Dawn Gracie - Dawn's Vintage Do Reviews

We cannot recommend Dawn highly enough! Her relentless energy, unpair presence and great sense of humour had our guests and residents asking for more! We have hosted several events, with fantastic entertainment, but her act truly engages with all members of the public. If you're looking for someone to make your guests laugh, clap and dance, then Dawn is the best choice. Thank you Dawn!

Dawn's Vintage Weekender, It was our pleasure to meet Dawn 9 year's ago at Bracklesham we were bowled over with absolutely everything she and her helpers did for us . We have never missed Our Vintage Weekender Dawn and her Yellowcoats are amazing in what they do to for us , who have now become one BIG Weekender family. From the themes which is always 50s and 60s, and thrown in is a wild card eg 1920s, 1970s, 1980's, i could go on . If you've not done one of her Weekenders please come along you will not be disappointed. Dawn is full of character, she brings an atmosphere with her , she puts her heart and soul into everything that she does and not forgetting her backup team our Yellowcoats . Its bonkers really which suits us down to the ground. 10 Stars 🌟 I award you Miss Gracie. Love you to bits . Bevlar xxx

Dawns vintage weekenders are brilliant, she has thought of everything to make this event a memory to keep you smiling for weeks afterwards, they are three days in which to forget the outside world and just laugh and dance, her team of yellow coats are also amazing.

Entertainment on the south coast!! If it be the evenings shows and daytime events in Chichester and the surrounding areas or the bigger Weekender events, Dawn's Vintage Do is always fun, inclusive and sometimes a little bit sassy.

❤️ Absolutely fantastic 🤩. We had a great weekend. A group of first timers, we all booked again for next year. What a laugh! Great atmosphere, great people, great team, great costumes, great dancers, great bar team. If you want a nice quiet weekend go away another weekend, but if you want a great time book now before it sells out again. ❤️

There are not enough descriptive words available to convey how much enjoyment & laughter experiencing Dawn's Vintage Weekender will bring you! Meeting up with old friends, making new friends and even if you are on your own it's no problem with her fab buddy system. It's such an inclusive event - you just join in and suddenly you have a brand new set of skills and friends 😀. This was my second Weekender & I am now booked for 2024! Can't wait ...

There’s so much that goes into planning and running a fantastic event, yet Dawn makes it look effortless. She pays attention to every detail, for example the buddy system, to ensure that any solo attendees finds a buddy or crew to just have the best time. I had the pleasure of being part of the crew this year and capturing images of all of the fabulous outfits and hairdo’s throughout the weekend. Even though we were “working” we still had so much fun, made so many memories and met such fantastic people. Thank you to Dawn and the rest of her crew for making this the weekend you really don’t EVER want to miss!
