At first we didn't think we were going to hire a wedding coordinator, then after much thought, we decided we should hire a wedding coordinator, and now that the wedding is over, I would have to say, it was money well spent, and I am so thankful we hired Gather as our day-of-wedding-coordinator! Our venue was in Easton, WA (right outside of Cle Elum area) and it was hard finding local vendors since Easton really isn't much of a city. We came across Gather Leavenworth on Wedding Wire, hopped on the phone with them, didn't look elsewhere and went with Gather. They were more than happy to travel! We hired them pre-pandemic with an original wedding date of 9/26/2020, but then had to postpone to 2021, and they were super easy to work with! Even though we hired them for day-of-wedding coordination, they had a lot of wedding tools you can utilize months before, that I wish we utilized more. But with the pandemic, we were thrown in to a bit of a funk with wedding planning. Gather sent reminder emails throughout the planning and they were so helpful! They came out the day before our wedding to run the rehearsal and go through all the decor and everything. Then day of wedding, everything went so smoothly! Ashley and Tarcy were amazing to work with! I would highly recommend hiring them to coordinate your big day! Super happy with their services! read more

See all

Great experience working with Ashley and her team. They made the wedding planning process painless for my husband and I, and took away all the stress. Everyone kept telling me how stressful the process was and how I'd be worried about things coming together and I never felt stressed the entire time, and was able to completely enjoy my day knowing everything was taken care of. An event planner myself, I have a hard time going to an event and not paying attention to all the details but they had them all covered. It's helpful they have relationships with all the vendors in town and with their help, we put together a vendor dream team. We could not have been happier with the whole planning and execution of the whole wedding and know anyone that hires Gather Leavenworth will be equally as pleased. read more

Ashley with Gather was, without a doubt, our wedding MVP. We worked with Ashley for day-of coordinating as well as overall decor vision and execution, and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Gather's online portal is organized and has helpful resources to keep you on-track with planning, and our frequent check-in calls with Ashley were incredibly helpful. She happily answered all of our random wedding questions, both big and small, and helped us feel comfortable throughout the planning process. Not only did she help us with the basics of day-of coordinating and decor, she also ordered and rented any decor items we decided we needed and allowed us to ship items to her in order to reduce our workload. The week of the wedding she took over all vendor communications and was committed to ensuring our week was relaxing and stress-free. She helped us run a quick and smooth rehearsal, and it felt like she and her assistant, Rachel, were absolutely everywhere on the day of the wedding. We did not have to worry about a single detail, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. We've received many post-wedding compliments from guests about how smoothly our entire wedding weekend operated, and we could not have done it without Ashley, Rachel, and Gather. She's just the best! read more

Gather Leavenworth made our day seamless! Ashley is a pleasure to work with, so positive and patient. We were able to explain to her our vision, hand off everything and she put together everything we imagined and then some. The whole day was perfect. She has fantastic relationships with local vendors as well which make the day of a very collaborative process and it flows seamlessly. We didn't have to think about a thing the whole day, other than each other and all of our loved ones that were there to celebrate with us. read more

Ashley at Gather Leavenworth was an absolute joy to work with - she thought of ALL the details and made sure that everything went off smoothly for our wedding.

We were so incredibly happy on our wedding day, mostly because we could truly enjoy it since Ashley had our full trust and took care of everything. She was great with everyone...from shy kids to keeping the vendors on schedule to making sure we were taken care of.

I cannot speak highly enough of Ashley and the service she provides. I am a very thrifty gal and when I first began planning my wedding the idea of hiring a coordinator, even just for the day-of, seemed too extravagant. We were on a tight budget, and I knew that if the person we hired wasn't the right fit it could possibly even add stress to the day. One conversation with Ashley assuaged all of my doubts. She was so warm, so easy to talk to, and so committed to making that day exactly what WE wanted it to be. Even though we only hired her for day-of coordination, she was available for months ahead of time to trouble-shoot and help connect us with resources. I can only imagine how amazing it would have been to have hired her to plan the whole thing! She was flexible and patient with me when it took me long periods of time to get back to her, and she continually promised me that on the wedding day,she would take the reigns and neither I nor my family would have anything to worry about beyond enjoying ourselves. Boy, did she deliver on that promise. Beginning from the rehearsal the evening before the wedding, Ashley made it clear that she would be the point person for everything moving forward. She tied up loose ends, dealt with difficult family dynamics, and put out little fires throughout the day, all with a relaxed, positive attitude. The chorus from my family throughout the day and for weeks following was, "Thank goodness for Ashley". If you are considering hiring her, DO IT. Besides choosing to marry my husband, hiring her was probably the best wedding-related decision I made. read more
