The best decision ever!

Hiring Cassidy was the absolute best decision that we made when it came to our wedding. We opted for partial planning, and that was the perfect level to help us organize our vision, but also allow her the flexibility to do her magic. We were able to plan and hold our wedding within four months with the help of Cassidy, which is definitely not easy to do. She brought our vision to life and was the kindest most calming person to work with. The day of went so smoothly and we cannot thank her and her team enough! Cassidy also did our flowers (Rita’s Roses) and she did an incredible job with those as well. If you are thinking about hiring Cassidy, do it!! She is incredible.

Dusk to Dawn Events

Cassidy and her team were amazing in planning the details that we needed for our wedding. Dana was on top of everything, especially those last couple of months, even with unknown and changes. Can’t even imagine what we would’ve done without them!

Highly Recommend Dusk to Dawn Events

We truly cannot recommend Dusk to Dawn Events enough. From our very first conversation, we felt like we had someone in our corner who genuinely cared about making our wedding day everything we hoped it would be.

Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Cassidy and her team made the entire process feel organized, manageable, and even fun. They thought through every detail, answered every question with patience, and always made us feel like a priority. Their communication was incredible, and we always knew exactly what to expect.

On our wedding day, everything ran seamlessly. We never had to worry about vendors, timelines, family logistics, or unexpected issues because the Dusk to Dawn team handled it all behind the scenes. They allowed us to be fully present and actually enjoy our wedding instead of managing it.

What impressed us most was how calm, kind, and professional the entire team was. They anticipated needs before we even realized them, kept everything on schedule without making the day feel rushed, and treated our family and vendors with so much respect.

If you're looking for a wedding planner who is organized, experienced, creative, and genuinely invested in giving you an incredible experience, Dusk to Dawn Events is the team to hire. We are so grateful we chose them and would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding.

Dusk to Dawn Events is a must to work with!

We went into planning our wedding thinking we could get by without a planner. Thank the good Lord my mother in law found Dusk to Dawn Events.
Dana was our coordinator and an ABSOLUTE GODSEND! She made sure we were on track and not forgetting anything, every step of the way, handled rounding up the wedding party and guests and every one and everything in between with such grace and the perfect amount of (much needed) authority. If not for her, what ended up being the most amazing day of my life, would have been a hectic, stress filled, not nearly as enjoyable day.
We cannot say thank you enough for how amazing Dana was and we know everyone who works with her in the future will feel the same!

Dusk to Dawn Events is GREAT

Working with Cassidy and the Dusk to Dawn Events team was truly such a fantastic experience. From start to finish, everything felt incredibly thoughtful, organized, and seamless. As a photographer, having a planning team that keeps the day flowing so smoothly makes all the difference, and Cassidy absolutely delivered.

Their professionalism, attention to detail, and calm presence created such a wonderful environment not only for the couple, but for every vendor involved. You can genuinely feel how much care and heart goes into what they do.

I loved working alongside this team and would absolutely be thrilled to do it again. Highly recommend Dusk to Dawn Events to any couple looking for a planner who will make their day feel beautifully effortless.

Worth every penny!

Cassidy and her team were absolutely amazing!! We got married on 12/5 and we could not have done it without her. She helped the day run smoothly and helped us to relax and enjoy the day! I’d recommend her to anyone!

organized, professional, and approachable

Dusk to Dawn Events made us feel completely taken care of from start to finish. They are organized, professional, and approachable, which turned planning into something enjoyable instead of stressful. On our wedding day we actually forgot to bring the rings out of the bridal suite, but before we even had a chance to panic the team had already taken care of it and had them waiting at the altar right on time. We didn’t even realize how close we came to a hiccup until afterward, which shows how seamless they made everything feel. Our guests kept telling us how smooth and beautiful the day was, and we know it was all thanks to their hard work behind the scenes.

We hired Dusk to Dawn Events for full service planning and are so glad we did. From the start, they kept us organized and made what could have been a stressful process feel fun and exciting. They connected us with incredible vendors, offered thoughtful suggestions, and always listened to what was most important to us. On the wedding day, we didn’t have to think twice about anything because they had every detail handled. Our guests kept commenting on how seamless and beautiful everything was. It truly felt like the wedding we had always envisioned, brought to life by a team that genuinely cared.
