The Olde Church

The Olde Church is a historic wedding and event venue in Cumberland Gap, Tennessee, offering a distinctive setting for intimate celebrations, receptions and community gatherings. Built in 1890 and carefully restored, the former Methodist church combines period character with practical facilities for modern event planning.

The main sanctuary provides a light-filled, climate-controlled space for ceremonies, receptions, parties and other private functions. The venue welcomes weddings, elopements, baby showers, birthday celebrations, graduation parties, fundraisers and similar occasions, with a maximum capacity of 100 people. Tables, white chairs and tablecloths are included with event bookings, while additional rental items are available to help organisers shape the room around their preferred style.

Outside, the property includes extensive gardens and a large garden tent, creating options for outdoor gatherings, photographs, informal receptions and seasonal celebrations. A commercial kitchen supports event catering, and organisers can discuss catering solutions and other practical requirements with the venue team. The space is accessible from the designated parking area and includes two accessible bathrooms.

Wedding packages range from short elopement bookings and ceremony-only hire to full wedding receptions with rehearsal time, set-up support and use of the venue throughout the day. The nearby Parsonage Guest House adds a convenient preparation and accommodation option, with bedrooms, bathrooms, a kitchen and a dedicated space for wedding-day preparations. With its personal service, flexible hire options and memorable historic surroundings, The Olde Church gives event organisers a versatile venue for weddings and private celebrations in the Cumberland Gap area.
