A fabulous venue for foodie lovers
Our experience with The Dawson was truly exceptional. From the very beginning, Erin and the team were kind, receptive, and incredibly helpful in clarifying every detail of our wedding day. The industrial chic, elevated yet casual vibe of the space was exactly what we were looking for. They went above and beyond, meeting with us, our planner, and vendors multiple times, and even allowing us to rehearse in the space during key dinner hours. The tasting was fabulous, and they accommodated both our preferences and those of our parents. On the day of, the dinner service was impeccable, and our guests are still raving about the incredible meal. We are so grateful to Erin and the entire Dawson team for making our special day truly unforgettable.
