The Gathering Event Center

We held a wedding reception here for my son and his wife and I cannot say enough good things about this venue and the team that runs it! They were so accommodating with everything we needed and wanted. We were able to use our own vendors for food and beverage and we liked the ability to make those choices without having to meet crazy food and beverage minimums. They are reasonably priced and for a fee they offer a decorating package and access to their storehouse of decor which they then set up for you. The space is very pretty and the outdoor pergola/fire pit area is a bonus! Again, Haley and her family are some of the best people and they take such good care of you ensuring your event is everything you dreamed of.

I photographed a wedding here this winter and had such a pleasure working with Haley <3 The venue is very beautiful, accommodating, and the atmosphere felt right at home. This venue is perfect for those couples that are looking for a one and done space to celebrate that is stylish, inviting, and open for mingling.

Haley and her family are amazing people to work with! I don’t know if I have met a kinder family. They worked together and helped made our wedding of our dreams happen. We were able to have such flexibility in what we wanted and because of that it made our day even more special! I will be nonstop talking about this amazing team and venue. Thank you for being a part of our big day!

We just got married here on 8/23/2024! Haley was awesome and answered every question I had and helped me with everything I needed! Her and her family went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. They even took down and packed up the outdoor chairs we had brought to use for the ceremony. 10/10! Would recommend to anyone and everyone!

My husband & I got married here two months ago. This space was perfect! We held our reception here & it had everything we needed. We were able to use whatever vendors we wanted & that was our biggest driving point for booking. Very reasonably priced venue in the Brainerd Lakes Area. Haley & her family are just absolutely incredible as well. Very kind, easy to communicate with, helpful, attentive, and just all around wonderful & accommodating especially after an unfortunate event had affected my family & I. They also own a 16 person Airbnb called “The Lodge” that we rented for our wedding party & used for our getting ready, pictures, and for our small ceremony. It’s a beautiful space & is less than a 2 minute drive away from the venue. Our party enjoyed staying there & it accommodated our
