We just hosted a mother-daughter dinner event at Gather. Lissi, the event manager, was so easy to communicate with and made sure she had all the details set before the event so that everything would run smoothly the day of the event. She paid great attention to detail and was very accommodating. The night of the event, the venue was set up beautifully and the owner and bartender were kind, helpful and just wonderful to work with. They went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. They cleared plates, refilled water and drink glasses, helped set up and take away food. I was just really impressed and happy with the service they provided. The space was beautiful, easy to decorate and perfect for our event. Thank you!
