Pick Dawn as your wedding coordinator - she's incredible!!!

Dawn went above and beyond to make our wedding day absolutely seamless and perfect. She was so organized, communicative, and patient throughout the entire process. I am a type A perfectionist who truly hates letting someone else take charge and ownership, but with Dawn, I knew I was in good hands from the very beginning. She cared about our wedding as if it was her own, and we know that the wedding wouldn't have gone as smoothly without her direction and organization. Everything was perfectly timed, and all our guests really felt at ease because of all the planning that Dawn did to ensure our timeline had the guest experience in mind. I'm not someone who rights reviews, but I had to share my experience with working with Dawn so other brides would feel encouraged to use her! She's a class act and will make your wedding a dream!!

Best decision ever!

I really can't express how much I appreciated having Dawn by my side through the planning and execution of my wedding. Dawn is incredibly calm, poised, professional, detail oriented and fun (which is very important ;))! I used to be a former event manager myself and was very concerned that I wouldn't be able to let-go of being "in the details" but almost immediately I felt so comfortable and confident in Dawn's abilities that I was really able to turn things over and let her do what she does best! 
You cannot go wrong with choosing to work with Dawn to plan your special day. She is worth every penny and SO much more! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dawn!

Organized, Kind, and the best to work with!

Dawn is the best! She was there for us from the minute we started working together. It didn't matter if it was a Sunday afternoon when we couldn't figure out tables or 11pm the night before the wedding when we needed assurance that all was okay. Dawn was present and welcoming. Her services proved to be essential both in terms of helping us with things we could never know were important for the big day (who knew vendor wedding insurance was kind of critical to have) to all of the little things we inevitably forgot about like table numbers and bathroom baskets. The day of the wedding went very smoothly, and any issues were proactively handled by Dawn and her assistant Chris before the issues could reach us. We are so happy to have worked with Dawn and would recommend her to anyone.

Best Decision for our Wedding

Hiring Dawn as our wedding planner was the best decision we could have made. We knew that it was going to be difficult for us to plan on our own due to us living out of state. Throw in an unforeseeable pandemic forcing us to postpone and I'm not sure how we would have managed if we we didn't have help. Dawn was absolutely invaluable. She basically handled everything with all of our vendors from making sure they all had the proper paperwork/insurance to organizing where everyone was supposed to be day-of. When the pandemic changed all of our plans, she found us a new date and made sure all of our vendors were available. She stayed up to date with all of the NYC regulations and made sure we were aware of what needed to be done to have a successful wedding. And we did. It was everything we hoped it would be.

Creative, Stylish, + Artsy Wonder Woman Planner

I've been lucky enough to work with Dawn from Skylar Arden Events on two Brooklyn weddings that were equal parts stylish, fun, organized, and showcased the couples' personalities in beautifully meaningful ways.

Dawn cares A LOT about what each couple wants for their wedding day! Are you having an interfaith wedding? Dawn's got you covered. Want a fun, laid back wedding that's Instagrammable AF? Dawn can do it! Want to actually enjoy your wedding day instead of worrying about whatever's next? Dawn's got your back!

No detail is too small! She will work within your budget, guide you to stay true to your vision, and work her creative, artsy Wonder Woman magic to make your wedding day way better than you originally imagined. So grateful for this powerhouse human! You will be too!

Eliminated our worries!

Dawn, is a perfect match for any couple looking to eliminate the worries of planning and designing a wedding. We’re pretty sure that like most couples, there’s always a bit of worries and doubt when planning your dream day. Dawn’s attentiveness, responsiveness, and care for her clients’ best interest made our special day free of worries that made it a day for us to remember.

Thank you Dawn!

Creative and organized the perfect package

We hired Dawn and Co after a referral from a dear friend. She was the best investment for our wedding day. We opted in for her full service package since both of our careers are really demanding. She organized monthly touch bases, gave stellar vendor recommendations without being pushy and honestly became a friend to us. I hope to stay in touch with her because I miss her already! One of the things I found different about her was her creative edge. She has a background in design and fashion so we ended up adding on design and styling services the last few months leading up to our wedding date. She really turned it out and I was in tears by all of the well thought our personal touches. Thank you for being the perfect addition.

Couldn’t have done it without her!

I was hesitant to hire a planner at all. I love planning and I was up for the challenge. But after a month of doing everything on my own I was overwhelmed. My full time job left me zero time and I knew I needed real outside help. I came across Dawns website after searching for NY planners. Right off the bat she put me at ease. We ended up biting the bullet and investing in full planning. She allowed us to be as involved as possible but also took over as needed all while looping us in. Our wedding was beautiful and stress free. Thank you so much Dawn!

Very rarely do we work with another vendor that does such amazing work that we have to write a review, working with Dawn was such an amazing and fun experience. She has such a creative vision and thinks completely outside the box, offering clients a completely unique event. She was incredibly outgoing and fun, organized and had the most amazing attention to detail. We cannot wait to work with you again!!!!!!!!!
