I canโt say enough great things about Gatherings! From the moment I contacted them until we were leaving the event, they were friendly, patient, and accommodating. 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 husbandโs birthday party memorable.

I hosted my 30th birthday which turned out to be my surprise proposal/engagement party at The Gatherings. Lisa and team were very great to work with and more than accommodating. 10/10 definitely recommend this place for all your special events. Itโs Statesville hidden gem.

Gatherings just catered my daughter in laws baby shower. We had 40 guests and choose Parmesan encrusted chicken with baked potatoes and mixed greens salad. Everything was delicious, moist and tasted great! Everyone asked who made the food. I would definitely recommend using them. Lisa and Donna were fantastic to work with!

We used Gatherings for our wedding this past week. They arrived 17min late, 2 of our sides were not correct per the contract and then when my dad came up to thank them at the end of dinner and he offhand mentioned that we had quite a bit of food leftover one of the servers (or it might have been Lisa) snapped at him "its the contract!"...meaning that it was our responsibility to bring containers to take home any leftover food. Which was not what he was asking. And if she cared about the contract then why were our sides not correct? The tasting went great, the indoor event space looks great, and they seemed nice/organized/professional when we booked them. But based on my experience I don't really recommend using them.
