Dawn is essential

Dawn was the key to our wedding day running so smoothly. She is so friendly and kind, it felt like we had known her forever. Her knowledge base is massive with event coordination. She has a ton of knowledge regarding our specific venue (Waterfall Lodge) that was immensely helpful throughout the planning process. Dawn was able to guide us through the process of wedding planning, reminding us of things we would have forgotten and makingt suggestions that helped with a very smooth process. On the wedding day, Dawn ensured it ran so smoothly that we got to fully enjoy the day with no worries, something that is difficult for me as a Type A planning personality. I would not only recommend her but say she is ESSENTIAL especially for a wedding at Waterfall Lodge.

In Dawn We Trust!

After several so-so calls with potential wedding coordinators, the moment we spoke to Dawn, we could tell she was extremely experienced and would be advocates for us throughout the wedding process and probably the most expensive day of our lives. She walked us through all the details during our meetings, offered guidance when we had no reference points to what other couples have done, and took care of everything the day of. I can confidently say our wedding day was stress-free because of how Dawn just took care of business without a peep! She offered so many great ideas to our timeline to make everything go smoothly and have the run of show mood flow seamlessly into the next. Our wedding party was also very impressed with Dawn's clear directions and leadership during our wedding rehearsal. I would highly recommend Dawn for all your wedding coordination/planning needs in Santa Cruz County!

Couldn't have asked for better!

Dawn was an amazing help for our wedding! She is very knowledgeable about coordinating such an event and her list of vendors were incredible. The way the team worked together was flawless and without her help, the wedding wouldn't have been so magical. She is quick to respond, thorough, attentive to detail, and very kind, despite my constant emails for questions haha. 10/10 would recommend her and her list of vendors! Thanks x a million, Dawn!
