    8/29/26 wedding

    Im a bride and I got married here August 29th, 2026 and I will say the venue itself is absolutely stunning and everything I could’ve dreamed of for my wedding day. Unfortunately we did end up losing power completely for about 7-8 hours of my day that went through getting ready for hair and makeup and through my ceremony and most of my reception. Thankfully I have wonderful friends/family who had trucks able to plug in curling irons. We notified the venue coordinator Luci and she frantically did everything in her power to find solutions for my day. Her and her husband went personally out of their way during my day to find lamps for inside the barn as it was already getting dark with the clouds moving in. With the power being out that meant the bathrooms were also no longer functional given the fact of the place running on a well system. We understand the unfortunate and unseen circumstances of the power going out is no one’s fault. However, when Luci contacted management/owners we were met with very distasteful and unacceptable responses. Luci was working very hard to help fix the problem and find us a generator as there is not any on site. She was then told from management/owners that it was not their problem. When someone from management/owners did show up on site they were also not very pleasant towards my father who had tried to talk to them about the situation. My parents and other family members spent their time running around the venue and running to nearby stores to buy water jugs to keeps bathrooms somewhat functional and a relative went out of the way to go get their own generator for us to use. This became a very stressful situation not only for my family but for me as the bride trying to help figure out what to do given there was no lights and it was becoming dark very fast. Once I learned of the response to Luci I was even more frustrated and very disappointed in the way the situation was being handled. I do want to re-iterate that Luci was not involved in any of the distasteful actions that happened. Luci was the one running around on her own will and time trying to help find solutions for us and I cannot thank her enough for everything she did for us. Luci is a wonderful asset to the venue and without her I fear my wedding would’ve been over well before it even started. After the wedding we did reach out to management/owners and were still met with the same distasteful responses and excuses for the lack of solutions or support. Luci I thank you for everything and cannot tell you how much I appreciate you. As for management/owners. I hope you take this as seriously as possible because due to your lack of concern for someone who paid good money for a wedding at your venue, it was almost completely ruined. Due to time of day and the rain storms we would not have had the choice to move outside either. I would recommend this venue for other brides due to how stunning the property is, but please be aware that management/owners will not be as pleasant. Luci their coordinator for the property is absolutely wonderful and she makes the place shine even more than the property itself and will help you in every way possible. Thank you for everything Luci.

    We are so sorry that an unexpected, community-wide power outage occurred on your wedding day. We are proud of our team (including Luci) who worked cohesively both on site and behind the scenes to assist during the outage. The Gathering Place is intentionally designed as a rustic DIY venue space where couples rent the facility and are fully responsible for managing their own vendors, event logistics, and contingency plans for unforeseen events outside of facility control. We appreciate your feedback and wish you both the best!
