EPIC Event Centre 
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 become the CEO of the company. Two of their sons now work in the kitchen and one son is in sales and operations. 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.

So kuddos to the team if there were any. We could not have had the wedding we did without Amanda, their vendor recommendations, and the beautiful venue itself! People still talk to me about how beautiful the venue was a year later. It is truly so dreamy and peaceful. Amanda was always available for questions that we had, which was super helpful as an anxious bride to be!

Our guests tell us that a feeling of total tranquility occurs when the pull into our property. We are kindly referred to as 'A Modern Space in a Quiet Place'. The elevation of our property gives wedding couples the most stunning sunsets. The Ruby Cora provides gorgeous views and simple elegance. Your wedding day will be full of treasured moments.

The Ruby Cora is an amazing venue! Marcia and her team went above and beyond for us. We rented the space for 2 days over Memorial weekend. I highly recommend a 2 day rental. It made things so much easier and reduced stress significantly. It allowed more time for our family and friends to hang out and see each other during set up and tear down. We had family and friends come from 16 different states and other countries. Marcia and her team made us feel at home and helped make the weekend magical! The weather was beautiful for the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, but the weather took a nasty turn the morning of the wedding. We lost power 1st thing that morning. The power remained off until about 5 minutes before the ceremony. Marcia and her team got us to a place with power to get ready and jumped in to make the changes from an outdoor to indoor ceremony. The weather cleared up for the ceremony and reception, and everything was more than I could ever dream. My guests did not even suspect the challenges we faced with the inclement weather. I am still getting calls about how amazing the weekend was and how much they loved the venue! If you want to find a place that makes you feel like family and cares about making your day magical, the Ruby Cora is the place for you!

The food was the best wedding food I have ever had, and the bar options for guests were high-class, going well beyond the typical beer and wine offerings. I cannot wait to work at Nicky's again!
