What Clients Are Saying
kind words from our happy hosts . . .
"From the moment I contacted her, Staci was incredibly helpful. Staci planned a 50th Birthday party in our home and it was a huge success! She was organized, professional and arranged everything down to the very last detail. She went above and beyond with communication between myself and vendors, site visits and even facilitated a tasting for us! She is outstanding! "
Kelly Way, Carlsbad, CA
"So happy that I chose Staci and Gather Event Collective to help me with my daughter's bridal luncheon. Staci helped me every step of the way and made "day of" a breeze. From the wonderful suggestions complete with links to make things easy for me to the fabulous food and beverage she put together the whole event was perfect because of her help. Don't hesitate to call her!"
