Gather Walnut Creek - Walnut Creek, California

I am not local and hosted my baby shower here. The entire Gather team made the planning easy! They were very communicative from start to finish. They provided tables, chairs, linens, table placements, bartenders, backdrops, set up, and clean up. They also provide decorating and catering services. Lissi and Martiza were wonderful to work with! Thank you for making this the baby shower of my dreams

We are still on Cloud 9 with our experience at Gather! What started as a surprise from my fiancé turned into the most magical wedding day, all thanks to the incredible team at Gather. On October 25th, my fiancé took me to Gather as a surprise, and I had no idea we'd be planning our wedding in just a matter of weeks! Miguel had been in touch with Lissi prior to this, but our first in-person meeting was with Ashlyn, who welcomed us with open arms and showed us this charming blank canvas venue. The moment I stepped in, my mind started racing with endless possibilities for how to transform the space.
We decided to elope and sent out our invite to our guests on 11/1/2024, and just a couple of weeks later, we hosted an intimate wedding celebration for 54 guests on 11/17/2024. It was incredible how everything fell into place so quickly. Lissi was a huge part of that — she recommended an amazing florist and decorator who truly brought my vision to life. We chose the Gold Collection package, which was a great package for our event, though we did upgrade to accommodate our larger guest list.

Throughout the process, we had several Zoom calls & an in-person meeting with Lissi, Maritza, the florist, and the decorator to fine-tune our ideas. One of my main goals was to create an elegant, formal atmosphere with some unique touches. I wanted sheer fabric with lights hanging from the ceiling, and Maritza made that dream a reality. The space was on the smaller side but perfect for our celebration. It started as a bright, elegant area for the ceremony and was transformed into a romantic, candlelit reception. The transition from airy and light to warm and intimate was exactly what we wanted for our special day.

Our package also included a professional photographer, but we had no idea who we would be working with until we met David Sachs — and wow, what a photographer! David’s professionalism and attention to detail were exceptional... our guests loved his enthusiasm! He made sure to capture every moment, and his creativity shone through in the stunning photos he took. One highlight was our group photo with everyone throwing rose petals in the air, which David made sure turned out beautifully. We also requested a videographer, and David brought in Emiliano, who was wonderful to work with. While we haven’t seen the final video yet, we have no doubt it will be just as breathtaking as the photos.

Although the short timeline presented some challenges, the Gather team came through with a spirit of collaboration, fostering mutual understanding and great teamwork.

If you're looking for a venue that feels personal and intimate, Gather is the place. Our wedding was what we imagined and more, and we truly can’t thank the Gather team enough for making it all come together & helped bring our vision to life in such a short time to plan!

Highly recommend!

This space was perfect for my wife’s 40th birthday! I loved Lissi she was amazing the whole time she took on all the heavy lifting and I was so pleased! We used the suggested catering and the food was amazing all of the guest raved about the food and how fresh it was. My wife has celiac and they had so many good options for gluten free! (If you know you know GF isn’t always the best but this was great! Normally she has limited options but there was so much to choose from) the space was great for our smallish group of 20 but could easily accommodate more comfortably. I chose a more simple layout and decor but there was a lot of options to choose from. I loved that all the set up and take down was done for me and it was stress free! I would definitely use again!!

Gather was the perfect venue for my baby shower, not only was it absolutely BEAUTIFUL (needs very little decor), the staff were incredible. David was amazing! He was extremely responsive but most of all was very kind and easy to work with. I felt so at ease and I knew that they were going to take care of all the details. He went above and beyond to make sure that my event was a success and he even took stunning photos that I will cherish forever. I'm so incredibly grateful for David and Alex (who was also wonderful). I will definitely continue to book Gather for future events. They are just the BEST!!!

We had a wonderful experience at Gather and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice venue in a great location.

We celebrated a milestone birthday at Gather and had a great experience. Lissi, Maritza and the team were very responsive and a pleasure to work with - we worked through the details and they would give expertise / advice where needed if there were options we weren't sure about.

Thanks for a wonderful event!

Gather event space is perfect for my mom's intimate 70th birthday. They went above and beyond on making sure that all the small details are taken care of before our event. On the day of, they helped me on everything I need and make sure that what I requested is in place. My mom was so happy on her birthday and we will be definitely coming back for other events.
