For events that you can’t afford to miss a moment of and adventures that are so in tune with your wavelength, they become drenched in coincidence. This is where the extraordinary becomes the norm, and the norm becomes extraordinary.
"In life, everything to excess! Of life, take large and luscious bites the better to enjoy its variety. Moderation is best left in the monasteries for monks; and specialization, ‘tis for the insects. Live well, good men. ‘Tis thy best revenge!”
- Robert A. Heintein
Fancy sipping Pimms on the banks of the Thames with an Earl before being escorted into the House of Commons? You’ll see first-hand how much more entertaining British aristocracy and politics are than our tame American version.
It goes without saying that you’ll have access to the best shows in the world, the greatest restaurants in the city, and a twist on high tea like you’ve never had before.
You’ll pass through immigration like a diplomat and see the private chambers of Marie Antoinette (you’ll be one of only 20 guests out of every two million visitors). The DreamMaker Parisian getaway is a modern twist on a classic weekend.
Imagine being taken into the Papal Closet, to see how good you look in His Holiness’s robes under the watchful eyes of the Swiss Guard, of course. Next, you will arrive at the Sistine Chapel, where you and your family will be given private access to lie on your back and study the master’s work.
Imagine dinner with the exiled Princess of Burma, who will help you prepare the most incredible Italian food you have ever experienced. Imagine the High Priest of Italian fashion sending for you in his private helicopter, and the matriarch of the Gucci family herself outfitting your princess after lunch at her estate.
“Because of the shift to the Experience Economy, goods and services are no longer enough; -what consumers want today are experiences-memorable events that engage them in an inherently personal way”

Disney may think it has the market cornered on the ultimate kiddy vacation, but we’ve got a news flash for Mickey and Friends – the real can’t-be-beaten Disney experience is the exclusive domain of the DreamMaker®.
From your private mansion tricked out from tip-to-toe with every Disney toy imaginable to nightly pillow gifts for the little ones. And spin-your-own-pizzas, marching bands, cheerleaders bearing make-your-own-sundaes’, magicians, loads of toys, pre-prepared backpacks, and chauffeured Navigators to the door of the tram.
And waiting in line for riches is what becomes the “make believe”.
Watching the incredible floats of Carnival makes everyone’s heart beat just a little bit faster. Now imagine your pulse if you’re actually in the parade. After dinner with the “real” Girl from Ipanema(and yes, she has stories about Frank), you’ll slip into your elaborate costumes and take a coveted spot on the float. At Carnival, there’s a thin line between adventure and danger -and we’ll keep you right on edge.
Palio defies description. Part Medieval custom, part bitter rivalry, this horse race in Tuscany involves everything from broken bones (horses and jockeys) to bodyguards who make sure each of the town’s seventeen rival clubs aren’t poisoning each other’s equines. Full of anticipation, intrigue, exhaustion, magic, blood, and blessings, Palio is an exhilarating celebration of the best and worst of man and beast. One other thing – the Palio doesn’t take kindly to outsiders. You can’t get your hands on the tickets we have. This is access on top of access, from the parties before and after, to your 700 year old villa just a short chauffeured drive away.
Pamplona has become synonymous with The Running of the Bulls. El Encierro, “the enclosing”, may describe the narrow streets its bulls charge, but your eyes will only widen as your pulse quickens while you experience first hand what none before have seen—the spectacle that is Fiesta de San Fermin through the eyes of the DreamMaker®.

“The best bribe which London offers today to the imagination is that, in such a vast variety of people and conditions, one can believe there is room for persons of romantic character to exist and that the poet, the mystic, and the hero may hope to confront their counterparts.”

“He’s gawking at the river of color that floods the Sambodromo’s narrow “avenida,” the sheer audacity of it all. But what’s bursting his heart, he tells me, is the fact a people can come together not to wage war or worship a favored god, but in the cultivation of a collective “alegria”. English doesn’t have its equivalent, thought it might be loosely translated as collective happiness, even jubilation. It must be consciously cultivated and generously shared.”

