Meet your Dream Team
Island Dreams is a luxury wedding planning and design firm based on Martha's Vineyard, creating celebrations where thoughtful design and genuine hospitality go hand in hand.
We believe the best weddings aren't simply beautiful to look at. They feel effortless to experience, your guests are cared for, the details unfold seamlessly, and you have the freedom to be fully present for all of it.
Jamie Newhouse
Architect turned wedding planner. Islander by choice. Romantic at heart.
Before weddings, there was architecture.
Jamie earned her Master's in Architecture from Wentworth Institute of Technology, and that background still shapes the way she approaches every celebration Island Dreams creates.
She sees more than a beautiful setting. She considers how guests will move through a space, where they'll naturally gather, how each moment will transition into the next, and the countless details that make an experience feel effortless.
Jamie lives year-round in Edgartown with her husband, Brian, and their tiny dog, Charlie. When she's not planning weddings, you'll likely find her somewhere near the water or with a book in hand. She reads around 60 a year, will give almost anything a try, and has a particular weakness for a really good love story.
So perhaps weddings were inevitable. ♡
