About Le Rêve Creations
A Shared Dream, Crafted Together
Le Rêve Creations is the heart work of husband-and-wife duo, Matthew and Heather Alonge, who believe that the most meaningful moments are made around a beautifully set table.
Matt, an engineer and lifelong Merchant Mariner, brings precision and craftsmanship to every custom woodworked board. Heather, a healthcare researcher and passionate food artist, designs each grazing experience with an eye for detail and a love for storytelling through flavor and form.
Together, they’ve hosted countless curated gatherings, each one anchored in warmth, intention, and the kind of hospitality that makes guests feel truly seen. What began as a shared love for hosting has grown into a dream: to bring people together through the art of the board.
Rooted in the Shenandoah Valley, Le Rêve Creations is more than a business—it’s a way of giving back to the community that inspires them. Whether through local collaborations, workshops, or handcrafted offerings, Matt and Heather are committed to creating experiences that feel personal, memorable, and just a little magical.

Engineer • Merchant Mariner • WoodworkerWith a career spent navigating the seas as a Merchant Mariner, Matt brings precision, patience, and craftsmanship to every board he creates. His passion for woodworking is evident in each custom piece, designed not just to serve, but to be cherished.
“There’s something grounding about shaping wood with your hands. Each board I make is meant to hold more than food—it’s meant to hold stories.” – Matt
A Dream Anchored in Togetherness
With Matt often away at sea for long stretches, the dream of being together—of celebrating life around the table with their daughters—became a powerful anchor for both of them. Le Rêve Creations was born from that dream: a desire to create moments of connection, warmth, and beauty that bring people closer, no matter the distance.
Today, Matt and Heather pour that same intention into every board, every workshop, and every event. Their dream is to help others experience the joy of gathering, the magic of shared meals, and the comfort of being truly present with one another.
