Amazing day with the best coordinator!

Lydia was the best at helping for the day of and even letting me connect with her leading up to the day of my wedding. She took care of everything and I had little to no stress thanks to her. She made sure everyone and everything was in the right place at the right time and we couldn’t have had a more perfect day without her. 100/10 recommend using Dawn til Dusk!

No brainer- go with them.

Lydia is the freaking best! We felt we were in great hands with her and she didn't miss a beat. So on top of it and made sure the wedding went as planned, which allowed us to enjoy our guests and wedding overall.

She was in communication with us on the big stuff and handled the small things on her own, so we could have a good time the day of our wedding. You cannot go wrong with Dawn til Dusk and we are so happy we chose them! Thank you Lydia- you made our day!
