“We could not have asked for a better experience with La Gala. From our first conversation through the final dance, their team was always available to answer our questions and made us feel supported every step of the way. The day before our wedding, they checked in to confirm details, and on the big day itself, they worked so smoothly behind the scenes that we barely noticed them—everything just happened exactly as planned. If we could live our wedding over, we wouldn't change a thing, especially when it came to working with La Gala. It was truly a magical day, and two and a half months later, our guests are still talking about it. If you're doubting whether to book them, don't—you won't regret it.”

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.

“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!”

“I cannot say enough good things about our experience with our wedding at the Conrad. Savannah, our event sales coordinator, was amazing to work with. She answered all of our questions very quickly, was there on the day of our wedding to handle everything, and was so helpful all along the way. All of our guests raved about how great the food was and all of the wait staff were so kind. They provided champagne and mimosas the morning of our wedding and a beautiful cake was left in our room that night. Our wedding planner fell woefully short in many areas, and Savannah and her team really stepped up to go above and beyond and made the day perfect.”

They were incredibly easy to work with throughout the entire process, and we felt so comfortable and at home in their elegant, clean, and very spacious event space.

Awarded Best of Zola
“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!”
