The Dream Maker - Lake Tahoe Weddings

Below are posted just a few letters out of the hundreds of "Thank You" letters our appreciative wedding couples have so lovingly sent. The first letter is the longest and was sent in by a thoughtful bride that wanted to illustrate, in detail, all of the things she enjoyed about her wedding (couple's picture appears next to letter).

Where do we even begin to express how magical our wedding was, thanks to you all! Each and every one of you went above and beyond to ensure our special day would be filled with magical moments to be cherished forever. Wes and I have lived the fairy tale romance and dreamed of a ceremony to represent our unique relationship. You certainly took our desires and requests to heart making the entire event feel like a fairy tale.

I felt like a princess from the moment I walked in your door. I knew that my Prince Charming was equally attended to! Our worries and distractions faded away as you set our spirits at ease. We were relaxed and carefree throughout the experience and beyond! The day could not have been more perfect. As I walked the mountain path lined with majestic emerald evergreen trees I saw my handsome Prince at the cliff's edge framed by the deep sapphire blue of Lake Tahoe. It was breath-taking! The bouquet you designed and created for us was exquisite! The T.L.C. bouquet with three dozen roses shaped in a heart was stunning. It expressed the passion and love between my beloved and myself so well!

Our special treatment didn't end with the ceremony! You offered us the whole experience complete with photo shoot after the ceremony (we felt like models), a charming video tape with our special songs included, recommendations for honeymoon accommodations, and insight into the many sites and wonders of Lake Tahoe. We have already watched the video several times and plan to take it on the road to friends and family who could not join us on the mountain top.

The extra care you took and the time you spent on every detail was very evident as the time flowed smoothly. Thank you for allowing us to personalize our wedding and for being flexible with our sentimental requests. Even in our most extravagant dreams, we could not have imagined such a romantic and more perfect day! Not only were you the Dream-Makers for our wedding, you helped set the stage for our lives together accenting spontaneity, fun, romance, wild abandon, and adventure, as well as a spiritual connection with God, nature and each other.

Thank you so much for your passion and dedication to keeping the flames of love and romance bright for couples around the world! We are telling everyone we know and strangers we meet about you and the wonderful service you provide, whether they are getting married, renewing vows, or know someone who is! Please call us if we can every do anything for you to repay your kindness and generosity! Wes and I will happily "sing your praises from the mountain tops" because we appreciate what you did for us and believe in the power of True Love and living your dreams!

Thank you for giving us such a beautiful wedding. The day turned our perfectly - the flowers were awesome! Everyone was very impressed. Joel's family had such a good time they want to do it again next year... we'll see...

Anyway, thanks again for being so professional and putting all my fears to rest... You guys are great!

Jeff and I wanted to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding day so spectacular. Not just because of the scenery from the top of the mountain (which I myself never imagined would be so breathtaking) but more because you made us both feel very special and took all the stress out of our "special day." In this day in age, it's almost impossible to find people who really care about their customers. So many people seem to just go to work for their paychecks, but you really put your heart into it. Jeff and I could never put into words just how grateful we are that you were very much a part of making our wedding PERFECT. You are truly beautiful people. Jeff and I will be sure to recommend everybody we know who look forward to getting married to do it at Dream-maker in Lake Tahoe.

Just a little note from the two happily married crazy Canadians that you married on Sept. 15th. We just wanted to let you know that we couldn't have been happier to have been married on the Mountain Top. It was the most beautiful place we have seen. Our pictures were developed and they were just gorgeous. So gorgeous that the professional development company that we took them to in San Francisco used one as their office pictures. We have bragged to family and friends about how beautiful it was there and how happy we were to get married there. So now we plan on coming back next year and staying in the condo we stayed at for the wedding. Thank you again and take care eh!!

Thank you for making Scott and Kerry's wedding such a perfect day. The Mountain Top was a perfect site for two outdoor people. It was a pleasure meeting you and I could see your enjoyment and I appreciate all the little things you did for them. As a parent, I will never forget that day.

Thank you for the nice wedding you gave to Michael and I. We will definitely recommend you and your sweet assistant to anyone that asks us about a wonderful place and company to go through for that once in a lifetime experience. I just looked at your web site and I think it is beautiful. I wish I had know about all the wonderful services you offer and we would have helped the kids out and ordered more of your services.

We can't thank you enough for the wonderful job you, David and Matt did on our ceremony. David did such a wonderful job with the photos and caught just the right shots during the ceremony. I still receive compliments on those gorgeous Saturn roses you helped me pick out. And your recommendations for the condo, my hair and make-up and dinner were right on. Incline Village is such a beautiful place for any occasion, especially weddings. You ordered the perfect weather for our trip, including a beautiful snowy landscape. I keep telling folks that they MUST have a wedding coordinator for their weddings- even if they are in the same town as the ceremony. You helped make it so easy and so stress-free, that the only jitters I had was hoping I didn't cry and ruin my make-up! Thank you again.

Just wanted to let you all know how pleased we were with our wedding!! Thank you all for everything! Everything was PERFECT!!!! All of the flowers were beautiful. We will send you a picture, as soon as we get them developed.

Thank you for the lovely ceremony. Both David and I were very pleased with the way things went. We were so impressed by the ceremony that would it be possible to send a copy of the service and poem we used? It would be very meaningful to us. Thanks for the beautiful service.

