Hidden Hills was such a wonderful venue and the staff were an absolute delight to work with! They always kept in contact, responded quickly, and made sure to keep us up to date on ...
any potential changes or ideas for plans. Their pricing is very reasonable, especially with how beautiful the space is and the amount of time that they were able to provide! They were also very accommodating for the date and time, even if it was outside of normal business hours. We were able to meet in person and plan out how we wanted it set up, and the staff went in early that day to set it up so that it was just ready for us to come in and set up our own decorations. They made every part of the process easy which reduced a lot of stress. I can truly say that they went above and beyond to help make our wedding such a beautiful and wonderful day, and we are so thankful to the Hidden Hill staff for providing such excellent service and an equally excellent space! If you are looking for a quiet, pretty location for your wedding, then I completely recommend Hidden Hills as the place to book!
