testimonials

"I am one of the owners of The Raleigh Girls Club and can attest that The Art of Gathering is the best in the business! Maya was so helpful throughout the entire planning and execution process of having luxury picnics at our garden party event. She was always there to answer any questions and help with anything we needed. Her picnic setups are also beautiful! Loved working with The Art of Gathering and cannot recommend them enough!"

"My proposal was set up by AG and my fiancé this past weekend and it was a dream! The rain made it even more romantic! They were sooo helpful during the whole process and even had a photographer who was able to be added on last minute! The work they give is TOP QUALITY! They are so kind and VERY HELPFUL! If you’re having a proposal or date night your partner NEEDS to book a luxury picnic with The Art of Gathering!"

Raven + Matt
"Where to begin?!? We had possibly one of the best dates ever thanks to AG! It was so special, beautiful, romantic, and they even were able to have gluten-free options available for me! It was so incredible to just show up and have this movie-worthy picnic and date set up just for us! We loved all the special touches with the games and vintage radio! The charcuterie was incredible and the entire aesthetic just made both of our jaws drop! Talk about a date we’ll never forget! Can’t recommend them enough!

"Maya & Sahar have such a gift for creating gorgeous, memorable experiences for their customers! I attended a picnic to celebrate a friend’s birthday and it truly exceeded all of our expectations. There were so many delicate touches that made it a truly luxurious evening, from the food to the decor. I look forward to celebrating with AG many times in the future!

"Very pleased with our luxury picnic experience with The Art of Gathering! Maya helped us plan a birthday picnic for about 20 guests and was very responsive and patient as we figured out the details. The result was everything we had hoped for, with some extra touches that really made the event special. The entire AG team was very courteous and helpful. Thank you so much!"
