About this vendor
Thank you for your interest! Please note that the Town Building event venue at the Hilliard Art Museum is under renovation until 2024.
The Hilliard Art Museum is a venue-only site that may be used for a ceremony and/or reception. It located on the campus of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. The tiled outdoor plaza has a working waterfall and is situated between the historic A. Hays Town Building and the museum’s main building. The juxtaposition of the traditional, column southern home and the modern, sleek architecture of the museum provide a unique backdrop for your dream wedding.

It was very easy to work with The Hilliard- they were prompt with responses and I was able to stop by and do some planning whenever they were open. The venue is so unique and we fe...
ll in love with it due to the open air space and the string lighting options. Our guests loved dancing under the stars!
Venue was aesthetically excellent, however working with the staff was at sometimes difficult. For example, it wasn't until the day before the wedding that we were informed that the...
DJ couldn't be placed where we had previously agreed. Also, the power went out when the party supplier tried to plug in string lights- the Hilliard's response was to make us purchase a $600 generator.

We were told different things regarding rules and allowances depending on which coordinator we spoke with. All in all, organization was a little lacking, but the venue was still beautiful and we had fun.
Phenomenal experience. Very very pleased with picking this amazing venue for my reception on the biggest day of my life. Everyone said how beautiful the venue was and that it was v...
ery different. They lived how it was a modern meets old school look. They said they felt like they were not in Lafayette because it feels as though they were in another place.

ontacts for my questions, instead of one employee dealing with all things wedding. That being said, it is an absolutely lovely setting to spend your wedding day. The lighting, pictures, and ambiance were fabulous. I would not have changed my location for the world, but I do not recommend this venue for the bride who wants an easy, all-inclusive sort of venue.
I recently held both my ceremony and reception at the Art Museum. It was just beautiful. We received so many compliments on the venue. The space is so interesting and different. My...
only complaint would be that the lights in the hall were off all night and we could never figure out how to turn them on. It wasn't such a big deal, but it was odd. Other than that, our experience was perfect.
