Weddings

"At the beginning the Creator made them male and female; for this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh"

Whether you’ve always envisioned your dream wedding as an intimate ceremony for just family and close friends, or a spirited gala with hundreds of guests, The Gathering Place at Darlington Lake offers the ideal elegant country setting for your memorable day. With a glistening expanse of lake in front, and the rustic-yet sumptuous log Event Center, amidst a romantic wooded backdrop, a wedding at The Gathering Place means that warmth, whimsy, sophistication and natural beauty are guaranteed.

We understand that every wedding is as individual as the bride and groom, and that today’s couples want a distinctive personalized venue with exceptional value for their ceremony and reception. With this in mind, we give our couples exclusive attention every step of the way. In fact, our guests tell us that we become like “part of the family” before, during and even after their event.

Since no bride or groom should have to worry about details on their most memorable occasion, we graciously offer our personal venue managers Jodie Knotts-Fusetti and/or Annie Knotts for suggestions and to answer any of your questions during your pre-wedding planning decisions.
