    Amazing multicultural option!

    We value the culture of our backgrounds and Rev Dawn did it justice by providing excellent expertise on the matter, great to work with from drafting to final vows as well.

    Rev. Dawn's reply:

    Thank you so much, Hugo! Such a joy to work with you two, learn your beautiful story, and be a part of your sweet ceremony.

    Highly recommend for both couples therapy and officiating!

    We did 4 sessions with Rev. Dawn before getting married and could not recommend her services enough. She gave us easy to use tools to help us improve our communication and deepen our connection in our relationship. She also crafted our wedding ceremony and we received so many compliments about how beautiful our ceremony was from those that attended.

    Rev Dawn was amazing! We are soo glad that we chose her. A+++++

    We can't find the words to express how grateful we are to Rev Dawn for making our wedding ceremony an absolute dream. Her talent in crafting a ceremony that felt uniquely ours was pure magic.

    Rev Dawn wasn't just an officiant; she became a reassuring presence, calming our nerves and turning our excitement into pure joy. Her words felt like poetry in that special moment, capturing the essence of our love story in a way that felt deeply personal.

    From our first meeting to the moment we said "I do," Rev Dawn showed great attention to detail, making our day truly extraordinary.

    If you're searching for an officiant who not only creates a beautiful ceremony but also feels like a friend, look no further than Rev Dawn. Our wedding day was more special because of her, and we can't thank her enough for the memories that will last a lifetime!

    Incredible service that made the whole process fun and less stressful

    Working with Rev Dawn was incredible. She helped make the whole process easy it took a lot of the pressure and stress out of the weeks leading up to the ceremony. Her method for helping write vows made it easy and everyone was complimenting us after the ceremony. She helped guide us in structuring the ceremony and was able to accommodate our request for a bilingual ceremony. The overall experience exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend her services to anyone in a heartbeat!

    Wonderful Ceremony!

    We had the best ceremony thanks to Rev. Dawn! Everyone loved how emotional and unique our ceremony was, and it sounds like there was almost no dry eyes in the house. She helped curate a beautiful speech that was very personal and beautiful. We also took advantage of her pre-marital sessions, and we so appreciate that time and advice we got from it. Thank you for everything!

    Rev. Dawn's reply:

    Thank you so much, Lauren and Joey! It's been my honor getting to know you two and being a part of the day.

    Rev. Dawn is Amazing!

    Rev. Dawn was just amazing! She was very easily and enjoyable to work with, and flexible to meet our needs. Our wedding ceremony was so beautiful and unique, and it was everything I hoped it would be. We love that Rev. Dawn is open to working with people of all faith, as well as those who choose a non-religious ceremony. We loved that she has a sense of humor. Would highly recommend her Personal Package; it really helped us to share our story/vows at the ceremony in a beautiful way. We opted to do some premarital sessions with her as well, and we found those helpful for our relationship.

    Thoughtful and perfect ceremony!

    We are so thankful to have found Rev. Dawn! My husband and I aren't religious but some of our family is and we knew we wanted a wedding ceremony that still felt special and true to us. Rev. Dawn helped craft a truly special and perfect ceremony that was so quintessentially my husband and I. We had people coming up to us all night telling us specifically how special and beautiful our ceremony was. My godmother even said she wanted to get married to her husband again and use our ceremony as a blueprint! Truly so thoughtful and personal.

    We also opted to do a few premarital counseling sessions with Rev. Dawn prior to the wedding. While we felt like we already had a pretty good foundation, the tools that she gave us have already helped us and made us feel like we have the best start to our marriage!

    I cannot recommend Rev. Dawn and her services enough!

    Premarital and Couple Counseling

    We've been going to couples therapy with Rev. Dawn for over a year, and can honestly say that she has been an incredible and helpful resource for our relationship. She has an amazing ability to listen, understand our issues, and she always provides us with the best advice and strategies to help improve our communication and our relationship. She has a deep knowledge of psychology and couples dynamics that has really helped us understand each other better and learn how to work together. I highly recommend Rev. Dawn as a couples therapist!

    Very Special Interfaith Wedding

    We are so thankful that Reverend Dawn was a part of our very special day. We come from different religious backgrounds, and we searched for someone who would honor both with sincerity. Reverend Dawn brought a sensitivity and thoughtful approach to our ceremony that we believe is unmatched. She has a peaceful brightness about her that is both luminescent and enchanting. We had heard her voice from listening to a couple of her videos, and her voice is quietly compelling. She is a unique soulful character, and she skillfully guided us to craft a memorable and meaningful ceremony. We highly recommend her if you are interested in an officiant who will help you create a deeply meaningful ceremony that is also engaging, crisp and eloquent.

