About Your Dream Day, Dayton And Cincinnati
Your Dream Day / Kathy Piech-Lukas
Our team of wedding experts will work with you and our preferred wedding professionals to design the wedding of your dreams. From flowers to linens, lighting to wrapped dance floors, and signs to custom pieces, our dream team will work with you to determine the best look for you based on your style, budget and personality. We only accept one couple per weekend and plan a maximum of 12 weddings per year to ensure personalized customer service and attention to detail with our couples.
My favorite part of the wedding planning process is working with brides and grooms to discover their vision, bringing that dream to life, and getting a big hug of joy at the end of the wedding night. If I get a big hug, I know I have done my job. For me, this truly is a journey of bringing joy into people’s lives. A lot of our couples stay in touch with us after the wedding, watching their families grow, and knowing you had a small contribution in making that happen, it makes life all worth while! Life is about joy and happiness, and if I can add a little bit of that to the world, life is beautiful.
In three words: Creative, Empathetic, Positive

Kathy is a wonderful connector! She helps find the best people for events. We are so lucky to have her in the Cincinnati and Dayton areas.
Friend for Life
This is going to be a long one, but Kathy is SO worth it! Kathy and I first met during one of many rough times in my life. I had just lost two wedding venues (one closed and one gave our date away) and had just had arm surgery (which I was awake for and it didn't go great, so I was very traumatized at the time) and I was running late trying to parallel park my car with one arm. I remember Kathy calling and me crying on the phone saying how I was struggling to park and Kathy offered to park the car for me. The moment she whipped that car into its spot, I knew she was the one for me. I have numerous health issues and trying to explain my dream wedding and how those issues fit into it, as well as all the normal overwhelming aspects of wedding planning, seemed daunting to explain to a stranger, but Kathy really understood. She got it. Meeting Kathy was one of the best things that ever happened to me honestly. She not only got my wedding back on track, but became one of my closest friends and confidants. Kathy helped me find the most amazing vendors, from the photographer to the DJ, and averted so many crises, from helping find someone to rescue my dress the day before the wedding after the alterationist didn't finish it (but said he did, amongst other issues) to making the random "bubble guy" disappear (apparently people follow wedding parties now and literally stalk you to the church and then offer to blow bubbles for photos for money, but he wouldn't leave after we said no until Kathy stepped in) and everything in between. If you are the person that crazy, random stuff happens to all the time and you really need someone who is at the top of their game, I cannot recommend Kathy enough. If you are looking for someone who will be a friend and a confidant, a protector and manager and emotional support through a challenging part of your life, I recommend Kathy. If you are looking for someone who is a genuinely kind and happy person who will make you feel safe and better about yourself after every conversation you have with them, I recommend Kathy. Kathy, thank you, truly from the bottom of my heart, for making it Our Dream Day! We love you!
Made my Wedding Day Easy
Kathy was a great wedding planner! She knows the wedding scene in Cincinnati, where we got married, and once she got to know us, she knew the sorts of places that would be the best fit for our wedding. It's like having your friend help plan you... r wedding, if your friend has an in with everyone in the wedding industry. I highly recommend Kathy and Your Dream Day!!
