    Dawn is who you want !

    We were so glad we chose Vows By Dawn to officiate our wedding ceremony. From our first conversation, Dawn was friendly and informative, answering every question we had and making us feel at ease about the whole process. She paid close attention to what mattered to us and incorporated those details into a ceremony that felt personal and meaningful. On our wedding day, she was amazing and exactly who you would want standing up there with you. Her calm presence and genuine warmth helped us feel grounded during such an emotional moment. We would absolutely recommend her to any couple looking for an officiant who truly cares about making your ceremony special.

    Perfect Wedding

    Dawn was absolutely amazing! She was so kind and made everything happen for my husband and me. We shared our date, and she took care of the rest. Since we were from out of town, she already had the perfect place in mind and guided us through every next step. It was effortless—exactly what we wanted. Dawn, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this such a special experience for us.

    Amazing!!!

    We were unsure where to start with our ceremony, but Dawn made the whole process stress-free and easy from day one. Her communication was clear and consistent throughout our planning, answering every question we had and guiding us in the right direction. On our wedding day, she delivered our vows with such thoughtfulness and personality that everyone could hear her perfectly over the wind, even without a microphone. Dawn's flexibility and attention to detail made our ceremony feel truly personal to us. We could not have done this without her and would recommend her to any couple looking for an amazing officiant.

I started officiating in 2007 in the New York City area. I made my home in Myrtle Beach 5 years ago & was fortunate enough to be able to continue doing what I love: marrying people!
I bring a passion for love and commitment to my role as a wedding officiant. I uniquely tailor each wedding ceremony to reflect the couple’s values and relationship, ensuring a true celebration of their bond. My goal is to create a stress-free planning process, allowing my couples to relax and savor every moment of their special day. My couples tell me my style is warm, easy and breezy, and people who I’ve just met say they feel like they’ve known me forever. For me, it’s an honor and privilege to be part of such a significant occasion in their lives.
Yes, if a couple requests this. It is not required in order for me to be booked as their officiant.
I specialize in creating simple & touching ceremonies, tailored to my couple’s preferences. During our initial conversation, I love getting to know my couples. I get their feedback on what they want their ceremony to look like and I share my recommendations. Then we partner up to select and curate the perfect vows for the ceremony. It’s all about creating a ceremony that reflects the couples’ love for one another.
I provide all the information my couples need to easily obtain their South Carolina or North Carolina marriage license before their wedding (whether they live in-state or not). I am also available to them 24/7 to answer any questions/concerns. We sign together at a mutually agreed-upon time and location (usually the day of their ceremony). Once signed, I will file it with the appropriate county probate court after their ceremony
Yes! I am available for rehearsals! I also perform vow renewals and elopements, and I have a “Sign & Wed” service as well (appropriate for couples who are not currently planning a ceremony but would like to be legally married as soon as possible). I am also very excited to offer "The Perfect Beach Elopement" package, with full officiant services plus professional photography. It’s everything you'll both need to start off your simply perfect life together.
There are so many that are near and dear to my heart! It is the unique and timeless love stories that truly capture my heart. I loved officiating the marriage of Dorothy (75 years old) and Jerry (88 years old). Their ceremony reminded everyone there (including me!) that true love is eternal. In a similar vein, I also officiated a very poignant vow renewal on Debbie and Tim’s 50th wedding anniversary. Their entire family flew in from up north. We had their ceremony on the beach, and everyone agreed we would all meet back at the same spot in 50 years for their next vow renewal! I always find something special in every wedding celebration.
