We had outside coordinators, but I do know it was more cost-effective for us to start with the package for 31-50 guests and go from there. We were going to spend so much on the additional people (food, chairs, etc) that it just made more sense. You might check out their facebook review page to get some info and see if they have pictures of weddings. Your sis-in-law might see if she can work out a deal for you since they work with coordinators to bring them additional business. I saw several free weddings while we were there. The main differences I saw were the size of those weddings were quite small (def less than 20), it did not seem very private, and the decor looked minimal. I was trying to keep a decent, private distance so I may have missed the good stuff though! They were all tasteful and the couples we encountered were all very happy. I don't think you will have any problems adding your personal touches! Dreams was a pleasure to work with & they will take great care of you!
