The Club at Hillbrook

Our wedding at The Club at Hillbrook was an absolute dream! We could not thank Gina, Sophie and their staff more!! They made the planning process an ease and were always ready to answer my many questions. My bridesmaids and I had the best day getting ready on the property and had everything we needed to enjoy the morning. Staying the night in the bridal suite was the best way to start our honeymoon, the staff even left us pieces of our wedding cake to enjoy in bed! Such a dream day! We cannot thank Hillbrook and all their staff enough!

I truly could not be happier that we decided to hold our wedding at Hillbrook. I may be biased, but I think it is one of the most beautiful wedding venues in the Cleveland area. Hillbrook provides such a unique experience for guests, and ours raved about the ambiance - it was truly like a fairytale. The Hillbrook staff provided 10/10 service. Everything went perfectly on our wedding day thanks to their expert planning and attention to detail. Gina was INCREDIBLE to work with. So patient with me and the hundreds of questions I asked her, always responding in a timely manner and with such thought. She worked so well with my day of coordinator and between the two of them I knew that absolutely nothing would slip through the cracks. The wait staff, front desk attendees, valet, etc. were also so professional and kind. I have only good things to say about our experience with each of them. The food was also phenomenal, and there are SO many options to choose from. Being able to bring in our own alcohol for wedding day allowed us to be so creative with our drink choices and put a personal touch on this aspect of the night. With Hillbrook being as stunning as it is, I didn't feel like as though I needed to spend an exuberant amount of money on florals, decor, etc. to turn the space into my dream wedding. The venue speaks for itself, and is so beautiful as is. I could go on and on about how wonderful our experience was, and only wish we could do it all over again.

Very organized and detail oriented. Provided me with the wedding of my dreams! Staff was friendly and always helpful :)

Hillbrook was everything! My husband and I live in NYC (he's from Cleveland), so we planned our wedding remotely. Gina was amazing, always answering our emails and random questions right away and making us feel organized and ready. On the big day, she was by my side from 7am until the evening reception, constantly making sure everything was in order. It rained, so days beforehand she arranged to relocate the ceremony from the lawn to the patio, and we liked it more than the original spot! Hillbrook as a venue was also incredible — from the atmosphere to the food. You never know with food at weddings, but we never had a doubt with Hillbrook. Get married here. It's the best.

Hillbrook's diligence and attention to detail helped make our wedding day everything we hoped it would be and more. Special recognition goes to Gina, who was attentive throughout our 18-month process and has truly mastered the many, many skills (clerical, social, operational, and otherwise) that go into executing a wedding. Hillbrook is a family tradition for us now, and we are so grateful

This is the best venue in Cleveland. From the moment we toured Hillbrook to after the wedding, Hillbrook was everything and more. Gina, the coordinator, quickly responded to questions, was very flexible to accommodate requests, and extremely organized. She made us feel like we were the only couple having a wedding there despite having weddings every weekend. The staff was also professional, attentive, and made everything easy. The food was amazing, and the beauty of the venue speaks for itself. Couldn’t be happier with our wedding day!

We looked at many venues in the Cleveland area, and Hillbrook by far took our breath away. Infinitely better than other venues not just based on look, but because of the staff as well. Gina is amazing, and we highly recommend Hillbrook to anyone!

Everything about Hillbrook was absolutely magical for our wedding day. Gina and all the staff there are absolutely amazing and made our day run smoothly. The setting is breathtakingly gorgeous, every one of our guests was blown away. It was so perfect to be able to have our entire day at the same venue from getting ready to ceremony to reception. The food was insanely good, we got so many comments about how it was the best wedding food ever! I wish we could relive the day all over again! Thank you Gina and everyone at Hillbrook, we love you! -Dani and Dave

We loved the Club at Hillbrook! My friend had her reception here a few years ago so when we got engaged there was no question where we wanted ours. Gina made the entire process very easy from the food tasting to final details. She is also quick to respond to any questions/concerns. The entire property is stunning! We could not have asked for a better venue or help (thank you Gina!) - highly recommend this venue!

