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!!

Our wedding at The Bell Tower was truly the best day of our lives! Aside from the venue being absolutely stunning, and very convenient for the guests, working with our wedding coordinators, Emily and Carli, is what made everything so spectacular! They were fabulous to work with and made everything so easy, from beginning to end. The planning process was seamless and the actual day, I couldn’t have been calmer. I didn’t have to worry about a thing and they went above and beyond from making sure I ate, making sure everyone was lined up for photos, and even calming my dad down as he was very nervous for his speech. I couldn’t be happier with our experience and thank you to Emily and Carli for making everything so perfect!! I will never stop referring them and/or The Bell Tower! If I could give 100 stars, I would!

Awarded Best of Zola
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**
