Hiring Echo was the very best investment we made. She made our destination wedding go seamlessly and I don't know what we would've done without her - truly! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. Let me just say that Echo and her team were absolutely amazing! We could not have imagined a more beautiful or more perfect wedding.

Hiring Echo was the best decision we made for our wedding. I definitely had a vision for what I wanted our wedding to be and from our very first call with Echo, we knew that she would do everything humanly possible to ensure that. She not only did that, but she went above and beyond all of our expectations. Our wedding was straight out of a fairytail and every single detail, small and large was thought through. I was simply speechless on the wedding day and that was all thanks to the work Echo and the vendors did leading up to the event. And guests noticed, too, commenting throughout the day how

There are no words to describe how unbelievable Echo is-- you should stop reading right here and just book her before she is unavailable! We didn't even realize how much we needed her until we saw all the details and organization that she brought with her-- intricate details of vetted vendors, first hand knowledge of the venue, and a minute-by-minute timeline of every day. We were also absolutely blown away with her ability to troubleshoot a few disasters. We had to move our entire wedding because of the pandemic and it was so seamless because of Echo that we barely noticed. Then she helped

Words cannot express how much we enjoyed working with Echo! She went above and beyond our expectations. She was an exceptionally wedding planner and we don't know what we would've done without her. We had to postpone our wedding and she made the transition so smoothly. She's extremely honest, trustworthy, and cares deeply for her clients. She has your back if any mishaps/hiccups occur, especially with vendors. She turned our concept into a DREAM! Will definitely be missing our hundreds of emails together.

Echo really did plan our dream wedding. Matt and I are both very busy finance professionals and needed someone to help us comprehensively and keep us on track. She worked with us tirelessly pre-COVID to pick and plan the perfect venue, vendors, decor, logistics etc. Then she worked tirelessly through the Pandemic and after to make sure my day was flawless. And it was!!
I was looking for someone with tons of experience, superior logistics, attention to detail, anticipated all the ways something could go wrong, creative, reasonable on vendor costs, and supportive/flexible. She was all of this and

Echo was everything we hoped for in a wedding planner and so much more. My husband and I live in Ohio, so planning our dream wedding in Napa, CA was overwhelming--to say the least. We had interviewed a few wedding planners prior to speaking with Echo, but within minutes of our first call we knew she was the perfect choice. Echo is warm, caring and has impeccable attention to detail. Throughout the planning process, Echo had great communication with us to ensure our minds were at ease and we stress-free. She kept us on task, and provided great advice to help us create a beautiful wedding within

We cannot recommend Echo highly enough. I'm not even sure if we would have had our wedding if it weren't for Echo. Our wedding in Napa happened to fall on the weekend of the fires in Oct 2019. Despite the hectic situation, our wedding went off without any problems. Echo kept us updated throughout the entire process and we didn't even notice at one point when our venue's electricity was cut due to the fire because Echo and the on site manager had already coordinated a back up plan using a back up generator. Leading up to the wedding, her simple timelines and schedule keeps everything

So, my daughter in law has hired a wedding planner and then I follow suit and hire the same one, Echo, to help me plan and coordinate the wedding rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. I happen to have the world's GREATEST DIL!!! And she found for us the most perfect wedding planner ever! Like have you ever had a meal so good that you want to tell every single person you know that they HAVE to got to that same restaurant and order the exact same meal just so they can experience the same joy you had while enjoying your dinner? Think that times a million!! I have never been so impressed by someone

We hired Echo and A Dream Wedding for our wedding at Calistoga Ranch. Being on the east coast we realized that we would have to do everything from afar. We hired Echo before meeting her in person and we know that we made the best decision for our wedding planning and day of needs. Echo thought of everything - from helping us with the perfect glassware and table setting to managing an incredibly complicated timeline for our wedding day as well as day of logistics for multiple buses, pick up locations for our guests, and more. She did everything with confidence and ease - and made us feel comfortable

I highly recommend A Dream Wedding for wedding planning in Napa or Sonoma Valley. Echo planned my daughter's wedding last summer at Calistoga Ranch, There are so many details to navigate for any wedding, and I learned that in the wine country there are a few more due to zoning restrictions, details in how some venues and businesses operate and limited choices of vendors in some categories. My daughter and now son-in-law were working intensely out-of-state and had limited time. And while I am in the Bay Area, that's still quite different from really knowing the wine country. Echo

Echo planned our June 2019 Carmel Valley Ranch wedding and I could not imagine doing it without her! I'll be the first to admit I was hesitant to hire a wedding planner due to to expense, but Echo more than paid for herself by the savings she got for us through vendor negotiations. She was so organized on every little detail, from itinerary to vendor coordination to decor, that it made our job so much easier. I highly recommend that you use Echo to plan your wedding.

