Mother of the bride

I hired Dawn to help with my daughter’s wedding after doing much of the planning on our own. What a godsend! She took over and literally relieved 99% of the stress. She is delightful to work with, she listened to our ideas and steered us in the right direction. I learned that you don’t know what you don’t know! But Dawn knew everything, answered every question, and helped to make my daughters day the best ever. She is extremely organized and she and her team made for a truly perfect event.
