Events and Wedding Planner in the Hudson Valley, New York and Beyond

Event planning with a curated, creative approach unique to each client.

Let’s make your event cohesive, stress free and designed based on your vision. Our clients can be confident that each vendor is handpicked based on taste, personality and a reflection of how you want your day to look.

We design events that are chic, fun and a narrative of your vision. A perfect blend of organization and creative intuition.

We hired Dawn as event support for our nonprofit’s annual gala this past Spring (standing cocktail reception, 300+ guests, celeb presence). During planning, she was meticulously organized, detail-oriented, and efficient. Onsite, even during high-stress moments, she remains calm, focused, and helps to keep the event flowing smoothly. Dawn has an exceptional eye for design (e.g. invite design, florals, decor), and helps incorporates your personal aesthetics/brand into the event design. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for a wedding or other event!

Event Producer

Hi I’m Dawn . With a background in the arts I specialize in creating events in the Hudson Valley and beyond that are special to each client. I take the time from our initial first call to onboarding to get to know who you are as an individual. My goal is to make your event cohesive, stress free and designed based on your vision. Our clients can be confident that each vendor is handpicked based on taste, personality and a reflection of how you want your day to look. You will never be discriminated based on religious or ethnic background and all love is supported from the LGBTQIA+ community.

Dawn was simply a wonderful person to have in our corner during the planning (and happening!) of our wedding. The lead-up and planning process were highly organized, clear, and also adaptable to our needs. We were across the country from her and our venue, which could’ve made things difficult, but Dawn was always prompt and communicative. She was familiar with our venue, recommended excellent vendors, and made sure that on the day of the wedding, everything went off without a hitch! She provided a calm and reassuring presence during a time that could’ve been quite stressful, and she allowed us and our guests to fully enjoy our entire wedding weekend.

We highly recommend her services, no matter what or where your event may be—thank you, Dawn!
