Gorgeous Venue!!
We had our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah at HPCH last weekend. The venue was the perfect fit for our Harry Potter themed party. The arched ceilings and overall charm added to the experience. Wendy was extremely helpful and a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We highly recommend!!

House Call Music Recital
We just had another successful recital this past Sunday and I couldn’t recommend the Highland Park Community House more!
This is our 12th year using this facility and the space is beautiful!
….Not to mention the incredible sounding Mason and Hamlin grand piano!
Thanks to Wendy and we are looking forward to next year!

The Perfect Venue
The Highland, Park, Community, House was the perfect venue for our television production. We used the ballroom space. It was very spacious with tons of charm. Wendy Horwitch was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was extremely accommodating and made our experience that much better. I recommend this venue for anyone looking to do an event or television production.The Highland, Park, Community, House was the perfect venue for our television production. We used the ballroom space.

Professional, kind, attentive and patient. We are so grateful to be working with Wendy!
Wendy has been nothing short of amazing throughout this process! We have not even had our wedding yet but anytime I send a text, email, or call, she always gets back to me within minutes or at the least the same day! Her attentiveness, patience, and kindness is unmatched! We are so excited to finally have our wedding at the HP house in a few months and so far, Wendy has made the process easy and stress free!

A unicorn venue: flexible, beautiful, and so easy to work with
We had the absolute best experience having our wedding reception at Highland Park Community House. Truly, it was perfect. We attribute that to the fact that Wendy, HPCH's Executive Director, is such a gem of a person, so easy to work with, very communicative, doesn't nickel and dime you, allows for flexibility, is accountable, and makes you feel at ease every step of the way. It's very clear that the operation at HPCH is smooth and positive because you feel it as a client. Wendy and HPCH made our vision and dream to have a 70s disco themed wedding reception a reality, and we wouldn't have been able to pull it off without Wendy and the HPCH team. Thank you for everything you did for us to make our event life changing and memorable. Please run, don't walk, to schedule your next event at Highland Park Community House. You will not be disappointed!!!We had the absolute best experience having our wedding reception at Highland Park Community House. Truly, it was perfect.

Highland Park Community House is a GEM
HPCH is a true gem in downtown Highland Park. The charm starts the minute you walk up the steps and you are swept away by the ballroom and everything that surrounds it. It is truly an amazing place to host any event!! Wendy and her team are simply the best!! They provide top notch customer service, extremely responsive, and so easy to work with that they will do whatever they can to make your event the best it can be. We CANNOT wait to book our next event there!!HPCH is a true gem in downtown Highland Park.

Wonderful experience! Highly recommend!
We recently had our daughter's Bat Mitzvah celebration at the Highland Park Community House. It was AMAZING! The rental fee was very reasonable, which we loved. The staff was flexible and super easy to work with and the ballroom was gorgeous! Our guests were raving about the venue. Our adult guests also enjoyed a separate cocktail area which was in the living room, as they call it. It was perfect! We also had desserts in there as well. We didn't use the outdoor space but love that it's available if you would like to use it. I would highly recommend this venue for any event, large or small!We recently had our daughter's Bat Mitzvah celebration at the Highland Park Community House. It was AMAZING!

Ideal location for local awards reception
We have held our annual grant awards reception at the Community House for years. Wendy and her staff are outstanding to work with! The layout has been ideal for pre-event mingling and seated dining during the awards presentation. It's a perfect site for many kinds of events.We have held our annual grant awards reception at the Community House for years. Wendy and her staff are outstanding to work with!

Handsome venue at a reasonable price
The HPCH was able to accommodate an event of ours at the last minute. The space has an old North Shore elegance but clean and neat . It has a pretty good kitchen than makes it easier for your caterer to do their job.The HPCH was able to accommodate an event of ours at the last minute.

The Highland Park Community House
I would like to start off by saying if we could give more than 5 stars for rating/review, we absolutely would.
From the first conversation we had with Wendy in obtaining more information on the venue, we knew this would be where we HAD to get married. Wendy was always responsive, eager to help, and very organized with planning. Efren was on staff the day of our reception and he was a true blessing. Very kind, accommodating and didn't hesitate to help when needed.
The venue itself is absolutely beautiful. It required minimal decoration because it already has its own unique set up from the yellow curtain on stage, to the green drapes and to the amazing chandeliers all around.
With that being said, we could not be happier with choosing the Highland Park Community House for our wedding ceremony and reception.I would like to start off by saying if we could give more than 5 stars for rating/review, we absolutely would.

Great experience. Wendy and her team were very helpful before and during the event.
I would highly recommend the Community Center. As a bartender, I found it very easy to work with Wendy and her team. She was available and helpful with all questions and requests I had. The on-site coordinator was friendly and available all evening as the event went on.I would highly recommend the Community Center.
