We’re thrilled to announce that our very own Dawn Bennett has been named Wedding Coordinator of the Year by the Post-Star! This prestigious award is a testament to Dawn’s incredible talent, dedication, and passion for creating unforgettable wedding experiences at the Fort William Henry Hotel.
When asked about the recognition, Dawn humbly shared, “It is a great honor to be recognized. All the other wedding coordinators in the category were personal wedding coordinators, and we, Fort William Henry and I, were the only hotel in that category. That is huge!”
What makes Dawn stand out among other wedding coordinators? Her approach is simple: she cares deeply about her couples, which creates a significant level of trust and confidence when helping them plan their dream day. “We work for them sometimes for up to two years and they are like family,” Dawn explains.
Don’t just take our word for the outstanding service that Dawn offers. A new bride, Jacklynn Atkins, who got married in June 2024, gave the following testimonial:
“My husband and I had our wedding at the Fort William Henry carriage house on June 15, 2024. We had a year and a half to plan our wedding by the time we picked our venue. Dawn was one of our wedding coordinators, along with her assistant Keilana. Since day 1, Dawn came prepared and was extremely responsive to any questions we had via phone, email, or in person. She was very flexible to accommodate what we envisioned and wasn’t afraid to say no to ideas that could jeopardize the venue or their licenses. Leading up to the wedding, she made sure we didn’t stress about the setup or breakdown and took care of everything with her team. Our wedding day was perfect, from the details we asked to the event timeline, everything was spot on. She made sure the entire time my husband and I were taken care of, even after the wedding, with a little night snack in our room. I highly recommend working with the Fort William Henry team for a wedding.”
We’re incredibly proud of Dawn for this well-deserved recognition. Her passion and expertise are invaluable assets to the Fort William Henry Hotel and to our couples.
