Event Coordination

Cassidy at DTD helped make my wedding day as perfect as it could be. We couldn't be more grateful! We asked Cassidy to be our day of coordinator. We had several meetings ahead of the wedding itself, where she helped with coordination between all the vendors. She also helped us with some planning tools, which made keeping track of all the guests much easier and helped us visualize how everything would be laid out. Cassidy, thank you so much for all the help and support. We couldn't have had such a wonderful day without you!

Cassidy Dawn

Owner

Cassidy loves weddings so much she planned hers twice (thanks, COVID!) A self-proclaimed wedding enthusiast, Cassidy is waiting on standby to learn more about you and your wedding. She truly enjoys every moment of wedding planning and coordinating, and her favorite part of the wedding day is greeting the couple as they walk back up the aisle after being proclaimed officially Mr(s) + Mr(s) _________! In her free time, Cassidy loves spending time with her husband, son, and Pitbull "puppy". They love a lazy day on a tube floating up a river, or hosting their family and friends for dinner.

Highlighted review.

Hiring Cassidy was the absolute best decision that we made when it came to our wedding. We opted for partial planning, and that was the perfect level to help us organize our vision...

, but also allow her the flexibility to do her magic. We were able to plan and hold our wedding within four months with the help of Cassidy, which is definitely not easy to do. She brought our vision to life and was the kindest most calming person to work with. The day of went so smoothly and we cannot thank her and her team enough! Cassidy also did our flowers (Rita’s Roses) and she did an incredible job with those as well. If you are thinking about hiring Cassidy, do it!! She is incredible.

verything we hoped it would be. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Cassidy and her team made the entire process feel organized, manageable, and even fun. They thought through every detail, answered every question with patience, and always made us feel like a priority. Their communication was incredible, and we always knew exactly what to expect. On our wedding day, everything ran seamlessly. We never had to worry about vendors, timelines, family logistics, or unexpected issues because the Dusk to Dawn team handled it all behind the scenes. They allowed us to be fully present and actually enjoy our wedding instead of managing it. What impressed us most was how calm, kind, and professional the entire team was. They anticipated needs before we even realized them, kept everything on schedule without making the day feel rushed, and treated our family and vendors with so much respect. If you're looking for a wedding planner who is organized, experienced, creative, and genuinely invested in giving you an incredible experience, Dusk to Dawn Events is the team to hire. We are so grateful we chose them and would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding.

nstead of stressful. On our wedding day we actually forgot to bring the rings out of the bridal suite, but before we even had a chance to panic the team had already taken care of it and had them waiting at the altar right on time. We didn’t even realize how close we came to a hiccup until afterward, which shows how seamless they made everything feel. Our guests kept telling us how smooth and beautiful the day was, and we know it was all thanks to their hard work behind the scenes.

We were especially impressed by the inventory of rentals available—having the champagne wall, elegant lounge set, and beautiful candles added such a special touch to our decor without us having to stress about logistics. The seating chart Cassidy designed was not only functional but also a lovely part of our decor. Our wedding felt both laid-back and classic, just as we envisioned. We truly appreciated Cassidy’s attention to detail and her ability to bring our ideas to life. If you’re looking for a planner who will make your dream wedding a reality, look no further!

10 stars, not just five! From the moment we met Cassidy, it was clear that she knew her stuff.

saved my sanity. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Cassidy's expertise made the process smooth and enjoyable. One of the standout features of working with Cassidy is that she’s not just a planner; she’s also an incredible florist! Having my wedding planner also handle the floral design made creating my vision so much easier. She seamlessly integrated the two aspects, ensuring everything—from the ceremony decor to the reception arrangements—flowed beautifully together. Cassidy’s creativity and attention to detail truly set her apart. She listened to my ideas and transformed them into a stunning reality, all while keeping me organized and on track. Her calm demeanor and reassuring presence made me feel supported every step of the way.

idy went above and beyond with everything. When I started off with my wedding planning, all I had was a Pinterest board and the ideas in my head. Cassidy took my ideas and added such amazing expertise to create a final decor design for my wedding that I absolutely loved. Cassidy was extremely attentive, responsive, and caring throughout every step of the process. She had all of the wedding designs easily accessible on her planning website, and walked us through every single detail. We hardly ever had any feedback because she executed our needs and wants so perfectly during planning. Throughout the planning process, Cassidy offered many brilliant suggestions for details or aspects of the wedding design that we didn't know how to answer. For the month-of wedding coordination, Cassidy was a pro at working with our vendors and ensuring that any final questions or requests I had were answered and taken care of. The day of my wedding was absolutely perfect thanks to Cassidy and her team! She arrived to our venue so early to personally decorate and coordinate with everyone. I had put my full trust in Cassidy when it came to the final venue set-up and decorations. I was in awe when I showed up to the venue and saw how beautiful everything was. Following venue set-up, she was in full wedding coordinator mode and ensured our entire day went smoothly. I never felt stressed or overwhelmed because Cassidy made sure that everything was handled and kept us on schedule in the most seamless way. Cassidy always had a smile on her face and I felt so relaxed. Everyone at my wedding expressed how beautiful it was and how much fun they had and I have Dusk to Dawn Events to thank for that! I will be hiring Cassidy again for events that I have in the future and will be recommending her to anyone and everyone!

and navigated our slightly-opinionated families with ease and grace while staying professional. Her priority is to the bride and groom and she made sure we had a few moments with one another to breathe and decompress. She made sure we were fed and hydrated. She kept us on schedule while being kind and patient. She coordinated with our photographers, DJ, caterer, cake delivery, and the point people for our venue (a historic house). I had no worries, knowing she was at the helm of the ship, guiding our almost 100 guests through the night. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to enjoy their wedding day as much as possible.
