If I could give Dawn 6 stars, I would! She made my special day easy, low stress, and fun! My husband and I had a blast filling out her love story questions! She was funny, informative, and super, super helpful in finding our other vendors. Thank you Dawn!!

Dawn is absolutely bursting with energy and is honestly a breath of fresh air! She’s like a fountain of knowledge and really kept us on the right track. Leading up to our big day, ...
she went above and beyond with multiple phone calls and a delightful love story questionnaire! I felt so at ease knowing someone put in the effort to really get to know us. She wove together an unforgettable tale about our love, sprinkled with laughter and highlighted the best parts of who we are, both as individuals and as a couple. We even printed her speech and framed it in our home—it’s that special! She accommodated every single little unique detail we wanted in our ceremony! Dawn is truly a gem in her field. I’d recommend her to any couple planning their big day without hesitation. She’s not just affordable but incredibly professional too! Every conversation with her brings a smile, and she makes sure your day is nothing short of amazing! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being apart of our day and creating such a memorable ceremony! 🤍

Guys PLEASE do yourself a favor and save yourself the most embarrassing nightmare from happening on the most special day of your life. We met with Dawn 3 separate times, answering ...
all of questions to the “love story” she supposedly puts together. Fast forward to our wedding day and the love story she read OUT LOUD in front of 120 guests was NOT OURS!!!!!!!! Can you imagine how humiliating for us. She said “they met on tinder” and I looked at her DURING THE CEREMONY and said no we met at a bar…. Then she had to hand the microphone to my maid of honor who had to speak for her. She refunded us but we will never be able to get this moment back. Horrible horrible horrible. Also a lot of guests told us they weren’t able to hear us very loudly when reading our vows.

. The ceremony she created was personal, heartfelt, and so reflective of our relationship. Every word felt intentional and meaningful, and we received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful and unique it was. We are so grateful for her warmth, care, and professionalism. Truly amazing!

d her prepared options for vows and poems was so very helpful. She also scouted the location for the ceremony and protected it from unwanted intrusions. She also was able to video the ceremony so we could share with all our friends and family on the East Coast. We could not have been happier.

planning a wedding and bringing everything together into one day. Dawn is just such an amazing person! We all loved her at our ceremony. so caring and had the cutest set up at the top of Loveland pass. She made our day so much more special than I could have imagined! I would honestly just stop the search with her, I spoke to many and she is the one whom rightfully stood out. We could tell she loved what she was doing :) OH AND A PLUS SHE TOOK AMAZING PICTURES OF US!
