The Gathering Event Center

The Gathering Event Center is a family-owned venue in Crosslake, Minnesota, offering a welcoming setting for celebrations and organised events. Its flexible event space can host weddings, corporate gatherings, bridal and baby showers, family reunions, birthday parties and tradeshows. The venue can accommodate up to 250 guests, though groups of around 225 or fewer are recommended for a more comfortable layout with room to mingle, dance and move between activities.

For weddings, organisers can use the indoor reception space or arrange an outdoor ceremony. The team can discuss floor plans and set-up options to suit the guest count and occasion. Tables and seating are available for up to 250 people indoors. Outdoor ceremony seating needs to be arranged separately, with the venue able to suggest local rental providers.

The Gathering allows organisers to choose their own caterer, giving them flexibility over menus and budgets. Alcohol can also be arranged, subject to the venue's requirements for licensed service, insurance and event set-up. Selected extras are available to rent, including table linens, chargers and outdoor chairs. Organisers can enquire about dates, packages, guest numbers and a venue tour through the business's contact form or by phone.

With its focus on private celebrations and a range of gatherings, The Gathering offers event planners a practical, customisable space in the Brainerd Lakes area. Nearby accommodation options are also listed on the venue's website for guests or wedding parties who want to stay close to the event.
