Gather on 3 Event Center

Thank you so much for the great job you did catering the lunch for our annual planning meeting. Everything was delicious, especially the pulled pork and walleye fingers. We appreciated how easy you were to work with and look forward to doing more business with you in the future!

We (EI Global Energy Services) had our 2015 Christmas party for 25 individuals at The Woods bar and restaurant. Lori was our main contact for setting up our meal and banquet setting. She was absolutely wonderful, paid attention to the littlest of details, and her staff was extremely professional with smiles! Pricing, food, accommodations, everything was to the highest and affordable standards. I would recommend Lori and this facility to anyone, please feel free to contact our company for details and a referral! Once again Lori and crew were awesome!

Thank you Megan, Randy, and your staff! Our event last night was a huge success! The venue was spot on, the food was wonderful, and the service was great!

Awesome menu selections, high quality food and cocktails, very decent prices. The waitstaff were all very friendly. The best part was the atmosphere. There is lots of outdoor seating. The tables, chairs and decor are beautifully crafted. Great place for date night or an after work social. Oh and the "Build Your Own Bruschetta" was the best I've ever had!

Everyone sure enjoyed all the wonderful hors d'oeuvres and the great service from your team. We'll use you again and recommended you to anyone that can use your catering service.

Thanks much!

My bride and I had our wedding and reception here and I can't say enough great things about the the location, the food, the value, and most of all the owners and staff. From beginning to end, every step of the way was a pleasure and they could not have been more accommodating. We had family and friends in from all over the country and everyone had a magnificent time. I cannot thank them enough nor can I recommend them strongly enough.

As a chef, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of service and menu items that were executed in a professional manner on a busy Saturday night. The atmosphere is truly remarkable. Can’t wait to return and experience the beautiful patio area. What a gem for the Northern Brainerd community! Well done! Try the self service tap beer area.

PJ and her team are a dream to work with! We hired The Woods after receiving a recommendation on how fantastic their food is. I actually had a different wedding caterer booked, so I was nervous that the Woods might not live up to the hype (and worth the deposit lost). I cannot recommend the Woods enough. We hosted a fully outdoor wedding at my in law's cabin property - very stressful to not have a catering kitchen, onsite dinnerware, etc. PJ helped guide me through the entire planning process of what rental items we needed and what food would travel best for an offsite wedding. She also worked closely with my tent rental company, Party Time Rental, to make sure everything was running smoothly and all items were dropped off/picked up on time. We received SO many compliments on the wedding food- and people rarely compliment wedding food! Much less for an offsite wedding at someone's home. I am so pleased with the Woods and the best part is, we can pop into their restaurant anytime to re-experience their amazing meals. Don't hesitate to book the woods for your next catering event!

Thank you all so much for making our wedding day so amazing! We had so much fun! The house we stayed in was perfect and our day went so smoothly! We appreciate everything you've done for us.
