Jeanne has transformed her barn into a beautiful wedding venue! She's kind, approachable, and always makes you feel at home.

My husband and I new we wanted to get married at Gatherings the moment we stepped inside. We booked our wedding date before getting engaged because that's how much we wanted to secure a spot... we were in love too!!!

Highly recommend!

Gatherings on the Ridge is such a beautiful venue! We hosted both our ceremony and our reception here and couldn't have been happier with it! Jeanne was extremely helpful throughout the planning process, and Ann did an amazing job bartending and coordinating the day of! We're so glad we chose Gatherings on the Ridge!
