Struggling with last-minute event planning?

Picture this: You’re in your first week on the job, eager to make your mark. You must meet your team, grasp the culture, and schedule meetings. You also discover that you’ll have to plan the biggest get-together of the quarter in two weeks. Not just any event but a memorable gathering that leaves a lasting impression on your team. Daunting, right?

Imagine if planning this event is on top of your existing job. You’re new to event planning, and it’s not exactly your forte. (Maybe you aren’t even a people person). The clock is ticking, and you’re overwhelmed. You scour the internet. But generic advice feels like nibbling on a plain cracker—it’s bland. Plus, it doesn’t fit your unique business flavour and goals. What do you even search for?

There’s another option: Customised, expert advice and guidance quickly. From someone who’s a real person (not AI). Someone with experience in creating meaningful and impactful gatherings. Someone who takes the time—and care—to learn about you.

Enter The Gathering Tune-Up: Your on-demand meaningful event sounding board.

An hour-long event consulting call where you can pour out your in-person event-related questions and doubts. Imagine getting immediate answers, a tailored action plan, and even coaching from an expert who understands your needs. So you can gain the confidence to be the host with the most and impress your team without breaking a sweat.

Without scrambling through the process. Or worrying about burning up your precious time.

Quick! I take only a few clients every month.

(Need more guidance over time? Help to stay on track with your planning? You can book additional event consulting calls or monthly check-ins.)

This event coaching call is for you if:

You’re an HR manager & leader

You know how to help your team members and employees succeed, not how to design meaningful events that celebrate them.

You’re a conference organiser or planner

You struggle to see the big picture of your gathering because you’re also “in the frame.”

You’re a marketing manager

You juggle too many corporate events simultaneously (besides many other responsibilities) and struggle to have mental clarity.

You’re a beginner or occasional event organiser

You’re just starting but want to be seen as a pro of your memorable bash. You wonder—what are the next steps?

Gathering around food created possibilities and impact for our business.

Veronica’s ideas opened us to exploring the possibilities and positive impact that gathering around food could create for our business. Beautiful, carefully prepared, and thoughtfully shared food has helped our clients build friendships and made working with us more enjoyable.

FAQs

Is a Gathering Tune-Up right for me?

… and answers to other smart questions:

If you want to make a difference with your gathering—where people come together and feel like they belong and connect with each other—AND have an event challenge and need expert advice quickly, then YES! Whether you’re taking the first steps to bring your small gathering to life and are wondering—what’s the next step or have done events for some time and crave a fresh perspective and ideas, booking a Gathering Tune-Up session will give you the confidence (and the answers you need) to move forward.

In particular, it’s for you if you:

See the value of 1:1 coaching.
Have a specific challenge that we could tackle in 60 minutes.
Need individualised feedback before taking action.
Let small decisions keep you stuck rather than dive in, get messy, and do the work.

Previous customers have been business and design conference organisers, fashion community organisers, leadership team leaders, offsite designers for a fast-growing startup, and food entrepreneurs. Read some testimonials from happy customers here. One thing they had in common? Had or wanted to create a small gathering that made a difference. If that’s you, ideally, you’re also the primary decision-maker responsible for the event.

In this 60-minute session, I answer only your specific questions. If you’re looking for an in-depth audit of your gathering, then buy Gathering Audit.

Everything is online—no need to travel anywhere. All you need is an internet connection.

Anytime you need one-off insights, feedback, or a second opinion on your challenges. Or you can book ongoing monthly sessions to stay on track and keep yourself accountable.

Depending on your chosen plan, your investment is either EUR 497 €, EUR 347 € or EUR 247 €. A Gathering Tune-Up also includes prep time on my end, using the customer insights and info you send and my research—so by the time we’re face-to-face, I’ll be bursting with ideas on how to tune up your gathering.

I offer these sessions a few times every month. Once you book your session, I’ll email you a link to my calendar for the available dates that you can choose from (or add extra ones if you can’t find any that suit you—just say so). I’ll also email you the link to our call and any necessary info.

A Gathering Tune-Up is non-refundable, and you must use it within 60 days from your purchase unless we agree otherwise. I do everything I can to make your experience outstanding. But if you believe you haven’t gotten any value from our conversation, say so by the end of the call, and we’ll figure something out.

A Gathering Tune-Up is a 1:1 event coaching call. Meaning: only one person can join the call. Ideally, the primary decision-maker responsible for the event. If you’re looking for a team workshop, email me.

If you’re unaware of what you need to know and what’s just a shiny object, all the free information in the world won’t help. Also, free advice on the internet is generic​​—from someone who knows nothing about your business and goals. So, if you’re on the fence, ask yourself: What would benefit your organisation most if you could choose between the undivided attention, knowledge, and taste of an expert with fifteen years of international experience vs. random advice from someone on the web?

Of course. Let me know if you need one after you’ve booked and paid for your session.

Portrait of Veronica Fossa

I’m Veronica Fossa, event strategist and designer. Book a virtual event consultation and tune up your IRL gathering.

Designing and hosting an event is already overwhelming enough for the most seasoned event planner. Let’s not mention if you want to create gatherings that make a difference, where people come together and feel like they belong and connect with each other.

I get it: from the pop-up restaurant I opened from a car’s boot in the Helsinki Design District to the eat & connect lunch format I brought simultaneously to 20 workplaces in 14 countries worldwide and the Italian supper club I hosted in embargoed Moscow, those convivial events have been my bread and butter for 15 years.

So, whether you’re taking the first steps in bringing your event to life or have done events for some time and are seeking expert guidance or a second opinion on this more intentional approach, I’ve got you covered.

Don’t let the pressure of last-minute event planning overwhelm you. Transform your event planning experience with an event event consulting call. Choose the right plan for you and make your next event a resounding success!
