My husband and I recently had our wedding at Tucker's Gap Event Center on May 21st, 2026, and we could not have asked for a better experience. The venue is absolutely beautiful, well maintained, and provided the perfect setting for our special day. What truly made our experience exceptional was the on site manager, Melanie. She was incredibly organized, responsive, kind, and supportive. She went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and helped ease so much of the stress that comes with wedding planning. Knowing Melanie was there gave us complete confidence that everything would be taken care of. Nancy who is another manager also was super helpful throughout our whole Wedding planning process. She was always super responsive and super kind. She also gave us great advice and helped ease stress. Our wedding day was everything we hoped for and more, and Tucker's Gap played a huge role in making that happen. We are so grateful to Melanie, Nancy and the entire team for helping create such wonderful memories. We highly recommend Tucker's Gap Event Center to any couple looking for a beautiful venue and outstanding service!

Where do I begin… this place is a dream come true. As a former wedding coordinator, I had all of the worries going into my own wedding. I’ve seen the dark side of events & the trauma was real lol. Brooke & her team? Washed every single worry away. My day could not have gone more smoothly if I had coordinated it myself! Timeline? Flawless. Transitions? Seamless. Staff? Fun, friendly & accommodating. I was never asked a single thing, & something ALWAYS goes wrong, which meant Brooke & her team had everything so handled that any issues never reached me. I cannot thank this venue enough for making my dream wedding a reality. Not only is it a breathtaking venue with incredible views, you can just see the love & care put into it. The grass was beautifully kept, the bridal suites were spotless. I have absolutely zero complaints, no notes. I cannot suggest this space enough!

We are always thrilled when clients select Oaklands Mansion as they location for their wedding or event because their event team, Connor specifically, always makes things so easy! They are on top of every minute detail and think ahead, planning for not only what the clients might need…they anticipate the needs of the vendors as well. I cannot even begin to tell you how appreciated that is and how that translates into an even smoother running event. Truly stress free!! The catering kitchen is unrivaled throughout the middle Tennessee area and the ballroom is always impeccably kept. The addition of the beautifully landscaped patio behind the mansion for a garden party or cocktail reception, as well as the option for guests to tour the historic home makes this venue entirely unique. Anyone for whom we have planned an event for here has had guests talking about how incredible and memorable their experience was for many years after!

EPIC Event Centre 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Gallatin, TN
  • Up to 700 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

We are not another business, like a farm, a country club, or historic site that also does events occasionally. Special events ARE our business. After starting his own catering company, Chef Christopher immediately knew he wanted to own his own event venue. In 2011, EPIC Event Centre opened. Now it's all about every little detail! Chef Christopher's wife, Brenda, quickly fell in love with being an entrepreneur and became the CEO of the company. Two of their sons now work in the kitchen. Running a family business wasn't their original intention, it just happened naturally. But "the family" doesn't stop with just the Newtons. All our team members quickly become family! We tend to attract very passionate and detail oriented staff members whose #1 goal is to meet and exceed your expectations. We all love what we do and it shows.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Provides event staff
  • Classic elegance
  • Has a dance floor to dance the night away

I cannot say enough great things about Epic Event Centre! We had put off wedding planning for awhile because it seemed so stressful and overwhelming every time we started to think about it - but Epic made it SO easy. Melissa @ Epic is an absolute rockstar. She was quick to respond to emails, always able to answer my questions and explain everything, and never made me feel like a bother or like I was asking a dumb question. I really appreciated having her expertise along the way. She was always quick to let us know we could customize whatever we wanted, but would explain the pros & cons of doing things a certain way, which I really, really appreciated. Melissa helped us develop our timeline and, day-of, was there and available to make sure everything ran insanely smoothly. Epic coordinated with all of our major vendors, and the vendors that we chose through them were great! The space was great and beautifully decorated. I love that they don't nickel and dime every little thing - linens, chairs, napkins, etc. all included! PLUS they have a decor closet that we could walk through and utilize. With a few notes about what we wanted to use for our centerpieces and the general vibe we wanted, the team at Epic did a fantastic job putting it together! I also loved working with a venue that had staff available for all of the setup and cleanup - it made for an extremely stress-free day! Epic also provided the catering, and we received SO many compliments on the food! It was delicious, and so many of our guests said it was some of the best wedding food they'd ever had. 10/10 to Epic, 10/10 to Melissa, 10/10 to the whole experience. They made wedding planning smooth and easy!
