*Deep Breath.* I’d like to introduce you to Grandest Gatherings. I don’t know about you, but ever since staying at home became the new norm, I really started to miss my family and friends. There’s something magical that happens when we gather. Whether it be around a cozy table full of food and candlelight or sitting around a campfire, every gathering is an opportunity to deepen our shared humanity. Gatherings are dazzling opportunities for meaning, dreaming, and purpose.

At a time when coming together is challenging, it will be more important than ever to deepen our connections with one another when we can gather again. Grandest Gatherings blossomed from a singular hope and mission—to provide a human-centered approach to designing and planning intimate celebrations that are meaningful, memorable, and purposeful. Because it’s our human-to-human links that make the most meaningful moments of our lives.

Hospitality, entertaining, and creating intimate spaces have always been a part of me. I grew up creating spaces for people to connect. Just ask my Mom—backyard tea parties, homemade forts in the woods by our home, themed parties for every occasion, and dinners under the stars complete with twinkle lights and foraged florals were just a few of the things I did with my time growing up. It wasn’t until now that I realized the importance of this passion; that people in all stages of life are in need of spaces to connect in to deepen our shared humanity and connections to one another. More now than ever.

Grandest Gatherings is all about making the little moments grand. Just because our events will be smaller in guest count moving forward, they don’t need to be to be in design and details. Specializing in elopements, micro weddings, and intimate events I combine a collaborative approach to planning with a thoughtful, holistic approach to design that infuses moments of honesty, art, and delight into celebrating life’s biggest moments in the most intimate way possible.

Even though there is a long road of learning and defining the new meaning of gathering together, I can't wait to share this adventure with you. And if you want to follow along, follow me on Instagram and Facebook.
