What folks are saying about us

The perfect place for a baby shower. Held 50 people comfortably and worked beautifully. It’s lovely inside and Cynthia has thought of everything to make an event run smoothly — tables and chairs with table cloths, a nicely appointed catering kitchen and an elegant backdrop. Used Greenhouse Catering — the food was delicious and they were great to work with. Would highly recommend them both.

I had afternoon tea with my daughter and her step-dad, and we had the most amazing time!!! The staff was so friendly and attentive, the tea was incredible, and the food was delicious!!!! Dad cannot stop talking about the apple-boursin cheese sandwiches!! He keeps going on saying that he has never had apples and cheese together and he didn’t think it would be good, but it was one of his favorite things on the menu!!!! (He’s probably going to make me find a recipe online.) We had such a fabulous experience that I registered for the remaining six tea events they have planned for the rest of the year, but this time more of my family will be joining us because they were super bummed I only made the reservation for three this time around. So we can not wait for the upcoming months!!!!

Susan Robinson

This is such a great space to rent for so many occasions! We held a celebration of life luncheon at Gatherings and it was a warm, comfortable space for friends and family. The catering kitchen is well equipped, clean and modern. Cynthia was very accommodating and responsive – start to finish it was a wonderful experience!

Irma Robinson

My daughter’s baby shower couldn’t have been at a better venue. It is homey and warm with elegance and class. Cynthia was a pleasure to work with and I will be sure to tell everyone about this gem.

Eileen Holman

Today we held a baby shower event for 60 people at Gatherings in Milford, NH. Several of our guests commented on the beauty of the venue and the floor plan. Cynthia was so kind and fun to work with. This is an amazing event space.

Due to COVID-19 we postponed our big wedding and had a small ceremony and dinner with 25 guests. Cynthia was a dream to work with – super responsive, very helpful with suggestions for layouts and color schemes, and met with me (safely, following all guidelines) multiple times to walk through the space and make sure it would be “just right”. Our family and guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the venue is! If you’re planning an event in Milford, this is the perfect spot! I can’t recommend it enough, it was absolutely perfect for our COVID-conscious wedding.

Lexi C

We had a baby shower here and it was the perfect setting. very elegant and clean. My guests raved about how beautiful it was. Cynthia was a dream to work with work planning the event and very accommodating. Met with her several times to make sure all our needs would be taken care of.
The space is large enough to have a decent amount of guests and be within (covid-19) guidelines.
I highly recommend and hope to have more functions here.
