HOW IT WORKS

Your Nook.
Your Moment.

From the moment you reserve to the moment you leave, we've thoughtfully considered the details so you can focus on what matters most to you.

We've Made It Simple.

The Gathering Nook takes care of the setup, styling, and behind-the-scenes details so you can simply arrive, settle in, and enjoy your moment. Choose the Nook that fits your occasion, select your location and date, and we'll take care of the rest.

YOUR RESERVATION

From Reservation to Memory

Here's what you can expect from the moment you begin planning until your Nook is packed away.

01 — DISCOVER

Choose Your Nook

Begin by exploring the Nook created for your kind of moment. Whether you're planning a date night, proposal, celebration, quiet time alone, or an intimate wedding gathering, each Nook has been thoughtfully designed with its own purpose and feel.

02 — RESERVE

Select Your Date & Time

Once you've found the Nook that feels right, choose your available date and reservation time. Your reservation is confirmed once the required information and payment have been successfully completed.

03 — TELL US ABOUT YOUR MOMENT

Complete Your Reservation Details

During the reservation process, you'll provide the information we need to prepare for your gathering—including your location, guest information, accessibility needs, and other details relevant to your reservation.

04 — ENHANCE

Add Something Special

Make your moment even more memorable with optional enhancements selected to complement your occasion. Choose from offerings such as balloon art, florals, food, sweets, non-alcoholic beverages, and other thoughtfully selected additions.

05 — WE PREPARE

We Handle the Details

Once your reservation is confirmed, we begin preparing your Nook. We coordinate the details, gather the elements included with your reservation and selected enhancements, and prepare everything so your setup is ready for your reserved time.

06 — ARRIVE

Your Nook Is Waiting

Your Nook will be fully prepared before your reserved time begins. Once your setup is ready, we'll provide the information you need to locate it.

When available, we'll send you a map pin with walking and/or driving directions directly to your Nook.

A Gathering Nook representative will remain with your setup until you arrive and may assist with location instructions if needed.

07 — BE PRESENT

Enjoy Your Moment

This is the part that matters most. Celebrate. Reconnect. Reflect. Laugh. Talk. Propose. Create memories. Take pictures. Or simply be present and enjoy your moment.

08 — WE'LL HANDLE THE REST

When Your Time Is Over

When your reserved time comes to an end, simply gather your personal belongings and leave the rest to us. The Gathering Nook handles teardown so you can enjoy your final moments without worrying about packing everything away.

YOUR LOCATION

You Choose Where the Moment Happens.

The Gathering Nook currently provides service in seven beautiful Atlanta-area parks, each offering its own setting and atmosphere for your moment.

During the reservation process, you'll select the park that best fits the moment you're creating. We'll take care of the setup, styling, and details from there.

Setup

We arrive and prepare your Nook before your reserved time.

Styling

Your selected Nook is arranged and styled according to the package you've reserved.

Enhancements

Selected enhancements are coordinated and prepared as part of your reservation.

Lighting & Power

Applicable Nook lighting and designated charging access are prepared for your reservation.

Arrival Assistance

When available, we'll help you locate your Nook with a map pin and walking or driving directions.

Teardown

When your reservation ends, we return to handle teardown.

WHEN YOU ARRIVE

We'll Help You Find Your Nook.

We know that some outdoor locations can be difficult to navigate, especially when your Nook isn't right next to a parking area.

Once your Nook is prepared, we'll provide the location information available to us to help you find it.

When available, we'll drop you a map pin with walking and/or driving directions directly to your Nook.

A Gathering Nook representative will remain with your setup until you arrive and may assist with location instructions if needed.

Our goal is simple: you shouldn't have to wander around looking for your Nook.

A Few Things to Know

Reservations are prepaid. Your reservation is confirmed once the required information and payment have been successfully completed.
Reservation Age Requirement. The person making the reservation must be at least 18 years old, and guests under 18 are not permitted inside the Nook.
Accessibility matters. We ask about accessibility needs during the reservation process so we can make reasonable efforts to accommodate them.
Weather can affect outdoor reservations. Because our Nooks are outdoors, weather and environmental conditions may require adjustments, relocation, rescheduling, or cancellation.
Pets are not permitted inside the Nook. Qualifying service animals are accommodated as required by law.
Flame-dependent hookahs are prohibited. Handheld devices that do not require charcoal, coal, an open flame, or burning material may be permitted where the location allows them.
Our power station stays with the Nook. You are welcome to use the designated charging ports for personal electronic devices, but the power station may not be removed or relocated.
Reservation Time. Please arrive within your reserved time so you can enjoy your Nook to the fullest. Your reservation will conclude at the scheduled end time unless additional time has been reserved in advance and confirmed by The Gathering Nook. Additional time is subject to availability and applicable fees.
