How large is The Gathering Space? 
The Gathering Space has been described as “intimate”,  “cozy”, and “charming” ~ but the most commonly used adjective is “beautiful”!
  The Gathering Space has been the site of elegant wedding ceremonies with up to 100 guests, and hosted banquets with up to 60 guests seated at tables.
All of the seating in The Gathering Space is moveable, so the space can be re-configured to suit the needs of the people we serve,  and the space seems to have an almost  miraculous ability to be “just the right size” for  the events that are held there!

A joy filled wedding at The Gathering Space!

Since its opening in May of 2010,  The Gathering Space has seen couples married, milestones celebrated, families gathered, and has heard songs and laughter ring within its walls.  As we move into the spring of 2012,  this charming venue stands ready to provide a warm, intimate, beautiful, and affordable alternative for folks looking for a place to gather, meet, and celebrate.

Planning a special event of your own in 2012?  For a price only slightly higher than what you might pay for a community center, town hall, or VFW you can hold your event in the sort of  atmosphere  usually available only in the most exclusive (and expensive) of establishments.    Instead of concrete block and linoleum, you can surround  your guests with soaring gothic ceilings, hardwood floors, beautifully painted walls, and wonderful amenities.

Tables and chairs are included in the price of the rental, and dishes and cutlery are available for an additional fee.  A well appointed warming kitchen is available, and you may bring in your own food or have your event catered.  The Gathering Space will also provide staff for set up and clean up if you desire.

Please consider The Gathering Space for your special occasion ~ Jen would love to work with you to plan a beautiful and affordable event that you and your guests will remember for a long time to come!

I was showing The Gathering Space to a young bride-to-be a few days ago when she mentioned the movie, A Walk to Remember.  She said she was excited, because The Gathering Space reminded her powerfully of the chapel where the young star-crossed lovers were married in the movie, and it had been her dream to find a place just like that for her own wedding. 

When I heard this, I was intrigued by the comparison, My memory of the movie is a bit hazy (although I am going to make a point to watch it again!), but pictures and descriptions of the chapel that I have found do indeed put me in mind of my own little country church.  To paraphrase one of the writers who expressed strong feelings about the little chapel in the movie, ‘a wedding will be most special if you are surrounded by your intimate family and friends.  The cozy chapel in A Walk to Remember gave the ceremony a sweet, sacred feeling that might be missing from a larger, grander wedding.’  Fans of the movie also mention the beautiful colors of the chapel, and the simplicity and peacefulness of the surroundings, traits which The Gathering Space shares.  Like the chapel in A Walk to Remember, The Gathering Space has hardwood floors, clean white accents, and fantastic light.  Both  The Gathering Space and the Orton Plantation Chapel (the actual name of the chapel in the movie) have clear glass windows, which allow beautiful sunlight to stream in, and images of the leaves and sky to replace the more traditional stained glass images found in most churches. 

If you are ever in North Eastern Carolina, you should take a trip to the Orton Plantation Chapel.  I am sure you will find its beauty and simplicity inspiring.  If you are planning a wedding here in Wisconsin, why not take a look at The Gathering Space.  You can have a beautiful, intimate, and unique wedding in a truly memorable setting, and for an affordable price.   I can promise you that if you are married at The Gathering Space, you will take your very own Walk to Remember, in a setting that you will never forget!
