For many years we have walked by the Hill Center on our way to/from our house and Barracks Row. We've attended community events and children's birthday parties here, and I've always admired the beautiful garden. When it came time to pick or wedding venue, this neighborhood gem was my first choice. They were very responsive when reaching out to pick a date and begin planning. We went with a outdoors wedding in the garden with only 55 guests, to take advantage of the lush greenery as our natural decor. Divinity helped suggest a tent vendor when we needed to secure our rain/shade plan, and helped advise on the best set up and layout we wanted to achieve. Part way through the planning Divinity went on maternity leave, but Lisa was right there to keep things going! She helped with all of the last minute questions and was very accommodating with the storage of our alcohol and florist items before/after the event. We cant wait to keep attending (and hosting) more events here!

We had our wedding party/reception at the Hill Center in April 2018 and can't say enough good things about it. Lisa is so easy to work with. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how neat the space is, especially the artwork on the walls. We rented the entire second level for about 120 guests and it was a perfect size. The Hill Center staff that helped out at our event were superb. We can't say enough good things about this space and highly recommend it.

My wife and I choose the Hill Center over a few hotels downtown because it was different and right on the hill. They were super responsive and willing to work with us. They had a number of vendors they recommended that we used and loved. My only regret is that the party didn't last longer.
