“Mere words inadequately express how incredibly grateful we are for Gathering Events.  Not only does your team have extraordinary design talent and organizational skills  (….not to mention ‘crisis management skills’ when roads unexpectedly close!?!) but an uncanny ability to listen, envision, implement and execute with confidence.  Those gifts trickle down to the bride, the groom, their families and their guests!  You both were worth your weight in gold on every level and consistently exceeded expectation from every angle.”

Thank you all dearly for yet again a truly lovely party.

You make everything  work like magic.  I know that it takes a lot of planning and execution to make it appear so seamless.  Savoring the wonderful memories of the beautiful flowers, delicious wines and outrageously good gourmet southern comfort food.

You are the best and I am so happy you are in my life.  I could  not and would not ever do a party without you !!  Xx

Design

Our hallmark is understated elegance.  We see the world through a design lens, finding inspiration while exploring destinations abroad or at home nurturing our own gardens.  Architecture, interior design, the arts and gracious entertaining, all fuel our work.  We love balancing color, symmetry, pattern and proportions to create harmony – that intangible but essential element of beauty.

“A week has passed since the amazing wedding weekend, and we are now just coming down from our high!  We wanted to write to thank you for all you both did to create a memorable series of events for Sarah and Corey and for our friends.  From the hotel flowers, to the incredible transformation of Chez Nous, to the vibrancy of the Zero George arrangements, to the breathtaking wedding florals, it was a perfect 10 from start to finish.  Our guests could not stop talking about the flowers, and they still are!  It was a great joy to create with you and to be part of the design process.  You are both pros, wonderful to work with and we can’t wait to tell everyone we know about you!”
