Gatherlight replaces the chaos with
a simple two-phase process.
Everyone votes. Consensus emerges.
The plan locks in.
Turn dozens of preferences
into clear, shared options
Gatherlight blends budgets, interests, accessibility needs, and travel logistics into simple recommendations your group can actually agree on.
Each option summarizes fit, cost, trade-offs, and group-specific considerationsβso choosing where to go feels easy instead of overwhelming.
How it works
From idea to plan in four simple steps.
Set up and share
Set the gathering name, details, and your preferences. Share the link with your crew.
Collect votes, lock the date
Everyone marks their availability and preferences. We find the dates that work for your group.
Location. Location. Location.
Based on the dates and everyone's preferences, we suggest the best destinations to vote on.
You did it!
Your group voted on dates and a destination and locked it in. Now the fun part begins.

not just talk about it
Because planning shouldnβt be harder than the trip itself.

College friend trips
Team offsites
Milestone birthdays

Designed for the messy reality of group planning
Not another calendar poll. A system that works when life is complicated.
One-tap sign in
No passwords to remember. Just enter your email, get a code, and you're in.
Smart date finding
Instantly see which date ranges work for the most people. No spreadsheets required.
Privacy-first
Special needs like childcare, accessibility, or budget constraints stay between you and the organizer.
Visa-aware suggestions
The system factors in passport constraints so you don't plan a trip someone can't attend.
Everyone can come
Accessibility, LGBTQ+ safety and more: the system only suggests places that work for everyone.
Late joiner friendly
People can join mid-process and participate in remaining phases. No one gets left out.
