Skylar Arden Wedding and Events Planning and Design - Long Island City, New York

Dawn went above and beyond to make our wedding day absolutely seamless and perfect. She was so organized, communicative, and patient throughout the entire process. I am a type A perfectionist who truly hates letting someone else take charge and ownership, but with Dawn, I knew I was in good hands from the very beginning. She cared about our wedding as if it was her own, and we know that the wedding wouldn't have gone as smoothly without her direction and organization. Everything was perfectly timed, and all our guests really felt at ease because of all the planning that Dawn did to ensure our timeline had the guest experience in mind. I'm not someone who rights reviews, but I had to share my experience with working with Dawn so other brides would feel encouraged to use her! She's a class act and will make your wedding a dream!!

Dawn was our Wedding Planner for our 3 day wedding (Welcome Event, Indian Wedding & Western Wedding). We worked closely with her for the 6-8 months leading to our wedding. We would not have been able to coordinate our wedding without her! She is amazing at what she does and she truly helped us feel like the wedding planning process was manageable while we were both working and planning a wedding. Dawn can flex her style to her couples, as a couple my husband and I were fairly organized and Dawn knew exactly where to step in and lend her expertise. We chose Dawn because she had lots of experience with weddings and events in the Hudson valley area and she was also a local business in Jersey City and supporting local was important to us. Dawn’s communication, attention to detail and ability to problem solve stood out to us. We found her to be extremely responsive despite her busy schedule during peak times. If we needed any type of guidance, Dawn was our sounding board and she is a realist which is really important during the wedding planning process. Dawn is also well connected, she actually had worked with several of our wedding vendors before and that alone made connecting everyone together so much easier and all of our vendors were on the same page. Our wedding weekend was beyond perfect thanks to Dawn. She is a true professional and takes immense pride in the work that she does. Simply put, Dawn gets it and you will not regret working with her! We gained a new friend working with Dawn for our wedding as we are so thankful that we got to work with her and have her be a part of our wedding!!!

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!

We worked with Dawn on event coordination and design for our June wedding in Ringwood, New Jersey. From our first call, to the thorough and thoughtful questionnaire Dawn sent us to get a sense of our style and priorities, to always being available to make a recommendation, and ultimately her calm, attentive, and very professional execution of our wedding, Dawn was wonderful to work with from start to finish. It was so nice to be fully present and relaxed on our wedding day knowing that everything was in such great hands. We would absolutely recommend hiring Dawn for your special moments. Our wedding was made 100 times more beautiful, fun and seamless because of her.

We loved getting to know and work with Dawn for our wedding! She's overly communicative and extremely organized, which helped alleviate a lot of potential stresses going into our wedding weekend.

We also trusted her to execute on our various ideas and creative vision. And she totally did! Several of our guests also enjoyed getting to know Dawn. Overall, we would highly recommend Dawn for your wedding.

From walking us through the planning process, to being our go-to person on the day of our wedding, Dawn was a constant source of support. She quelled every anxiety and glitch that arose, and made our wedding run SO, SO smoothly and seamlessly. Dawn's level of experience and eye for detail make her someone I wouid recommend over and over!!! Thank you Dawn!

I really can't express how much I appreciated having Dawn by my side through the planning and execution of my wedding. Dawn is incredibly calm, poised, professional, detail oriented and fun (which is very important ;))! I used to be a former event manager myself and was very concerned that I wouldn't be able to let-go of being "in the details" but almost immediately I felt so comfortable and confident in Dawn's abilities that I was really able to turn things over and let her do what she does best!
You cannot go wrong with choosing to work with Dawn to plan your special day. She is worth every penny and SO much more! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dawn! <3 Chelsea

Once Upon A Vow

I've been lucky enough to work with Dawn from Skylar Arden Events on two Brooklyn weddings that were equal parts stylish, fun, organized, and showcased the couples' personalities in beautifully meaningful ways.

Dawn cares A LOT about what each couple wants for their wedding day! Are you having an interfaith wedding? Dawn's got you covered. Want a fun, laid back wedding that's Instagrammable AF? Dawn can do it! Want to actually enjoy your wedding day instead of worrying about whatever's next? Dawn's got your back!

No detail is too small! She will work within your budget, guide you to stay true to your vision, and work her creative, artsy Wonder Woman magic to make your wedding day way better than you originally imagined. So grateful for this powerhouse human! You will be too!
