    From the moment we started working with First Light Events, we knew we were in good hands! Dawn was open and so helpful for creating the day we wanted! We had ideas for our small backyard wedding, but we didn't really know where to start and the roadmap she laid out really made the process clear. Communicating with Dawn made planning straightforward. She was receptive and helped solidify our vision. Her contacts and experience helped us find affordable, quality vendors that really made our day as stress-free as possible. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding planning experience, and we highly recommend First Light Events to any couple looking for an enjoyable planning journey! Thank you Dawn!
