Highly Recommend!
We got married at Gathered Oaks about 2 weeks ago, and it couldn't have been more perfect! The farmhouse, grain bins, and venue were pristine. We aren't from the area so a lot of our guests hadn't been to the venue, and we got sooo many compliments about how beautiful of a spot it was. Tessa and the whole staff were so wonderful to work with throughout the entire process! She made planning a wedding through COVID as stress free as it could be :) If I could give it 100 stars, I would. -

I have dreamed of my wedding day since I was 6 years old and Gathered Oaks was everything I dreamed of and so much more. Every detail from my first look at their website to opening our gift from gathered oaks a week after our wedding was absolute perfection. I truly could not have imagined a better venue and would not have changed a single thing. Tessa and Andrew are absolutely wonderful people and were incredible to work with and made every detail so easy. I try to convince everyone I know to get married at Gathered Oaks so that #1. They can have as wonderful of an experience as we did and #2. so that we will have a reason to go back to this spectacular venue! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for providing a venue that not only made our wedding day perfect but also feels like home. -

Absolutely Perfect!
We LOVED our experience with Gathered Oaks! Tessa, Andrew, and Mary were amazing!! From start to finish, they made the entire experience simple and stress free. This venue is naturally beautiful just the way it is, but we opted to rent some extra decorations from Gathered Oaks. They were rustic and elegant and the cost was reasonable. Their a-la-carte menu has a variety of extras to choose from. The ceremony site is beautiful near the lake and we were able to use their golf cart to help some of our older guests get down to the site. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and much of that perfection was due to Gathered Oaks and it’s staff. Thank you again for a special day that we will remember forever! -

Perfect perfect perfect!
Gathered Oaks was one of the earliest decisions we made for our wedding and probably the best one. We actually booked Gathered before they were even built! We visited the property and loved talking with Tessa so much that we just fell in love with the idea of getting married there! The property/grounds are incredibly beautiful and well maintained. There is space for everything you should need. Tessa and Andrew are incredible to work with. Tessa responded promptly to every question I had (even the silly ones) and helped with anything she could. They also made the day of very easy. They don’t have a day of coordinator, but there is always someone from Gathered to go to if you need anything! They put a drink back on their special cocktails that they had taken off just for our wedding! The inside of the barn was a cool retreat from the end of June heat. There was space for everyone. Downstairs was a nice retreat for those who maybe wanted a quieter space during the dance and plenty of space for dancing upstairs. Our night was perfect and a lot had to do with the setting. The grounds also offer a lot of space for different backdrops for photos. And now it has gotten even better because since our wedding they had added several different beautiful lodging options on site! If you want a beautiful, elegant, rustic barn wedding you HAVE to pick Gathered Oaks. You will not be disappointed! -

Danielle Sent on 10/24/2017We're from Minneapolis and decided pretty soon after our engagement we wanted to take our wedding up North. Gatheres oaks was absolutely perfect and we couldn't be more happy about picking it as our venue. The owners, Andrew and Tessa, were so easy and helpful to work with. They went above and beyond for us. The venue/property is stunning, we received many compliments from our guest about how beautiful it was. Side note, they make the BEST mixed drinks. we've been to a lot of weddings and drinks are usually so so but Gathered oaks were so delicious :)
By the far the best venue up in Alexandria. We had all our guest stay at Arrowwood resort which is about a mile away from gathered oaks. We rented a shuttle to bring all our guest to and from so it worked out well. We had 250 guests and everyone was able to fit on main level and loft. Buffet was also on main level.
Another great thing about Gathered Oaks is that you can turn it into any style wedding you want. We loved that we got married in a barn but it didn't feel too rustic--we were going for a more elegant/simple style and it ended up being perfect! But if you're going for a rustic look, it would be perfect for that too. Lots of different options for style here which is a huge plus!
If you're getting married in Alexandria, get married at Gathered Oaks, you will not regret!! -

Gathered Oaks is exactly where you want to be on your wedding day! It's the perfect combination of cozy and fun!
My husband and I were lucky enough to get married there during their first summer season. They were such pros you would never have known that it was their inaugural season!
There are so many breathtaking spots on their grounds to photograph your big day. I LOVE the sunset shot we got there-which is evident by the five framed pictures of it around our house!
Everyone you work with at Gathered Oaks is so accommodating and so excited to be sharing your day with you! My family and friends are still raving about it nearly two years later! Thank you Gathered Oaks-Alexandria is so lucky to have you! -

Kailynn Sent on 06/27/2017We could not love this place and their staff more!!
Not only is the venue gorgeous inside and out but Tessa & Andrew are beyond fabulous to work with. They made the entire planning process simple and painless. I couldn't wait to get emails from them as we got closer and closer. We were able to host 200+ guests at an outdoor ceremony overlooking the lake, on the lower level and patio for social hour and for a seated dinner with buffet on the main level & loft all customized to our vision and carried out to perfection!
We truly could not have asked for a better place to have our wedding! So excited to see all the great events and memories Gathered Oaks will host for years to come, and proud to say we are one of the first! -

After our initial meeting on the property and returning our contract, the staff (Tessa) has been amazing with the questions - either from me or things that our other vendors have asked me. This is very helpful as we've been signing other contracts. All the vendors usually respond with "I love that place," which helps too! I love the small details, like the calendar on their site with the couples names for events. -

Beautiful Venue and lovely staff!
As soon as I stepped foot into the barn at Gathered Oaks, I knew it was the place I wanted to get married (perhaps to my husband's chagrin :) ). The place is beautiful, with colorful gardens, a modern meets rustic aesthetic, and plenty of charm. Tessa is lovely to work with, and her emails are always cheery and kind. They also have plenty of inclusions and reasonably priced rentals. The only item I would say that could have been improved was the response time, but I feel like everyone is understaffed these days. 4.8/5 -
