Q: What types of events does Only In My Dreams plan?

A: We gladly plan any type of event. Everything from your dream wedding with hundreds of guests to corporate/Not-for Profit meetings and everything in between. No matter what your dreams or budget are; we can make your vision a reality.

Q: What are the fees for planning an event?

A: This really depends on the event type and level of involvement needed to realize your expectations.  We currently offer three packages that are formulated to make sure each client receives the support they need.  We offer everything from a "Consultation Package" which includes only help in the planning and not having us at your event,  to our “Premium Package” which offers help in each and every aspect of your event. Please send us an email at info@onlyinmydreamsevents.com or hit the “Work With Us” button and we will happily send you more information about each package.

Q: Can I get a consultation? What does it cost?

A: Of course! We’d never dream of trying to plan your event without making sure we know just what you’re looking for and how to proceed. See the Work With Us page and we can schedule a meeting.

Q: Why do we need an event planner?

A: An event planner’s primary goal and responsibility is to help you stay focused and organized. We’re here to help you stay on track, refer to you reputable vendors, supply a wealth of resources, and negotiate on your behalf and carry out your vision.  In addition to planning your event, if you engage us for services, we will wimbly react to any possible wrinkle that may occur.

Q: How do I know if Only In My Dreams is a good fit for us?

A: We recommend a consultation to ensure that we’re the right fit. We are very flexible and here to meet your needs, so we are confident we will find a positive way to work together.

Q: How do you select your vendors?

A: We are very close to many quality vendors in the Berkshires through our long experience with party planning and other events we have produced. Securing each vendor and making sure they are tops in their fields and have all needed licenses/insurances is an important part of our job. Also, we love to work with vendors who are fun to partner with and believe that this makes the entire planning process easier all around.

Q: Do I have to go through your vendors if I hire you as my planner/designer?

A: The short answer is, no. However, we have worked hard at developing these relationships and we can guarantee the quality of the service of vendors we suggest. However, we are more than happy to work with any vendors you would prefer.

Q: Do you offer day of coordination support?

A:  We can certainly provide this service if it is something you are seeking. This will allow you to concentrate of being fully present at your event and not worrying about the behind the scenes operations. Please see our “staffing” page for more information and pricing on this service.

Q: My venue offers an on-site coordinator for the day of the event. Do I still need an event planner?

A:  Although it is great to have an on-site coordinator for the day of your event, we will help guide you from your planning beginnings to the day of your event. For those of you who do not have an on-site coordinator, we will be there to help as well if you so desire.

Q: Do you carry insurance?

A: Absolutely.

Q: What separates you from other event planners?

A: It boils down to the fact that we will treat your event as if it is our own. We will be there to make your dreams a reality and help you figure out what your options are. Unlike other larger planning services, we will give you one on one service and will be there to ensure a successful event.

Q: How soon should I book your services?

A: This all depends on the type and size of event you are planning. If it’s a wedding, we would say to start the conversation when you’ve set your date (we recommend 8-12 months in advance where possible). Other events can certainly take a shorter planning time. Don’t worry; your cost would not increase if you started earlier. We still only bill based on the total number of hours spent working on your event. All in all, always start the planning early. It’s better to have some breathing room as the event approaches. That being said, we’re totally comfortable working in a last minute, high-stress environment, so if you find yourself needing to plan a last minute event, don’t hesitate to call. We’ll let you know if it’s not possible to do, but our attitude is “there is always a way”.

Q: How often will we meet?

A:  This is best answered when we have our first consultation and depending on the package that you select. Once we know what you would like your event to be like, we can make a schedule. Visit the Work With Us page and we will forward our current packages and what they offer.

Q: Are there any types of events you will not help plan?

A: As long as it’s legal, we’re here to help. We enjoy planning weddings, anniversaries, theater and gallery openings, you name it!  We are also 420 friending and can help you created a wonderful green event in Mass where it is legal. We can do it.
