I used 2 the Altar for an event in May and I was on a tight timeline. Dawn was absolutely amazing to work with. She created exactly what we wanted and met our tight budget without sacrificing quality. Also, because we were short on time, I was even more impressed with how quickly she organized the decor for our event. It was a very stressful time and knowing that Dawn was there to handle the decor really gave me peace of mind to focus on other aspects of our event. Dawn - thank you so much for making our vision come to life and how spot on you were with matching our colors and nailing the look we were going after!!

Where do we even start? Our wedding wouldn’t have been as spectacular as it was without Dawn & Melissa. From start to finish, Dawn is and was nothing short of amazing. She helped make our day that much more special. She went absolutely above and beyond and I’m so honored to have had her on our big day. She’s a true asset, pays so much attention to detail, a wonderful person, and a great friend. Thank you Dawn & Melissa! We absolutely adore you! - Alex & Mia Giovanni

2 The Alter was absolutely incredible for our wedding. We had a small backyard elopement, and Dawn completely transformed the space—it was everything we hoped for and more. Her attention to detail made the day so memorable. I would highly recommend 2 The Alter to anyone looking to make their special day truly unforgettable.

Dawn and Melissa created an absolutely gorgeous backdrop for my sister’s Indian pre-wedding festivities. They were amazing to work with from start to finish, ensuring every detail was perfect. Their centerpiece truly became the life of the party, drawing endless compliments from our guests. The entire process, from planning and contracting to setup, was seamless, easy, and efficient. We couldn’t have done it without them, and we will definitely be working with them again in the future. Highly recommended!

2 The Altar [Melissa & Dawn] were hired to do my son‘s baby shower. They were diligent in getting all my ideas together and ensuring that the baby shower turned out exactly how I envisioned. We met a few times to make sure that the table setting backdrop and colors were precisely done and that we were on the same page. they go above and beyond and are very knowledgeable about the industry. At the end of the day when family and friends are still commenting on the event you know you had a home run! Thank you, Dawnn and Melissa for a beautiful baby shower. More events coming. - PS extra points for time management and last minute MC - Leslie Clowers Simon
