Hi, I’m Natalie!
Founder of Coastal Gatherings, lover of lush greenery, thoughtful details, and meaningful celebrations.
Event planning has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I earned my degree from UCF’s Rosen College of Hospitality Management with a track in Event Management and spent over a decade in the hospitality and event industry, including seven wonderful years managing the Riverside Pavilion, a 200-seat waterfront venue right here in Port Orange. There, I had the privilege of helping hundreds of couples, families, and businesses bring their visions to life.
Coastal Gatherings was born from my passion for creating events that feel authentic, joyful, and beautifully organized. Whether you're planning a wedding, corporate gathering, or milestone celebration, I bring a calm, experienced hand to the process – so you can relax and enjoy every moment.
When I’m not coordinating timelines and layouts, you’ll likely find me tending to my plants, catching a Tortuga’s game, supporting local businesses, or enjoying Florida’s parks with my husband and our dog, Coco!
Let’s make your next event unforgettable!
