Events can be booked in different hourly increments (or a weekend buyout package), with set up starting as early as 8 AM. All events must be finalized (vendors struck) by 11:00 PM day-of rental, to ensure compliance with City of Lake Wales noise ordinances.

We recommend specific vendors we love to work with to ensure a smooth event day. That said, here at Gather we are happy to meet new industry friends and collaborate with vendors our couples work with.

Bounce houses, inflatables, and unauthorized signage are not allowed in our venue. Tents are only allowed in the case of a pre- approved contingency plan.

Gather does not provide event insurance.

No. The venue is no longer affiliated with the Catholic Church, and there is no religious requirement to host an event here. While the building was originally a Catholic church, it now operates as a gorgreous independent event center.

Anyone can book the space for weddings, receptions, celebrations, meetings, and other events regardless of religious affiliation. Couples are welcome to have religious or non-religious ceremonies and may bring their own officiant and vendors in accordance with venue policies.

Load-in / Load-out windows are dependent on the rental start time and are included in your rental time-frame.

Yes, there is free parking on site.

Gather by LWAC follows the City of Lake Wales Noise ordinance, with all excessive noise ending by 10 PM.

If requested by the renter, LWAC has a rain contingency plan for all events engaging the outdoor patio, with a non-refundable retainer cost of $2,500.
