Dawn was absolutely a joy to work with for my wedding! Everything turned out just as I imagined. Her attention to detail, positive attitude left a lasting impression with everyone that came in contact with her. All of our other vendors told us numerous times how amazing Dawn and her team were. She went above and beyond to make sure our special day was perfect. More...
