Venues & Event Spaces near Columbia, PA

“Last weekend, our family and friends threw us a beautiful baby shower at Garth. From the time we walked into the space, we knew that the team at Garth takes great pride in what they do. Our guests raved about the art and the beautiful rooms. Cle and his team worked behind the scenes to make sure the day ran smoothly. We would recommend this space to anyone looking to throw an intimate gathering. My husband and I are still re-living the day and will truly cherish the memories we created at Garth for a lifetime!”

“The Mill was amazing! From the rehearsal the night before, the day of the wedding and bridal suite. Everything was beautiful. My daughter and son in law had the most beautiful wedding.”

“After numerous people recommending John Wright, my wife and I decided to give it a try for our anniversary dinner. We did make a reservation. Everything was excellent - from the time we walked in til we walked out. Our server was very friendly, attentive and knew the menu well. The crab and corn risotto starter was absolutely delicious. I could order just several of those and be happy. I had the crab stuffed Mahi Mahi - it was so good, I was sad when it was gone haha. My wife had the seafood manicotti. Another fantastic dish we'd order again. The dessert was a light but mouth watering cheesecake. We can't wait for a little warmer weather to dine outside. The view of the river is great from inside but even better when we walked out to the patio.”

“We held our company appreciation banquet at The Gathering Place. The food was amazing as always, and the desserts are so delicious. The staff are so friendly, and the venue is clean and well decorated. Highly recommend and look forward to future dinners at The Gathering Place.”

“Wow we had a fantastics experience here! Our service was phenomenal we have never had a server care so much about his job. Jack was our server tonight and to say he was one of the most genuine and sincere servers we have ever had is an understatement. He seemed to care about our experience as well as answering all our questions on the menu. He ran around tending to every table he had and I think he made our experience better being our server. The food and drinks were fantastic as well as the atmosphere this is definitely bucket list restaurant to try and we cand wait to share with friends. We are looking forward to returning and hoping we can have jack as our server again. Great experience through and through !!!”

“Wow… I didn’t know music and culture shops existed like this anymore. Vinyl anything you can imagine, and a ton of concert memorabilia and pop culture collectibles”

“I JUST ATTENDED A WEDDING AT THIS BEAUTIFUL VENUE,ON DECEMBER 31st. IT WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WEDDING AND RECEPTION,THAT I HAVE EVER ATTENDED AND I'VE ATTENDED MANY WEDDINGS AT A LOT OF VARIOUS VENUES.ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THIS WEDDING WAS ON SUCH A HIGHLY CELEBRATED DAY AS NEW YEARS EVE! THERE STAFF WAS AWESOME AND HIGHLY ATTENTIVE,AS EVEN THE MAN HOLDING THE DOOR FOR COCKTAIL HOUR WAS THE GENERAL MANAGER, AS I WAS INFORMED OF LATER THAT EVENING. AS THEN WE CONTINUED TO ANOTHER BUILDING FOR THE RECEPTION. WHICH WAS AS STUNNING AS THE PREVIOUS ONE. I DID FEEL THE SEATING WAS ON THE TIGHT SIDE CONSIDERING THERE WERE OVER 200 GUESTS. ALTHOUGH THE STAFF MANAGED AND DEALT WITH THIS VERY PROFESSIONALLY.THE FOOD WAS AMAZING,ALTHOUGH WOULD HAVE LOVED MORE!! EVEN THE D.J. AND SOUND QUALITY WAS EXCELLENT. THEY EVEN HAD A COUNTDOWN TO MIDNIGHT COMPLETE WITH FINGER POPPERS AND STREAMERS. WHICH MADE A HUGE MESS FOR THE STAFF AND YET THEY EVEN HANDLED THIS HUGE MESS GRACIOUSLY AND POLITELY!! THIS EVENT WAS COMPLETE WITH AN AFTER PARTY THAT BEGAN AN HOUR AFTER THE RECEPTION ENDED..WHEN THE AFTER PARTY WAS ABOUT TO BEGIN ,WE WERE LEAD DOWNSTAIRS TO THE FIRESIDE LODGE,WHICH THE STAFF WORKED DILIGENTILY TO HAVE CLEANED AND READY TO GO WITHIN THAT HOUR..THERE WAS SOME CONFUSION AROUND THE BAR AS I SAW SOME GUESTS ENTER BEHIND THE BAR AND PROCEED TO HAND OUT BEER TO OTHER GUESTS. SO WHEN THE BARTENDER RETURNS TO FIND GUESTS BEHIND HER BAR. THEY WERE TOLD TO GET OUT FROM BEHIND THE BAR AS THIS IS A BIG VIOLATION FOR THEM! WHICH DID CAUSE THE BARTENDER TO BE VERY UPSET,WHICH IS UNDERSTANDABLE. AS ANOTHER STAFF MEMBER THEN PROCEEDED TO SHUT DOWN THE BAR AND FIND THE BRIDE AND GROOM,TO DISCUSS THE SITUATION. WHICH WAS AGAIN HANDLED WITH WHAT I FELT WAS EXTREME PROFESSIONALISM.SO IN MY OPINION I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS VENUE FOR ANY EVENT AT ANY TIME OF THE YEAR. THIS PLACE AND STAFF DESERVE A LOT OF PRAISE FOR THE WAY THEY HANDLED WHATEVER SITUATION CAME THEIR WAY!!!!! FROM A VERY PLEASED GUEST”
