Gatherwell is for couples planning their own wedding who want expert guidance without hiring a full-service planner. As a virtual wedding planner, I help couples work through decisions, compare options, and figure out what makes the most sense for their wedding, priorities, and budget through hourly online consultations. If you want to stay in control but don’t want to figure everything out on your own, Gatherwell was built for you.

Couples usually book a virtual wedding planning consultation at one of four points during planning:

• Just engaged and not sure where to start

• Trying to define the overall look, feel, and direction for the wedding

• Mid-planning and needing help working through decisions or comparing options

• Near the finish line and wanting a final review before the wedding
  

You don’t have to be at a specific stage to benefit from virtual wedding planning. Whether you need help with one decision or ongoing guidance, you can book support whenever you need it.

Virtual wedding planning allows couples to get expert, personalized guidance remotely when they need it most. It is designed for couples who want to plan themselves, but want expert input along the way.

Couples meet with their planner through scheduled hourly video or phone sessions to talk through specific questions, from budget, venue and vendors to timeline and logistics. Gatherwell acts as your sounding board and strategic guide throughout the planning process.

The Planning Partner is designed for couples who want ongoing support, not just a one-time conversation. Along with scheduled planning sessions, you’ll have support between meetings to help keep planning moving forward.

In addition to guidance and decision support, I can help with the research and legwork that often takes the most time. That may include comparing vendors, reviewing materials, gathering inspiration, researching options, or pulling together curated recommendations based on your needs and budget. Whether you’re looking for signage ideas, favors, linens, welcome bags, Etsy finds, Facebook Marketplace options, or vendor recommendations, I’ll help narrow the field so you’re not starting from scratch.

Many couples choose the Planning Partner because they want both a trusted sounding board and help with the research, comparison, and decision-making that comes with planning a wedding.

After booking, you’ll receive a short planning questionnaire so I can understand where you are in the planning process and what you’d like to focus on. If you have contracts, vendor proposals, timelines, inspiration boards, or other materials you’d like reviewed, you’ll have the opportunity to share them before our session so we can make the most of our time together.

No. While weddings are a core part of my work, I also support milestone celebrations and personal events such as anniversaries, birthdays, welcome parties, showers, and other meaningful gatherings.

In addition to personal events, I also work with brands, executives, and entrepreneurs on executive positioning, thought leadership, and brand and communications strategy through Gatherwell’s consulting services.
