HUSTLE & GATHER
Events, Trainings, and Consulting for Event Professionals
Real talk on running a successful events business and team. No BS.
As an event entrepreneur or venue owner in the hospitality space, you have a vision. You want your venue to make money and be the go-to space in your area. You want a team of employees who give it their all and love what they do.
The problem? You’re not sure how to make it happen.
You need help pinpointing what’s not working and what you could be doing better. You need practical advice that’ll help you problem-solve and innovate. You need guidance (or a kick in the pants) to get your business where you want it to be.
That’s where Hustle & Gather comes in.
HOW TO WORK WITH US.
At Hustle & Gather, we’re dedicated to helping event professionals and venue owners cut through the noise and uncover what will really help them build a sustainable, successful business. Leveraging our 20 years of experience, we can help you tackle the largest challenges facing your event business.
There are three ways to work with us directly..
Attend Our Venue Masterclass
Learn and implement best practices for owning or managing an event venue.
Venue owners and event professionals, are you looking to learn from experts who are actively working to improve the events industry? Want a fresh approach and expert advice to grow your business?
The Venue Masterclass is for you. (And you don’t even have to sweat at this one!)
Schedule a VIP Day
Build, revamp, or improve 1-2 areas of your biz with our help.
Book a VIP Day with us, and you get our undivided attention and (caffeine-fueled) brainpower at your disposal. Together, we’ll tackle a project or problem in your business that could use our outside perspective.
Whether you choose a 1/2 VIP Day or Full VIP Day, we’ll send you a questionnaire beforehand so that we’re ready to start working together immediately. And at the end of your day, you’ll walk away with processes to implement and actions to take, not just a to-do list.
Looking for a shorter session that still packs a punch? Try our 90 Minute Clarity Session!
Sometimes you just need quick advice. During a 90-minute Clarity Session with us, we’ll problem solve, brainstorm ideas, help you find motivation and clarity, or whatever you need to move forward in your business.
Book a clarity session here.
Build a Stronger Team
Take your team’s skills and confidence to the next level.
We offer Team Training for upper-level management, specific departments, or company-wide teams. You’re busy — and managing/training a team often falls to the lowest rung on your ladder. We’ll come in, get to know your employees, ask questions about how things are going, and then make recommendations for both you and your team.
The result of our Team Trainings? Confident, satisfied employees, stronger teams, and happier clients. Let’s chat about your biggest team challenges and build a Team Training that’s custom-made for you.
Outside of our own services and events, we are also available to speak at your event or conference!

If you’re looking for a presentation customized for your audience and event, we’re your gals.
Meet Courtney & Dana
When you’re a business owner, making big changes and taking risks can be scary and lonely. How do you know you’re making the right decisions? Scaling at the right time? Hiring the right people for your team? Marketing your venue successfully?
If that sounds familiar to you, we get it — we’ve been there.
Those feelings of fear and isolation? That’s practically where we lived over the past decade as we got our businesses off the ground.
We were entrepreneurs who had no magic formula to follow, no one to tell us what we were doing right or wrong. We failed. More than once. But, fueled by some therapy and a ton of coffee, we kept going.
Now, we operate three successful businesses in the Raleigh area. We’re damn good at teaching, seeing others’ strengths, and encouraging them to grow their talents. And we want to use our knowledge and expertise to help you.
Whether you book a VIP Day, hire us for team training, or attend one of our conferences, you can expect actionable advice, fresh motivation, and a new perspective on your business. We know that trusting someone else to transform your biz is a big deal, and we make sure the time you spend with us is well worth it.
We’re ready to support and empower event professionals, hospitality brands, and event venues like you with advice that helps you take action. Are you ready to take that first step?