The Club at Hillbrook and the coordinator, Gina Carlson, were incredible to work with for our wedding! Hillbrook is absolutely stunning and the perfect romantic backdrop. The cost included practically every detail including linens, food, chairs, valet, getting ready spaces & food, and day-of support. We were responsible for providing our own alcohol, but Hillbrook made it incredibly easy with a list of local vendors who managed delivery and pick-up. The food was delicious and we received so many compliments from our guests. Overall, we were just blown away at how easy Hillbrook and Gina made the entire process. Gina was thorough, helpful, and readily available throughout the planning process, easing any stress or worries surrounding the event. She was present the entire day of our wedding and helped us feel calm and safe. It would not have been the same without her support! Thank you to Hillbrook and Gina for a perfect wedding day. We highly recommend!

When I thought of my dream wedding - I didn't think it was possible to find that, especially in Cleveland, OH. The Club at Hillbrook exceeded my expectations for my dream wedding venue. It is not only romantic, a gorgeous tudor-style mansion in the woods near Chagrin Falls, but the staff is THE experts for weddings. Not to mention, our guests said it was the best wedding venue they have ever been to. They said the moment the valet took their keys and they entered the venue, they were transported to a romantic fairytale - and they didn't want to leave. Not to mention, the food was incredible. Thank you to the Club at Hillbrook staff for giving me the best wedding I could imagine!

My daughter just had the BEST wedding at Hillbrook!! The fantastic experience begin from the very start of planning. We were so thrilled that they offer a few different packages but each one is all inclusive. Making planning simple!!! And compared to places where you need to be responsible for paying for each & everything separately like plates, glasses, tablecloth’s, tables etc…. They were hands down the most economical and easy choice. Beyond that just look at the place!!!! When your guests drive up they will be so impressed by the beauty and charm that greets them. Working with Gina to plan the wedding was phenomenal. Communication was fast, informative and personal. Gina was not only extremely professional but she made this fun. The day of the wedding we were taken care of extremely well. This allowed us to simply embrace the day & not worry about details. Everything ran smoothly. Our guests raved about the food!!! Everything was served hot, portions were perfect & they took care of those with allergies. I cannot say enough positive glowing things about Hillbrook. Run don’t walk and book your event there!!!

The Club at Hillbrook was the perfect venue for my daughter's fairytale wedding. Gina and the entire staff were so easy to work with and they were all very accommodating and kind during the entire process. The food was amazing and the portions were large and served hot in a timely fashion. We rented the available guest rooms for bridal party and family and they were clean, furnished comfortably and they made the weekend so easy. We cannot imagine a better venue or a better team of people.

We had our wedding at Hillbrook on 9/19/21 and it could not have been more of a magical day. Hillbrook is the most beautiful, storybook venue that you could ever ask for. Our guests absolutely loved the venue, the food and had the best time. Gina and Andrea are AMAZING to work with and are so helpful. The staff at hillbrook is so attentive and makes you feel like the most special. It was so much fun getting ready there and spending the night after our beautiful day. If you are looking for the perfect venue- this is is. I wish I could do the day all over again!! Thank you Andrea and Gina for the perfect day.

I got married on 10/02/21 at The club at Hillbrook! My ceremony & reception took place at this gorgeous venue! I can’t say enough amazing things about Hillbrook! As soon as you pull up to the property you are blown away by how beautiful it is! The food was amazing, the rooms we stayed in and other families stayed in were great and you felt like you were in a different time period! The whole venue is completely timeless and classic! I am so happy I had my wedding here! I recommend The Club at Hillbrook 1000/1000! Also Gina Carlson was so helpful on all aspects of my big day! She was so helpful and answered all our questions and made the day so much easier! Also the grounds at Hillbrook are stunning so every picture your photographer takes will be magical! Thank you so much to the Club at Hillbrook for making my wedding day timeliness, classic and all around magical!

