Our Story
Our story got its humble beginning in our founder's Native home of Ocho Rios, Jamaica, where Chevis began working in hospitality and quickly realized his love for event design after seeing the behind the scenes set up of countless weddings. Always & Forever Weddings and Events was born in 2019 out of a passion that our Founder, Chevis Dawkins had for designing beautiful events and for the love of helping our clients mold their dreams into reality. Since our inception, we’ve committed ourselves to creating impactful and creative experiences for our clients and their guests, no matter the size of the event.
I'm the lead planner and one of the owners here at Always & Forever. Some of my guilty pleasures include indulging in caffeinated beverages (just my fancy way of saying coffee), stalking online marketplaces for vintage finds, binge-watching reality television, and laughing, there is nothing better than a good laugh. I am the mother of three of the most adorable little girls and the wife to one passionate, decor-loving event designer. When I'm not working with one of my lovely brides I am working as a veterinary nurse at a local emergency and specialty hospital. I love that I have been given this opportunity to help couples discover what they want for their wedding day and then seeing their faces once their vision has been realized.

I'm the event designer and an owner here at Always & Forever. I am a native of Jamaica and have worked in the events industry for 10 years. As the father of three, I enjoy snuggling and watching Disney+ for hours at a time with the kiddos. I am guilty of indulging in tiktok with my second oldest and being the neatest neat freak you will ever meet (blame my mother). Give me some fabric and I can make any event beautiful.
