Jill is a woman of many talents bringing a wealth of experience and insight to her clients. She has been a dedicated and valued member of DreamGroup’s planning team for over 10 years.

“I love meeting new clients and helping them make sense of their vision.  It can often feel very overwhelming in the beginning with tons of ideas flying around and input from those around them.  I love being that sounding board for my clients to bounce those thoughts off of and provide direction to develop the vision in the best way possible.”

Our planner for our Persian wedding was Jill Bryan. We saw how hard she worked this past year, and felt so lucky to have her by our side from start to finish. She went above and beyond, and we are so grateful and appreciative.

We had a very specific vision of what we wanted for our big day and not only did Jill execute and deliver everything seamlessly, but she also foresaw any potential problems and dealt with them head on, without us even knowing! She is the most organized and meticulous planner and her experience was a tremendous asset.

She always went the extra mile for us, and it was a great feeling to have a planner that has your back and fights for you tooth and nail. This is 100% Jill and her work ethic is unmatched. Our guests were blown away by everything, and we credit this to Jill!

We hired Jill with Dream Group to support us on our wedding day and it was 100% one of the best choices we made! Jill was communicative, clear, thorough, and kept us on track leading up to the day. She was always available for advice and answering any questions we had along the way.

The day of wedding is where she truly shined, taking charge and making sure our focus stayed on each other and our guests. She floated about the venue ensuring everything was in its place and sticking to schedule. She did the heavy lifting and was right there to solve any issues that arose, even if it meant hopping in her car and driving out for supplies.

We can’t say enough good things about Jill, her incredible attention to detail, ability to wrangle dozens of people, and her kind words of encouragement, all while remaining cool and collected. Thank you Jill!

We had Jill be our day of coordinator. She was extremely patient and knowledgeable, having been in the wedding business for over 10 years. She suggested things that I didn’t think of, awesome! She was also very quick to reply and offer suggestions. Very professional, calm, and composed. When she took over it was her show. She made the day go so smoothly. We had no sense of time. She was readily available anytime I needed her on the day. She made the day perfect! We are so glad to have her coordinate for us, so grateful! Attentive and caring, making sure my husband and I had some snacks since we hadn’t eaten all day. Loved loved having her and her assistant tend to us and everyone at our wedding! They are amazing! You’ll be taken care of!

Dearest Jill,

You are the BEST! Thank you for helping me and Cesar with our wedding planning & wedding day! The planning process was so hard, but you are so warm and calming, which is exactly what we needed.

You made our wedding day so enjoyable! I can’t believe how much fun it was! It was a perfect evening and everyone had a wonderful time.

With love, Beverly & Cesar

We are midway through planning our wedding and we have nothing but great things to say about Jill. She exceeds our expectations on a daily basis! She successfully manages the challenges associated with planning a wedding for two busy professionals who live remotely and have a tendency to be over-absorbed in their work and often unresponsive.

J & B

We had a full planning contract with Jill from Dream Group. She was amazing. All of our emails with questions (and there were a lot of them!) were answered immediately, even on the weekends.

Jill was amazing, and so was everyone else we worked with from Dream Group.

I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!

I’m not sure I can describe just how wonderful Jill was in helping with our wedding.

My main goal in working with DreamGroup was to be able to have fun on my wedding day and not worry about the details and they definitely made that happen. Our wedding was truly the best day ever.

With Jill taking over for all the nitty gritty details, my now husband and I were able to relax and enjoy every second of our day. She took care of absolutely everything! From working with the vendors, to ensuring the set up was perfect, to managing the timing, and packing up all the gifts/cards, decorations and leftover cake. Jill even packed up all of our personal décor items and drove them to my mom’s house the next day! Seriously above and beyond!

Although Jill was technically our day-of coordinator, she was always there when we needed her throughout the planning process – all 18 months of it! She was incredibly responsive to my emails and my many questions. With Jill’s support I actually had a great time planning the wedding with little to no bridezilla moments.

I would definitely recommend DreamGroup to other brides. And my husband agrees that it was the best money we spent on the wedding!

Hi Jill,

Now that things have settled since the wedding, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and your team on behalf of myself, Alex and our parents. Your professionalism, attention to detail, and kindness were evident from the moment we met you. You were in all of the right places at all the right times. You took our vision and made the space look absolutely perfect for us! I couldn’t have done it better myself! Thank you for stitching up Alex’s pants after the hora and for pulling us away at the right moments to make sure we were well fed! You always made sure we had exactly what we needed in your Mary Poppins fanny pack and we couldn’t have asked for a better team to coordinate our perfect day!

Thank you again and all the best,

Jaclyn+ Alex

Initially, I was somewhat hesitant about hiring a wedding coordinator. I thought it was an expense that wasn’t really a “must”. Now looking back, it was easily the best decision we made when it came to planning our wedding. From our first meeting with our coordinator, Jill Bryan, she totally put our minds at ease. Throughout the planning process, she was always easy to talk to, easy to reach, and an absolute pro! Jill and her assistant made our guests feel welcome and made the evening flow seamlessly. I can’t say enough good things about our experience with DreamGroup!

Our wedding coordinator (Jill) was amazing and worth every penny. Being that my husband and I had recently moved away from Vancouver, where our ceremony was being held, we needed someone to run everything the day of our wedding and Jill did just that.

During the planning process she responded very promptly to all of my emails and phone calls. On the day of the wedding I was able to just relax and focus on what was really important that day, which was the marriage. She also brought to my attention important details that had completely slipped my mind or that I was unaware of. This allowed me to take care of them well in advance of the big day thus reducing any anxiety leading up to the wedding.

I strongly recommend DreamGroup Productions for your wedding coordinating/planning needs.

Where do I even begin with Jill Bryan?

A few months before our wedding, I attended a friend’s wedding where I realized that there were SO many wedding day details that I hadn’t even thought of. I decided to hire a ‘day of coordinator’ so that I didn’t have to worry about the details on our wedding day. BEST DECISION I EVER MADE!

I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Jill. She was professional, friendly, easy going, upbeat and our entire wedding day was flawless because of her attention to detail, intuition and work ethic. She was able to speak up for me when she could tell I wasn’t happy with something or may want something to be different.

She became my ‘go to’ person for every detail and I was able to rely on her for taking care of so many things on our wedding day! I was able to actually enjoy the day that I had spent a year planning! We had endless compliments from our friends and family on Jill’s service: from my mom getting scissors from her to cut a loose thread on her dress, to Jill packing up left over dessert for my dad to take home. She even transported all of our gifts and belongings to our hotel room!

There wasn’t a single detail overlooked and anytime I asked her about something, it was already taken care of. Thanks to Jill, I was able to sit back, relax, and enjoy the best day of my life without a single worry!

I urge all future couples to hire Jill! It was the best money we spent on the wedding by far!

THANK YOU AGAIN JILL!
