Planning rooted in passion
Working with Gathered Softly Co. was a game-changer for our wedding day. Shannon brought our vision to life with impressive attention to detail and a work ethic that went above and beyond what we expected. Her communication throughout the planning process kept us informed and confident every step of the way. She genuinely cared about making our day special, and it showed in every decision and execution. If you're looking for a planner who will turn your dreams into reality, Shannon is absolutely the one to hire.
Shannon and her amazing team far exceeded my expectations from start to finish. When you're planning an event, you think you know exactly what you're doing and that you have everything under control—until you realize you're completely in over your head!
When I began my search for a day-of event coordinator, it just took the first phone call for me to know and trust Shannon's ability to bring my son and his bride's vision to life.
The bride said " It was everything I wanted but never could have imagined, it was like a dream". My son the groom said " Everything was perfect, I was catch in moments where everything felt perfect ".
Shannon was exceptionally detail-oriented, provided endless options that perfectly aligned with our vision from day one, and made the entire process feel seamless.
Beyond the logistics, Shannon's warmth, professionalism, and intentionality in every detail were truly unmatched. It is rare to find someone who uses their God-given talents so selflessly to bless others.
If you're in the DMV area, look no further—I promise, this is the gold standard for event services. Gathered Softly Co. creates unforgettable experiences, and I recommend them without hesitation. Trust, we will be working together next year for my 30th wedding anniversary ❤️ .
Shannon, thank you from the bottom of my (our) hearts for making my son and daughter-in-law's wedding day/ reception so incredibly memorable. Your dedication, guidance, poise, honesty, advocacy, kindness, excellence, and "don't worry I got you", will never be forgotten.
I highly recommend Gathered Softly Co. over and over again!
Thank you for making June 27, 2026 stand ten toes down as a day in our of lives that will never be forgotten.
