Brenda Cali with Gatherings for Good helped me create our perfect wedding. We hired Gatherings for Good at the beginning of our 9 month engagement and throughout the engagement process she kept us on track and made the engagement care free! Every now and again we would get an email from Brenda reminding us of what we should be planning and often times meeting with us to go over what we had planned. Brenda was always available when we needed to meet, was very organized and had many helpful suggestions for us. Our rehearsal was seamless because of Brenda and her expertise! My husband is from England and weddings are a little different there. She helped organize the British lads to help them feel comfortable knowing their role for the big day! On the big day we had a lot of decor items that Brenda and Gatherings for Good was able to decorate exactly how we asked and as a bride I never had one worry during the day that things would not be done how we had wanted them! The day was perfect and as the evening progressed I had no notice that Brenda was orchestrating the wedding. We had met before the big day and thoroughly discussed everything with her and during our wedding we were able to enjoy each other and our guests as she kept the evening flowing! At the end of the evening we were able to leave as she carefully gathered all our items and organized them back into the provided boxes. We trusted Brenda and Gatherings for Good for our most important day and it truly was perfect! I would highly recommend Gatherings for Good - the price point was reasonable and most importantly Brenda was kind and super fun to work with! We are now fortunate to say that our wedding planner has become one of our friends! Thank you for all you did for us and we know other brides will be lucky when they can call you their wedding planner!

Rhonda and her team did an amazing job on our wedding! We had to plan from another state as we were getting married in a different state than where we were living. It went flawlessly! Her calm assurance and meticulous planning throughout the months leading up to our wedding made our day everything we had envisioned. Zero stress and a beautiful day made for a very happy bride and groom ❤️ Our sincerest thanks to Rhonda and Team.

I would recommend her to anyone wanting to elope, she was great!

Frankie was amazing! I booked the Wedding for Two package and she handled everything including the set up of chairs, officiating, and photography. The location at Butterfly Beach was perfect! We met a couple weeks before the wedding date so she can show us the location. We were running a bit late on the wedding date but she was very accommodating. We ended up leaving our marriage license at home and started freaking out, but she met with us the day after to get it from us. Highly recommend her services!

Always beautiful!! I love it here.

We hired the Radio Prophets to play at our wedding ceremony, wedding cocktail hour, and wedding reception. They were spectacular and our wedding guests are still raving about them almost one year later. Behind the scenes, Gerry was fantastic to work with. He was so knowledgeable about equipment and logistics and provided us with playlist and set list examples that were really helpful during the wedding planning. We are so glad that we found the Radio Prophets and cherish all of the wonderful memories they helped us make.

Joel cut my hair in an angled bob. He did a great job and it looks very sharp. He took a lot of time and pains to make the angles look just right and to mimic my jawline precisely.
