Working Together

♡ Hello. I help you create intimate gatherings that feel warm, meaningful, and effortlessly welcoming — without feeling overdone or stressful to pull together.

Maybe you have a special occasion in mind, but the little details are starting to feel like a lot. You want the gathering to feel personal and thoughtful, but you also want to be present with the people you invited.

Through styling and creative direction, I shape the details that set the atmosphere — from dessert tables and memory tables to story-inspired touches and welcoming moments — so the gathering feels personal, inviting, and thoughtfully put together.

Whether it's a book club inspired by the story, a celebration of life shaped by meaningful memories, or a simple gathering made special through intentional details, each experience is designed to feel unique to the people at its center.

My role is to bring a different perspective, help you see the possibilities, and make the process enjoyable from the first idea to the final detail.

From first inquiry to the final setup, my process is clear and supportive — simple proposals, an easy agreement, and dependable communication throughout.

Below, you'll find a simple overview of how it works and the types of gatherings I offer.

Signature Gatherings

Intimate, atmosphere-led gatherings for the moments you want to make meaningful.

Starting around $250

Signature Gatherings are designed for hosts who want to bring people together, but don’t want to spend the entire experience managing the details.

Maybe you’re planning a birthday dinner, a slow weekend brunch, a shower, an anniversary, or a simple gathering because you miss sitting around a table with the people you love.

You have the reason to gather. You may just need help bringing the feeling to life.

I create a cohesive atmosphere through intentional styling, layered details, and thoughtfully curated pieces that transform your space into something warm, inviting, and personal. Each gathering is shaped around your story, your season, and the feeling you want your guests to experience.

The focus is not on creating something overdone. It’s on creating a space where you can be fully present with your guests while everything around you feels beautifully considered.

Includes atmosphere styling, curated vintage pieces, candlelight, light floral elements, and setup before guests arrive.

This could look like:

  • a candlelit birthday dinner at home

  • a softly styled brunch with seasonal details

  • an intimate anniversary dinner that feels personal and relaxed

  • a meaningful evening centered around conversation and connection

  • a gathering with custom menus, candlelight, and thoughtful finishing touches

Experience Gatherings

Concept-driven gatherings created for hosts who want something beyond the expected.

Starting around $475

Experience Gatherings are designed for moments where the gathering itself is part of the story.

Maybe you’re dreaming up a book club that feels like stepping into the world of the novel, a creative workshop that feels thoughtful and inspiring, or a gathering that brings people together through a shared experience.

You have the idea. I help shape the atmosphere, details, and flow that bring it to life.

Through creative direction, thoughtful styling, and layered design elements, I develop a cohesive experience that considers not only how the space looks, but how guests feel as the gathering unfolds.

These gatherings are expressive, personal, and intentionally designed to encourage connection, conversation, and participation.

Includes creative direction, atmosphere and styling design, layered tablescapes, and experiential details

This could look like:

  • a book club gathering inspired by the setting and atmosphere of the story

  • a creative brunch with guided conversation, prompts, or interactive elements

  • a seasonal workshop or hands-on creative gathering

  • a themed dinner centered around music, storytelling, or shared creativity

  • an intentionally curated social evening designed to encourage connection and guest participation

Celebrations of Life

Gentle, thoughtful gatherings centered on remembrance, presence, and honoring a life through atmosphere.

Starting around $350

These gatherings are approached with care and intention, creating a calm and supportive environment for reflection, memory, and connection.

I design the atmosphere to feel grounded and comforting, incorporating meaningful details that help honor a life and create space for shared presence.

The focus is on creating an environment that feels gentle, respectful, and thoughtfully held.

Includes memorial styling, memory tables or focal displays, candlelight, floral elements, and full setup before guests arrive.

This could look like:

  • a softly styled memorial gathering at home

  • a remembrance dinner with personal objects and photographs

  • printed memory details or tribute tables

  • incorporating personal objects, photos, and meaningful details that reflect their life and personality

  • using flowers, colors, and textures that feel familiar and true to them

  • optional memory films created from personal photos and videos

A Note on What’s Included

Each gathering is thoughtfully designed using a combination of curated styling pieces and your existing home or venue elements where appropriate.

