FAQs

Who created The Gathering Concierge?

Hi, I'm Stacy McGuigan, a hospitality expert with 15+ years of experience across hotel event management and private celebrations. I created Gathering Blueprints because I believe hosting shouldn't require a degree in party planning. I've done the thinking so you can just enjoy the gathering.

What is a blueprint?

Think of it as your gathering game plan, totally done for you. Everything you need to confidently bring people together, from the first invitation to the last guest out the door. No guessing, no starting from scratch, no stress spiral at 11pm the night before.

How much does a Gathering Blueprint cost?

Blueprints start at $18 and vary depending on the type of gathering. Every blueprint is a one-time purchase - no subscriptions, no hidden fees, just a complete plan you own forever.

How do I get my blueprint?

The second you purchase, it's in your inbox and ready to go. No waiting, no shipping, no "allow 5-7 business days." Just download and start planning.

What exactly is included?

A complete event plan, hosting flow, styling and atmosphere ideas, menu and drink inspiration, and all those thoughtful little details that make your guests feel genuinely taken care of. Basically everything I'd bring to the table if I were planning it with you.

Do I need to be an experienced host?

Absolutely not. These blueprints were built specifically for the person who wants to host something great but has no idea where to start. If you've ever said "I wish I could pull something like that off" - this is for you!

Can I customize it?

100%. Add your guest list, your date, your personal touches, your family's weird inside jokes. Make it feel completely like yours - because it is!

What kind of gatherings are these for?

Honestly? All of them. The Gathering Concierge's Gathering Blueprints are built for home hosts planning backyard BBQs and dinners, business leaders hosting team celebrations or events for clients and employees, HOA and community leaders planning neighborhood gatherings, and the sober-curious crowd looking for mocktail nights that don't revolve around alcohol. If you're bringing people together, there's a blueprint for it.

Is this a physical product?

Nope, it's a digital download, which means no waiting, no shipping, and no "where did I put that thing?" It lands in your inbox the second you purchase and it's ready to go whenever you are.

What if I have questions before buying?

Just reach out through the contact page, I'm a real person and I actually read every message. If you're not sure which blueprint is right for your occasion, I'm happy to help you figure it out. That's kind of my thing. 😊
