Don't trust the 5-star reviews. Dreams in Detail is sloppy and untrustworthy to the point of civil…read moreliability. My lawyer even suggested we sue when I realized a few days before our wedding that Ashley had shared ChatGPT'ed officiant guidance that was AI-hallucinated misinformation and thus meant we couldn't be legally married by our officiant at the ceremony. I had already been dissatisfied, frustrated, and furious from months of Ashley's messy work, but this was a new low. Eventually we did sort out the officiant mess (no thanks to Ashley), and wedding day itself ran relatively smoothly (credit where credit is due, Ashley is a good day-of coordinator). So why not drop it there and go off to enjoy married life? My main motivation in writing this review is that I do not want anyone else to have to endure the same stressful and infuriating experience that we had, planning what is meant to be such a joyful life event. From start to finish, working with Dreams in Detail was a nightmare. The first big problem we ran into was that Dreams in Detail misrepresents their practice as serving Las Vegas. We only realized this belatedly when Ashley knew not a single Las Vegas vendor, insisting on showing us LA-based vendors at 3x the cost even before exorbitant travel fees, like $1000 for a makeup trial. I fought with her for months about getting a local makeup artist who had experience with Asian clients (peak ridiculousness was her offering me the Instagram of a Korean makeup influencer based in Korea who was also not a bridal makeup artist) before I gave up and booked a friend of one of my friends. Ashley also missed our wedding venue walkthrough, which we had flown into town for. She blamed a flight delay, but ultimately the problem was that she was not Vegas-based and not capable of arranging her travel to ensure she was present; then she forced us to leave our tasting dinner mid-way to rush through a quick meeting with her, because she was unwilling to change her return flight to LA. Even though we were paying her handsomely to be our "luxury" event planner, it did not feel at all like we were the client being taken care of. Instead, we had to accommodate her. The final disastrous consequence of Ashley's total lack of familiarity with Vegas was of course the issue with the officiant ordination. She didn't know the local laws but pretended she did by passing off ChatGPT garbage as expert guidance, and then we were left unable to get legally married on wedding day. The biggest issue in hiring Ashley and DiD was that they were not local, but it was far from the only problem -- it was just the one that was hardest to make up for. Ironically given that the firm literally has "detail" in the name, Ashley is so NOT detail-oriented it makes me wonder about her choice to work as a wedding planner. In the final weeks leading up to the wedding, I was the one scrambling to ensure all details were considered and sorted -- redoing the schedule timeline and discovering key logistics gaps, procuring a vendor for supplies to handle an anomalous weather event, coordinating comms with the wedding party and all guests, and generally doing the job that Ashley was meant to do. If your goal in hiring someone who bills herself a "luxury event planner" and charges $15k to plan a one-day event is to have a premium experience where you can sit back and rest easy that someone is taking care of the details, you will be grievously disappointed.

If I could give Emily 0 stars, I would. Emily Phelps now goes by Atelier Pasadena/Pasadena Wedding…read morePlanner. She made our planning and day of the wedding more stressful when her role was to make our process smooth and stress free. We hired her as a day of coordinator and should've seen the red flag after signing the contract, she lost our notes because "she was transferring to a new computer." Our communication after that, it was always us following up with her, she said she welcomed questions and I felt like I was bothering her when it was her role to help. She sent over documents for us to input information and we always filled them all out in a timely manner, but she didn't even spend time reviewing the changes and she would acknowledge the change, but when we met with her, she was still referring to the old information. We planned the wedding ourselves, picked our own vendors and all she had to do was execute the day of. When I followed up with her once, she said she was out of the country and said she told me, never did and I was asking for documents I've been asking about multiple time and she said she would send over over a month ago. I told her I don't appreciate her lack of communication and she didn't even apologize. When it got closer to the wedding, she told me to fill out the day of details document and it was completed over a week before the day of the wedding and she didn't even look at it. We hired event services through her and I texted her the day before the wedding asking what time she would be coming and she texted me saying she didn't hear anything from me and decided to come later. She never reached out to confirm the details with us or follow up, it's not our role to check in with her and it's been on the document. We filled it out over a week ago so the times we wanted event services to do to help with clean up couldn't be changed a day before because of her...she did the bare minimum that day and when it got close to the end, she left and didn't even tell us. I would never recommend her to anymore, unless you want additional stress. Very unprofessional and lacks communication. Our saving grace was our officiant who volunteered and also does event planning, if only we knew beforehand, we would've never hired Emily in the first place. The only time she communicated to us in a timely manner was when she needed our final payment. She said her old system got hacked, but it happened to be from her new name, Atelier. I'm sure she was just transferring it to that system...

We met with her to find out if she was "the one" and could immediately tell she was going to be a great wedding planner to manage us and the vendors along the way. Megan provided guidance when we went over our ideas and concepts for our wedding and helped make our vision a reality. She has a rare combination of soft skills, design skills, organization, and intuition that make for an excellent project manager. There were hiccups and little issues to work through during planning and the wedding itself - nothing ever goes as planned, even with the most amazing wedding planner, because that's life - but she was there with us, to support us emotionally and logistically, give advice, make design suggestions. She truly went above and beyond what either of us were expecting, both in the many ways that she helped us, and the execution of our wedding itself. Your wedding day goes by quickly and having Megan as our wedding planner allowed us to enjoy and celebrate our special day, instead of stress out.
