All Around Amazing!

We hired Premier W.E.D. for our daughter's wedding in July. From the very first meeting to the moment we loaded into the car after the reception was nothing short of stress free and amazing. They are incredibly professional, have amazing design taste and can execute a plan better than anyone in the business. I'm sure there were hiccups along the way but we didn't know about them because they handled them. The entire process was joyful and easy. They will definitely be helping with my younger daughter's wedding when it's her time. I cannot stress enough how highly I recommend them. Professional on every level and amazing to work with!

THANK YOU! Love love love Dawn and Premier!

We could not be more appreciate to Dawn, Katy, and the whole Premier W.E.D. team. They were everything we wanted and expected in a planner and then a whole bunch more!

Communication and response time was incredible, especially given the amount of time working together (nearly 2 years due to COVID reschedule).

They took all our hopes, needs, and financial parameters into account and help us easily find the best solution at every turn, and ended up helping create the wedding of our dreams.

Having them on the day of was a godsend, if anything went wrong we surely didn't know about it and would have never noticed. Our ability to breathe, relax, and actually enjoy the entire day without a worry in the world was priceless.

Overall, we just loved this whole team and are so thankful we found them. If you are planning a wedding in the Nashville area, reach out to Dawn!

My day was perfect because of PremierWed and their entire team!

My wedding was small, but the details were not. In the beginning stages of planning I thought I could plan and execute everything myself....this couldn't have been further from the truth! My anxiety got so out of control that I HAD to find a planner. When I met with Dawn I immediately knew I found the perfect fit for me, and what I expected for my event.

Dawn has the ability to take your vision and truly make it reality. From makeup to menus, florals to linens, and everything in between...she nailed it! My guests had the time of their lives, and I didn't worry about a single thing except enjoying my day. I've never handed over complete control of anything in my life, but I would do it again in a heartbeat if PremierWed was leading the charge!

Thank you Dawn, all of your staff, and perfect vendors for my perfect day! I will never forget how special you made the most special day of my life thus far!
