About
The Gathering LLC
1058 Lincoln Rd.
Allegan, MI 49010
We just renovated a 54’ x 19’ attached space in the barn that we originally used for storage space. We added 3 sliding barn doors with a 34’ opening for fresh air to come in the main part of the barn. We also just added an outdoor 34’ patio to dance under the stars. We moved in the 1925 bar. The barn originally was built in 1850. It was turned into a golf course/restaurant in 1925 and then it closed in 2010. We purchased the property in 2015 and started renovations. We opened in 2016.
A one hour rehearsal is included or you may upgrade to a two hour rehearsal and use our rehearsal room. It is available to rent to bring in your own rehearsal dinner for up to 40 people.
If you choose to have alcohol, we only use one bartending company, The Liquor Cabinet. Anything unopened is refunded. You can reach them at liquorcabinetevents@gmail.com
Our son Brandon is a DJ and does about half of our weddings each year along with many other wedding venues. He is also the Central Michigan University DJ. Brandon mixes the music live on site seamlessly from the best part of one song to another song. You can reach Brandon at bookmeiste@gmail.com he would be happy to do your event at another location too. You may also gladly bring in your own DJ as well.

Kaylee M. Married on 07/30/2022Amazing Venue!
Not only was it a beautiful venue but the people who work with you are so amazing and kind! Phyllis who is the owner, is a blessing to work with and she is very accommodating to your needs! The others who work alongside her are also so amazing and helpful! The venue offers rental services to help decorate the venue for great prices and it makes it so nice to be able to have so much available if needed for your big day! I highly recommend it! My family and friends couldn’t stop raving about it! A beautiful place for pictures and memories of the most special day!-

We had our wedding here during COVID, the week prior we had to move to a completely outdoor wedding and it was zero stress because Phyllis had it completely taken care of! Beautiful backyard setting that makes you feel like you’re home!The Gathering LLC's reply:
