Having Gathering Reimagined was the best decision we could have made for our wedding! The team truly help made our vision come to life and everything we imagined and more! They helped us with finding the perfect vendors for the job and within our budget. I didn’t have to stress about communicating with our vendors and keeping up with contracts/paperwork, Kris and Raecca handled all of that for us. So yes, trust was a big thing, and we completely trusted them to have our backs and make sure everything was in order for our big day. Working with them was enjoyable, fun, and they truly care to make you feel special throughout the whole process! They helped us made 180 custom tequila bottles as the seating chart, and all of our signage for the wedding day. Our wedding was a two days event and they were there to make sure everything were coordinated both days! They are truly amazing and if you are concerning them to help you with your big day, don’t think, just do it! I promise you’ll be glad you did!
P.S I am Vietnamese and my husband is Hispanic, we really wanted to work with a wedding planner that can help marry the two cultures and showcase both of our traditions. The team listened to what was important to us and made sure that it was delivered. We had meetings with other wedding planners in town that was trying to steer us in ways that was easier for them to execute and not necessary what we wanted. So just be mindful of that when you are consulting with your potential wedding planner. It is YOURS big day!

I have no idea where to start when it comes to RAVING about this amazing husband-wife duo! Raecca and Kris have brought nothing, but only the best throughout our planning and wedding day! They brought the wedding of our dreams to life, highlighting what is the most important to us. I met Raecca and Kris during a bridal expo in Austin back in April of 2022. Being Filipino myself, I knew who the Filipinos were in a crowd, and I think this huge similarity brought us together. ;) From the start, Raecca and Kris were so personable and excited to give their clients the best (and easiest) time planning and celebrating their big day. I knew I wanted our wedding to show traditional Filipino culture with modern elements — what better way to do this than with planners with Filipino roots. They provided venue options for us before I fully committed which brought me to a literal heaven on earth venue called Allegro Wedding and Events Venue in Dripping Springs on McGregor Lane. It was an immediate yes for me from the beginning.

Once we committed to them, they got the ball rolling for us immediately. Our vision was just as important to them as it was to us. They organized a mood board based on what we talked about, from the color theme down to what shoes the bridal party was going to wear! With the mood board, they created a shared planning worksheet to help organize our thoughts and a shared drive that kept all of our contracts in one place. They were attentive to our requests, our wants, our needs, and our concerns — truly focusing in what we have envisioned our wedding to be. They were proactive in getting the “bigger stuff” done early (venue, photographer, bar, catering vendors) which gave me the peace of mind. Knowing we have a proactive team beside us meant that they strive for the best possible outcomes and that we book early with the best vendors. They were collaborative in that they allowed me to also seek out vendor options. They advocated for us during vendor calls, always going back to our vision. When vendors didn’t work out, they stepped in and represented us in such a graceful way.

When I said I wanted to DIY some of our decor, they were nothing but supportive of it. TRUE CHEERLEADERS! When I needed help sourcing materials, they stepped in to help. When we needed help accommodating our guests, they stepped in with solutions. I want to highlight their creativity as well! They were so kind enough to provide us with a backdrop for our audio guestbook, even designed the background of our ceremony space. They found inspiration and turned it into something that made our wedding space so much better. I give them full creativity credit for our wedding reception space because they went above and beyond. When it came to shining the spotlight to my Filipino culture, they were on it. They were a resource to me when I was looking into the arras and unity cord ritual. In the weeks/days leading up to our big day, Raecca and Kris were always present. They led calls and collaborated with each vendor professionally. Their partners are just as lucky as we are to have them. During our rehearsal, they led and gave instructions to everyone clearly. During our wedding day, they worked tirelessly and cohesively with all of the vendors, coordinating the logistics and If there was a fire, they put it out right away — didn’t even notice any of it at all! They listened to any of our needs and concerns promptly. Overall, they made sure we were taken care of as well as our guests.

I only have admiration for this duo. I am so lucky to have them as my planners because they made our wedding day unique and perfect. When things felt overwhelming, Raecca provided a calming presence, Kris provided levity, and together, they provided reassurance. Everyone was so impressed with the wedding, thoroughly enjoying how engaging everything was. A lot of this couldn’t be done without the help of Raecca and Kris. We loved working with them and I can honestly say that Gatherings Reimagined holds a lot of pride and passion for their work. Salamat and mabuhay!

The Gatherings Reimagined team, Kris and Raecca, are both fantastic wedding planners that did an amazing job not only getting us through the planning months leading up to our big day, but also running our actual wedding day with little to no stress on us.
To start, my husband and I didn't have much of a picture of what/how we wanted our wedding to be. Kris and Raecca were extremely patient with our vague ideas/wants and helped to gently guide us into making decisions. I think they did a great job gauging us pretty early and could tell what type of couple we were and how much they were going to have to walk us through the whole process of planning a wedding. During the middle months of planning, we decided to throw another wrench in the process by moving across the country - again Kris and Raecca were super patient and helped to make sure things didn't fall through the cracks despite us being distracted and slow to respond. They also made themselves available to get on long planning calls via Teams that could go on for 2+ hours, which were also super easy to schedule on their platform. On the day of our wedding, we didn't have to think at all about coordinating. We had a wedding with about 140+ guests out in Driftwood, TX. Our planners liaised with the vendors, made sure everything was setup correctly and monitored the guests that were flowing in without bothering us while we got ready, which was amazing since all my nerves were wrapped up with the ceremony. The actual event went on without a hitch and flowed smoothly, even during the things we weren't apart of like the cocktail hour (since we were taking pictures). Also, they both made sure we were well fed they whole day and had our space to eat dinner. Raecca made sure I never had an empty glass the whole night. It was the best night we've ever had, hands down!
All in all, my husband and I think Kris and Raecca helped us pull off an amazing wedding that our friends and family raved to us about even weeks after it was over. They are fantastic at what they do, and we would definitely recommend them if you're looking for a planning service.
