Sarah Smith(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-03-2022 The Hilltop Club is such a beautiful location for both ceremony and reception for your wedding. We used the Nature Garden and Grand Ballroom and they were both so perfect for the wedding we had envisioned. There were so many great locations around the club for wedding photos. The food was out of this world and every guest we had was raving about the Azalea dinner menu. Everyone involved during the planning process was so helpful. We will definitely use them again for future events. Reviewed on 13-03-2022

The venue itself is gorgeous and has that great vintage feel to it. Stacy went above and beyond for me every chance she could. She told me at the beginning that she wanted to be considered family by the end and she succeeded!! Best decision ever.

Lucy Kuszewski(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-02-2020 We chose the Hilltop as our ceremony and reception space, and we were so happy with our choice! Chad, Stacey, and Leanne are all a dream to work with, as well as all of the wait staff. Chad and Stacey answered everything question we had, allowed me to check in often and drive them crazy with questions, and worked so hard to make our wedding day absolutely perfect. We truly felt like we were family, as the “family” at the Hilltop are just that kind, friendly, and caring. The ceremony space outside in the garden was so dreamy, and the reception space in the upstairs ballroom with an open layout was the perfect space for our party of approximately 90 guests. Everyone highly enjoyed the delicious food and atmosphere that the Hilltop offered. Thank you, Chad, Stacey, Leanne, our great bartender, and everyone who did so much to make our day perfect. It truly was the most dreamy day! ❤️ Reviewed on 01-04-2020

Vivian Taylor(bride)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-08-2018 It's a great venue to host a wedding but the staff lacks punctuality and communications skills. Also this venue will schedule multiple events in a day including other weddings, which wasn't a problem for us but it did get a little hectic. The ceremony space doesn't have as many flowers or greenery as it once did (probably due to hurricanes and dry weather) but it was still a nice area. The upstairs Grand Ballroom where we had our reception was beautiful! They even provided centerpieces that matched our colors and theme at a MUCH lower cost than it would have been to go to a florist ourselves. The food we had for our reception was delicious and got many compliments from guests. However, the wedding coordinators were very slow in returning emails and requests for a phone call back were often ignored. It took 3 even 4 business days for them to respond to emails which was very frustrating when trying to coordinate final details. A few contract obligations were also broken the day of our wedding without us being told until the absolute last minute which was incredibly stressful. For example, my mother was told an hour before our ceremony at 5:30pm that another ceremony scheduled for 6:30pm did not match our colors and we were told to have everything down by 6pm. That included getting all the family and wedding party pictures done as well. When my mother asked why we weren't told sooner the coordinators only response was \"Oh, Chad (the other coordinator) didn't tell you that? I thought he did.\" Also we paid for 124 guests which required 13 tables and we asked for the buffet to be set up in the room next to the reception. This was all in the contract. They only set up twelve tables and put our buffet in the same room the reception was held so there was no room to add a 13th table. Of course we were told this just before the reception started and we had to separate a family (very dear friends of ours) so they could all have seats. Their daughters ended up leaving at the begging of the reception because they felt uncomfortable having to sit with people they didn't know so I never got to see them which was really sad. Overall, it's a nice venue but for me the staff caused a lot of unnecessary stress. Reviewed on 01-09-2018

Not only was the venue beautiful, it was affordable with multiple room and food options, and Stacey made the entire process a million times easier.

Sabrina Knight(bride)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-04-2015 We choose the hilltop club for our wedding which was last weekend (4/11/15) because we loved the garden side for our ceremony and the grand ballroom was the perfect size for our reception. However there were several things that really upset me about this place. The women's restroom has 2 stalls in it and one toilet wasn't working and we told them about it the day before but the day of the wedding Stacy told my mom that there wasn't anything they could do and that they already knew about the toilet leaking and it's just an old building!!!! I was so mad I could have screamed. Our guest lists was about 135 people so for us to just have 1 toilet working was not good. Several of my guests complained about that and I felt so bad. There was also other things that they promised us but then never happened!! Example, putting new plants out and cleaning up the gradens a little and the guys were suppose to get dressed in the upstairs room but then the day of they weren't aloud to so my groom had no where to put the rest of his tux on. The worker was still outside wiping off the chairs for the ceremony when my guests were arriving so that didn't look good and lots of them were cracked and broke. The one good thing was that the wait staff during the reception was very attentive but for the amount of money that we paid to rent this venue it should have been better! Reviewed on 18-04-2015
Grace (bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-03-2015 I fell in love with it the moment I saw it. I had my rehearsal lunch in the garden room and the food was wonderful! The only issues I had is that they told me they would not be setting up for a wedding outside the windows during my event and they did, and also they were my last vendor to get everything finalized. Other than that, wonderful and a great value! Reviewed on 28-03-2015
Youlonda Patterson(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-11-2014 My husband and I held our rehearsal dinner at The Hilltop Club. Its a little tricky to get to but its well worth the time. We were able to create our own menu and they even made the menus for us free of charge We had live flowers for centerpieces and a private room. It was a lovely setting. My wedding party and family enjoyed the venue very much and so did I. Reviewed on 19-11-2014
Rachel Matrangos(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-06-2014 Robbie and Stacey made our wedding effortless. They took care of the flowers (for the decor and bouquets), the food, and the room decor, giving us so much less to worry about. We also found two of our other vendors through a list they supplied. The Ballroom was gorgeous and perfect for our wedding party of 55. We were going to be married in the nature garden but it rained, and our backup plan was executed flawlessly- we actually liked it even better than our original plan (no hot summer sun beating down on the guests). The food at the reception was incredibly good. We went to dine at the Hilltop twice before the wedding and the food was consistently good. My husband and I had a wonderful time. Our wedding was just as magical as we hoped thanks to all the hardworking staff at the Hilltop! Reviewed on 20-07-2014
Tammy Kragenbrink(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-03-2014 I walked in with a budget in mind and they exceeded my expectations. They have several banquet rooms to accommodate any size wedding large or small. The service was fantastic! Our server/coordinator was Miranda and she was amazing. She looked after me down to the smallest detail. If you are on a budget but want elegant this is the place to go. The venue looks like an older mansion and the Azaleas were in bloom and spectacular. Everyone loved the food as well. We had banquet style and a month later people are still telling us how fantastic the food was. Reviewed on 15-04-2014

Chelsey Thorp(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-01-2011 The group that runs the hilltop is absolutely amazing! I mainly dealt with Chad and Robbie and everything went so smooth. They are very accommodating and friendly. They help you do everything that you want/need for your wedding and then some. Throughout the whole planning process I could email them a question and get a response within 24 hours usually. They followed up with me twice two weeks before just to make sure everything was perfect. They also worked with my budget. The night before the wedding they allowed us to come set everything up early and Chad made sure that I was relaxed and not stressed. The food was amazing! We had many of our guests tell us that the food was some of the best they had ever had. We looked at a lot of venues and I am so happy that we decided to use the hilltop. I would recommend them again and again! My husband's cousin and my maid of honor is actually using them for their wedding! Reviewed on 10-02-2011
