    Ethereal Wedding Experiene

    We had our fantastic, dream-like wedding at Hillside Gardens in May 2026 and could not have asked for a better day or experience. Beyond our fantastic vendor team and amazing wedding planner, Erika Weeks, we had a great experience working with Hillside and with the owners Donavan & Ashlee, and the events coordinator Lauren. Hillside is a truly unique venue. When we first toured in March 2025 we were blown away by the setting and views. From March 2025 to today, they continue to incorporate upgrades into the venue, including new artwork and a brand new creek/pond that adds to the ethereal ambiance. Donavan and Ashlee were super accommodating and happy to at least consider different questions and requests we had. We live out of state but cannot wait to come back and visit for another Wednesday Concert Series and a cup of coffee!

    Thank you so much Brittany! Your wedding was so amazing and we are thankful that you all celebrated at Hillside. Come hangout if your back in town :)

    Top notch music venue, hosting the best local and regional cover and original bands. Crowds flock to dance with super fun cover bands. Their beer, wine, and whiskey selections are awesome, and the staff is friendly and accommodating! Lastly, they are also very band-friendly! They've always been really kind and accommodating to us as a band!

    Plant bingo was so fun and I love my new little plant. They were also hosting a wine/picnic in the garden for a romantic date night for couples and I would love to attend that with my boyfriend sometime minus the wine since we don’t drink. Live music and a great selection of plants to choose from! And the wedding services are beautiful!!
