My husband and I got married at Hachland Hill two weeks ago, and I’m still glowing from the experience. We both love the outdoors, and wanted a venue that would be naturally beautiful, while still being convenient to Nashville and that would have the amenities to support the large crowd that would attend. Hachland Hill exceeded our expectations. We met with Joe Hach, owner/operator(along with Phila Hach), to check out the location, and immediately fell in love with it. Seeing it all decorated and set up on the day of the wedding was truly a sight to behold; everything was beautiful! There is an upper house with many rooms, as well as a lower Inn with five additional bedrooms. You follow a paved road down a hill behind the first house, and you’ll cross a bridge into a beautiful, wide open meadow surrounded by forest. The ceremony itself took place near the lower Inn, in front of a steel arch above the creek bed. Hachland Hill provides all of the chairs, tables, linens, tent, and catering, so you don’t have to worry about any of that. During the ceremony, I caught myself gazing up into the trees, listening to the woods, feeling so blessed and in awe of how beautiful my surroundings were. It was truly a magical place to get married! After the ceremony, the party moved to the old tobacco barn, which had been cleared out for a buffet inside, and behind the barn a covered walkway led to the tented area with tables set up for dinner. It was spectacular! We chose to put the bar in front of the barn, so that guests could get a drink and mingle outside without crowding the buffet or dinner area. I would say our wedding was«country chic», and with the beautiful creek running by, it was the most beautiful spot I could have imagined. The food, the food! Oh how delicious was the food! We chose the fried chicken(this was not your average fried chicken; it was so flavorful, crisp and heavenly!), the pork tenderloin with juniper berries(tender, juicy!), kale and sweet potato sautee, corn cakes, summer salad of mixed greens, strawberries, goat cheese and walnuts; so much food to choose from! Phila Hach, who has owned the venue for years, is a local food celebrity. She used to have a cooking show in Nashville, has published 19 cookbooks(with another on the way), and has taught at world-class culinary schools, including in Sonoma. She is in her 80’s, but she hasn’t slowed down! She is a lovely, sweet and friendly woman, and she can cook up a storm! So many people commented that they loved the food at our wedding. We were able to provide our own alcohol, which saved us a ton of money. We brought in two kegs, four cases of wine, and some liquor, and had plenty left over. After dinner, the buffet was cleared out, and we danced the night away inside of the barn. It was so much fun! After the majority of the guests left, the wedding party and immediate family spent the night at Hachland Hill, and we partied until the wee hours of the morning. No one minded, and we had a great time! Joe Hach was very easy to work with and friendly. He took care of us from the beginning of the process, and we are very appreciative of everything that he did to ensure that our wedding went smoothly. He worked hard the entire day of the wedding. We were very happy with the service that Hachland Hill provided. The prices Hachland Hill offers are extremely reasonable, we were able to have everything that we wanted as a result. We are so happy that we chose this venue! In short, I highly recommend Hachland Hill! We will always cherish our memories and hope to visit in the future. It is a very special venue!

Mrs. Hach, or just Phila for short, is the greatest. Of all time. As if her infectious southern charm wasn’t enough to make you swoon, her food will make you believe in heaven like no preacher ever could. Mrs. Hach is the real deal southern cook — she’s traveled all over the world educating people about southern cuisine. A former American Airlines flight attendant, she collected recipes from all over and eventually turned them into the basis for an airline catering business. Ask her for stories and she’ll talk to you for days. As for the food itself — every single dish is the best I’ve experienced of its kind. Fried chicken, pulled pork, green beans, pickled cucumbers, squash casserole, mashed potatoes, sweet corn. Not to mention a divine blackberry cobbler for dessert. The coffee leaves a bit to be desired, but I can hardly do any complaining after that meal. The waiting staff are unabashed professionals. Service is impeccable, and the charm of the entire house, often used as a corporate retreat spot nowadays, made me feel more at home than I’ve felt in a very long time. And I’m from Pennsylvania…