    The ceremony couldn't have been more perfect

    We can't even begin to express how incredible Reverand Dawn is. We chose Dawn because we wanted an officiant that would really focus on our love story and the love we share. She had us write love letters to each other without showing each other and incorporated them into the ceremony. It was fun getting to hear them for the first time at the altar. Along with the readings and vows, it brought a lot of smiles, laughter, and heartfelt tears not from just us but our family and friends. Even the venue owner who has hosted hundreds of weddings told us the ceremony was in her top 5. It couldn't have gone any more perfect.

    Also, Dawn is very responsive via email and scheduled calls. A couple months before the wedding we were going through a busy time and a death in the family and didn't respond until 2 weeks out from the wedding. She was so understanding and flexible despite her busy schedule and made it work. We are so grateful for Dawn and it's clear how passionate she is about officiating.

    Wonderful officiant and premarital counseling must-do!

    We enlisted Dawn in premarital counseling after seeing her officiate a good friend’s wedding and we couldn’t be happier with the decision. As an audience member of the ceremony she officiated, we were incredibly and moved by her ability to convey the couple’s story and love for one another. After the wedding, she was the highlight amongst our friend group for the positive energy and love that she brought to the ceremony. Several of us actually said, “we absolutely need her for our own wedding.” With that experience, my fiancé and I reached out to Dawn to officiate our own wedding and to guide us in premarital counseling. What I can say is that Dawn has lent us indispensable insight on how to navigate the hard days of a relationship—whether it be current or in the future. We can’t recommend her enough—it’s hard to see us embarking on this journey without going through some semblance of the exercises that Dawn has us run through in our sessions. I’m personally eternally grateful to Dawn for helping me understand what my partner needs better and for helping my partner do the same. Therapy, counseling, etc. can feel a little daunting or awkward to start at times but Dawn’s empathic demeanor and energy can make a lot of the unease in letting a stranger into your relationship completely dissipate. If you’re even slightly curious about any sort of premarital counseling or business coaching, I would strongly urge you to give call a Dawn for at least an initial consultation.

    More than I imagined

    We’ve worked with Rev. Dawn for our wedding, premarital counseling sessions, and our vow renewal ten years later. Her thoughtful and warm approach always put us at ease during moments of overwhelm and uncertainty. And her breadth of experience and wisdom has repeatedly helped us create the perfect ceremony that not only speaks to who we are as a couple but will also resonate as the vision for our partnership in the long term. If we could give ten stars we would!

    Amazing and helpful

    Reverend Dawn conducted our premarital counseling and will be officiating out wedding as well. Throughout the counseling, she gave us concrete ways to improve our relationship and communication style. Overall, Rev. Dawn was helpful, kind, and compassionate throughout our sessions. She has been very organized in her approach to officiating as well and has already taken stress off of both me and my fiancee. I have no hesitation in recommending her.

    Exactly right

    Dawn has the ability to focus and make you feel like the only couple she is working with. She asked so many great questions that we hadn't even thought of. We simply could not have done this without her invaluable input, insight, professionalism and positive energy!

    Such a great experience

    My husband and I had a small intimate wedding in the metro Atlanta area. We found Rev. Dawn through another venues recommended officiants list. So glad we did!! We had our first consultation with Rev. Dawn and it was great. She is a pleasure to work with, professional, and caring! She helped make our ceremony special by adding a few bilingual elements (Spanish) and religious aspects that we wanted included in our ceremony. I highly recommend Rev. Dawn!

    Rev Dawn is the best!

    My fiance and I were looking for someone who could officiate our wedding and also offered premarital counseling services. Our wedding planner recommended Rev Dawn and we were so glad she did! During our consultation call, we found out that Rev Dawn couldn't officiate our wedding because of a schedule conflict, but we were so taken by her kindness and intelligence that we went ahead with doing premarital counseling sessions with her. Her work with us has definitely made us better listeners to each other and helped to strengthen our relationship in the months leading up to our wedding in the most invaluable ways. Would highly recommend her services!

    Rev. Dawn is a godsend

    My wedding day was exceptional because of Rev. Dawn's guidance. Since she specializes in interfaith-intercultural marriages, my husband and I were able to incorporate both of our traditions during the ceremony and it was perfect. Rev. Dawn is graceful and a master at public speaking, but more importantly, she knows what she's doing and goes to great lengths to deliver. She asked questions (and had multiple solutions ready) to ceremony-planning details I hadn't even thought of—plus she's just an easy-going person, which can be important when you're stressed from wedding planning.

    Thank you Rev. Dawn for all of your wise words and blessings. You are truly a godsend! Our guests STILL rave about how beautiful our ceremony was.

    What a beautiful human

    I will never be able to thank Rev Dawn enough for creating a memory we will cherish forever. She so beautifully blended our two families and cultures together with a bilingual ceremony. She was always there if we had a question or concern - let alone traveled for our wedding. What a lovely human being to work with and I hope in the future our paths cross again

    Rev. Dawn's reply:

    Jessica and David,
    What an honor it was to be with you-- thank you so much for these beautiful words, and much happiness to you both. ¡Felicidades!
