What people are saying about their experience at The Gathering at Bailey Creek!
5 stars isn’t enough for this gorgeous venue! We literally had the wedding of our DREAMS. The owners, Paul and Lynnette were absolutely amazing. Not only did they take care of all the decor and set up/clean up; any and every idea we had, they made it happen. They answered every text message, email, and phone call promptly, even going as far as to FaceTime us on a busy weekend to help us with figuring out details. Their professionalism, creativity, kindness, accommodating nature, and enthusiastic attitude made our wedding planning process so much easier. As for the venue, you just have to see it for yourself. It’s honestly a work of art. Our guests raved about it. When my husband and I first walked inside, we knew instantly that was where we wanted to get married. It’s not like any other venue we’ve seen or toured. It’s unique. It’s modern. It’s beautiful. It’s the perfect set up for any style wedding or ceremony. Even the layout is perfectly thought out for the guests and the wedding party. They have all the decor you could possibly need for whatever theme/color you want on top of having their own catering including other services. We were beyond impressed with the venue, the owners, and their staff. Can’t wait to go back someday!

Wow, wow, wow – my husband and I will be talking about our experience at this magical venue for the rest of our lives! Our September 17th wedding day was nothing short of perfect and we owe a huge thank you to Lynette and Paul for how seamlessly our day unfolded. These two as well as their staff were continuously working behind the scenes to ensure every detail and dream we had envisioned became reality. We knew from our first visit that this was our dream venue and were reminded up until the day of cleanup why we entrusted Paul and Lynette with our special day. We will most definitely be back in the future for other special occasions to come & are so excited to see future additions to the establishment! We thank you very much and we highly recommend this beautiful venue.

I got married at the Gathering a little over a week ago. I can’t explain how happy I am that I picked this venue! As a bride who planned my own wedding, it was a HUGE relief to have Lynnette answer all of my questions and being willing to help and be involved with my big day. I could truly feel relaxed knowing that I could trust her to go above and beyond to make sure everything went to plan. I do not know any other venues that do things that are outside of their job description to help your wedding go wonderfully. She truly cares about her brides and everyone involved. We toured many venues in a hour radius of the Elmira area and I can honestly say that no venue was as gorgeous or had as much to offer as The Gathering At Bailey Creek. Also I did not meet any other owner besides Lynnette who would help out so much to make your wedding fantastic. The ceremony site and waterfall was breathtakingly beautiful. The bridal brunch, dinner, candy bar, s’mores and desserts were delicious and the presentation was wonderful. Our guests were amazed by the suspended grazing table!! In my opinion this venue is hands down the best around. It made it so stress free to be able to have a venue that’s a one stop shop and is willing to help you throughout the whole day. I couldn’t help but write a long review because this venue is so phenomenal and Lynnette and Paul made my wedding day perfect! I am SO incredibly grateful!!

This is the most beautiful venue ever! We looked at a lot of venues and nothing compared to The Gathering at Bailey Creek. However, the venue is just a small part of what makes this place so special. Lynette and Paul are truly the magic behind this place. They made the wedding of our dreams a reality and took all the stress out of it. This truly is a labor of love for them and they go above and beyond to make sure their guests have the best experience. Thank you again for the perfect day!

Absolutely wonderful people and location! I can’t say enough about Lynette and Paul! We had our mini wedding there. From the very beginning all the way to the day of they made everything so easy and run so smoothly! Everything was decorated so beautifully for us. The food was delicious and the desserts as well! The cake was amazing so moist and full of flavor. Paul does an absolute amazing job smoking the meats. We had the chicken and pulled pork. The pulled pork was my favorite. Also Lynettes mac & cheese is to die for. 100% recommend having your event there as well as catered by them.

We have had our wedding here and our baby shower and Lynette has done an amazing job for both. She knew exactly what my vision was before I even had a chance to tell her and she always comes through with the little details. Her cupcakes are our favorite part!!

Highly recommend Gathering at Bailey Creek. My vision for my wedding came together so beautifully. Lynette and her husband were so accommodating in letting us make the space our own. The venue is in a beautiful area but also close to so many hotels and downtown corning. They have lots of decor to choose from if you aren’t looking to spend a lot on your own. I did all of my own florals but Lynette had chargers, plates, candle holders and many other things available for me to use. We ran into a few issues and they both went above and beyond to come up with solutions to fix the problems. Thank you both for everything!

We had our wedding at The Gathering at Bailey Creek on 05/25/2024 and I couldn’t have asked for a better venue for my wife and I. The scenery was perfect, the venue was immaculate, and the best part was the owner Lynette who made the whole experience just wonderful 🎉 Would recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married near the Corning, NY area.
