Gather

Gather is a small event venue in Pingree Grove, Illinois, serving couples and organisers looking for a setting for intimate celebrations and gatherings. The venue welcomes weddings, micro-weddings and elopements, as well as private occasions such as showers, anniversaries, bar and bat mitzvahs, and celebrations of life. Its event space can accommodate up to 80 guests, with smaller wedding packages available for groups of up to 30, and elopement options for couples with a small number of guests.

The venue has two floors, giving hosts the option to use different areas for parts of an event. Weddings can include a ceremony and dinner upstairs, followed by drinks and dancing downstairs. There is also an outdoor patio, which can be used for ceremonies or cocktail hours depending on the season and booking. Tables and chairs are provided, and larger event rentals include access to the building for set-up, celebration and clear-up, with an event coordinator on site. Wedding packages include planning support, with the precise arrangements varying by package.

Gather also rents space for meetings, training sessions, creative workshops, corporate retreats, association gatherings and fundraisers. Weekday hourly and daily bookings are available for these uses. Hosts arrange catering through an approved outside caterer or restaurant, and beverage service is handled by a licensed provider. The venue is in Kane County and serves organisers from Pingree Grove, Elgin, Huntley, Algonquin and the wider Chicago suburbs. Tours are by appointment, so organisers can discuss the room setup and event requirements before booking.
