Avila Dawn Events

Jevettra was amazing! Initially, I tried to do it all on my own until I realized that it was too overwhelming. I reached out to Jevettra after a Social Media friend referred her and I’m so glad that I did. She is so patient, prompt, professional and a pleasure to work with!!!

Words could not begin to express how thankful we are to have had Jevettra as our wedding planner and designer. She took my limited vision and created a day more beautiful and amazing than I could have even imagined. From the moment we began working with her she was such a calm sounding board with excellent ideas. Her personality both puts you at ease and gets you excited for the day she will create. Jevettra handled so much behind the scenes so that I didn't have to worry about the many small piece. When COVID hit, she quickly and honestly informed us of our options. Once we made the decision to postpone from April to July it took her less than 2 days to have every single vendor we hired moved to our new date. We even had one vendor unable to accommodate our date change and she found a great replacement within that same day. She took what could have been an incredibly stressful time and made it as seamless as possible. Leading up to the wedding weekend she took care of so much so we could just enjoy the moment. When we finally got to see the reception space we were absolutely blown away. She designed the most beautiful, classy, and incredible room I have ever seen. She also made our space "us" in so many small ways. We were so blessed to have a planner that worked so well not only with us as a couple but with every single vendor to make our day the best day possible. I would highly recommend you hire Jevettra for your event - you will not be disappointed and will probably end up with a great friend by the end.

They say when you are planning a wedding, to expect something to go wrong. That may be true for most, but if you have Jevettra on your team you can bank on your wedding being a picture of perfection! Working with Avila Dawn Events was the best decision we made during our wedding planning process. From our very first conversation, I knew she was someone that I could trust with our most important day...and she didn't disappoint! To simply say that she is an exceptional designer doesn’t quite capture her talent and skills. Not only did she bring to life the wedding of our dreams, she captured our vision (and more) with beauty, creativity, and style. She is the epitome of professionalism and was AMAZING to work with every step of the way. We will forever be grateful for her work.

Javettra was great to work with. She kept us on track and even helped us implement our last minute ideas. She was extremely responsive whenever we needed something and really reduced the amount of stress we would have been dealing with. I would recommend her to anyone. She is extremely professional, very responsive, and detail-oriented.

Jevettra was such a great Day-Of-Coordinator! She was so knowledgeable about Columbia vendors and the best vendors to work with in my area. She made sure our wedding day went smoothly and ran on time. She was always available to address any concerns I had prior to the wedding! I highly recommend her!

Let me just start by saying...Jevettra is AMAZING! My husband and I never had a wedding, so we decided to dive into having our dream wedding on our 6th wedding anniversary. She went above and beyond my expectations and I couldn’t be happier to have used her services. I started out with somewhat of a sketch of what I thought I wanted and Jevettra’s expertise pinpointed the vision and brought the details to fruition! Whether you need a little guidance or want to be completely hands off, Jevettra is definitely your girl.

Her professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to do ANYTHING it takes to make sure your special day flows smoothly without a hitch is unmatched. Thank you Avila Dawn Events for granting me the wedding of my dreams! ❤️Evan J.

Jevettra was very helpful to me in the wedding planning process. It's really difficult to keep up with all your vendors and meet all necessary timelines and She was very organized and remembered things for me that I didn't. It was important to her that I was happy and pleased with the services and was willing to do what was necessary to get things done, that said a lot about her character and the quality of service she aims to provide

Jevettra and her team are always a pleasure to work with. The attention to detail, organization skills and coordination goes unrivaled. It is an honor to work with her! If you are looking for the ultimate in wedding planning, choose Avila Dawn Events!

Our wedding experience with Avila Dawn events was fantastic. We live in Orlando, FL and got married in Columbia, SC so we desperately needed some assistance through the planning and design process. Jevettra Gardner was a true professional from beginning to end and we could not have been more happy with the end result. Our wedding went off without a hitch and no last minute stressful surprises. I would certainly recommend using their services to friends and family and especially if you are out of town. All of the vendors that were recommended from Florists, Catering, DJ, Cake, etc. where outstanding and really made our big day special. I can honestly say that our wedding day was perfect and something that we will never forget.

Amazing! Jevettra was phenomenal and made the entire planning process easy and worry free!
