Memorable experience under extreme circumstances

I can't say enough about our experience with Acquaint Gatherings. It was so perfect and sentimental because it used to be our old church that had been perfectly refurnished into a beautiful Venue. However, the small best touches about any old church were kept intact. The owner was absolutely amazing and attentive. Laurie went above and beyond to rescue us in a time of need due to the cancellation of our original wedding plans that were effected by COVID-19. She met us multiple times and worked with us to help plan a very nontraditional small wedding in such a short amount of time. She was so helpful, sweet, and generous in so many ways. I am so glad our wedding plans were changed because I couldn't imagine our special day anywhere else.

This venue is amazing and Laurie is amazing! After contemplating for months on what type of wedding we wanted, I walked into this venue for a graduation party and just knew it would be the perfect place. We planned our wedding in just a few weeks. Laurie was beyond helpful! The venue is already decorated beautifully. She has so many decorations you can use for choose from for centerpieces. It was a wonderful experience. You can have any type of event here. We loved we could have our wedding and the reception in the same place. There are also areas outside for plenty of photo opportunities. I can’t say enough great things! Laurie, thank you! After stressing for months, I met you and knew it was all going to be fantastic! Thanks for making our day magical!
