Dreammaker International

Gregory Patrick is the founder and CEO of Dreammaker International which plans experiences—not just a trip.

A client’s pre-set notions about destination mean nothing to Patrick. He wants to know who you are. What are your passions? What do you want to accomplish? What do you want to happen to your body? What do you want to have impact your mind? The destination is irrelevant. Patrick wants to know how to touch your soul.

Born in Las Vegas in 1963, Patrick was inspired early on by the showmanship of legendary entertainers like Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. The family moved to England where he attended an elite boarding school and was assimilated into British culture in the old tradition. He was also exposed to other cultures during trips throughout Europe. He left school and started his first business at the age of 15. Too young to drive, Patrick’s father drove him from location to location to get contracts for his sales business. Eventually, Patrick set off on his own and landed in Houston.

Whether it’s designing the ultimate family reunion at an Irish castle for the CEO of Nasdaq, or giving the first Americans ever the privilege of a cultural exchange with the descendants of Shaka Zulu in South Africa, each experience is firmly imprinted with Patrick’s magic. Patrick’s “designs” have included dinners with prime ministers and European royalty, arranging an all night party with Sting and his band, coordinating a backstage meeting with Bono from U2 and even staging an actual robbery at gunpoint in front of Bloomingdale’s in New York. A particularly memorable project was a time travel fantasy to the year 1274 where clients were immersed in a simulation of life and the realities of the various socio-economic levels that existed during that time.
