Dream Events by Daria 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Alexander, NC
  • Florist

Dream Events by Daria specializes in floral design in the greater Asheville area, while also being available for destination locations. Our designs are influenced by the local environment and the inner beauty of each person. Every bouquet and event design is unique and in each one is a harmony of life, joy, and timeless elegance. Our team is here to ensure your upcoming event is dreamy, excellent and stress free.

“I am still in awe when I look at pictures or think about the floral pieces that Daria created. My husband and I had a very small (total of 8 people including him and I) wedding. As a result I honestly thought we’d just get a small bouquet and a boutonniere and call it a day. No! Daria went above and beyond with my wedding planner (Mom) and we had an amazing array of flowers for the cake, the dinner table, the altar area of the small private room the ceremony was in, and the bouquets were phenomenal. She sent a mood board/color palette idea beforehand and I could not have hand-picked things myself to match the aesthetic I was picturing the way she did. Stunning. Worth every penny and every petal!”

“Oh My, Gorgeous! provided flawless, soft glam and romantic wedding beauty services for our big day. Tina, the lead artist, was friendly, professional and made my wedding makeup come out absolutely perfect.

“Melissa was awesome! I was the mother of the groom. I traveled in from Tennessee, had only communicated over the phone and shared text messages and pictures for inspiration of how I wanted my hair and makeup with her. She arrived at my Airbnb the day of the wedding and literally worked her magic. She was calm and personable. I was ready on time and felt beautiful all night. I couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist. And for it to be someone on such an important day that I had never met in person, it was truly spectacular.”

“Henderson Acres is truly beyond anything we could’ve hoped for with our wedding venue. First their actual outdoor space and house is so beautiful it is straight out of a magazine- picture perfect. The decor and stone within the house is such an elevated look we were in awe of. They are constantly adding things to the space and not to add things you need to pay for but to offer plenty of things for you to enjoy to use during your day. For instance there was several items of decor we used from them that we decided day of to use and the flexibility of that is incredible. They have a reasonably priced furniture package that their venue staff helps set up on wedding day and they have a retractable tent in case of inclement weather. Next the staff is absolutely incredible. Seriously beyond kind, helpful, responsive, and authentically caring. Planning the wedding was a dream with them, and the staff the day of was beyond kind and helpful ensuring the day ran smoothly. An example, we had one guest who was in a wheelchair and had to have an uber come to the venue for pick up/drop off - the staff without being asked drove to the bottom of the driveway waited for the uber and personally escorted them to the top. That kind of hospitality was noticed by our guests who raved about their kindness. I could write about so many more amazing things this venue has to offer. We received countless (truly countless) compliments on this venue and the venue staff - from the beauty of the space to the kindness and authentic care everyone felt. Our photographer captured the day perfectly with such beauty and somehow you’re still amazed seeing the space in person. I think there is something special about a family owned business and this venue is a prime example of it! Without a doubt the best decision we made in our wedding planning was booking Henderson Acres after so much searching - couldn’t recommend more!!!!”

We are from the NYC area and he took the time go over what locations would be ideal and suggested great vendors to work with. In the lead up to the wedding, he made a timeline of how the day would go. On the day of the wedding, he made my wife and I feel so comfortable and relaxed during the entire day and helped make this experience truly memorable. The pictures were spectacular.

“Our original wedding planner failed us when we needed them most, and what should have been one of the happiest times of our lives quickly became overwhelming and stressful. Golden Forest Events stepped in and immediately brought organization, professionalism, and a sense of calm to a situation that felt like it was falling apart. They helped take control of the details, communicated with the people involved, worked through problems behind the scenes, and made sure our wedding could still move forward. Instead of allowing us to spend our wedding day worrying about everything that had gone wrong, they focused on solutions and allowed us to focus on actually getting married and enjoying the day. What stood out most was their willingness to step into a difficult situation that they did not create and still treat our wedding as though it had been theirs to manage from the beginning. They were professional, responsive, compassionate, and incredibly resourceful. There are so many things that could have gone differently without their involvement. We will always be grateful that Golden Forest Events was there when we needed help the most. If you are looking for a wedding planning team that can not only create a beautiful event but also remain composed, organized, and solutions-focused when unexpected situations arise, I highly recommend Golden Forest Events. They did not simply help with our wedding they helped save it.”

“Having Laurel Falls for four days and three nights was an absolute game-changer for our wedding weekend. It gave us the chance to truly connect and celebrate with our guests, most of whom traveled from all over the country. It’s rare to get that kind of extended, quality time with your favorite people, and it made the entire experience so much more meaningful and relaxed. From start to finish, the Laurel Falls team was incredible. Their communication was always fast, friendly, and detailed, which made planning from Denver so much easier. The setup and teardown crew was fantastic. They made sure every detail of the property was perfectly arranged for our wedding day. We used Ceremony Rock, the barn, barn deck, and barn patio, and each space offered its own unique charm and breathtaking views. We also hosted a bonfire the night before our wedding, and the team even provided the firewood! It was such a fun and cozy way to kick off the weekend with our guests. Every cabin and the venue itself came fully stocked and thoughtfully prepared, which was such a relief after traveling. From the stunning mountain views to the well-maintained grounds and comfortable accommodations, everything exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend Laurel Falls to anyone considering it as a wedding venue. The setting is magical, the team is wonderful, and I truly wouldn’t change a single thing about our experience. It was the perfect blend of beauty, comfort, and connection, a weekend we’ll never forget.”

