Mother, wife, and self-declared wedding enthusiast, Cassidy is the visionary heart behind Dusk to Dawn Events. With a talent for logistics and a passion for celebration, she helps couples turn their dream day into a flawlessly executed reality.

​

Her career in the wedding industry began in 2017 as a banquet manager at a full-service country club—a role that laid the foundation for her deep understanding of event flow, hospitality, and behind-the-scenes magic. Today, she brings that expertise to each couple she works with, building planning and coordination teams that lead with calm confidence and heartfelt care.

​

Cassidy is also the creative force behind Rita’s Roses, Dusk to Dawn’s boutique floral design studio. Whether she’s designing centerpieces or crafting full-scale floral installations, she loves helping couples see their vision bloom—literally.

When she’s not busy curating weddings, you’ll find Cassidy in her element: cooking up something delicious, baking with her son, or at the local bowling alley (with the bumpers up of course).

​

Fun Fact: Cassidy studied Elementary Education in college—but found her true calling in weddings, where she still gets to guide, teach, and support... just with a bit more sparkle.

Dana is the newest sparkle in our Dusk to Dawn Events constellation, and she’s ready to be your planning bestie. With a background in education and experience coordinating events at the Alamo Drafthouse, Dana knows how to juggle a timeline, soothe nerves, and keep things running smoother than a fresh linen tablecloth. 

​

By day, she’s shaping young minds as a special education teacher in Northern Virginia. By weekend, she’s helping couples bring their dream days to life—with a clipboard in one hand and an Alani Nu in the other.

​

Dana also runs our social media, sprinkling your feed with wedding inspo, helpful tips, and behind-the-scenes peeks at all the love and magic we get to be part of. Whether she’s wrangling flower girls or posting the perfect flat lay, Dana brings heart, humor, and hustle to everything she does.

Accounting Analyst by day, wedding coordinator by night—Brianna brings organization, dedication, and a can-do attitude to every celebration.

​

Brianna officially joined the Dusk to Dawn Events adventure in 2023. What began as a simple “Hey, I need help for this one event,” quickly turned into a passion for planning and supporting couples behind the scenes. Since then, she’s become an essential part of the team, helping with administrative tasks, bookkeeping, and assisting with floral design for Rita’s Roses.

​

Outside of weddings, Brianna is a proud mom who can often be found with a trunk full of sports gear, cheering on her kids from one field to the next.

​

Fun Fact: Cassidy and Brianna have been best friends for over 20 years!

Wife, mother of two, and seasoned event professional, Shyan brings warmth, adaptability, and years of hands-on experience to the Dusk to Dawn Events team. As the wife of a Marine, she’s spent much of her life traveling to new duty stations and learning how to thrive wherever she’s planted. That flexibility and calm-under-pressure mindset have become some of her greatest strengths—both in life and in the fast-paced world of events. Since beginning her career in events in 2014, she has developed a passion for creating memorable experiences and helping celebrations come together seamlessly.

​

Outside of weddings and events, Shyan enjoys slowing down with a good book, catching up on sci-fi, crime, or medical dramas, and spending time baking for the people she loves. While most event professionals survive on coffee, Shyan proudly stands by chai tea and Arnold Palmers instead—because in her words, coffee smells amazing but never tastes quite as good as it promises.

​

Fun Fact: Shyan is currently finishing her bachelor’s degree after earning her associate’s in liberal arts, proving that no matter how busy life gets, she’s always making time to grow, learn, and chase her goals.

While they may stay behind the scenes, our day-of assistants are the quiet force that keeps everything running seamlessly. Think of them as the oil in a well-tuned engine—supporting your lead coordinator, tending to small details, and stepping in wherever needed to ensure your day flows effortlessly. Their calm presence and willingness to jump in at a moment’s notice make all the difference when it comes to creating a stress-free celebration.
