Her enviable reputation for the highest standards in professionalism, attention to detail and patience along with her sense of humour make her the perfect planner – just take a look at her ‘Testimonial’ page to see the fantastic feedback from delighted families she has helped.

As well as Wedding Planning, Dawn Marie Wedding & Event Design also arranges a host of Elite Wedding Events, has a highly successful Wedding Business Consultancy and has recently taken over the reins at The Wedding Guide UK.  One of the original judges of The North of England Wedding Awards, Dawn Marie was on the panel for 6 years when she was approached to look after a privately owned wedding venue.  With the successful venue now up and running, Dawn is delighted to have been asked back onto the judging panel.  With her wealth of experience Dawn has high expectations of wedding professionals and is looking forward to seeing some of the best the Yorkshire region has to offer.  Although occasionally working outside her area, Dawn mainly covers Northumberland down to County Durham meaning she can judge the Yorkshire region with an impartial view.
