My name is Holly and Gatherings is a Boise wedding planner specializing in events that break the mold. I am passionate about planning special moments for couples that want an unconventional wedding day. I strive to work alongside them to create a day that is authentically theirs. After the pandemic made my husband and I drastically change our wedding plans, I discovered the beauty of unique, perso

madeleine + andrew grabbed pre-ceremony drinks at with their wedding party instead of formal portraits and i love how these shots by turned out.

this is one of the many ways they opted to make the day feel more authentic to them - opting out of traditions they didn’t love and substituting them with whatever felt more authentic to their story.

i really loved working with them on planning their day because of this. my heart sings when couples want to do whatever makes them happy on their day, and throw out the notion of “should” or “have to” 💕

Kelly + Justin had one of the most fun wedding parties and wedding PARTY I have seen! Every time I came to check in on the wedding party at the hotel, they were dancing and singing at the top of their lungs, hyping up Kelly. And then when it came time for the dance floor, every single age group was out there until the end of the night. Everyone danced their hearts out and it was one of the most packed dance floors of the season so far.

I absolutely love when I see my couples let loose and enjoy themselves once all the wedding day “to-do’s” are complete. After all - it is your wedding day…it should be fun!

It is so clear the incredible + fun community they have cultivated. From loving the little ones in their family so much, to surrounding themselves with the most fun friends, the love was definitely in the air and the positive vibes were contagious!

emma + colton’s day in the mountains

they were such a fun couple to have the opportunity to work with. how they navigated wedding planning while being full-time doctors while also giving birth to their son (adorable jude!) ALL WHILE being the kindest + calmest couple ever will never not be impressive to me.

emma came to stanley regularly growing up, and it was such a beautiful full circle moment for them to return for their beautiful day.

their day was one full of sunshine, great music, small moments, delicious food + drinks, and dancing the night away under the moon 🌙

I love any chance I get to work with her, as well as the rest of this amazing vendor team. so blownn away by their talents. designing styled shoots & collaborating with vendors prior to wedding season reignites my creative spark & helps me bring fresh ideas to my couples so I can continue to create authentic + unique wedding days for them 🤍

Happy 5th gotcha day to my daughter. Things I have learned from her:

- Rest is important (at least 18 hours of it per day preferably)
- Boundaries are imperative
- Love is not always reciprocated
- Outside can be scary
- It’s ok to need to charge your social battery
- Parties are sometimes too loud
- Bedtime snuggles are the best
- Getting left behind totally stinks
- It’s ok to not respond to requests from others
- Make sure to get your daily vitamin D (preferably via a patch on the dining room floor)
- Christmas (ornaments) are the best
- Billie can sometimes be annoying

S + F wanted to leave behind wedding traditions and just do a day that felt “them”.

So we filled their day with meaningful touches + personal elements. Here are some things I love that they did:

+ went backpacking the week before their wedding for some quality time together pre-wedding
+ had guests stand in a circle during the ceremony so they felt closer to them
+ the mother of the bride made all the flower arrangements. She also made the bride’s dress!
+ opted for pie instead of cake because they loveeee .cafe
+ wanted colorful napkins (love me some color!)

Who’s excited for T + L’s big day?! 🤚🏻

Excited to see what more glowy magic captures 🌙

You’re engaged! What an exciting time. Friends and family are likely already asking you tons of questions you may not know the answer to - after all, you just got engaged and would like to soak in this feeling! Once you’ve celebrated and spent time living in the moment, here are three conversation topics I want you to have with your partner!

👰 Other than you and your partner, who will be involved in the decision-making process?

💰 What is your budget comfort zone and who is contributing?

💍 What are your and your partner's top priorities for the wedding day? Make a list of your top 3 and see what you have in common. This could be music, food, decor, location, etc.

Check out my blog post for more tips!

05/03/2023

One of the biggest mistakes that engaged couples make in their wedding planning process is booking their wedding planner after the venue. We may be biased, but hiring a professional planner should be the first step for every couple as they start to plan their big day, and here are a few reasons why:

📋 Has a large database of venues (I have information on over 80 venues in Idaho alone!)

📋 Guides you to choosing a venue that will fit your needs and overall budget

📋 Reviews timing and contracts

📋 Makes sure there is a solid weather plan 

📋 Provides realistic pros and cons, especially when it comes to capacity
