OUR STORY

The Gathering Co. was started after a long day in her corporate cubicle as a Marketing Assistant and an email to her husband saying “it’s about time”. Chelsy comes from a large family with a mixture of event creatives and military backgrounds, and says this has given her the best balance of structure and art. Before TGC she always had designed and created work for others, hosting and curating moments of joys, so it made sense when this passion became too much of a priority to not do something about it. After 6 months of working 2 jobs, she chose her company and ran for it - and hasn't turned back since.

Through years of learning, growing, praying through doubts + direction, and meeting vulnerability + self-confidence, this company has and continues to be made of strength, a deep love for people, and a passion for unique + intentional gatherings. Chelsy's passions for the future - - She wants (and we know she will) to own 3 business by the time she's 30, strive for more + more balance in her personal + professional life, see other creatives thrive, continue to grow in creative knowledge, and to always seek continued maturity as a designer +planner for her beloved couples, vendors, and teammates!

OUR TEAM

We're a local event planning company to the beautiful Carolinas + beyond.

We have a RAD team of 10 that each bring a touch of their own unique personality and creative talents to TGC. Our creative corner of this industry started out of our deep love for love, design, and creating a gathering so special to your unique story + style.
