Where Rustic Meets Elegance

Our historic barn and farmhouse, were built in 1850 for the developer of Allegan. In 1925, the farm turned into a golf course/restaurant until 2009. We purchased the property after it sat empty for five years. The farmhouse and barn were in such disrepair. Over the next year and a half, my husband, son and nephew restored the house and barn. They constructed the addition to the barn, chapel and porch. They used reclaimed wood from opening up the 2nd floor of the barn, to display the beautifully two story hand pegged construction, with hand hewn beams throughout.

There are four manicured acres to enjoy with beautiful trees and picturesque views, overlooking rolling hills of farmland. The pond and fountain are warmly lit, along with a gas fireplace on the covered porch. They offer a charming intimate setting for you to enjoy, while celebrating with friends & family.

We are so thankful to have met some wonderfully sweet friends that joined us about a year after we opened in 2016. We are all like family. We share the same love for our venue. We all truly care for our couples and we strive to make your special day, unforgettable.

Welcome, we are excited to share our venue with you. Please check out our website thegatheringllcbarn.com for more information including videos and photos of the venue.

Our historic barn and farmhouse, originally built in 1850, offer a unique blend of rustic charm and modern elegance. The farm was transformed into a golf course and restaurant in 1925 until 2009. After standing vacant for five years, we purchased the property in 2014 and spent the next year and a half restoring the barn and farmhouse. We preserved the barn’s character by using reclaimed wood from the second floor to create a charming front porch for the barn and a rustic chapel. The barn's two-story design showcases original hand-pegged construction and hand-hewn beams, adding to the elegance and timeless beauty of your celebration.

Nestled on four acres of manicured grounds with views overlooking soft rolling farmland along with a warmly lit pond and fountain, add to the romantic ambiance to celebrate with your friends and family.
