I recently got married on 10/25/25 and we had our reception at The Hilliard Events. Todd was absolutely amazing! He went above and beyond and even with some behind the scenes issue...
s with our cake falling while we were having our ceremony, Todd jumped right on it and called our bakery to have a back up brought in before anyone even noticed! It was everything we dreamed of and would truly recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful rustic venue. We also had access to the building next door for photos and they came out amazing! We will definitely consider the venue again for any future events we have.
