Amazing Event
Wendy was so easy to work with and accommodating to every request! I loved how responsive she was, too. Lorenzo did a great job with set up, clean up, and attending to our every need during our event. I would definitely host another event at the Highland Park Community House!

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.

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.

We absolutely love working here. It is beautiful and the staff is always great to work with. We can't say enough good things about this place.
An intimate space for your quaint event! Staff and food are excellent. Personalize the space by working with a floral professional for your table decor. A great event space for weddings or other special occasions! Working with local vendors often saves you money and hassle!
