Best & most memorable wedding ever

I couldn’t have asked for a better venue to have my wedding at!! Everything came together so beautifully and was absolutely perfect, the staff was amazing and took care of my guests very well. Because of the location and venue set up we were able to have one of the most memorable grand entrances ever! Got nothing but compliments all night long on every aspect of the venue to the actual event!

Everything went off without a hitch. Everything was ready when we walked in and all the details were thought of.

I sat out to have the grandest graduation party for my daughter and couldn't be happier with any other place. The Hilltop staff was on point. All of my guests felt very well takin care of and I didn't have to do anything. Al in all it was a great experience and I would do it again.
I went to a wedding there the following weekend and again it was amazing. Thank you to Ken, Stacy and the Hilltop staff for making thse events outstanding.
