Only one word can describe my experience with Gathered Softly: Perfection. Shay was the perfect event planner. She was responsive and, perhaps most importantly, had an amazing vision for my birthday celebration. When I had my first look at the transformed dining room, I was in awe. I will absolutely work with her again and have no hesitation in recommending her to others.

Working with Gathered Softly was an absolute pleasure. From our first conversation, Shannon made the entire process feel like a breeze. She listened closely to our vision, asked the right questions, and delivered it with a level of passion and attention to detail that exceeded every expectation.When we ran into an unexpected situation with the venue, Shannon adapted without missing a beat. She handled it with such grace and calm that we never felt the stress, and the solution she came up with excelled beyond anything we could have hoped for. It was a true testament to her professionalism and creativity.She went above and beyond at every step, anticipating our needs before we even voiced them and handling every detail so we could simply enjoy the experience. The final result was exactly what we had imagined, and then some.We would recommend Shannon to anyone looking for an event designer/planner who truly cares about bringing your vision to life. Thank you for making our event so special!

We worked with Gathered Softly Co. for a baby boy shower using a “Modern Little Explorer” theme with soft neutrals, muted blues, and natural textures. What stood out immediately was their professionalism, organization, and attention to detail. Communication was clear, timely, and reassuring throughout the entire process, which made planning feel effortless.
The setup was executed on schedule and with precision, and the final result looked thoughtfully curated rather than overdone. Every element felt intentional and cohesive, and the space was transformed beautifully without feeling cluttered. You could tell a lot of care and experience went into both the planning and execution.
Guests continuously complimented the décor and overall flow of the event, and several asked for the vendor’s information. It’s rare to find a company that balances creativity with such a high level of professionalism, but Gathered Softly Co. does exactly that.
If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely invested in delivering a quality experience, I highly recommend Gathered Softly Co. They truly set the standard.
