Preserving History,
Celebrating Together
"Our wedding was truly everything we had dreamed it would be—and more. As soon as we walked into the Gather Station, we knew it was the perfect place to celebrate the start of our lives together. The ambiance was magical, with the warm glow of the draping ceiling lights, lush floral arrangements, and reclaimed wood created a cozy, rustic yet elegant atmosphere.
Our guests were equally enchanted. Many of them told us it was one of the most beautiful weddings they’d ever attended, with some even saying that if they were to get married, they’d want it to look just like ours. The venue itself was just the right size, accommodating both our ceremony and reception without feeling cramped or too spread out. The patio area was another highlight, giving our guests a chance to mingle and enjoy the cocktail hour.
What truly set the Gathering Station apart was the incredible staff. From the initial planning stages to the final moments of our special day, they went above and beyond to make everything extraordinary. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine care for ensuring we had the best day ever made all the difference. We can’t thank them enough for helping turn our vision into reality and for giving us a wedding experience we’ll treasure forever."
Make Your History Here
Welcome to Gather Station, a historic venue in New Hill, 20 minutes from RDU airport, that offers a rustic and unique space for weddings and events. Celebrating a rich 300-year family history, Gather Station is a place where people gather together to create unforgettable memories.
Generative Reuse
This new wedding and event venue is constructed with walls and materials dating back to 1840 as well as more recent repurposed materials from sites in local counties.
Unique Structures
The 1840 farm store in Enno, NC (aka Holleman’s Crossroads, New Hill), which later also became a U.S. Post Office in the 1880s was demolished in 1967 for Harris Lake construction. That year, the Post Office’s walls and artifacts were relocated to Patterson’s Mill General Store in Chapel Hill, NC.
Recently, the artifacts and building materials were returned to near their original location and repurposed in a new building, with Accent Imaging donating new canvas wall hangings featuring the 1967 NC State University College of Design students’ architectural research drawings.
Three Hundred Years of Friendship
Built on the incredible legacy of the Holleman and Evans families’ enduring friendship and service to the community.
