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! -

I cannot say enough good things about working with Lydia at Dawn til Dusk! She helped keep us on track and organized throughout the whole process, resulting in the most magical wedding day! She helped with any questions we had and was on top of it all. 100% recommend working with her and the team! -

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! -

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!!! -

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. -

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! -

We hired Lydia for day-of coordination for our outdoor wedding and also purchased extra hourly planning sessions to make sure she was familiar with all the details in advance. While a few things went smoothly, overall our experience did not meet expectations.
During our calls, we emphasized that our biggest need was help with set up and tear down. We even brought 15–20 friends and family to support, hoping Lydia would take a leadership role in coordinating those resources. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. I personally ended up staying longer than planned, cleaning up trash instead of getting ready for my big day, while Lydia and her team were seen taking a break.
Positives:
- Lydia created a timeline (based on the details we provided)
- She decorated the tables
- She ensured our family photo frames were packed safely, which was important to us
Challenges We Experienced:
- Lack of clear leadership in organizing the volunteers we brought to help with set up
- Vendor coordination challenges did not feel actively managed
- Ceremony participants (ushers, flower girls, ring bearers) didn’t receive direction on where or when to be in place.
- Selective willingness to help when issues arose
- Tear down was incomplete, was coordinated and led by a guest, and trash was left behind despite hiring additional assistants to help specifically with trash and packing up.
- Did not experience the calm, friendly partnership and easy relationship between coordinator and wedding party one would hope for; if anything interactions made things more stressful.
Feedback Shared by Guests and Family:
- Friends helping set up shared the coordination team ate their breakfast food without asking and while everyone was actively working to set up.
- Multiple people shared that when they approached her with questions or problems, she often replied “not my job” or “I don’t know”.
-Trash was still visible on tables as guests were arriving for the ceremony and was cleaned up by a guest
- Guests noticed Lydia making multiple trips through the appetizers during cocktail hour and without having discussed food as a part of the contract.
- A guest shared that members of the coordination team cut ahead in the buffet line, which felt inappropriate since all guests had not yet been served; Though we intended to extend the invitation, it was not discussed.
- When buses were delayed, a guest said they asked Lydia for support in which she didn't seem willing to engage directly with drivers onsite and instead suggested calling the bus owner; therefore this guest spoke with drivers and easily resolved the situation on her own.
While Lydia’s assistants were friendly and had a positive attitude, we did not feel that Lydia herself demonstrated the level of professionalism, problem-solving, or communication we anticipated. Outdoor weddings do have unique challenges, but we still believe the basics of coordination , professionalism, and leadership should be present. Unfortunately, based on our experience, we cannot recommend this service.
