Types of Gatherings We Plan

Aligned Gatherings specializes in intimate, relationship-driven events, including:

  • Client and prospect dinners

  • Customer appreciation events

  • Partner and investor dinners

  • Founder-hosted small gatherings

  • Recurring dinner series for growing teams

These are intentionally under 50 guests and designed to support business development, retention, and growth.

What’s Handled Before an Event

Long before guests arrive, we handle the planning details that allow your team to show up confidently:

  • Event goals and success metrics

  • Guest experience flow and run-of-show

  • Venue research and contract coordination

  • Catering and beverage planning

  • Timeline creation and communication materials

  • Vendor coordination and confirmations

  • Budget management and documentation

By the time your event arrives, everything has been thought through, documented, and handed off clearly to your team
