Findind this venue was a blessing. It was perfect for our intimate wedding and reception. A romantic, relaxed elegant and fun ambiance. Phillys, the owner was remarkable. We were impressed by her professionalism and warm service. She was a godsend when our wedding planner completely disappeared on us the month prior our wedding. I am grateful for Phyllis support, wisdom, grace and guidance. We could not have found a better venue and person to work with. We had a blizzard and the venue staff assisted with everything and cleared the paths since the planner did not bring any of her “team.” Our event was a success. The wedding photos are beautiful. Thank you, Phyllis and The Gathering LLC staff!

The owners very nice, but we had to cancel our wedding very early due to a family emergency so keep in mind there is not a chance you will get your deposit back. I know it’s in the contract it’s non refundable but most places are understanding for situations especially pretty early - when they fill the dates anyways 😊
Any questions?

We had our wedding at The Gathering, and it was an absolutely beautiful day! A huge thank you to Phyllis, the owner, for providing such a stunning venue. Everything was perfect from start to finish. We also want to give a special thank you to Amy from The Gathering who was incredibly helpful with our rehearsal dinner. Her support made everything go so smoothly! And a big shout-out to Melanie from The Gathering, who was amazing on the day of our wedding. Her attention to detail and help made our special day even more magical. Everything was amazing!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

The Gathering LLC is an absolutely stunning venue!!! We saw many venues but none of them compared to this. Phyllis and her crew are all amazing and so kind. They are there to help the day of and days and even months beforehand. They have TONS of decorations you can rent for a decent price and the land is beautiful! I had so many guests tell me how gorgeous everything was and I couldn’t agree more! I’m so happy with our choice and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND it to anyone looking for a beautiful and rustic setting. It’s absolutely perfect! :) Thank you all!!!

I don’t even know where to start with this review besides WOW. I got married at The Gathering LLC and it was the best wedding planning decision I made. The Venue is gorgeous with sunsets that are breathtaking and make for amazing pictures. The giant white barn where the receptions take place is beautifully decorated with golden toned lights, chandeliers and beautifully made Amish tables. Guests were in awe with how gorgeous the venue is. Phyllis, Melanie, and Amy were a dream to work with and Amy made sure our wedding day happened with ease with absolutely no problems or hiccups. The ladies at the Gathering were professional, caring, kind and overall just amazing at making sure your wedding day with them is perfect. The most gorgeous venue with a team of women that make you feel like family. Thank you Phyllis for everything you have done to provide the most perfect venue to get married at!

For starters, Phyllis was amazing to work with! This venue has tons of beautiful decorations you can use for your special day, which is so nice. Everything was so clean and the barn is in beautiful shape. The bridal suite was perfect and was even attached to the women's bathroom which was so convenient! We would definitely recommend this venue!

The Gathering is a gorgeous venue that has a lot to offer for a very reasonable price. The outdoor chapel is a perfect ceremony space. The barn is beautifully lit and decorated. We were concerned when we first booked the venue that no AC in the barn would be uncomfortable, but the fan system does an excellent job keeping the space cool. One of my favorite parts of booking the space was that for a reasonable additional fee, you can do an unlimited rental of the table and ceremony space decorations that the venue owns.
The venue owner's son Brandon is also an excellent DJ. He knows the venue space very well and did an excellent job keeping the music flowing all night. I highly recommend booking him, especially if you book this venue.

Wouldn’t have wanted my wedding to be anywhere else. I can’t say enough good words about this place. Phyllis and Amy were incredibly flexible while the weather was not ideal, and they truly made our day as special as it possibly could be. 5 stars doesn’t do justice.
