Meet Dawn - Founder & Lead Planner

Hi, I’m Dawn, the owner and operator of Event by Dawn. I’m a proud wife and mother to two wonderful children, and I’ve always had a deep love for hospitality and serving others. I’m down-to-earth, organized, communicative and I truly enjoy making the planning process fun! When I’m not planning weddings, I love gardening, camping with my family and I’m a huge animal lover. I’m also active in my community, often volunteering at my kids' school, which brings me so much joy. Turning my passion for taking care of others into a career led me to create Event by Dawn, where I help couples bring their dream weddings to life. With a background in restaurant management, bookkeeping, and photography, I bring a keen attention to detail that ensures your event is flawless. I’m dedicated to making your wedding day everything you’ve envisioned, so you can relax and enjoy the celebration knowing a professional is handling all the final details. I look forward to meeting you and helping you create the event of your dreams!
