate professional and a wedding day lieutenant general who will keep you and your vendors on track! After months upon months of thinking through every little detail, it was wonderful to let someone else be the Responsible Adult on my wedding day while my husband and I boogied the night away. Thank you Cierra!
To be honest, I didn't understand what coordination entailed when I booked her services at the urging of my parents and fiance. I&apos

Jessica was amazing. We had our wedding on 3/31 at SF City Hall, and everything was perfect. Jessica made sure our rehearsal and ceremony ran smoothly, and made sure guests were aware of any necessary details. Jessica and her assistant (didn't catch her name) were extremely professional, friendly, etc. Everything you need a planner to be. They also accommodated last-minute setup requests and didn't make us feel guilty for adding more to their plate.

DOAD was recommended to us from a friend who was a event planner herself. We hired Jessica Goldblatt to provide full services for our wedding. Jessica was amazingly organized and paid great attention to detail. My now husband and I are both in medicine and had limited time on the weekdays and weekends to plan what we wanted to be a meaningful ceremony and reception with our family and friends in SF. She has great rapport with all the SF vendors, had excellent communication skills, and was extremely reliable. I naturally am super Type A about everything, but had tremendous confidence in Jessica

I did my research over a year ahead to find a day of coordinator since I was planning a wedding in SF from out of state. I found Jessica and we had our first chat over the phone 13 months before my wedding.
Jessica was really resourceful since I was basically planning my own wedding. She gave me tips and mentioned things I could consider as I was planning. This was not in our contract and I greatly appreciated her going above and beyond.

We hired Alex as a month-of-coordinator for our September 2017 wedding at Presidio Chapel and Golden Gate Club. Our celebration went off without a hitch and all members of the wedding party were able to enjoy it to the fullest knowing that Alex was managing behind the scenes!
Alex ensured that the wedding day ran like clockwork and that all of our vendors knew when & where to arrive. He coordinated set-up at our venue, checking in via text to confirm last minute details. He also helped me to find a company, Repurposed Rose, that would pick up our flowers after the event and then provide them

We worked with Cierra for our wedding on 7/21/2017 at Stern Grove. Initially, we weren't going to have a wedding coordinator, but it was the BEST decision we ever made, especially for a venue like Stern Grove. We hired her for the month-of and day-of assistance.
What we appreciated most about working with Cierra:
1) Very organized, efficient, professional, and knowledgeable. She knew almost all of the ins-and-outs of Stern Grove. She paid very close attention to details, especially with the timeline, vendors, etc. If you are getting married at Stern Grove, you absolutely need CIERRA :)