Food, beverage service, staffing, large rentals, and venue booking are not included.

Standard dining ware is typically provided by the client or arranged separately depending on the needs of the gathering.

Additional enhancements such as printed materials, custom details, or expanded styling elements may be added based on your experience.

A simple way to work together

Working together is designed to feel clear, supported, and easy from the very beginning.

Once you inquire, I’ll review your submission and we’ll begin with a short discovery call to get a sense of your gathering vision, scope, and overall feel. This helps ensure the proposal is thoughtfully tailored to you, rather than one-size-fits-all.

After our call, I’ll share a proposal that reflects your event in detail. If it feels aligned, I’ll send a short agreement and retainer to reserve your date, and we’ll begin shaping the creative direction for your experience.

From there, I’ll guide the planning process so everything feels cohesive, considered, and stress-free — with clear communication at each step along the way.

If you ever have questions, I’m always here to help.

Creative Design Enhancements

Designed to further personalize and elevate the gathering experience

Starting at $50+

These additions are created to bring additional depth, detail, and visual cohesion to your gathering — enhancing the overall atmosphere in a way that feels intentional and aligned with the experience.

Enhancements may include:

  • custom menus or invitations

  • welcome notes or printed details

  • place cards and seating elements

  • printed signage or small visual details

  • curated music playlists

  • designed paper goods or table materials

  • small conceptual or decorative touches

Each element is designed as part of the overall experience, rather than standalone decoration.

Because many enhancements involve custom design, sourcing, or production, pricing varies depending on scope and complexity. Production costs are billed separately when applicable.

Starting at $175

Natural, documentary-style photography focused on preserving the feeling of your gathering as it unfolds.

Coverage highlights include:

  • atmosphere and environment

  • candid interactions

  • meaningful details

  • quiet, in-between moments

  • emotional presence

This is a gentle, unobtrusive approach to capturing the experience as it naturally happens — focused on emotion and atmosphere rather than posed imagery.

Coverage length and deliverables vary depending on the scale of the gathering.

Specialty Rentals & Heirloom Pieces

Available as an optional enhancement for select gatherings

For gatherings that call for additional layering, atmosphere, or highly specific visual details, specialty styling pieces may be available beyond standard gathering inclusions.

Available pieces may include antique candleholders, collected vintage vessels, heirloom serving pieces, real silverware, layered textiles, curated cookware such as cast iron and Le Creuset pieces, antique urns, and other thoughtful objects that add warmth, character, and visual richness to the gathering.

For more immersive or experience-centered gatherings, unique vintage and conceptual pieces — such as typewriters, ink wells, collected books, antique strollers, and other storytelling elements — may also be incorporated to help shape the atmosphere and overall experience.

Each piece is selected intentionally to complement the overall atmosphere and creative direction of the gathering.

Because many items are vintage, collected, or one-of-a-kind, availability varies and specialty rentals are quoted separately based on the needs of the gathering.

Memory & Celebration Films

Optional storytelling enhancement

Starting at $175

Thoughtfully edited photo and video films created to celebrate a meaningful life moment, relationship, season, or memory.

These films are often shown during gatherings and are designed to feel warm, emotional, and personal rather than overly produced or traditional slideshow presentations.

Films may incorporate:

  • photographs

  • short video clips

  • music

  • written messages

  • family memories

  • voice recordings or spoken tributes

Especially meaningful for:

  • celebrations of life

  • weddings and showers

  • anniversaries

  • milestone birthdays

  • retirement gatherings

  • family celebrations

Each film is approached with an emphasis on emotional tone, storytelling, and atmosphere.

Because editing time and project complexity vary, pricing is based on the amount of content, organization required, and overall scope of the film.

Clients are responsible for providing photos, video clips, written materials, and requested music selections in a reasonably organized format prior to editing. Additional archival organization or extensive revision requests may incur additional fees.

An Invitation

If you are imagining a gathering that feels thoughtful, welcoming, and full of meaningful connection, I would love to hear from you.

Each experience begins in conversation, where we explore your space, ideas, and the feeling you want your gathering to hold.

I look forward to connecting with you.