“By the luck of the draw, Nathan was available for our very quickly planned wedding--we snagged the last date he had in June 2024. I was ecstatic because I had always admired his work. My now husband and I had a blast working with him, we never thought taking photos/videos would be one of the highlights of our big day but it really was. The whole family loved working with Nathan, too. He was laid back but nothing short of a true professional--he was somehow everywhere, capturing everything yet never in the way. He went with the flow with funny family eccentricities that popped up and made everyone feel comfortable. Our photos and video got back to us in shockingly record time and we can't choose favorites because we love them all. Multiple people we've shared photos have said, "that looks straight out of Vogue or a magazine."

“Choosing the right photographer is a big deal—truly one of the decisions that can make or break your entire experience. We met Nathan at the very beginning of our journey, during our engagement shoot at the Biltmore Estate. We were both nervous, awkward, and completely unsure of what to expect. Then Nathan arrived, and everything changed. Within minutes he had us laughing, relaxed, and genuinely enjoying ourselves. That was the moment we knew he wasn’t just talented—he was special. So when it came time to choose someone to capture our wedding in Sedona, we took a chance and asked if he would fly out. Honestly, we thought it was a long shot… but he immediately said yes. And thank goodness he did. I will never forget the moment he walked into the room on my wedding day. I had just started feeling that wave of nerves while finishing my hair, and the instant Nathan stepped in, I felt completely at ease. How does he do that? He has this quiet magic about him—an ability to ground you, hype you up, and disappear into the background all at once. His passion is infectious. His eye for intimate, meaningful moments is unreal. And somehow, while capturing every single one of those moments, he manages to remain practically invisible. When we received our gallery, we both laughed, cried, and sat there in awe. It felt like reliving the day, but through the lens of someone who truly understood us. To put it simply: Nathan is gifted. Exceptionally, unmistakably gifted. We even showed our engagement photos to another top-tier photographer, and her reaction was: “Book him immediately. His editing is some of the most incredible work I’ve seen—I want to talk to him myself!” If you're reading reviews trying to decide who to trust with your memories, stop here. You’ve found the one. Nathan exceeded every expectation we had—and then ten more we didn’t even know we should have. He is the best of the best.”

From the mountains to the coast I've been capturing amazing stories and moments for over eight years now. I absolutely love creating beautiful authentic films of couples and their wedding day. It's an honor really, so I'm always grateful! My goal is to create films that you'll fall in love with over and over again. I defiantly recommend checking out my Instagram, that's definitely a platform where I keep the most updated films and clips I've created, also a great place to find inspiration for the style and vibe of your wedding day. Please let me know if there is anything I can help you with.

“We believed capturing our wedding day was one of the most important decisions of wedding planning as we wanted a film we could look back on and watch with family, friends, and our future children! Our wedding video was beautiful and everything we’d hoped for! The whole experience was smooth and easy! Tim was so personable and friendly! We cannot recommend him enough or his quality of videography! Truly captured our wedding in the most intentional way!”

“I don’t even know where to start… from the time leading up to the wedding, to the day of, Moriah was absolutely wonderful to work with! She truly made my wedding day everything I’ve ever dreamed of. On the day of, I can’t even describe the feeling of seeing all of your planning come to life, and I know Moriah and her assistant, Kenzie, were behind it all. Not only did Moriah handle all the bigs things with ease (band, food, seating, contracts, cake, etc)… but she also made every little detail, every single DIY, and special request, EXACTLY how I wanted them. When there were hiccups with other vendors (a sick content creator, or a limo driver who fell asleep and forgot to pick us up) Moriah and Kenzie swooped in and saved the day without missing a beat. About a month or 2 out from the wedding, I felt so chaotic trying to put all the pieces together, but Moriah really came in, gave us a plan, and executed perfectly. She was there to answer the big questions and small questions leading up to the wedding. It was SO easy to get in contact with/text her (an underrated part of wedding planning, and something not all planners prioritize). It’s a day that every girl dreams of and it’s so important to have the right people there to make it happen. With Moriah I didn’t feel like I needed to compromise on any of my dreams, she just helped make it happen and made it look so easy (even though I know it was not). You can tell she is truly passionate about making your wedding day a perfect one. I couldn’t recommend her enough!! PS. I got so many compliments from other vendors on Moriah!? So they must have loved her too! Peep Moriah in the pics w a bubble machine bc my husband left the bubbles for the guests at home on accident lol”