“The Palio only lasts for 90 seconds, but they are the most exciting seconds that can be lived in all Europe. The Palio is both allegory and reality. It has remained true to itself, adapting to time during the past centuries, which is why it has not become an artificial folk event.”
-Yoeri Albrecht
“Pamplona was the perfect balance of unvarnished life and possible death. Lifetimes were lived in hours. Inhibitions fell to the wayside. Smiling was the only way of life. For my days there, this was life in another world”. Pamplona and San Fermin cannot be explained; they can only be experienced.”
-Charles Leocha
“A trophy carries dust. Memories last forever.”
Play
Everyone sees the game. Not everyone has a story. $45,000 for two front-row seats to the Lakers/ Celtics game? That’s a nice story (and no exaggeration), but still, yet, a short story. For a lot less, we can give you a story that will make friends who accompany you refer to you as the Duke of Fun. And for those who didn’t, well, tough titty, said the kitty.
"Sport is where an entire life can be compressed into a few hours, where the emotions of a lifetime can be felt on an acre or two of ground, where a person can suffer and die and rise again on six miles of trails through a New York City park. Sport is a theater where a sinner can turn into a saint and a common man become an uncommon hero, where the past and the future can fuse with the present. Sport is singularly able to give us peak experiences where we feel completely one with the world and transcend all conflicts as we finally become our own potential."
- George A. Sheehan
If you could leap into your widescreen and land in football heaven, you’d be at the doorstep of the DreamMaker® tailgate. Stars of championship games past, legends of the gridiron, Hollywood celebs, mind-blowing food, your better half shopping with the legend’s wives, and making friends for life with guys you worshiped from the fifty-yard line; just open the playbook if you’re shaking.
Outfitters are plentiful but they focus on one thing (as they should), the kill. Get the DreamMaker® involved and the haul becomes the icing instead of the cake. The Ultimate Hunt? New Zealand. This locale affords a rare opportunity to rise each day from a seven star boutique hotel, save the one night we have you “roughing it” in a tented camp site as you wake to spectacular river scenery. This is your “boy’s night out” with world-class fly fishing. Your private chef serves the days catch, and after a night of poker (yes, dealer included) , you’re off to kill Himalayan Tahr by helicopter. Then spend a fine afternoon bagging Red Stag trophies after an afternoon meal of grilled antelope steaks.
To complete the air/land/sea experience, you’ll catch Blue Cod, scuba dive for lobster and crayfish before departing to lunch amidst awe-inspiring vistas. Relax whilst the ladies are flown in to meet you atop your glacier for a lobster boil, complimented by wines your wives selected. All the while, the ladies are singing your praises as they sample Pinots and boast of their own adventures that make spa services seem like an afterthought.
Bottom line: If you just want a hunt, call an outfitter. If you desire an experience with the ultimate blend of luxury pampering and adventure and stay married, call the DreamMaker®.
Panama. Pearl Island. Guatemala. Costa Rica. More world records than anywhere else on the whole planet. When you come fishing with us, it’s not called fishing, it’s called catching. Sure, you’ll play Papa Hemingway in the casino and at dinner with Heavyweight Champ Roberto Duran, but one bet you know you’ll win is on the charter. We’re the only company in the world that guarantees you a minimum catch or the trip is on us. Imagine that.
What’s stopping you from playing the top 100? Access, no matter who you are. Do you want to play Augusta or grab lunch at the Royal and Ancient Club? Who doesn’t? But if you’re prepared to pay for the privilege, the DreamMaker® can make it happen.
“It is the ceremony of innocence that the fans pay to see – not the game or the match or the bout, but the ritual portrayal of a world in which time stops and all hope remains plausible, in which everybody present can recover the blameless expectations of a child, where the forces of light always triumph over the powers of darkness.”
-Lewis H. Lapham
“I was with Hercules and Cadmus once, When in a wood of Crete they bayed the bear With hounds of Sparta: never did I hear Such gallant chiding; for besides the groves, The skies, the fountains, every region near Seemed all one mutual cry. I never heard So musical a discord, such sweet thunder.””

