“The Event on Sunny Brook was an absolutely beautiful venue for our wedding. Hope and Holly were a dream to work with - they were responsive in their communication, consistently answered all our questions, and made sure we felt taken care of every step of the way. On the big day itself, they coordinated everything smoothly so that my husband and I could relax and soak in every magical moment. The venue itself is breathtaking. Many told us afterwards that it was one of the loveliest weddings they had ever attended.

“I don’t think I can fully put into words how amazing our experience was with House Three Thirty for our wedding day! From the moment we put out an inquiry and toured the venue, we were set! I have never worked with a more prompt and accommodating coordinator as Vaughn Myers - he’s STELLAR! He helped us with every detail to make our day perfect! The kitchen staff accommodated making Indian food, the getting ready spaces for both the bride and groom were phenomenal, they allowed us to use the space for our engagement photos, and even went out of their way to acquire over 100 records to use for our place settings at the venue (I had mentioned during our tasting how I loved the set up and Vaughn made it happen without a question). Vaughn also helped us stick to a timeline during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception to ensure we weren’t running late while making sure all our guests were taken care of. Aside from their amazing staff, the venue itself is stunning and did not require much additional decor outside of our florals (big help with our budget). 100000/10 recommend utilizing House Three Thirty for any events in the future!”

“Gather at the Lakes was the best decision we made for our day! The outdoor space was so gorgeous, we knew immediately that’s where we wanted to get married. We were nervous about an outdoor October wedding in Ohio…but the team gave us plan A, B, C and D just in case!! Their event planners were so helpful and encouraging. They were EVERYWHERE on the day. Any time I needed someone, there they were. I was able to just enjoy my day and not stress. They never made me feel like I was bothering them with ideas or questions during the planning process. The food was delicious, the bar was perfect, the table decor was beautiful and the service was outstanding. I cannot say enough about this venue. It truly was the best day ever and Gather was a HUGE part in making it as beautiful and easy as possible. I have 2 friends who are now getting married there because they were so in love with the venue from my wedding. I can’t wait to go back and see it again! I hear there are tons of updates!!!”
