About Me
Dawn Manley
I left the corporate world to follow my heart and build a career centered on people, connection, and meaningful moments. My work is guided by the belief that weddings are more than events—they are intentional, sacred moments where love, energy, and commitment come together in powerful ways.
Through Sunrise Vows and Seals, I support couples as a Wedding Officiant, Wedding Coordinator, and Event Rental Provider, offering personalized ceremonies, calm day-of coordination, and beautiful rentals including arches with florals, chairs, and more. Every service I provide is rooted in care, intention, and respect for each couple’s values, beliefs, and unique love story.
I approach each ceremony with a spiritual mindset—one that honors presence, connection, and the deeper meaning behind the promises being made. Whether a couple’s vision is traditional, modern, spiritual, religious, or non-religious, my goal is always the same: to create a ceremony that feels authentic, heartfelt, and truly theirs.
Outside of weddings, I’m an adventurer at heart. I love hiking, skiing, traveling, and embracing new experiences, and I find a lot of joy and grounding in caring for my three dogs and 35 chickens. I’m married and blessed with four children, a daughter-in-law, a son-in-law, and one cherished grandchild, who keeps life full of laughter and love.
I’m known for being compassionate, fun, and deeply present, and I bring that same energy to every couple I work with. From the first conversation to the final “I do,” I strive to create a wedding experience that feels peaceful, supported, and unforgettable.
Your love story matters—and it deserves to be celebrated beautifully.

A personal approach.
Reviews consistently mention how seen and heard couples feel. Every ceremony is thoughtfully crafted around your love story, values, and vision — never a template.
I meet you where you are.
Spiritual, non-religious, traditional, or somewhere in between — couples appreciate my nonjudgmental, welcoming approach and the freedom to be themselves.
Elopements, micro weddings, and full weddings.
Whether intimate or large-scale, couples value that I tailor my services to fit their day — not the other way around.
Detail-oriented and thorough.

Calm under pressure.
Reviews frequently highlight my steady, calming presence. When emotions run high or plans change, I remain flexible, solution-focused, and reassuring.
Flexible like Gumby.
Weddings are unpredictable, and couples appreciate how smoothly I adapt when things shift — weather, timing, or last-minute changes.
Professional, compassionate, and fun.
I know when to step in, when to step back, and how to keep things moving with warmth, professionalism, and just the right touch of humor.
Spiritual and intentional.
Couples value the care and intention I bring to the moment, creating ceremonies rooted in love, meaning, and commitment — without forcing a specific belief system.
