How it's used
Carries a slightly more formal or sentimental tone compared to the everyday word 聚頭. It is often used to describe reunions or gatherings that are meaningful or have been anticipated for a long time. While 聚頭 can be used for any casual meeting, 相聚 implies a sense of cherishing the time spent with others.
Examples
The group of old colleagues had a great time gathering together.
