Who We Are

Brian Smiley

Event Artisan & Owner

It all started in 6th grade when he coordinated an event bringing in TV personality Montel Williams to speak to 10 area high schools at one countywide location, followed by a dance. There was no turning back—he had caught the event-planning bug.

After getting his marketing degree from Abilene Christian University, he did awesome things for Yellow Rose Touring & Special Events Company. From there, he moved on to planning events for GameWorks, working regionally for three years producing events on a supplier side. Drawing from the knowledge of working as both a planner and supplier, he started Dream Captured Event Design.

A self-motivated leader who thrives in high-pressure, rapidly-changing environments, Brian has a passion for providing creative and jaw-dropping results. With more than 16 years of event creation and management experience, he is an accomplished planning professional with a focus on corporate event execution and budget-management expertise.

Carole May

Director of Details

Even after 34 years in the travel and hospitality industry, Carole still wakes up each morning with a sense of excitement. She sees the industry like a never-ending puzzle, and she loves putting each piece in place to reveal amazing visions—to her, nothing could be more fun!

Her title is Director of Details and she takes that very seriously. With a background including travel agent, operations manager, hospitality sales executive, and site selection specialist, she is indeed ready to direct the details. It’s what she does best; keeping the details in line so that your special event is an amazing success and your dream is captured to the fullest extent.

Keith Westerman

Eventologist

After landing his first role in the event industry purely by happenstance, Keith has been planning events for two decades from various avenues of the industry.

Whether it has been sales and operations to décor and supplies, he has enjoyed exploring the many facets of the evolving field, and loves seeing it continue to grow.

When he is not creating colorful concepts for clients, he is practicing his alliteration. He is always happy to express his thought on a topic unless he is asked to put it in his bio.

“My company has worked with Dream Captured for the past several years for our annual marketing event. They are fantastic to work with, stay within our budget and always bring a new twist to this yearly event! From concept and design through execution, it was a seamless process that transforms a boring hotel space into an incredibly interactive and welcoming environment. This included a room flip in the middle of the conference that converted our conference area to an elegant reception and dining area for a spectacular awards dinner. Dream Captured is a one-stop shop for everything you need for a successful event!”
