Facilities and Capacity
English Hills Event Centers has a selection of six distinct occasional rooms as well as two event facilities. These spaces hold a range of 40 to 500 guests, depending on the arrangement.

SPECTACULAR!!...if there is a word more descriptive than this, it slips me at the moment. Speaking from the mother of the bride's point of view, I can tell you that upon meeting Linda, the wedding coordinator in charge of both facilities, I immediately admired her warm approach and enthusiastic energy. One can tell from the get go, that she truly LOVES what she's doing, believes in the flawless customer service she and her staff can provide, gives gentle guidance to couples and their families who are wrestling with too many decisions to be made all at once, BUT still leaves the final decision up to her client(s), and has a talented eye for detail! Often times, she works well beyond the normal 9-5 workday (ie. checking and answering emails from home, etc.), and is willing to be flexible around the client's busy schedule. Her staff is next to none, working tirelessly on set up, last minute changes, preparing & providing excellent, palatable food service, bartending and tear-down...all with a smile on their faces. This translates into your guests feeling comfortable and welcome at your celebration! Really? When you think about it, isn't that a top priority on anyone's entertaining list? This venue DELIVERS and gets my 100% stamp of satisfaction!! Thank you, thank you, Linda & staff for making my daughter's dream wedding a reality!

Best Venue Ever!
Kim and her staff were fabulous! Kim checked in often and was always there when we had questions. She always had time to meet with us in person. Kim made us feel very welcomed. The event center was gorgeous and staff on the wedding day were very attentive and genuinely excited for us. Very affordable! Thank you to all staff and Kim for being with us every step of the way. We highly recommend English Hills!
