Gatherings at Thatcher Farms is a multi-venue property nestled in the scenic countryside of Eramosa Township, offering two unique venues: The Gathering House and Barn Swallow Fields. Both venues blend rustic charm with timeless elegance, providing the perfect setting for unforgettable weddings. Conveniently located near Toronto, Guelph, Kitchener/Waterloo, and Orangeville, couples and their guests can enjoy the serene beauty of rural Ontario while staying close to urban amenities.

The Gathering House: Micro Weddings with Big Charm

The Gathering House is perfect for intimate, micro weddings, offering a cozy indoor space that can accommodate up to 50 seated guests or 80 for a standing reception. With 1,200 sq. feet of beautifully designed space, it features natural wood accents, vintage plates & tea cups. The venue is set against the picturesque backdrop of Thatcher Farms' 140 acres, with breathtaking views from the wrap-around porch and a designated outdoor ceremony space. The Gathering House is ideal for couples looking for an intimate, countryside celebration infused with charm and elegance.

Barn Swallow Fields: Rustic Elegance for Larger Weddings

Barn Swallow Fields offers a stunning 4,000 sq. foot barn-inspired venue, perfect for larger wedding celebrations. Its rustic, yet sophisticated design features a neutral palette, 17’ cathedral ceilings, and handcrafted timbers, creating a perfect canvas for dream weddings. The space can accommodate up to 140 seated guests with options for additional accommodations. Outdoor ceremony spaces, expansive farm views, and indoor/outdoor bar areas make Barn Swallow Fields the ideal backdrop for couples seeking a mix of rustic charm and elegance.

Culinary Teams

At both venues, we proudly work with two exclusive culinary teams, Gilt Catering and Indulge Natural & Organic
Kitchen, ensuring that every event offers not only an unforgettable atmosphere but also exceptional dining experiences.

Dana Thatcher
Founder at Barn Swallow Fields

HI THERE! I'M DANA.

I’m a lover of all things antique and floral, I am an avid reader of anything business and entrepreneurial related and I love coffee and a good gin and tonic equally. My husband inspires me daily, he can build, fix and do just about anything. My three children are the loves of my life. Getting to work and farm alongside my family has been such a gift.

Growing up in a small town, farm life was new to me. While I always loved good food and being in the country, it wasn’t until I met my husband that I realized my love and passion for agriculture.
