These are the people your wedding website is supposed to protect. 🪩

Several popular free wedding websites say in their privacy policies that they sell or share personal info, including what couples enter about their guests. Ours works differently. We never sell your guest list, we never market to your guests, and we share the details only a venue knows, like where to park and that there's a pond on the property.

Getting married somewhere else? You can still use it.

Trash duty at the venue tonight, and this is what stopped me in my tracks. 🌅

Owning a wedding venue isn't all flowers and first dances, but there's always something beautiful worth looking up for. Imagine this as the backdrop for your sunset photos at The Gathering Place.

Here’s a bridal shower detail worth sharing: book your wedding with us and your bridal shower is HALF PRICE.

This soft blush-and-gold tablescape is a great example of the kind of look you could create for your own shower with us. Tag a bride-to-be who needs to see this!

Looking for a peaceful honeymoon spot or a relaxing getaway? St. George Island, Florida might be exactly what you’re looking for.

Highlights include climbing the historic Cape St. George Lighthouse for panoramic Gulf views, spending the day at Dr. Julian G. Bruce St. George Island State Park with its untouched beaches and nature trails, and enjoying incredible fresh seafood at local favorites like Blue Parrot Oceanfront Cafe and Paddy’s Raw Bar. A quiet slice of Florida’s Forgotten Coast worth the trip.

Just sitting in the golf cart, ready to give our guests a ride from the parking lot, when a baby deer decided to make an appearance! Moments like this are a reminder of why we love being a farm wedding venue — nature is always part of the experience here!
