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

Venue considerations

  • No free parking
  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • Not for you if you prefer a more modern aesthetic
“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!”

“Dream Venue - Peaceful, Unique, Beyond Gorgeous, Awesome Hachland Hill was an incredible venue for our February wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was quick, easy, and they reached out to us frequently via email, text, and phone to check in as we planned our big day. When we booked them 4 years in advance, they stayed in close contact to ensure everything was on track. Even though it was a bit chilly for our winter wedding, they brought in heaters to keep our guests comfortable. The venue itself was even more amazing in person than the photos had suggested - the space was beautiful and the service was impeccable. The entire Hachland Hill team went above and beyond to make our wedding day truly special. We couldn't have asked for a better venue and highly recommend them to any couple looking for an unforgettable wedding experience. We had our Winter Wedding here on 2/29/2024 - beyond blessed with our experience! We planned and booked this venue four years prior and we had the first winter wedding. We visited a few times over the years in all seasons and everytime the venue was so well maintained and a showpiece. The staff was awesome and understanding of adjustments (heaters...lol) Menu choices and actual food was YUMMY... we got the cookbook 'The Hachland Hill Cookbook: The Recipes & Legacy of Phila Hach' and it was so unique to see the stories and recipes alive in the venue. We rented the Spring Creek Inn and was happy to have that as an oasis from the planning and doings that goes into the wedding day. Yes the decor was dated, but that is exactly what I expected with a rustic venue with cabin/wood/historical features. The nature and scenic backdrop that is always surrounding you is magical. My groom/hubby is a hunter at heart... I jokingly said I put him in the middle of a deer stand with all the fixings of a wedding for me. I truly can't say enough about this venue... Hachland Hill made our wedding day perfect and memorable. 10/10 recommend **Note: when looking at pics remember that it was a February wedding... the place is even more stunning is Spring, Summer, and Fall**”

“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.

“Sierra was an absolute pleasure to work with. We had a "dream" per say to get married at First Tennessee Park since that is where we met. We never in a million years thought it would happen, but from the first conversation with Sierra...it started coming together. She was very informative, offered lots of advice and additional options for us to consider. When I arrived on my wedding day...she had thought of everything! She even had baseballs lining the "aisle" I was going to walk down. I recommend them without any reservation. They were fabulous!!”

“While there are many beautiful venues in the area to choose from, I would strongly recommend the Silo's to anyone searching for a venue in Western KY. The staff are phenomenal and are so responsive in any way. They are more than willing to answer any questions or even provide suggestions, if needed. The facility itself is gorgeous. It is really the best of both worlds - modern conveniences with rustic elegance. We had good size wedding party of about 175 people and it we still had plenty of room for dancing, DJ, photo booths, bars, head tablet, buffet and appetizers and dessert table. They also have a beautiful bridal house to use the day of for hair and makeup and the men have a huge area for getting ready as well. I couldn't have asked for anything better!”
