We planned our wedding in about 6 weeks, and Alysa did most of the work. She arranged the ceremony space to left lots of space for social distancing and arranged the seating for dinner exactly as we asked. The meal was delicious, as were the donuts and late night snack. The space is also beautiful, both for the ceremony and reception.We got married here a few weeks ago. Alysa and Elaine are amazing.

- KKayla D16/08/2024Winter Wonderland Wedding at GatheredWinter Wonderland Wedding at GatheredWe booked the Gathered on a very cold, very snowy day in February. The garden was completely buried, the animals were all hidden away, and the tent was down. We met with Alysa and Elaine, in their home, we immediately felt so welcomed and at ease. There was no wedding stress, no rush and we just knew; this place was perfect. We had to trust that the photos did the summer season justice... well let me tell you, they do not. This venue is so much better in person!We booked the Gathered on a very cold, very snowy day in February. The garden was completely buried, the animals were all hidden away, and the tent was down.

My husband and I were meant to have our wedding in 2020- however we all know how that year went. 2 postponements later and we finally had our magical day in July 2022. Throughout the whole process, the Gathered staff we're able to work with us to ensure that we had the Wedding Day that we envisioned.I have absolutely nothing but good things to say about the Gathered.
