History

Established in 2012.

Olivia Dream Weddings & Events was founded by Avril Hernandez. From her New York City base, Avril has helped her clients execute memorable and fun events ranging from intimate affairs of 30, to large scale events of 200+ guests.

Anchored by strengths in design, organization, and budgeting, Avril brings nearly a decade of experience to every project. Her work has spanned locations across the US, as well as the Caribbean.

She founded her company around a core belief — events that gather our family and friends are the milestones of our lives and should be seamlessly executed in order to honor such a role. Whether it be a wedding, birthday celebration, communion or bar mitzvah, she believes that each event is a thread that binds our lives from one moment to the next. They are the history that anchors our lives as we live forward.

Meet the Business Owner

Avril H.

Business Owner

Olivia Dream Weddings and Events was formed after giving birth to my son in 2010. I had received physical therapy for 3 ½ years after I developed a pubic symphysis separation while giving birth which led me to rethink my then current career choice. I had been planning parties and other celebrations for my friends and family over the years, but it was not until I left on maternity leave that I gave any serious thought to turning what I’d loved and done for the people that were closest to me for free into a tangible, thriving and successful business.

I earned a BA in Accounting from Brooklyn College, and attained my Wedding Planning Credentials from the New York Institute for Arts and Design (NYIAD). I am an active member of the Association of Bridal Consultants (ABC) and the National Association of Professional Women (NAPW). I am married, and the mother of three children.
