Dawn was wonderful to work with and easy to communicate with from the start. She is obviously experienced with officiating and helped us focus on planning what should be the most important part of a wedding - the ceremony - by sending us helpful planning resources. Unfortunately, all our plans fell through due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As I contacted all my vendors, Dawn was really the only one to reach out with alternative suggestions that would work with our tight timeline. Because of that, we decided to go ahead and have a mini-ceremony, which was the perfect way to remind us of the important things in life. I most appreciated her understanding, flexibility and communication. Thank you, Dawn!

Covid-19 wedding
Dawn married us when we decided to elope during the Covid-19 shut down, and she was fantastic! She could not have been more socially responsible, professional and accommodating. Even though the ceremony might have been a little out of the ordinary (under the circumstances), it was still romantic and meaningful.

Amazing Day
Dawn was an amazing officiant on our special day! She was easy to get in contact with and very flexible with time for meeting since both our work schedules were crazy at the time of planning. Dawn made it easy for us to customize our wedding ceremony and was always there with and idea or suggestion when we weren’t sure what to be doing (which was often!). Our guests were blown away by the ceremony and were talking about it throughout the night. I would highly recommend Dawn and Ceremonies of Celebration for any style of ceremony you are looking to have!
