Rev. Dawn specializes in working with couples to develop custom ceremonies that best reflect their unique spirituality, heritage, and love story. She also offers affordable premarital and spiritual counseling in a laid-back setting that focuses on offering couples a safe space to listen to each other, and to develop tools for effective communication and conflict resolution.

As I have a background in event coordinating, I occasionally serve as a wedding consultant -- especially in the areas of green celebrations, weddings involving multiple faith and cultural traditions, or assisting clients in developing ceremonies that others may officiate.

In addition to officiating, I also write about holistic living for various outlets. My work has been featured in Whole Life Times, Awareness Magazine, The Messenger, LA Yoga Magazine, and Atlanta's Oracle 20-20. She currently writes a weekly feature, entitled "Ask the Rev" for the Get Married website.

    Rev. Dawn was nothing short of professional and warm hearted. She had a smile and was very well spoken. All of the guests at the wedding complimented on how great she did! We were very pleased with the service we receieved!

    Rev. Dawn married me and my wife in a ceremony that really resembled who we are: simple, beautiful, inspiring, and straight to the soul. No fireworks. She guided us with good ideas and prepared a memorable ceremony by working with us and helping us customize it to our own style. The result was unforgettable.

    We absolutely LOVED working with Rev. Dawn! My husband and I were looking for an officiant who could blend together our non-religious background, but could incorporate classic Christian values into our civil ceremony. As soon as we skyped (instead of in person because of a long drive and difficult schedules) with her, we knew she would be perfect. We had several run-throughs a few months before the wedding, and she was very flexible with making the changes we wanted, including adding quotes we loved. She listened to and took note of everything we had to say.

    The ceremony was absolutely beautiful. I think one of the most important things, too, was that both my husband and I are pretty nervous about getting up in front of people. We had more people than we expected come to our wedding, which would have been daunting for both of us, but Rev. Dawn's calm demeanor really helped keep both of us at ease. There was a problem with our venue not getting back to us about a rental microphone, so we had to let Rev. Dawn know on short notice and she completely took care of everything, no questions asked. She was prompt and easy to work with and I would recommend her to anyone else I knew who is getting married. If we could get married again, without a doubt we would have her again!

    Rev. Dawn is wonderful! She is professional and prompt. We would recommend her to anyone. She is kind, and understanding. We really felt like she wanted to be there and part of our special day. She gave us advise when needed, to make sure our ceremony would be beautiful. She offered her interfaith expertise to bring a unique aspect to the ceremony. This was important to us because we wanted to incorporate unique values into our ceremony and step away from some of the traditional weddings we've been to in the past. She is so easy to work with, very open-minded and modern. Thank you so much for being there for us Dawn!

    My new wife and I would highly recommend Rev. Dawn's services. The ceremony she put together for us was extremely personalized, and we couldn't believe how right it felt for us. Even better, the feedback from almost everyone we talked to at the wedding was that it was the best ceremony they had ever seen. Overall, Rev, Dawn added so much to our wedding, and we are very glad we found her.
