Twin Lakes Golf & Swim Club was the perfect venue for our wedding! From the beginning, the team there was easy to communicate with and always available to answer our questions. The outdoor space was beautiful and elegant - the gazebo where we held our ceremony was stunning. The food was absolutely amazing, and we received so many compliments from our guests on the menu. Ashley in particular was wonderful to work with and ensured our day went off without a hitch. We couldn't be happier with our experience at Twin Lakes and highly recommend it to any couples looking for a beautiful, stress-free wedding celebration.

I’ve put off writing this review because I didn’t want to do a disservice to the Treasury. To start, the venue is stunning, it made planning so easy for a bride like me who had no idea where to start for decor. The thing that you can’t see in pictures is how incredible the staff is. They were super communicative throughout the entire process. Any questions I had, they would answer within a day or two of me reaching out. They were proactive when a deadline came up, sending a heads up message a few weeks before so even if I had forgotten, I had time to get everything together. Finally, I did not expect their attentiveness on the actual day of our wedding but Hayley and Josh helped make us feel so special the whole day. The discord on wedding Facebook and TikTok is that the venue coordinator is there for the venue and to not expect them to help out day of except for anything venue related. That was not my experience at all, for example, I got sucked into talking to guests while dinner was being served and yet almost an hour after everyone ate, Josh arranged my husbands and my dinner in the private room, and it was freshly cooked and still hot. My wedding day was one of my best days so far, and so much of that can be attributed to the Treasury.

My husband and I had our wedding at 2Gather Elegant Event Venue and we were so happy with our choice! The venue coordinators were extremely helpful, timely in their responses, and really listened to what we wanted for our big day. The quality and value were amazing - the space was clean and very well organized for our wedding events. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors to flip the room three times from cocktail hour, to dinner, to late night dancing and games. The coordinators helped us create floorplans and made modifications when needed. All of our guests loved the space and different things we were able to do with it. They also had a bunch of great places on the grounds to take photos - I loved that I didn’t have to find park to get outside photos. I would highly recommend 2Gather Elegant Event Venue to any engaged couple looking for an stress-free wedding venue that delivers excellent service and a fun, memorable event!