“For a heathland course, it is a toss-up between Sunningdale and Woodhall Spa. For an overall sense of serenity relaxing on the porch overlooking the beach after a perfect day on the links, Maidstone would be hard to beat. Regarding having the most fun on a golf course, the two qualifiers would be Cruden Bay and Woodhall Spa. As far as your knees knocking on the first tee, we find both Merion and The Old Course to be the two most terrifying. The most spectacular views would go to Turnberry and Kingsbarns. The best lunch would go to Prestwick. The most formal and the greatest sense of tradition is Muirfield. The best course would be Carnoustie in Europe and The National Golf Links in Southampton. Places. We think too many American courses have confused exclusivity with greatness, and that’s a shame. It’s ironic given that Britain is generally a class-oriented society and America a place where you don’t have to check birth certificates that in the world of golf, it’s been reversed.”

Just don't ask for a theme party - the only thing he does is “mind-blowing”.
Party
It’s All About The Story
….Where events become a form of art. Give “The DreamMaker®” a ring, just don’t ask for a theme party. Everything he does is mind-blowing.
It would be enough to merely gather the extended family together each year, have a dinner or two and reminisce. But imagine if the family reunion were more than a mere gathering and became an experience where each moment and each breath were imbued with the magic of what makes your family special. Imagine a reunion where you gather strength from sharing an extraordinary journey with your kin.
What does such a journey entail? Songs written for the family by professional composers and performed by the family, reflecting your individual personalities; a presentation of the family, reflecting your personalities; a presentation of the family ancestry by a genealogist, stretching back as far as recorded history will allow; live fantasy games for the kids and skits each evening starring the children, directed by trained theatre educators; balloon makers, and children’s special adventures (and their own pizza chef); family crests and mystery guests; family-related activities that range from archery, falconry, castle visits, string quartets, 24/7 sommeliers, hunting, the finest cigars, ponies, harpist, hot air balloons, jousting, and golf. This is far beyond merely the stuff that memories are made of.
This is what your family deserves.
Your little girl will turn fifteen only once – one chance for her to be the Quincenera, to be sure, but none have the resources or artistry of the DreamMaker®. From a Corte de Honor carried in on white horses to your daughter’s own horse-drawn gleaming white carriage and fireworks to match her court’s colors, this is Quincenera on a scale befitting a princess.
Following a grand and solemn ritual with a lavish presentation of the Bible, rosary, and missal, a party will erupt with acrobats, magicians, and fire jugglers, lavish bounties of celebratory foods and wine, and a well-known band of her choice – how well-known depends entirely on how much you can afford to spend.
You can find the DreamMaker® Quincenera at the corner of Ritual Street and Circus Avenue.
Eid is not merely a festive release from a month of fasting and reverence. It is a time to offer gratitude for the gifts Allah has bestowed upon us and our families – not only by engaging in joyous familial celebrations and private devotion, and he also understands how during Eid, these can be beautifully intertwined.
Perhaps you wish to lay out a lavish banquet of the finest Halal offerings for your family and friends and also set a special table for those less fortunate to also partake. Maybe you’d like to create a fantasy carnival for the children of your family and friends and also invite the little ones from a nearby orphanage to join in the fun. However grand your wishes are, the DreamMaker® can ensure they will be executed with sincere compassion, and that true joy will be felt by all those fortunate enough to be included in your celebration.
The Chinese New Year is the most important time of the year to be with family; it is a time to visit, pay respects and make offerings for a prosperous year. Let the DreamMaker® arrange the ultimate New Year celebration: a family reunion at a private villa on a beautiful island. As each of your family members arrive via first-class transportation, they will be transported to luxurious accommodations decorated with a vast collection of beautiful red lanterns and scrolls to set a festive mood. The first day of your celebration culminates that night, when your entire extended family enjoys a traditional lion dance troupe usher in the Lunar New Year followed by a spectacular fireworks display custom-designed for your family’s enjoyment.
Each day will bring fresh pleasures in accordance with the traditions of the holiday, but who says tradition has to be boring? Lavish feasts, private temples for reflection and prayer, and artisans at the villa hand-crafting personalized lucky pieces from 24-karat gold for each family member will truly make this a once-in-a-lifetime celebration. If what happens on the first day of the Lunar New year is an auspicious indicator of the year to come, the DreamMaker® will ensure that you have a very fine year indeed
Diwali is a celebration of the light that illuminates the way for the devout to merge with the divine. So why leave anything to chance? Under the watchful eye of the DreamMaker®, honoured clerics will attend to your spiritual needs and world-renowned chef Madhur Jaffrey to the lavish meals and sacred ceremonies, the DreamMaker’s Diwali is a magnificent celebration, and requires special attention to every detail.
The DreamMaker® will bring the finest artisans from the Japanese tradition of pyrotechnics to craft custom-made fireworks with each of your family members. And one morning, each child will wake to find a two-ounce brick of pure gold wrapped like a chocolate bar. Master goldsmiths will fashion the brick into a keepsake that represents the parents’ dreams for their child. Camel rides, jugglers, fortune tellers and acrobats will complete the children’s fantay mela. For the grown-ups, imported Italian chocolatiers and confectioners will create their masterpieces, which may be exchanged with others to inscribe a very sweet year.
And when a troupe with illuminated headdress and candles perform a traditional dance to honor your family, you will know this is going to be a very good year indeed. Yes, you could observe a conventional Diwali, or you could take fate into your own hands and let the DreamMaker® show your family a glimpse of divine.
The bachelor or bachelorette party – a moment to make memories out of decadence and debauchery. Whether smoking the finest cigars known to man (yes, those cigars) with your best buddies in the plush Rosewood cabin of your private jet, or immersed in a water-massage in a wading pool filled with a thousand rose petals and your closest girlfriends, the evening begins with luxury and works it way to jaw-dropping sensual opulence.
Don’t worry, you won’t be expected to do anything that your spouse-to-be would be upset about – or at least not before everyone is too far gone to remember. Please leave the cameras and wallets at home, and if the girls want the cigars and the boys want the wading pool, the DreamMaker® is only too happy to oblige.
Turning Sweet Sixteen
Loving memories of yesterday
A young lady now can be seen.
But in the eyes of her biggest fans
She’s still a little girl
And time can’t erase those wonder years
But the years have now made a pearl

