About

Dunn Wedding Design and Event Planning is based in Portsmouth RI, and specializes in Newport RI weddings. It is comprised of Jocelyn and Jeff Dunn, ( although my husband is a silent partner- with the occasional opinion.) We offer Complete Planning for brides who want it all without compromise, Partial Planning for those brides who have a few vendors booked but are "stuck" somewhere in the process, and Day of Wedding Coordination, for the bride who loves to plan, but doesn't want to direct her own wedding.

Whether you are picturing an elegant ballroom with gilded mirrors and sparkling chandeliers, or a tented affair with a chic lounge area, we can help bring your dream to a reality. For my destination brides, a Newport wedding means glamour, luxury and a beautiful seaside event. We have worked with many bride's long-distance to produce a day exactly to her specification and desire. When you walk into your reception for the first time as husband and wife, you will get goosebumps as your vision comes to life.

We have had the pleasure of working with over a dozen brides, partnering with other wedding professionals, and creating beautiful wedding days and lasting memories. Professionally, I have written articles for Bride and Groom Magazine, Newport Monthly's Engaged Magazine, and currently contribute monthly to Wedding Reports RI. com.

Jocelyn was the person that made my daughter's wedding perfect in every way possible. We were planning it from Texas, and I don't see how we would have been able to do it ourselves. Even if we had been able to manage it, it would not have been as beautiful, memorable, stress-free and economical. Jocelyn had contacts we would not have found ourselves, and the professionals she recommended were absolutely the best we could have imagined. These included the limousine, photographer, hair and makeup girls and DJ. She kept track of absolutely everything so that nothing was left undone and we were able to just enjoy the wedding. Personally, Jocelyn returned phone calls and emails promptly and was friendly and made all of the planning fun. She was truly a gift to our family.

Jocelyn was so helpful both in planning and making things run smoothly on the day. We did not have our wedding in a typical "wedding" venue so we had to rent everything and book all sorts of vendors. She was essential in helping with that and coordinating them on the day, taking a lot of stress off my hands!

Dunn Wedding Design & Event Planning was a saving grace for our wedding planning! In an effort to cut costs we took on quite a bit of the organizing on our own. We were having a beach wedding so we wanted it to be somewhat minimalist while having fun and looking great. We did our own invitations, decorating, centerpieces, beverages... The list goes on. This, in turn, created a lot of work for Jocelyn! I gave her the run down on how everything was supposed to look and play out and it did perfectly. There are so many minor details you don't even think about and she took care of all of them. JP & ceremony guitarist have their checks? Yup, Jocelyn's all over it. You've got the right decorative grasses in the right place right? Yep, she's all over it. For Pete's sake, are the centerpieces right? Is the orchid on the citrus slice floating in the coconut? Don't worry, she's got that too. I wasn't stressed about a single thing the whole day, not many brides can say that. The woman even brought us a drink while we were waiting for our introduction. Doesn't that say it all right there? ;) With her help our day was exactly how we'd hoped! I would strongly recommend her for any event.
