Where grace leads and people gather!

The name Grace & Gather Events Co. honors my grandmother, Grace — a woman who built community everywhere she went. She believed in the power of gathering people together with warmth, intention, and care. Her legacy inspires how we plan events today: thoughtfully, joyfully, and with deep attention to the experience of every guest.

Meet your event planner

Hello! My name is Lorraine Grace Njoki, and I am the Founder and Lead Planner of Grace & Gather Events Co. I bring over a decade of event planning experience, meticulous attention to detail, a calm presence, and a passion for creating meaningful moments you and your guests will remember. From intimate gatherings to milestone celebrations, I plan with intention so you can be truly present.

I’m from Nairobi, Kenya, and grew up all over New York City! I’ve lived in Potsdam, NY, for the last 16 years, so I consider myself a North Country gal! I can’t wait to help you plan your event, from weddings to intimate gatherings, I do it all!

Events That Feel Like You — Gracefully Designed, Seamlessly Executed.

At Grace & Gather Events Co., we believe every celebration deserves more than logistics — it deserves heart. Your event should reflect your story, your joy, and your purpose.

Before Grace & Gather was a business, it was a woman.

My grandmother — my Cucu — was named Grace, and I was named after her. She carried that name in the way she lived. She didn’t just host gatherings. She created belonging. She made every person feel seen, fed, and folded into something bigger than themselves.

I remember watching how people lingered in her presence. How laughter felt fuller. How community felt natural around her.

Grace & Gather Events Co. exists because of her.

Every timeline I build, every table set, every detail managed with care — it’s rooted in what she taught me: that gathering is sacred. That celebration is about connection. That love lives in the smallest gestures.

This isn’t just event planning.

It’s legacy in motion.

And I carry her with me into every room.

Grace & Gather Events Co. can plan your event wherever your imagination takes you!
