    No brainer- go with them.

    Lydia is the freaking best! We felt we were in great hands with her and she didn't miss a beat. So on top of it and made sure the wedding went as planned, which allowed us to enjoy our guests and wedding overall.

    She was in communication with us on the big stuff and handled the small things on her own, so we could have a good time the day of our wedding. You cannot go wrong with Dawn til Dusk and we are so happy we chose them! Thank you Lydia- you made our day!

    Exceptional customer service and value!

    My overall experience with Samantha has been wonderful. She has gone above and beyond throughout the entire planning process and I couldn’t be more thankful for her insight and support. She has extensive knowledge in event planning and the wedding industry overall, which has proved essential especially during a pandemic. She has the organizational tools/resources to make sure nothing gets missed and overall has a passion for customer service. Above all, Sam is flexible and so easy to work with – she will cater to your needs and ensure your day runs smoothly. 10/10 recommend Dawn ‘til Dusk!

    Dawn 'til Dusk's reply:

    It makes my heart overjoyed to hear “above and beyond”! That is something I strive to do at every wedding. I’m glad to hear I exceeded your expectations 😊

    Amazing wedding day coordinator!

    Dawn til Dusk was amazing! They helped so much with our day of wedding coordinating. I loved that they had price and time options that fit within our budget.

    Lydia helped with our day of coordinating and came for an hour of our rehearsal as well. She was so nice, timely, professional and helped with anything and everything we needed. She had suggestions for us when we weren't sure of anything and she was well prepared.

    We had a meeting before the wedding to nail down our timeline and that was so helpful! She was always quick to respond if I had questions. I would 100% recommend Dawn til Dusk for help with your wedding. You won't be disappointed!

    Dawn ‘til Dusk was amazing!!!

    Sam & Sherry were incredible to work with!! After deciding to move states prior to my wedding, I knew I needed help with vendor coordination and final checklists for our wedding day, so no small detail would be forgotten. The Dawn ‘til Dusk team is everything we needed and more for our day of coordination! They helped with everything from finalizing all timelines to executing on the day of to make our dream wedding day come to life. Words can not express how thankful I am for their hard work behind the scenes, no small detail went unnoticed. My family continues to rave about how sweet and helpful Sherry was the entire day! I HIGHLY recommend hiring this team, you will not regret it!

    Dawn 'til Dusk's reply:

    You are too sweet :) You were so fun to work with! Vendor coordination is definitely one of the trickier aspects of wedding planning.

    Dawn to Dusk - June 2022 Wedding

    We hired Dawn to Dusk for our wedding earlier this June. When we first started wedding planning I did not think that we had enough money in the budget to accommodate a wedding coordinator. As I got into planning I quickly realized how many pieces have to come together the day of the wedding to make the day happen....and it was stressing me out! Not only was Dawn to Dusk very affordable but signing their contract was one of the most stress reducing things I did in the planning process. We hired them for the rehearsal dinner and for about 6 hours of wedding day coverage.

    The Dawn to Dusk team helped us with the timeline and brought up good things to consider (like views from assigned seats). Their communication amongst staff was also great as our initial Dawn to Dusk team member that was going to help us with rehearsal and the wedding fell sick a day before. They quickly shifted and adjusted with few questions to us and I never once felt like it wasn't going to run smoothly with the switch.

    The day before the wedding we hired them for the rehearsal dinner which was SUPER helpful as they helped keep everyone in check so we could get the "not fun" part of the rehearsal out of the way. The day of the wedding I don't know everything they did for us because everything ran so smoothly, but know they helped set up centerpieces, light candles, direct vendors, refreshed the cake table, helped move guests through the guestbook/polaroid line, and helped keep the timeline in check. The only thing we wish we would have done differently was listen to their recommendation to keep them through all of the activities (speeches, first dances, etc.) because after they left there wasn't as much of a true leader of the timeline. Even my now-husband said hiring the Dawn to Dusk teams was one of the best decisions of the wedding planning process because he saw the value in having a true leader throughout the day witnessing their skills!

    Dawn 'til Dusk's reply:

    Thank you so much, Shannon! Sicknesses definitely happen, but I'm glad we were able to create a seamless transition for you!

    My Dream Wedding Planner!!!

    I could not have imagined a better person to help my dream wedding come to fruition than Sam! She was so kind and wonderful to work with, and so flexible with our budget. I had a horrible cold the weekend of my wedding, and could not have pulled off my wedding day without Sam. Not only did she help everything come together, but she made me feel so sane/calm so I could truly just enjoy the day. I couldn't recommend her more highly! P.S. I live in Eastern Iowa and her travel fees are WELL worth it and very affordable to have her come over from DSM!!!! Thank you, Sam, for the most magical wedding day! We couldn't have done it without you!

    Dawn 'til Dusk's reply:

    Stop, I'm blushing! I felt awful that you weren't feeling well on your big day, but I'm SO glad I was there to help so you could relax as much as you could before the important parts :)

    Would recommend them to everyone!!

    Samantha, Lydia, and Claire were amazing in helping us plan our wedding! The timeline they make is so helpful and they ask so many questions I would have never thought of. The day of, they handle all the little details and help keep you on schedule, track down missing family members, deal with your vendors, and so much more. I didn't have to worry about a thing!

