I handle many of the events at the Iredell Senior Center and coordinated the Ribbon Cutting for the Iredell Council on Aging's new office. I have worked with Gathering's many times in the past and Lisa always has helped me. Their pricing, food, menu ideas, promptness, has always been excellent. I cannot say enough great things about this business. If you need catering and quality food along with good friendly help, call Gathering's!!!

We had an excellent experience using Gatherings for both our venue and catering for our Christmas party. From start to finish, communication was easy and seamless, which made the entire planning process stress-free. The venue was beautiful, the food was fantastic, and everything ran smoothly the night of the event. The event truly went off without a hitch, and we couldn’t have been happier. We would absolutely recommend them and look forward to working with them again in the future.

We recently hosted our hospice volunteer appreciation brunch at Gatherings, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish, as always. The staff went above and beyond to make our volunteers feel welcomed and celebrated. Their warmth, attentiveness, and professionalism created an atmosphere that truly honored the spirit of the event.
The food was outstanding—beautifully presented, plentiful, and delicious. Many of our volunteers commented on how delicious everything tasted.
The venue itself was comfortable, inviting, and perfectly arranged for our group. The staff made setup effortless and accommodated every request with genuine kindness. Working with Lisa makes everything so simple.
We are deeply grateful to Gatherings for helping us create a memorable and meaningful brunch for the people who give so much of themselves. We highly recommend this venue for any special gathering and look forward to partnering with them again in the future.

Lisa was very hands on ensured that the details were taken care of and she kept in constant communication. Our bartender, Megan was wonderful as well. Dinner was great and so was everything else. Thank you all for helping to make my husband’s birthday party memorable.
