    A perfect wedding day!

    We got married in the Berkshires in October 2023. Philip and Only In My Dreams worked with us for a whole year prior and made the wedding day perfect. Literally everything went off without a hitch - everyone had told us to expect things to go wrong, but nothing did! Philip found us the perfect venue, catering, photographer, DJ, florist, and had the best ideas for personal touches that made the wedding unique. He was there the day of to set everything up so we could just enjoy the wedding day without worrying about anything, even a last-minute change due to weather was handled without a problem. Our guests said it was the best wedding they've been to - thanks to OIMDE for making it happen!

    Exceeds Expectations!

    When my partner and I got engaged we knew we wanted to have our wedding in the Berkshires. However, since we're both from away, we also knew that we needed a local expert to help guide us in making arrangements and decisions - the Only In My Dreams team did not disappoint! Oskar and Mike's attention to detail, expertise, fabulous taste, and recommendations aligned with our vision and made our wedding day everything. They're also hysterical, down to earth, and a delight to be around. They went above and beyond to secure an amazing caterer in the 11th hour when our first caterer dropped out and for that, I will be FOREVER grateful. We still get compliments on how delicious the food was! I cannot recommend Only In My Dreams enough. They are a super adaptable, hardworking and responsive team and truly made our wedding a dream come true with their level of dedication and professionalism.

    Best Event Planners Ever

    I have worked with several event planners over several years. Oskar & Mike, in my opinion, are the best in the business. They are efficient, knowledgeable, and well-organized and hire the best professionals to work with them, more importantly, they are good people. They are a dream team.


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.
Of course! We work with all kinds of wonderful clients who have their own ideas of how they want their event to be. As a same-sex couple and a certified business by the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, we are exceptionally prepared to help navigate the challenges that might arise. Oh, and we even offer a resident Drag Queen (Nancy Nogood) who will happily perform at your event or even officiate your wedding.
This really depends on the event type and level of involvement needed to realize your expectations. We currently offer 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. We also offer many options in between. Please reach out and we will happily send you more information about each package.
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. We are happy to meet via zoom, phone, or in person, whatever is most comfortable and easy for you.
A wedding planner’s primary goal and responsibility is to help you stay focused and organized. We’re here to help you stay on track, refer you to you reputable vendors, supply a wealth of resources, and negotiate on your behalf and carry out your vision. In addition to helping to plan your event, if you engage us for services, we will nimbly react to any possible wrinkle that may occur.
After over 10 years of event planning in the Berkshires, we are very close to many quality vendors. 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. We are of course happy to work with any vendors you already have booked and will reach out to them to get to know each other once you have engaged our services.
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.
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. Although this option may be the perfect fit for you, we always love being more involved in your planning process than day of coordination allows. We’d be happy to discuss the benefits of moving to a more expansive and complete planning package.
Onsite coordinators are a wonderful resource, but one must remember they are there to advocate for the venue and will likely have many questions about timing the event. We are here to advocate for you and having us there even with an onsite coordinator save you having to be the point person for questions throughout the evening which can certainly take away from your overall enjoyment.
Absolutely!
It boils down to the fact that we will treat your wedding 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. Plus, with over 10 years of experience, we can promise whatever comes up has already been something we have faced, and we will have answers to help work through each and every possible scenario.
This all depends on the type and size of event you are planning. For a wedding, we would say to start the conversation when you’ve set your date (we recommend 8-12 months in advance where possible). We still only bill based on the package you have selected. 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”.
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.