    My husband from the beginning when I first hired the team, thought that having a day of coordinator was unnecessary. But even he admitted at the wedding that they were very helpful and did an amazing job keeping everything running smoothly, he did say he was even glad we hired them!

    Dawn 'til Dusk's reply:

    Thank you so much, Emma! Winning over curious husbands is my specialty haha.. I'm so thrilled with how your day turned out and am glad to hear you are as well.

    Wedding Day Peace of Mind

    Hiring Sam to to assist us with day of coordination was one of the best investments we made for our special day. I was at ease knowing that I my vendors, wedding party, and guests had a point person if they had questions or needed direction. Sam adapted to the continuous changes in weather and was always thinking ahead as to how this may affect the location and set up of our ceremony/reception. Sam's communication and professionalism throughout our day was exceptional and allowed us to relax and enjoy the moments. I would highly encourage anyone to enlist the services of Dawn 'til
    Dusk. Sam's experience and expertise will ensure your day goes smoothly!

    Dawn 'til Dusk's reply:

    Oh my goodness, Natalie. You had so many factors working against you that day, but we persisted and the day turned out tremendously! I am pushing for more couples to do brunch weddings because of yours 😅

    Smooth sailing

    I am so glad we hired Sam as our day-of- coordinator for our wedding 10/9/2021. Leading up to the wedding she helped us create a timeline and was available to ask any questions. She was so helpful at rehearsal, making sure we knew how the ceremony should proceed (we had a friend as an officiant so having someone there with experience was great). The day of the wedding it was such a relief to know that Sam was handling deliveries and vendors at the venue while the wedding party/family was off taking photos. Sam made sure everyone was where they needed to be for the ceremony and helped release tables for dinner at the reception. Overall she put my mind at ease for the wedding and I was able to relax (as much as a bride can relax) and enjoy our special day. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator.

    I am overjoyed to hear that I eased the stress of your day! Wedding days are chaotic enough… if I can alleviate all the stress for you, than I have done my job!

    10/10 Recommend

    Samantha and Claire made all the difference in my day. I didn't need a full package - I just needed a few hours and help getting things set up. I also was trying to pull a prank on my now husband, and I needed help pulling it off! Dawn Til Dusk did an amazing job at all of it and made my day so wonderful.

    Dawn 'til Dusk's reply:

    When brides are as organized as you, hourly packages are the way to go! I am so glad we could ease the stress, and make your day go the way you envisioned it.

    Best Decision Ever

    Sam helped us so much. We hired her for weekend coordination and it was easily one of the best decisions we made. She was so hands on all weekend and helped with the smallest and largest tasks. She went above and beyond. If you are considering maybe hiring a weekend coordinator, hire Sam!!!

    Dawn 'til Dusk's reply:

    Thank you so much! You and Daniel were radiating love all day and coordinating your wedding was a blast!

    Vendor to Vendor review

    I am a wedding DJ and I had the honor of working with Sam from Dawn til Dusk this past weekend. It was a pleasure working with her. She has a passion for weddings, as do I, and she made my job so much easier from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception, the day could not have went any smoother, thanks to her. She was very professional, easy to work with, knowledgeable and I highly recommend her for any party planning or day of coordinating. I look forward to working with her in the future.

    Dawn 'til Dusk's reply:

    Tim! Vendor reviews hold a special place in my heart. When you work in the wedding industry, reviews like this from other vendors are huge! I hope we can work together again very soon.

    Sam is hands down amazing

    I am so glad we booked with Dawn til Dusk! She is the easiest person to talk to! When I first met her it felt like we had been friends for years! She was always there when I had a question about anything! She was on top of everything and made sure we had everything in line to have the perfect wedding day! Thanks to Sam we had the best day ever and it ran so smoothly! I didn't have a worry in the world because I knew Sam was there making everything run perfectly! I would recommend her to anyone! If you need a day of coordinator, look no further and book with Sam ASAP!!

    Sam is a LIFESAVER!! 10/10 service!

    Sam. Was. Awesome!!! So personable yet so professional! She went with my husband and me to pick out the venue and thought of so many questions that never occurred to me! Thank god she was there (and thanks for her patience). She also worked day of our wedding, hand in hand with the venue staff, to make sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. All I know is when we started working with Sam, my stress levels went WAY down. Thank you thank you thank you!

    Dawn 'til Dusk's reply:

    I am so glad to hear your stress levels went down! That is the entire goal for me. You are amazing!

    Don't wait - hire Dawn 'til Dusk!

    I hired Dawn till Dusk for day-of coordination, and it was probably some of the best money I spent for my wedding. Our wedding coordinator, Lydia, was with us a few months prior to the event; advising us on vendor relations, timelines, and generally keeping us on track - so it was much more than day-of coordination. The timelines they deliver are amazing - had so many details we’d never even thought of.
    Lydia ensured my day as a bride was as stress-free as possible. I know we ran into a couple of issues with the room flip, but honestly, I wouldn’t have known, they made everything as seamless as possible for my husband and I. I would definitely recommend Dawn till Dusk for wedding coordination!
