The BEST experience with a phenomenal team!

Where to begin?! Chelsy and her team are absolutely phenomenal!! We hired Chelsy for the whole package and it was the best decision we ever made. Not only is she super professional and talented…she is kind, and truly wants the best for her couples. She helped us with everything from recommending the best vendors, to finding us personalized cake toppers on Etsy. Chelsy always made herself available to chat if we had questions, and always helped to find a solution if we ever felt overwhelmed or stressed. She made everything fun and it was like working with a friend! We also had the pleasure of working with Hannah for our actual wedding day, and she was also a dream to work with!! We told Chelsy our vision and she truly brought it to life. We can’t say enough incredible things about Chelsy, and we highly, highly recommend The Gathering Co. to everyone reading this!!! BOOK CHELSY & HER TEAM! :)

The best wedding planners ever!!!!

Chelsy and Sage with The Gathering Co were truly one of the greatest gifts of our wedding experience. From the very beginning, they cared about every single detail — big and small — and handled everything with such warmth, calmness, and genuine joy. You can feel how much they love what they do, and how deeply they care about the people they serve!
When our wedding weekend was turned upside down by a snowstorm, Chelsy was an absolute saving grace for me. She walked with me through every option, every decision, and every emotion. She was fully committed to making our dream day happen — no matter what! I never once felt alone or overwhelmed because she was always one step ahead, steady, reassuring, and completely in control in the best possible way
They made sure every vendor was safe and supported, every guest was cared for, and every detail was thoughtfully handled — all while keeping such a positive, calming presence. In the middle of what could have been so stressful, she created peace, confidence, and so much joy.
Because of Chelsy and Sage, our wedding day was not just beautiful — it felt seamless, cared for, and incredibly special. They didn’t just plan an event… They protected and carried our vision through one of the most unexpected situations imaginable.
We are endlessly grateful, and I cannot recommend The Gathering Co enough for any wedding or event. They truly made our day perfect!!

Fantastic Wedding Planner

My husband and I did not have the most linear wedding planning process. 6 months before our wedding date, we found out that our venue was closing and we were going to have to find another venue to host our 240 person wedding. This is also around the time we met Chelsy with The Gathering Co. Despite the fact that we booked the event management package (for month of coordination), Chelsy and her team were there for us from the time we met until our wedding day. Chelsy provided recommendations for new venues to tour, read over every contract, negotiated with the venue on our behalf, and truly helped us to execute our most perfect day. We were even running over an hour behind on wedding day and neither my husband or myself ever felt this stress as Chelsy handled every bit of it with grace. We can't thank her and her team enough for all they did for us. She brought such positive energy to what had been a stressful wedding process. Can't recommend her and her team enough!

Amazing Experience!

Working with The Gathering Co. was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and that is all thanks to Sage! From the very beginning, Sage was attentive, responsive, and incredibly organized. She made the entire planning process feel effortless, handling every detail with care and precision. I never once had to stress or worry about what was happening behind the scenes—Sage had it all covered.

On the big day, everything came together perfectly. Sage brought our vision to life and created a celebration that was not only beautiful but completely stress-free. Her professionalism, warmth, and dedication truly made our wedding spectacular. I can’t say enough good things about her—if you're looking for someone to make your dream day come true, look no further than Sage and The Gathering Co.!

The BEST Planner

Deanna and The Gathering Co. were an absolute joy to work with! From the moment I met Deanna I knew I had to work with her and we immediately became friends! She made everything feel so special and made our day flow perfectly! Deanna went above and beyond to help make all of my visions come to life, she was very responsive, kind, and attentive. I could not have asked for a better planner for our day! I can not recommend Deanna and The Gathering Co. enough!!

The BEST wedding planner!

Working with The Gathering Co. for design and day of coordination was the #1 best decision we made for our wedding. We worked with Maddy and (I cannot overstate this) cannot recommend her enough.

Maddy was able to take a few inspiration pictures we had, add in her own suggestions while respecting our wishes, respond to my numerous requests to bounce ideas off of, and bring an amazing day to life. Her ability to manage everything, while keeping us within our budget, made us feel confident and stress-free during the entire process. And the day turned out beautiful, I cannot stress enough how many compliments we received specifically on both the design of the wedding, and logistics, a lot of which was directly her doing.

Logistically, her communication was fantastic—always quick to respond to emails, texts, and calls, which made the planning process so much easier. We do not live in state, and she was so helpful being able to coordinate things in lieu of us. She was incredibly organized, always had an answer to any question we had, and even went above and beyond by helping us solve last-minute logistics issues, sacrificing her personal time to make sure everything went perfectly. She is the sweetest and nicest human, not only was she a dream to work with, but she also kept the entire event on track while being warm and approachable to us and our guests.

TLDR: Book The Gathering Co. (and Maddy!) ASAP for the wedding day of your dreams!! 50000000/10 stars!!!

So Highly Recommended

I don’t think I can fully express how helpful it was to have the Gathering Co as wedding planners. The TGC team were such incredible partners throughout the whole process, from choosing a venue to selecting vendors all the way through to the day itself. I was dreading the stress of planning a wedding, and with the team’s help, I ended up with a wedding and experience that I would do all over again, exactly the same, no questions asked. The best feedback I can give is that, even though we felt like our planning team did all of the heavy lifting, we ended up with a day that multiple said looked and felt so much like us.

Gave me the wedding I always dreamed of

Chelsy, along with everyone that works at The Gathering Co, is truly amazing. My husband and I cannot thank her enough for making our wedding planning process and wedding day AMAZING. I had no stress and was able to fully enjoy every part of getting married. She is the best there is, it's as simple as that. Her design plans and creativity are perfectly tailored to you. This company is well worth it and more. I highly recommend.

Best decision we made

Chelsy and her team are phenomenally talented. From the beginning, we knew we had something special - Chelsy listened to us, advocated for us, brought our ideas to life, and made daunting tasks seem seamless. She is immensely capable and it was our pleasure put our trust in her. Our guests are still raving about what a wonderful time they had. Would hire her again in a heartbeat.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
