We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding venue than Gathering Ground. The beautiful scenery and location made for such a special wedding day, and in fact we had multiple guests tell us it was the most beautiful wedding they’d been to. It truly felt magical from start to finish.
Additionally, the owners were fantastic to work with and went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. They were professional, very responsive to any questions I had, and showed true care in making sure the wedding day went smoothly.
If you’re looking for a venue that combines beauty, wonderful owners, and an unforgettable atmosphere, Gathering Ground is it! We’re still glowing from the experience!

Gathering ground is the most sacred piece of land in Carmel Valley. The owners of this property have created the most beautiful, peaceful space that felt like a movie. Forget the cliche wineries with goddy fake architecture and a stuffy feeling. This venue honors Mother Nature herself with timeless, simple beauty. The owners are responsive, gracious, and kind—they made the whole process easy and stress free. I almost don’t want to share this space because selfishly I want to keep it all to myself!! Anyone is lucky to get married here and you truly cannot find another venue quite as amazing as this one 🥲🩷
