Hi, I'm Maréa!
​
I’m a Colorado native with a heart for people and the planet, and I’m on a mission to reshape the way we celebrate. Being raised in the Springs, I fell in love with the mountains at an early age— a passion that eventually grew into a deeply felt love for Mama Earth and a commitment to environmental stewardship.
I fell in love with the magic of weddings when I attended my first one at 5 years old, but it wasn’t until 2018 that I founded Dream Catcher Weddings, a planning company rooted in intentionality and earth-consciousness. In 2020, with the help of my late mentor Tricia, I committed to a rigorous re-examination of our industry’s footprint, which led me to set the foundations of doing business with inclusivity and sustainability at our core. For me, wedding planning is about more than just decorating tables and keeping vendors on schedule.
It’s about helping you believe that whatever wild and unconventional ideas you’ve imagined can be brought to life, and reminding you that celebrating love is a revolutionary act.
Beyond love-party planning, I am an avid community-builder. I founded Wine Wednesdays, a networking group for values-driven wedding professionals, and I host The Sustainable Wedding Show podcast to spark collaborative solutions for our industry’s biggest challenges. Through my consulting work, I help other vendors implement practices where efficiency, hospitality, and sustainability go hand-in-hand.
When I’m not leading my diverse "Dream Team" or advocating for industry change, you can find me rock climbing, gardening, drumming, or dancing. I’m a thrill-seeker and a wanderlust soul at heart, but nothing beats snuggling my puppies or throwing an outlandish party for my favorite people.
"There are so many facets and reasons as to why I love working with Maréa and the DCW team! Each person you meet from the Dream Catcher team is ready to serve their wedding clients to fullest, and does so with so much compassion and love! From crystal clear communication to their attention to detail, you will be sure to have the smoothest wedding day possible. Like I said, I can’t speak highly enough of Dream Catcher Weddings!"

Lead Planner & Designer

(she/her)
Hello Dreamers! My name is Danielle and becoming a part of Dream Catcher Weddings is fulfilling a lifelong dream to find a job that I am passionate about and allows me to express my creativity. I am a perfect mix of dreamer and doer. I love to think outside the box and yet structure and process (let's not forget list-making) are my jam. Art is my way to express, my way to decompress, and my way to show love and appreciation. I love to paint, draw, design, craft and build. When I am not creating, I love being active. Hiking, kayaking, sports of all kinds are just a few of the activities my family and I enjoy doing.
​
I am originally from Pennsylvania/New Jersey, and moved to Colorado in 2021 to follow my heart to the mountains. I am married to the love of my life, and together with our two devastatingly handsome, strong-willed, smart, silly boys, we hope to travel the world and experience all the beauty this earth has to offer. This is why it is so important to take care of the amazing planet that gives us so much.
​
Dream Catcher Weddings melded all of my passions into one incredible job! Weddings are the ultimate expression of the love between two people, and I love to be the one to help capture that in a physical form. I love meeting each couple and learning their story, and dreaming up a vision that encapsulates their love. It is so rewarding to take my passion for creativity and art to help give couples the wedding of their dreams. Not only are we creating a fairytale moment, but we are doing it while helping to promote better choices for the planet. I am so grateful to be working a job where love, the earth, and creativity are the basis of every single day.
"We would love to reiterate how much of a lifesaver Danielle has been. This weekend of celebration would not have been possible without her. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being such a wonderful guide throughout the planning process. You've been our sounding board, voice of reason, advocate, designer extraordinaire, and (most importantly) someone we genuinely look forward to talking with and being around."

Lead Planner

(he/they)
Hi loves, I’m Leo!
Hailing originally from the South, I have lived all over the US and South America. I love to travel and my work has taken me across the world and back. I settled in Colorado Springs after falling in love with the mountains and the community kept here. I enjoy music, theatre, cooking, and exploring new places for new adventures. That is why I am also passionate about being environmentally conscious - so that new adventures are always around the corner.
I’m also a classically trained singer, dancer, and acting professional who has worked for Norwegian Cruise lines, Dollywood, and professional tours and theatres across the US and Europe. In fact, when not running weddings, I work as a wedding singer and (separately) as a singing-bartender at Icons in Downtown C Springs. If you’re looking for a special song on your wedding day or need to hear a familiar tune to calm the nerves, I’m your guy.
I moved to Colorado at the end of 2020, and was swept up by this Dream Team just last year. Becoming a part of Dream Catcher Weddings has allowed me to express my dedication to celebration and this planet. To me, weddings are physical manifestations of love that connects, binds, and dedicates you to each other, bridging the gap between your families and loved ones. Helping produce these magical moments is what I am passionate about. Whether you need a curl pinned, tie tied, or just someone to hold your hand and remind you to breathe, I’m dedicated to making sure that your fairy-tale day has a happy ending. Being apart of a sustainably conscious company that allows me to do that is the cherry on top.
Joining Dream Catcher Wedding has been a gratifying experience for me. I’m so grateful to be the fairy-godfather for your special day while helping keep leaves green and the air clean. So loves, what wishes are we granting today?
"If you're wondering whether wedding planning services are worth the cost - trust me, they are! At least if you hire DCW. They were there for 12 hours (!) thinking of every detail, answering every question, and making sure all we had to worry about was remembering our dance moves."

Amy
Lead Planner
since 2023
(she/her)
Hi y'all! I’m Amy. I have a passion for curating unforgettable moments that highlight the uniqueness of my couples and their LOVE story. (Fun fact is that my name actually means “love” or “beloved.”) My work is shaped by the twists and turns of planning my own wedding not once, but three times, thanks to the unpredictable rollercoaster of COVID-19 throughout 2020 & 2021. Through this experience, I have honed an exceptional ability to adapt, turning challenges into opportunities and making each celebration a testament to the resilience and triumph of love.
Beyond all the meticulous details that go into events, I love the great outdoors and exploring everything Colorado and the Southwest have to offer with my husband, Paul and pup, Peter. I take inspiration from the outdoors and believe in infusing natural beauty into everything as well as finding sustainable ways to make wedding dreams come true. That might even include feeding wedding compost scraps to my flock of chickens, ha!
Armed with a background in event planning within the context of higher education, I love to seamlessly blend my logistical expertise with artistic flair. From intimate gatherings to grand celebrations, I approach each event with a commitment to making it a cherished memory that will last you (and your guests) a lifetime. Through attentive listening and a deep understanding, it is my goal to craft weddings that transcend trends, focusing on creating an experience that feels uniquely loving - and uniquely you. I am excited about the possibility of helping tell your love story with sincerity, warmth, and a touch of magic!
"Dream Catcher was a huge part of making our wedding such a special day! We worked with Amy for months leading up to the big day, and she made sure we were on top of all the details, decisions, vendors, etc, and was a much-needed calming presence throughout. She helped make all the parts of our vision happen (beautiful venue, amazing vegan food & ice cream truck, doggy ring bearers & photo booth, a special family musical serenade, a glowstick grand exit, and more). I don't know what we would have done without help from her and the rest of the team - thank you!"
