Logistics

    In fact, those are some of our favorite places to gather.

    Whether it’s a lakeside cabin, meaningful family property, backyard dinner, or tucked-away Airbnb, we love transforming ordinary spaces into something memorable.

  • For our Table For Two experience, a table and seating for two are included as part of the overall experience.

    For larger gatherings, table and chair rentals are available as an add-on depending on guest count and event needs.

    We are currently in the process of sourcing a collection of beautiful vintage and antique seating so we can offer thoughtfully layered chair options for gatherings in the future.

  • Most rentals are designed to feel relaxed and stress-free.

    We typically deliver and style your gathering either the evening before or the morning of your event, depending on timing and logistics.

    Pickup generally takes place the following day.

    We’ll coordinate timing with you so everything feels easy and unhurried.

Pricing & Payment

  • Our pricing is intentionally scaled based on guest count and event needs.

    Signature Collections begin at a base rate of $425 and is meant for a full table of 8 guests, additional guests are thoughtfully added at a lower per-person rate for larger gatherings.

    Custom Gatherings vary based on scope, sourcing, styling, and overall event needs.

  • A signed agreement and a 50% retainer are required to reserve your event date.

    The remaining balance is due two weeks before your gathering.

    Because we intentionally limit the number of events we take on, dates are not held without a booking retainer.

  • To reserve your date, a signed agreement and a 50% deposit are required. The remaining balance is due two weeks prior to your event.

  • No hidden fees here.

    We have intentionally priced our offerings to reflect the time, care, setup, styling, delivery, pickup, and clean up involved.

    There are no additional service fees or incidental charges beyond your proposal unless additional services are requested or damage occurs beyond normal wear and tear.

  • We understand that gatherings are meant to be lived in, not tiptoed through.

    Normal wear and the occasional small mishap happen.

    However, significant damage, missing items, or excessive breakage beyond normal use may incur a replacement fee depending on the item.

    We’ll always communicate openly and fairly should anything arise.

Food / Florals / Vendors

  • We do not provide food or catering directly.

    However, we’re always happy to recommend some of our favorite local chefs, caterers, charcuterie artists, and other thoughtfully chosen vendors.

  • We include seasonal floral accents for bud vases and tabletop styling.

    For larger floral installations or full floral design, we’re happy to recommend florist partners or collaborate alongside your florist.
