Who We Are

At Gates Hospitality Group, hospitality is at the center of everything we do – From the way we treat our clients and community, to the decades of experience in its namesake industry that we bring to the table. We’re proud of our expertise in brand and communications strategy, and our passion lies in sharing that with our clients and communities.


Over the years, we’ve learned that business success is built not only on hard-earned experience, dedication, and education, but also genuine connection and intentional relationships. We’re on a mission to truly understand our clients: their business strategies, their goals, and their challenges. 


If you're looking for the missing piece, we’d love the opportunity to act as an extension of your team, to bring our passion and expertise, and to drive sustainable business growth together.
