What We’re About

McKenna Gatherings started with us, our own wedding, and a simple thought: there has to be a better way to do this.

We're a husband-and-wife team who love bringing people together, getting outside, making things with our hands, and finding ways to make life's big moments feel a little more effortless. Between Kett's years behind the bar and love of the outdoors and Ashley's obsession with preserving flowers and creating thoughtful details, we've built McKenna Gatherings around the things we genuinely love doing.

We're based in Oregon and work throughout the Pacific Northwest. Most importantly, we're here to make your experience easier, more personal, and more fun. No unnecessary packages. No surprise add-ons. No nickel-and-diming. Just good people, thoughtful work, and experiences made for you.


Our Approach

Personal Experiences. No Unnecessary Extras.

When we planned our own wedding, we experienced firsthand how quickly costs can add up and how complicated the process can become. We started McKenna Gatherings because we wanted to offer something different.

We believe in straightforward pricing, flexible services, and creating experiences that actually fit what you need. No cookie-cutter packages, surprise add-ons, or nickel-and-diming.

Just thoughtful service from a small team that genuinely cares about making your experience easier.

A Few Things
You Might Be
Wondering.

How far in advance should I book?
It depends on the service and time of year. Some dates book well in advance, while others can accommodate shorter timelines. The sooner you reach out, the more flexibility we'll have, but it's always worth asking, even if your event is coming up soon.
Do you charge extra for every little thing?
Nope. We know firsthand how frustrating unexpected event costs can be. We believe in straightforward pricing and clear communication, so you'll know exactly what's included before committing. Any additional costs will be discussed and agreed upon upfront.
Can you work with vendors I already have?
Absolutely. We're happy to work alongside your existing vendors to make sure our services fit smoothly into your plans. There's no need to start from scratch or change the team you've already chosen.
Can I book more than one service?
Of course! If you're interested in multiple McKenna Gatherings services, let us know. We'll discuss what you're looking for and confirm availability for each service.
How does payment work?
Once we've discussed your needs, we'll provide a proposal outlining the services, pricing, and payment terms. You'll have a clear understanding of the costs and what's included before moving forward.
