We got married at Gather Greene at the end of September. Despite being hit by a Nor’easter storm, our guests have repeatedly told us it was one of the best weddings they’ve ever been too. (And they’re enthusiastic enough I think they’re saying it out of more than obligation.)*

Not only is Gather Greene a stunning venue that feels like your own private woodland hideaway, but it’s set up to allow incredible flexibility and personalization. If you also use Gather Greene as your planners, Jackie, Amna, and the team will do a wonderful job making sure both the planning process and wedding weekend are lovely experiences.

In case it’s helpful, here are our vendors. We’d highly recommend them all!

* Our friend has a convincing theory that rain on your wedding day actually improves the party. She complained that the weather was so nice at her wedding everyone kept leaving the dance floor.

We had an amazing wedding weekend at Gather Greene. The venue is gorgeous, the team is super responsive, provided incredible vendor recommendations, and seamlessly executed our wedding. Jackie and Amna designed the entire venue (including the beautiful cabins) so thoughtfully both for guests and vendors. We also opted to leverage Gather Greene’s in-house planning services and were so impressed with all of the vendors they recommended. Truly perfect from start to finish and we’re just hoping we can attend another wedding there one day!

Gather Greene was the most magical wedding venue. We loved that there were so many different ways to creatively use the space - we had our wedding in the woods among the trees, our cocktail hour on the platform overlooking the valley during golden hour, our dinner and reception in the pavillion, and our after party in the quarry (complete with a fire pit and s'mores!). We loved that the pavillion was a blank canvas that we could adorn exactly how we envisioned it would be, and the outdoor spaces are so beautiful on their own that a bit of floral elements here and there was all they needed to transform into the fairytale venue it became. Gather Greene was the only venue that we toured that allowed outside caterers, which was very important to us, as we had an Iranian wedding and serving Persian food was very important to us. Otherwise, we were very happy with their recommended vendors, and they worked seamlessly with us to make our dream day a reality. The guests raved about the beautiful ceremony site and the cabins. Our wedding was the most special day, and if we had to do it all again we would pick Gather Greene as our venue every single time!

We recently got married at Gather Greene and we were genuinely blown away by the venue, the staff, and the entire experience. The team at Gather Greene goes above and beyond throughout the entire wedding planning process, but especially on your wedding weekend, to make sure you have the wedding of your dreams. The cabins are idyllic and our guests couldn't get over how romantic of a setting the property is for a wedding celebration. The venue is truly a blank slate for you to transform into whatever your wedding vision may be and the team there will make sure it comes to life. We cannot thank Jackie, Amna, Annalise, and the entire Gather Greene enough for everything they did to make our wedding weekend so special!

Gather Greene is picturesque beyond words. When my now-husband and I started our venue search last year, we got the same vibe from many places we toured - churn and burn wedding mills with a hefty price tag but not a whole lot of that special, ‘I want to remember this as the spot where we had the best day of our lives’ feel. Then we visited Gather Greene, and before we even got out of the car to meet the venue owners and have a proper look around, we KNEW this was the place we were going to create epic memories at!


This venue is so well designed, every little aspect of the sprawling property is intentional and beautiful. So much so that we knew we had to make our wedding event a full weekend, spending as much time at different parts of the property as possible.

Over the past year, Jackie and her team made us feel so special, like we were the only couple getting married there. Our wedding weekend far exceeded our wildest dreams and we have no regrets - our advice to any interested couples is to not even give it a second thought - book your memorable event here and you will not be disappointed! We are already looking forward to returning for a nice stay in the cabins once the weather gets a bit warmer.

Thank you so much to all the Gather Greene staff for everything - we feel so lucky to have found you and are forever grateful for all that you did to make our special weekend absolutely out of this world.

The site is gorgeously situated; the architecture of the pavilion and cabins impeccably elegant, modern, and minimalist with amazing light; and the team so gracious, kind, and professional. We loved the variety of spaces and terrain encompassed by the site, which provided endless creative opportunities over the course of the weekend and allowed different parts of the day to take on their own character and environment. A highlight for everyone was sending canoes out on the pond so that the ceremony could be witnessed from both water and land. It was a dreamy idea and yet made entirely possible. We’re so grateful to the team at Gather Greene for creating this place that exists for magic-making. We would gladly get married here a hundred times over.

There’s just no question Gather Greene is a stunning venue with everything you could ever want for the whole wedding weekend. My fiancé and I booked it sight unseen around 1.5 years in advance, and ended up seeing the venue 2 times before our big day for walk throughs. Every time we were blown away. It’s a stunning, stunning venue without even a single piece of decor in it, and then when you fill the space with all of your details the place becomes a type of magical you can only really dream of. We loved the cabins, the hammocks, the twinkle light-lit paths, the golf carts, the fire pits, the sheer diversity of the property for everything from event locations to photo locations. There’s just no way to have a bad event here. And if you care about aesthetics, the place practically photographs itself. Highly, highly recommend.

We knew Gather Greene was our venue when we toured it in the absolute pouring rain and still loved it. From the darling tiny cabins on site, the beautiful shale pond, to the absolutely stunning pavilion which is somehow simultaneously minimalist and grand, this place had everything we were looking for. With the slated walls, the pavilion feels like an outdoor space while but still being protected from the elements. There are a ton of other locations on site that are each unique and have their own feel to them, which gives you a lot of options for ceremony/cocktail hour/reception locations, and is super fun for pictures! Your vendors are also going to love Gather Greene; Alma and Jackie really thought of everything when they built this place. Truly this place is magical, and we cannot wait to hopefully go back soon!

We had our wedding at Gather Greene in August, 2019. It was the perfect venue - incredible and thoughtful design, truly unique vs. other upstate venues and with enough space for our friends and family to stay on property. Amna and Jackie (who own and run GG) were amazing hosts and communicators throughout the whole planning process. They put us in touch with vendors, helped us to plan the layout for the weekend and ensured everything ran smoothly. Our guests and vendors were blown away by the magic of Gather Greene and I couldn't recommend this venue more, whether's it's for a wedding, celebration or quick weekend getaway. Thank you to A and J for creating such a special place. We can't wait to return.

Eddie and I got married at Gather Greene last year (their first year) and we are SO HAPPY we chose this venue. It was perfectly us and Jackie and Amna were the perfect people to work with. The grounds are gorgeous and then there’s the incredible pavilion with that backdrop walllll. Oh my. It was such a special 3 days - and with the gorge cabins we got to feel totally tucked away with our fave people. Can’t recommend enough! We want to do it all again!