My husband and I wandered into your office, while we were on vacation, back in 1999. We had wanted an outdoor wedding that was quick and easy and no hassle. We talked to you on a Tuesday and after seeing the photos you had of so many lovely wedding and talking to you, I knew we had come to the right place. We came back on Thursday for a wedding that turned out to be my dream come true. I have to say, the bonus of your package was the beautiful flower bouquet that you make for me. All I did was mention Star Gazer Lilies and you created the wedding bouquet of my dreams. I will never forget them and the beautiful fragrance, as I carried the bouquet back to Michigan on the airplane (the flight attendant on the place gave us a free bottle of wine to celebrate!). The other bonus was how fantastic the photography was, and how quick and easy it was to develop. We came home and had enlargements make that looked as good as any studio prints. The Video, put to the music I had brought, was excellent as well. The whole experience was amazing and we recommend you to everyone we know. I just got on the Internet and saw your updated web site. It is glorious with so may wonderful pictures and all the information you need. I'm glad to see you are still thriving in your business of making dream come true. We have returned to Lake Tahoe every year because it is a place so beautiful, it is special to my heart. Thank for making it so.

Just wanted to drop a quick note... not that you would remember us. But we think of you folks all the time and appreciate the amazing program that made our wedding so wonderful there. We have you listed on our web pages and tell our friends about your services. Hope to come again for a visit soon. I was just in Salt Lake City as part of the Government Security detail for the 2002 Olympics and wished I had the time to swing up but we stayed pretty busy. You folks take care and tell the preacher we say, hello. Take care and God bless.

Dear Dream Maker team,
You-all married my husband and I in September of 2001. We had a mountain top wedding. Everything was absolutely awesome! The reason I'm sending this e-mail is because our pictures were great. Some were so outstanding and showcased the colors and backdrop of the mountain top that I was wondering if you would be interested in looking at them for your website. I know the pictures there are what originally captured my attention. Thanks and have a fun summer!

Sincerely,
Holly

What a busy year!

I should have sent this back in August but have had so much happen in our lives that I have no excuse but to admit that I dropped the ball. (Found out in early August that we are expecting, should be any day!) Just wanted to let you know how special you made our wedding day and how much we appreciated your professionalism. The ceremony, flowers and service you provided for our special day was top notch! You even helped us find a wonderful restaurant to have a special dinner on our wedding night that we are still bragging about to our friends and relatives. Thank you so much for all your help!

Dear Dream Makers,

Thank you for making our wedding day (July 13) at Lake Tahoe so amazingly beautiful and memorable. All we had to do was show up, get our license and get dressed. Of course, showing up was a major effort considering one of us had to drive 2500 miles to get there, but it was so worth every mile.

Mother Nature simply out did herself by orchestrating a breathtaking backdrop for our ceremony and you made it all possible for us to have an unforgettable location for the celebration of our love. Man-made wedding decorations could not even begin to hold a candle to the hand of God so evident in the unspeakable beauty of that mountain top on our day. No wedding chapel, cathedral, temple or church could compare with the majesty of the lake, mountains, trees and rocks. We both felt so close to God up there and what better place to start our lives together than that? When life's journey brings you to finally meeting that one and only love of your life, there could not be a more perfect or special place on earth to share that moment than at the mountain top at Lake Tahoe.

It seems like a dream but the pictures remind us that it really happened. Everyone who sees the pictures just cannot believe the beauty of it all. I'm so glad that we didn't depend upon our own family snapshots because they just did not do the scenery justice. The pictures you took were superb and I'm emailing an album to share some of them with you.

Thank you again and may God bless you and all those you join together in marriage.

Hi Guys,

My name is Moira & you married Daniel & myself last year, on 27th Sept. 2004. It was, without doubt and, by a long way the happiest day of both our lives - just as it should be.

Please accept this as a long overdue thank you anyway for being part of something I can't think about without tears of happiness in my eyes. A little piece of heaven on earth.

Huge & sincere thanks,

Moira and Daniel / London, England

Thank you for making our wedding perfect.

Thank you,

Hello My Dear Friends,

I am up late tonight transferring our digital pictures into our computer photo program. The pictures are awesome and I can only begin to imagine what the Dream-Maker pictures will be like!

It is hard to believe Michael and Britta's wedding is actually over, but the memories will never fade! The kids still remain in Tahoe and we got home late Thursday night. I slept for over twelve hours. I could not believe it! I guess it was time to just relax after such a special life event.

Scott, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you did to make my son's marriage to Britta such a heartwarming memory. Your loving heart and desire to make everything perfect was evident from the beginning to the end. John Thomas and Steven were fabulous as well. All three of you made each and everyone of us so comfortable and we were impressed with every step of the wedding.

Scott, I heard from Michael and Britta that you took a fall and hurt your hand while filming at the Falls. Are you doing alright with your hand? I am sorry to hear you got hurt. I know John was hurting with his broken toe and neither you nor he let your injuries interfere with the smooth flow of the wedding and photography. It is very evident to all of us what expert professionals you all are, besides being such caring individuals.

My dear Juliette, I don't think there are enough words in the English language to begin to say thank you for the friendship and love you have given me personally. What an amazing and blessed gift you are! I look forward to continuing down life's path knowing your loving friendship will be there by my side and I by yours. I don't intend to lose touch with either you or Scott. You both are too special of a gift to let go by the wayside of life.

My love to you all,

Stephanie Paradise, Ca
