The Gathering Trailer 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
China Grove, NC
  • Bar services & beverages
  • Starts at $600

Hi, I’m Caitlin, the heart behind The Gathering Trailer. My family owns a high-end wedding venue, where thoughtful design and hospitality were part of everyday life. After nearly two decades as a high-level manager and partner in the music industry, producing large-scale experiences for A-list artists, I felt called to create something more intentional. I started The Gathering Trailer to design spaces that feel thoughtful, welcoming, and beautifully considered, where people naturally come together and truly enjoy the moment.

I was looking for something special to really elevate the event I was planning but I had no idea what exactly I had in mind until I found Caitlin and The Gathering Trailer. She is a one stop shop for truly making a theme and every little detail come together. Not only has she thought of everything to enhance your event, but she comes ready with ideas and designs to truly make your vision come to life. She has thought of it all and executes it to perfection. Having The Gathering Trailer at my event was everything I hoped it would be and more, it was the highlight of the night and my guests couldn't stop talking about it. I already can't wait to plan the next event / theme to have them execute for me! Thanks so much, Caitlin!

She went above and beyond at one point of our wedding it started to rain and she asked if we wanted to take a picture. I agreed not knowing that the picture was going to come out amazing!!

When my original venue called 4 months out and said their chapel had issues, and I couldn't get married there, I was TERRIFIED! As a very type A bride, I was so scared I wouldn't be able to find a place that could match my vision. I got on the phone with Kristina at the Abbey, and she quickly put my mind at ease! I call her an angel because that is truly what she was throughout the entire process!!! She ended up being our coordinator, and the entire team made our day PERFECT! The getting-ready spaces are stunning, the acoustics in the chapel are unmatched, and the level of flexibility for using the space, outside caterers, etc. is unlike anything else I've found. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone!!!! I will stop rambling now, but if you're sick of scrolling through venues like I was, look no further than the Abbey! Thank you, Abbey team, for making my dream come true!

I had my dream wedding at Meadowview Events. This is a gorgeous venue in a beautiful location with an outdoor ceremony site, separate cocktail hour location, and a large reception space. The venue also offers ample space in both the bridal and groom suites and an extensive list of approved vendors that was very helpful as we started planning our big day. We chose not to have a wedding planner, but the venue does require a day-of coordinator. They will provide this service, but there are certainly some particularities that they have about the venue, so I would recommend asking questions about everything you are planning to ensure if meets their requirements and advocate for what you want. I was told a handful of times that what I wanted “wasn’t what was typical” but once I advocated for it, there was no issue making my vision come to life. There were some times I felt like the need to question and advocate for what I wanted led to added stress during the planning process, but nothing too extreme to not make it worth having our day at this beautiful space. After months of planning, the day of staff was very attentive and worked well with family and vendors to ensure everything was in place and taken care of and that our day ran smoothly. As you plan your special day at this venue, make sure to discuss, ask questions, and advocate for your vision with the owner to ensure that your vision becomes a reality while staying within the requirements and guidelines of the venue. In the end, Meadowview Events helped us have the wedding and reception I had always dreamed of – it was the perfect setting for the perfect day!

My husband and I chose Carolina Country Weddings And Events as our venue, and we could not have been happier with our decision. Throughout the planning process, they were frequently in communication with kind and thoughtful suggestions to ensure everything ran smoothly. They handled all the behind-the-scenes details on our big day - even setting up our flowers for us - allowing us to relax and soak in every magical moment. With multiple scenic ceremony locations and venue options onsite, including housing for guests, Carolina Country provided a gorgeous, natural backdrop for our wedding festivities.
