About Gather and Cheer

Gather and Cheer

Planning meaningful gatherings, full of cheer!

Hi. My name is Eva, great to meet you! Thinking of trusting me with planning your event? Here is a little about me. I am a Vashon Island native, former Chicago dweller and currently live with my husband and two wild boys in West Seattle. I have 10 years of experience of planning + managing gatherings for as little as 20 and as many as 500. From intimate benefactor dinners to elegant fundraisers to festive and modern weddings, I have been involved in just about every aspect of an event that you can think of.

Gather + Cheer? What kind of name is that? It comes from the idea that a great event should involve a gathering of old and new friends, family, co-workers, neighbors or just about anyone! In addition to this, you should be able to focus on the cheer among your guests and not worry about the details. I would love to work alongside you to plan your best party yet, fabulous fundraising event, an unforgettable wedding or another type of gathering!

    I chose Gather Cheer after a suggestion from our venue and then in reading her reviews I literally teared up at the way clients described how her services made their dreams come true. And here I am on the other side of Eva’s amazing service, still feeling emotional every time I think of how much care she put into our day and how perfect it all turned out, thanks to her. From the moment we met her and handed over my vision for my wedding (which I had specifically in my mind but was bad at communicating and was nervous I wouldn’t be able to give up control and have a “stranger” deliver) she made me feel seen and understood and completely at ease. She feels like an old friend while being patient, calm, kind and understanding. If you’re worried about being able to hand over control of your vision and taste, or having to work so closely with a stranger, or if you worry about how your big day will feel - do yourself a favor and choose Gather Cheer. She executed my vision perfectly, made me feel at ease through the entire process, and delivered on the day of my dreams I never thought possible. I can’t say enough about how truly impressed and grateful I am for Eva and the service she provided to us. My day would not have been the dream-come-true that it was without her. I can’t recommend her enough and can only imagine that anyone who chooses her for planning important events will come away feeling the same.

    We are at almost at a loss for words as we write this review for Gather Cheer. Hiring Eva is what took our wedding to the next level. She was always available for questions, concerns, and follow-up. She handled a number of administrative items like organizing transportation, walkthroughs, and other details with our vendors. She also offered irreplaceable suggestions to make the day smoother or to make us and our guests more comfortable. There was so much behind-the-scenes work she did for us, that we're sure we're not aware of most of it. Not only is Eva organized, she is also so kind and relatable which was what we needed through this process. We walked into (and out of!) our wedding day absolutely blown away, and really that is because of Eva. We cannot thank her enough and would recommend her for any planning needs.

    We hired Eva as our partial wedding planner about a year out from our date. We had the venue booked (actually found Eva through our venue!) but she helped us sort out the rest of our vendors. We had a couple of calls to get to know each other, for her to learn our style and what we were looking for. Then Eva gave us a month by month task list to break down the overwhelming-ness of planning a wedding into manageable chunks. She researched vendors, reached out on behalf when requested, and sent us reminders to kept the process moving. Leading up to the wedding she joined calls with the DJ and caterer to make sure we were all on the same page and directed all our vendors on where they needed to be when. Each call I just felt so thankful we had someone to make sure nothing fell through the cracks. The day of our wedding went so incredibly smoothly and Eva did an amazing job. I didn't even see the venue until I was walking down the aisle and got to have a peaceful, fun day because Eva took care of everything. I 100% recommend her!
