Daring to Dream is above all a thoughtful and professional team that is more than capable of handling all your wedding needs. For my daughter’s wedding, we chose Daring to Dream for Bar service and our photo booth. Brian was very helpful in assisting us in taking care of every aspect of drink service, from detailed shopping lists to the idea of having hydration stations instead of water bottles (best decision ever!). On the day of, they took care of everything, so that even on one of the hottest days in San Miguel everyone had refreshing water and a cold drink! The signature cocktails were amazing and a big hit with guests. One of the biggest life savers was that Daring to Dream took care of pick up and handling of the ice, which alone was such an amazing service that I literally could not imagine what the day would have been without it. And the photo booth was perfect. The photo booth itself is classy and super fun. We opted for the addition of the photo printer which was a great addition for guests to have a way to remember the day. There are other options out there for your wedding needs, but I would recommend Daring to Dream over and over again. If you are looking for a team of professionals who are knowledgeable and kind, and who will make your big day run smoothly look no further! Thank you so much for all you did!

Details: 101 - 125 guests • Wedding reception • Upbeat / lively • Public venue • Beer • Liquor / mixed drinks • Wine • Non-alcoholic beverages • Venue will already have a bar • Tip jars allowed

We hired Daring to Dream Events for partial wedding planning, bartending services, and photo booth, and could not have been more happy with the level of quality for all 3.We had to unexpectedly switch wedding venues after already months of planning which was very stressful, especially with not living in the area. Aubrey went above and beyond to support us through the change and reassured us that everything would work out for the better, and it 100% did.Our family was immediately impressed when they saw Aubrey in action at the rehearsal. She was so organized and on top of things. I couldnt believe how much she tackled all weekend because she pretty much prevented any tasks or issues from reaching me. She ensured we were able to be fully present and enjoy the day.Brian is an absolute expert bartender and he crafted delicious quality cocktails from some ideas we brainstormed together. Since we had to provide the booze at our venue, he gave us a shopping list of everything wed need based on our drink menu and # of guests. People also raved about his and his brothers personable service behind the bar.The photo booth was also a highlight of the wedding. The quality of prints were keepsake-worthy, and the machine was super easy to use. We got the guestbook add-on for guests to put their 2nd copy print into, and its one of our favorite takeaways from the wedding.Make it a one-stop-shop for these services to make the wedding planning process that much easier. Couldnt recommend them enough!