Heal
The path to wellness can start anywhere because it starts with a decision to seek it. The DreamMaker® does not profess to know the path to righteousness, nor to be your spiritual guide, nor to possess a healing elixir. But if you seek a place or experience that makes you feel alive and not purely on the physical plane, let The DreamMaker® guide you, as he does, to where your innermost being is connected with your innermost vision…of you.

“A soulmate is someone who has locks to fit our keys and keys to fit our locks….”
Love
“…that fit our keys and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out, and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we’re pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person, we’re safe in our own paradise.”

“We have lived and loved together
Through many changing years;
We have shared each other’s gladness
And wept each other’s tears;
I have known ne’er a sorrow
That was long unsoothed by thee;
For thy smiles can make a summer
Where darkness else would be.”
- Charles Jeffreys
An extraordinary thirteen-bedroom estate with all the modern comforts of home. Centrally located to towns that are straight from a fourteenth-century storybook. Truffle hunting – with pigs. Tasting a dozen varieties of just-pressed olive oil. Endless dishes at an all-night party. This is called An Italian Wedding. Pavarotti’s maestro cellist and a trio of opera singers will serenade you and your guests as your hot air balloons land. Ferraris will be on hand for you and your guests to drive, and handmade leather shoes will be created just for you. And when we fly in the country’s most celebrated makeup artist to prepare your bride and her friends on the wedding day, your princess will appear to have a divine light shining upon her. This Italian Wedding begins where fairytale weddings leave off.
Horse drawn carriages. Private estates with hundreds of acres of lush rolling hills. Castles, myths, and mists. This is Ireland. Tell the DreamMaker® early on what foods you desire at the wedding table, and your vegetables and meats shall be quite literally raised exclusively for you, from seed and birth to harvest and banquet. Enjoy real Cuban cigars while tenth generation Irish folk singers compose a lilting song for you and your bride. Don the traditional leather garb of the falconer and step out for country gentlemen’s hunt with your majestic new friend. You’ll wake up (as we cut the electricity to your estate) and transport you into the year 1274. Discover the medieval village we built (whilst you slept) and interact in period costumes with the characters of the era. Depart this period and later in the week, you’ll fast forward to the Age of Enlightenment and have a true look at the politics and culture that gave birth to modern times. Musicians, an Irish choral group, harpists, fireworks, buskers, Irish dancing, string quartets, opera trios and grand banquets and wine tastings are daily fare. We’ll design the most extraordinary wedding website (to get them there) and hand you the video to prove it all happened. The mythic undertones and incredible hospitality of the DreamMaker’s Ireland will make your event not just a wedding, but a legend.
And that’s no blarney.
Andalucia. With wedding headquarters in Marbella, you will be among the most discerning of European wealth and aristocracy – and you’ll also be a ninety-minute yacht ride away from a quick shopping jaunt to Morocco. The new St. Tropez, Marbella offers mountains to your back and oceans to your front, dramatic vistas framed by palm trees and blue skies, one of Europe’s finest golf clubs, Valderama and the most jaw-dropping private villas you’ve ever seen. But the one you can only see via the DreamMaker® is the only one in the world with a huge original Picasso painted on the floor of the swimming pool. Marbella is truly a playground of the rich and famous, and after just an afternoon you’ll understand why twenty-two princes and princesses call it home and why the King of Saudi Arabia can’t bear being away too long from his weekend spot here. Bring your wide-brimmed hat and oversized sunglasses and a little bit of attitude. This is understated wedding luxury at it’s unattainable (until now) finest.