Ok, so I will start out by saying my fiancé, now husband and I both thought a wedding planner was a ridiculous expense to add on top of a wedding. As we started getting into the planning there was just so much we really didn't know. I mean it's not like one gets married often enough to know the ins and outs. Echo was an angel. I highly recommend her. She paid attention to every. Single. Detail. From the little to the big pieces. She heard our vision and made it reality.
Echo also saved us $6,000 on a contract that I'm not quite sure we would have been able to negotiate on our

Echo is the absolute perfect wedding planner! I would hands down recommend her to any bride :)
I started working with Echo shortly after I got engaged and was completely new to wedding planning. Between my fiancé and I, we had a ton of really basic questions and were slightly overwhelmed by all that needed to be done. Throughout the entire planning process, Echo was highly organized, knowledgeable, patient, and professional. She is an absolute veteran in the business and will navigate any situation flawlessly.

First, to say the wedding was a dream merely scratches the surface of the surreal experience Echo was able to procure. Everything from the ease of communication, to the pinpoint organization, reasonable pricing, and overall giddy professional demeanor , this equates to THE PERFECT wedding. At first we were skeptical of hiring a planner (ambitious we know) but with hindsight being the crux of wisdom, take our advice, go with Echo. The thorough thoutfullness she brings is sure to enhance not overshadow your unique tastes as she has proven a powerful resource for expert design. We really appreciate

Echo was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. She made sure our wedding day was perfect. Everything ran so smoothly because of her. Our wedding was a destination wedding in Napa Valley and I was trying to plan it from across the country. Once I started working with Echo, my life was so much easier. She was a great communicator and was available for any questions or concerns I had. The day of the wedding she had everything timed perfectly. Her assistant made sure every detail was exactly how I wanted it. I swear they read my mind and I did not have to worry about a thing. I am forever grateful for Echo's amazing

I'm not even sure where to start on this review. Echo was so incredible over the last year and a half of planning our wedding, I wouldn't have done any of it differently. First off, we were planning our Sonoma wedding from Singapore, which was already a challenge in itself with the time difference and coordination with vendors. Echo narrowed down huge lists of vendors to one or two, so we could easily make our decisions. She was more than happy to take very early phone calls to accommodate our time zone. When we arrived to meet all the vendors, she had thoughtfully planned out a schedule

Echo's business name says it all - she made our dream wedding come true! We hired Echo a year before our June 2018 wedding weekend. My husband and I live in Boston, my mom lives in Kansas City and we planned our wedding in St. Helena, CA. It was no easy feat to coordinate and work with us being cross-country but Echo did it with ease. She has incredible patience and insane attention to detail. My husband, Matt, is in his residency so my mom and I did majority of the planning with Echo. She was so patient and readily available to answer my hundreds of questions. We could only go out to St.

We retained Echo to assist us with finding our venue and for her "full service" package. We were both very busy working and had little help from friends and family.
Venue Services: Echo is familiar with many venues in the Napa/Sonoma location and prepared a full weekend itinerary of appointments for us. She attended each appointment along the way to really understand what we were looking for. Echo had us working for the wedding the entire weekend! After the weekend, we had not only gained clarity on the wedding of our dreams but we had found our dream venue.

Echo was amazing! My daughter had the wedding of her dreams at Chalk Hill Estate Winery thanks to this amazing woman! She is so extremely organized and does not let anything fall through the cracks! We had one major problem 3 days before the wedding, the videographer we had paid for ended up in the hospital and could not video the wedding. Echo spent countless hours, and two days, trying to find a suitable replacement at the last minute. It was a tough task, but somehow she did it. On the day of the wedding Echo, being the extremely organized planner that she is, had a prepared time line and she

There is nobody better in this business than Echo... period. Wow, what an amazing wedding planner she is! My wife and I live in Houston, TX but our dream was to get married in Sonoma. But with both of our crazy work schedules, trying to organize something like this remotely was nearly impossible. We read great reviews about Echo and we initially reached out to her to simply help us find the right venue. Since there are so many places in Napa and Sonoma to choose from, we felt we needed a local to at least direct us in this first step.

Echo was our wedding planner and I can't say enough great things about her! She exceeded my expectations and if I could give her 10 stars, I would. She is experienced, hard working, dedicated, and extremely meticulous! And, she's an absolute sweetheart to work with! We booked her Full-Service package and it was worth every penny.
