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!

Highlighting another highly recommended local small business and a vendor on our list!

Regina, owner of RegCakes, is so conscious about creating the best tasting gluten and dairy free options! And she does not fall short! Believe me.. I’ve looked for better tasting gf treats and there’s nothing that compares!

Hit up Regina for your custom wedding cake, or for a gf option at your next event for your guests!
And bonus points if your event is here at TGP and you save me a piece! 😜