Regardless of your denomination, you will find great pleasure in the local we have assist with the wedding vows. Like Acapulco itself, his passion is understated yet inspiring. Each service he does imbues him with a sense of awe and astonishment at the power of two people joining their lives together. You and your guests will also find great pleasure in your private yacht with hot oil massages; don’t worry, the refreshing breeze means not a drop of sweat shall grace your brow. And when a helicopter showers you with rose petals just as your vows are complete, your guests will gasp with their own sense of awe and astonishment.
Shimmering sunsets, bamboo rafts in the Bay, horseback rides through the rain forest, poolside reggae bands, rum punch 24/7 (you never know when you might need some juice!) and incredible fishing – some say Jamaica’s been done too many times as a wedding destination, but it’s never been done the way the DreamMaker® does it. For starters, you’ll get your own eight thousand square foot villa, with neighboring villas for the friends and family – and that’s the makings of a villa-to-villa celebration where the venue may change but the party never ends. You’ll be attended to round-the-clock by the most caring, friendly, and fun staff this side of ocean and with sunsets this spectacular you won’t even notice that your Daiquiri seems to keep refilling itself. The DreamMaker® Jamaica wedding will ruin resorts for you forever.
Perfection has a minimum cost, and the DreamMaker® can make it available to you here in Jamaica.
Picture the ruins of a seventeenth century convent. Two walls remain, and where these two walls meet is where you two shall make your vows. As the sun sets behind three volcanoes, eight hundred flickering candles illuminate the arrival of your guests for the nighttime ceremony. Following an all night revelry, the rest of the weekend shifts gears from high romance to the high life. With poker tournaments in your own private saloon, stunning hotels and villas, police escorts from place to place, and horse-drawn carriages, you’ll feel like you’ve discovered a secret place where genteel luxury still abides. And when you get bored of the pampering, head out for some deep sea fishing -the best! – donkey rides on coffee plantations, Mayan dances, hiking, and swimming and sunning on glorious beaches. Guatemala has it all, and only the DreamMaker® knows how to bring it together for the perfect sun-splashed destination wedding.

From dinner and shopping in Florence with Laura Gucci to truffle hunting at a private Chateau, we’ll put the pizzazz back into the live auction. For a select few charities, the DreamMaker® will deliver auctionable experiences that cannot be commoditized. And if they don’t know how much it really costs, the sky’s the limit on the bidding.
Extraordinary charitable organizations deserve better-than-par results at the silent auction. Yet these events have largely become uninspiring both for the attendees and for the charity’s treasury. Let the DreamMaker® provoke good-natured competition amongst the clientele with items and experiences they never even knew could be had. Leave the BMW, cruises, condo, and jewelry to the charity further down their short list-they already have those in spades. If you’re ready to move into a different category of auction income, invite the DreamMaker® to your party.
Let the discerning and street-smart eye of the DreamMaker® examine your current environment to determine which of the elements in your fundraiser will be able to generate increased revenue. If your Board of Directors is change averse, the DreamMaker® will ride into town to guide them as to how current operations can be monetized and new opportunities created. You’d be surprised to discover what your current membership is willing to support once you put a value on it.
