Owner and Lead Coordinator Whitney Wing Drake has literally been coordinating events her entire life. She began her illustrious career coordinating art shows at her parents' art gallery in Sherman Oaks, which they owned since before she was born. Beginning in 1999 Whitney transitioned into the glamorous world of entertainment events with a major cinema exhibition company in Hollywood where she coordinated film premieres, corporate screenings, and private VIP events. Complete with red carpets, press lines, private rooms, multi-million dollar budgets, and Hollywood A-listers these events were truly larger than life. During that time Whitney received several accolades including a National Prize from Paramount Pictures.
In 2007, inspired by her own wedding, Whitney refocused her interests to events of a more personal and sentimental nature, thus Wish Wonder Dream was founded and the Dream Team was created. The Dream Team is a group of Coordinators who share a passion for working with couples as they embark on the unforgettable journey towards becoming husband and wife. We take immense pride in being selected to accompany our clients on one of the most special and important days of their lives and it is truly an honor to be able to bring their dreams to life with them.
The Dream Team currently includes Owner & Principal Coordinator Whitney Wing Drake, Month Of Principal Coordinator Rose Villena, Studio Assistant Stacey Sims, Assistant Coordinators Hillary Winston, Ben Sao, Krystle Zhang, and Interns Taylor Tronson and Cynthia Hernandez.
