The Gatewood is the most stunning venue I've ever been to! We had our wedding ceremony and reception there, and it was absolutely perfect! The building is so unique and gorgeous! Matt was so nice when we toured and kept in contact throughout the upcoming months to our wedding. Claudia is just amazing! She helped us plan the day and guided us during our rehearsal. She was there on our big day and kept everything running smoothly, plus our son just loved her! She really went above and beyond to make our day special and we are forever thankful. Plus our bartender was awesome too! If you are looking for a beautiful venue in a cute small town, book the Gatewood

I got married at SAGE in July of 24’ and it was amazing, Glenn and his wife are the owners and they help you with everything directly. It 100% was worth every penny, but with the amount that’s included in their venue I can’t believe we didn’t spend 15k or more like all the other venues wanted. I had the perfect day as a bride and our guests were impressed! The food was amazing and made by the owners as well. I can’t recommend them enough!
