Gatherings Podcast

The Gatherings Podcast is a podcast where Chrystina and Jessica talk about party hosting from the point of view of two female engineers. While they appreciate the beauty of a well-curated tablescape and will gladly Instagram a dessert table full of mini doughnuts, they have found in their own party planning experiences that they like to keep things simple.

Meet the Hosts

Chrystina and Jessica met online in 2014 and became friends based on the fact that they were both civil/architectural engineers who loved to host parties.
