DM Events & Design - Brooklyn, New York

Allie S. B.

DM Events planned our 200-person black tie wedding at Brooklyn Botanic Garden this fall. From the moment I first spoke to Dawn Goldsmith, I felt at ease. She is a true visionary and a powerhouse. Dawn kept not just me, but my husband, our families and our budget(!!), on track from our very first phone call to the end of the wedding night. She and her team are kind, thoughtful, sensitive to their clients’ preferences, and extremely responsive.

Putting aside all of the variable twists and turns that came with the era of COVID-weddings (which were navigated with ease), Dawn designed and planned an absolutely picture perfect event that exceeded all expectations. She has impeccable taste and a way of articulating and evolving my vision better than I could. Her design-minded approach is something that was really important to me when selecting a planner – no detail too small!

Regarding the day of, Dawn’s team is a well-oiled machine. If there were any hiccups (there weren’t), neither I nor my guests would have been any the wiser. It was smooth sailing. My family and I had guests approaching throughout the wedding, as well as a flood of texts and calls following the big day, saying things like “This is the nicest wedding I’ve ever been to” and “the quintessential New York City wedding”. Literally, the perfect day.

Dawn Goldsmith is a total pro and a blessing to work with.

It was an absolute gift working with DM Events & Design on our daughter's June wedding in East Hampton! During the year of planning, Dawn and Em exhibited deep knowledge of the industry, relevant vendors and the area. Their level of organization and wisdom around things we never would have thought of and their ability to anticipate scenarios was remarkable. They were unfailing upbeat and reliable and patient when indicated. Their design ideas and vision were gorgeous and they also demonstrated the ability to truly partner on aesthetics. We enjoyed every interaction with Dawn and Em and really looked forward to our meetings. It was hard to say "goodbye" and we recommend them wholeheartedly and without reservation. They are the best!

My husband and I had an amazing experience working with Dawn & Em of DM Events to plan our wedding. They are an incredible team - Dawn is a design guru and so helpful in coming up with your dream wedding vision, down to the tiny details, and Em is the most organized person and fastest responder I've ever met. They were on top of the process the whole way and kept us on track but not overwhelmed with monthly to do lists (note, this was extremely helpful - there are a million things that go into planning a wedding, and trying to think about / plan for / do all of them at the same time will make you very unhappy. Their expertise on what to handle early and what you can wait on was invaluable). They made the wedding planning process enjoyable and saved us so much time, often anticipating the questions we'd ask or the concerns we would have. Most importantly, we always knew that our wedding would be amazing because we were in such good, experienced, capable hands. Totally recommend!

It's hard to sum up just how amazing it was to work with Dawn and the entire DM Events & Design team. Throughout our wedding planning process, Dawn kept us on track, was exclusively kind, patient, and empathetic, and despite how jam packed the 2021 wedding season was for all wedding vendors, we always felt like a priority. When our wedding weekend was finally here, Dawn went above and beyond what I imagine is 'typical' for a wedding planner. She and her team handled EVERYTHING, and I mean everything, and we can't thank her and her team enough for alleviating any sort of stress that could have taken away from our special day. The DM Events & Design team drove to at least 10 different hotels across NYC and Brooklyn to deliver our welcome bags, which they also put together for us, and that's just one example. We trusted Dawn completely and boy, did she deliver! Working with DM Events & Design was hands down the best decision we made throughout our wedding journey. We would say weekly while planning that we would've been lost without Dawn, and it's so true! I would recommend DM Events to any couple without hesitation. Dawn's and her team's professionalism is unmatched and we're so grateful that they played such a huge role in the happiest day of our lives. Thank you for everything Dawn, Sophia, Eric and the rest of the DM Events & Design team!

We worked with DM Events (Dawn and her lead coordinator Em) to create our dream June wedding in Brooklyn and they truly surpassed every expectation! From day one, we knew we found the perfect partners to bring our vision to life, and the entire planning journey was such a seamless experience. Dawn and Em demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, organization, and expertise. Their attention to detail and ability to listen attentively to our wishes ensured that every aspect of our special day reflected our unique personalities and love story.

What sets DM Events apart is the ability to transform ideas into reality. Dawn's creative flair and impeccable taste was evident in guiding us to our design elements, from the beautiful florals to the thoughtful stationery. We have never received more compliments than we have from guests on these details (we'll never forget her floral bike installation idea)! The logistical challenges of planning a wedding in NYC can be daunting, but Em handled everything from hard-to-pin-down vendors to contracts to deadlines with grace and finesse. Em was also a total rockstar on the actual day, keeping our families and bridal parties on track!

Overall what truly made Dawn and Em stand out was the genuine care and support they provided us throughout our entire planning process. They were more than just our wedding planners; they became our confidants. To anyone in search of a wedding planner, we wholeheartedly recommend DM Events! They are an extraordinary team with expertise, creativity and genuine passion who will go above and beyond to turn your vision into reality.

Working with Em and Dawn was easier than we could have ever imagined. They are very personable and it is very easy to connect with them, which was evident with our very first call with them. They were very organized and helped us stay on track for the wedding. They were very easy to get a hold of and responded very promptly to any questions that we had. They coordinated with all of our vendors and made sure the day of was running smoothly. They were always willing to go above and beyond; Em even tied my bow tie for me!!!

Dawn and Alex at DM Events are *rockstars*. We worked with them on full wedding planning and design for just under a year and the entire experience was wonderful. I always felt like we were organized, on track, in communication, and having fun!! Every vendor they recommended or helped vet was incredible. Our wedding vision and size changed quite a few times along the way and they just rolled with it and us in the best way. On the day of our wedding, I couldn't have felt more confident that they had everything under control and would handle anything that came up. Our day was perfect and magical and at the end of it I left with a husband and two new friends in Dawn and Alex 🙂

Dawn and Em our truly our wedding fairy godmothers. When I think of the phrase “above and beyond,” I think of them. Between the pandemic and a last minute venue cancellation, Dawn and Em saved the day. Without their calm guidance and well-timed enthusiasm, we would have cancelled our reception entirely. Thanks to their efforts, our wedding was even better than we could have dreamed. From day one and even now after the wedding, they were and remain cheerful supporters, saavy insiders, and wonderful people to work with for an event, especially a wedding. They have my absolute highest recommendation.
