Hire Dawn as soon as possible!

Dawn was absolutely fantastic throughout the whole wedding planning process! She gave us guidance and recommendations when we asked for it, and was great at helping us incorporate our own ideas in as well. Day of could not have gone smoother because of her and her team. We didn't even know when things went wrong because to us, the whole thing was perfection. She even helped my sister/MOH surprise us with a gospel choir during her speech! I highly, highly recommend hiring Dawn as early as possible during your wedding planning - you won't regret it!

She's awesome!

Echoing my sister's review of Dawn. She's incredible! Dawn helped me pull off a surprise for my sister at her wedding, and was enthusiastic about helping make the wedding even more special for the couple. She was very responsive, provided great recommendations, and handled the execution of the surprise. You can tell she's a pro. Highly recommend!

I can't say enough about Dawn and her assistant Jordan. There is NO way we could have had the wedding of our dreams without the two of them. My only regret is that we didn't hire them sooner to help with more of the planning process!! Dawn was there for the entire rehearsal and helped organize everything that evening so the "Big Day" would go off without a glitch. Our wedding day was amazing, and we were actually able to ENJOY it because Dawn and Jordan were so attentive in every way. Jordan even took care of our puppy after the ceremony and dropped him off at Doggie Day Care for us! Dawn was extremely responsive to every email and phone call during the entire process, and seemed to be two steps ahead of us at every turn. As we look back on our wedding day, we can't thank Dawn and her team enough for making it one of the best days of our lives. We could not have done it without them!
