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 creates thoughtfully curated settings for meaningful moments, whether you're gathering in an Atlanta-area park, at a private property, or inside an eligible private venue. Choose the Nook that fits your occasion and follow the reservation or inquiry process for that offering. We'll guide you through the details from there.

YOUR RESERVATION

From Reservation to Memory

The steps below outline the general process. Exact details vary by Nook, location, and whether the offering is booked online or begins with an inquiry.

01 — DISCOVER

Choose Your Nook

Begin by exploring our available Nooks and choosing the one that fits your occasion. Offerings are designed for different moments, from quiet time alone and date nights to proposals, celebrations, weddings, and gatherings at indoor or private properties. Review each offering for its setting, capacity, inclusions, and booking process.

02 — RESERVE

Select Your Date & Time

For offerings with online booking, select an available date and time and complete the required information and payment. Some offerings, including the Signature Nook, begin with an inquiry. For those, submit the inquiry first and wait for approval and instructions before completing payment.

03 — TELL US ABOUT YOUR MOMENT

Complete Your Reservation Details

Share the details needed to prepare for your gathering. Depending on the Nook you've selected, this may include your chosen park or private-property venue, guest count, occasion, accessibility needs, and other information relevant to your reservation or inquiry.

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

We'll prepare your Nook before your reserved time begins. For park Nooks, we'll provide the available location details to help you find the setup. For private-property and indoor bookings, setup arrangements will follow the details confirmed for your location.

For park Nooks, when available, we'll send a map pin with walking and/or driving directions to help you locate your setup.

Arrival instructions and any on-site assistance will depend on the Nook you've reserved and the arrangements confirmed for your location.

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.

Your moment doesn't have to happen in a park. The Gathering Nook offers park settings as well as options for eligible private properties, homes, backyards, and indoor venues.

If you're booking a park Nook, explore our Atlanta-area park guide to find a setting that fits your occasion. If you're planning an indoor or private-property gathering, explore the Nook offerings to find the option designed for that setting.

Each offering has its own details, capacity, inclusions, and booking process. Review those details before reserving or submitting an inquiry.

What We Take Care Of

Your reservation includes more than a beautiful setup. We handle the behind-the-scenes details so your attention can stay where it belongs—on your moment.

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

Lighting or charging access is provided only when included with your selected Nook and confirmed for your location.

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.

Arrival instructions and any on-site assistance will depend on the Nook you've reserved and the arrangements confirmed for your location.

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. Inquiry-only offerings follow their own approval and payment process.
Reservation Age Requirement. The person making the reservation must be at least 18 years old. Guests under 18 may attend when permitted by the specific Nook offering and event arrangements.
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 outdoor Nooks are subject to weather and environmental conditions, adjustments, relocation, rescheduling, or cancellation may be necessary.
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 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 concludes 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.
