Aligned Gatherings specializes in planning and structuring intimate corporate events under 50 people, including client and prospect dinners, executive appreciation dinners, partner roundtables, and strategic team gatherings. These are designed to support business goals like relationship growth, customer retention, and revenue acceleration. Our approach focuses on strategic alignment, logistics management, and experience flow so teams can host with confidence.

Strategic event planning goes beyond vendor logistics and styling. It includes mapping outcomes tied to business goals (such as pipeline movement or client retention), curating guest lists aligned to those goals, and designing the event flow so attendees leave with stronger trust and engagement. At Aligned Gatherings, logistics are approached as risk management, ensuring the experience reinforces your brand and supports measurable business impact.

For strategic gatherings, it’s ideal to begin planning 6–8 weeks in advance. This timeframe allows for goal alignment sessions, venue selection, vendor coordination, and thorough run‑of‑show design. For recurring series or complex needs, planning earlier provides space to refine format and guest journey strategy, leading to better outcomes.

The planning fee covers strategic alignment sessions, venue and vendor research, guest experience and seating design, timeline and flow development, contingency planning, and preparation documentation. The fee does not include physical event costs (such as venue rental, catering, or travel), which are covered separately by the client.

Aligned Gatherings focuses on planning and preparation. We design and coordinate every detail in advance so your team can host on‑site with confidence. Your team leads the engagement during the event itself, supported by clear documentation and a thoughtfully crafted experience designed to minimize surprises.

Absolutely. By aligning guest lists, flow, and messaging with clear business objectives, strategic event planning can accelerate pipeline conversations, strengthen client relationships, and turn gatherings into measurable business assets rather than isolated social moments.
