Meet Us
Meet Kate
Kate O’Dowd has been working at the highest level of Ireland’s event industry for almost two decades. Beginning her career as fashion & lifestyle editor at IMAGE Publications, Kate spent the latter part of her time in publishing as founding editor of IMAGE Brides magazine. It was here that her position as an industry leader was forged and the natural launchpad for the foundation of her own events agency, Love & Gatherings, in 2016. Kate works as lead planner and creative director across all of our events and builds a personal relationship with each client, along the way.

Meet Eve
Our wonderful Eve Roe has over fifteen years’ experience in the events industry. Most recently, as a key team member for a number of Ireland’s leading event planners; before that she was in-house at two luxury venues; and way back in her event world beginnings, she ran team-building & tourist experiences throughout Dublin city. Safe to say, Eve has seen, done and perfected it all. Top it all off with a background in media and production and it’s easy to see why Eve manages client communication, supplier bookings, vendor searches, and wedding-day operations with a friendly, practical, and efficient approach that our couples couldn't be without.
