Patrice Briley
Founder | Wedding Consultant | Calm in the Chaos
Hey there! I’m Patrice Briley—a hopeless romantic, logistics lover, and the heart behind Hopes & Dreams. After 30+ years in project management, I followed my passion for creating meaningful celebrations and stepped into the wedding world—and I haven’t looked back.
I work with couples who want a beautiful, stress-free day without getting overwhelmed. Whether you need help from “Yes” to “I do,” or just someone to pull it all together at the end, I’ve got you.
A Few Things That Define My Planning Style:
- Calm presence under pressure
- Seamless organization with a soft touch
- Eye for details that reflect your story
- A deep belief that your wedding should feel like you
Weddings are deeply personal. That’s why I focus on the moments that matter most—the laughter, the happy tears, the quiet glances, and all the little details that make your day unforgettable.