I am so glad I was able to have my wedding at Hillbrook! It was a dream come true. Planning was a breeze with Gina, and it was great to have her there on the big day. The venue is gorgeous, and having the ceremony and reception all in one place was super convenient. The food was delicious and the guest rooms were cozy. There was nothing I would change!

Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. I can’t tell you how many times I heard that word after our wedding at The Club at Hillbrook. From the setting, to the food, to the atmosphere, to the staff, Hillbrook is second to none. The second you arrive you’ll instantly notice there is something special in the air. The whimsical and naturally stunning atmosphere is the perfect backdrop for any wedding day. We had the tremendous pleasure of working with Hillbrook and the lovely Gina Carlson for almost two and a half years due to having to postpone our wedding twice because of COVID. Throughout that time they answered all of our questions and constantly kept us updated. No request or inquiry was too small. In fact, they made us feel like we were the only couple they were working with, we consistently felt so important and so high on their priority list. When we finally were able to make it down the aisle, the day was absolute perfection. We didn’t have to worry about a thing and could just simply enjoy the day we had spent so long planning. If I could do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing. Hillbrook is the definition of a fairytale venue. The perfect place to start your happily ever after!

The Club at Hillbrook hits on all cylinders. Everything from the service, the food, accommodations, and staff were perfect. I cannot recommend this venue enough. We had both our ceremony and reception at the venue and slept there the night before. The rooms were so comfortable and beautiful. Getting ready in the living room at the venue was perfect and the staff accommodated everything we needed. Our guests gushed about the night weeks after the event. Gina and Andrea are excellent to work with as well. They have answers to every question and were there every step of the way the day of my wedding. Best venue ever.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Hillbrook. The location is out of a fairy tale and the food and staff were amazing! Gina, the event coordinator, is absolutely incredible. She made sure that everything went seamlessly and continually went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. The rest of the staff at Hillbrook were also so friendly and approachable. Planning, postponing and replanning a wedding remotely and during COVID was definitely a lot but Gina and the Club at Hillbrook staff couldn’t have made it a better process.

We had our November wedding at the Club, and it was absolutely perfect and beautiful. The staff were kind and accommodating, especially Gina the event coordinator. She knows her stuff and kept the day running SO SMOOTHLY. I truly didn’t imagine I would be so relaxed on my wedding day. The food is also to die for, choosing meals at our tasting was a challenge! We received countless compliments on our day as a whole, and I would choose this venue 1000 times over.

The venue was beautiful and the day-of staff was great. However, after reading so many great reviews, we were surprised by our experience with Gina, the wedding coordinator at The Club at Hillbrook. While Gina was very pleasant and responsive, she was disorganized. It was getting close to our wedding date and we hadn’t discussed some key parts of the wedding, such as linens. I asked her if she had a list of questions she discussed with each bride and groom, and she said that she didn’t and that she just “responded to questions as the bride and groom asked them.” It wasn’t only the planning that was disorganized. There were two weddings at the Club the same weekend, and there was no separation between the items we brought for our wedding and the items that the other bride and groom brought for their wedding. We had to sort through everything to figure out what was ours and what was theirs.

There are not enough words to describe how amazing this venue is for a wedding. Gina was so easy to work with and made everything run so smoothly. Simply put, this venue and their staff are absolutely perfect and made our wedding a true fairytale! I could not speak more highly of the Club at Hillbrook.

Our wedding was in the fall of 2019! It was 50 degrees and sunny and we had it in the covered space on the terrace. The 8 space heaters they had were perfect and the scenery was amazing. Gina was so fun to work with and so accommodating and thoughtful. My friends that had never been to Ohio said they wanted to move to Chagrin Falls after coming here! The food was fantastic and the space was more than big enough for our 190 guests. Wish I could give more than 5 stars :) The scenery was just perfect for wedding photos too!

We had our wedding at Hillbrook in September of 2019 and we are SO GLAD that we did. The venue was everything we could have ever wanted. It was so beautiful, and everything was taken care of for our 215 guests. It was so warm, welcoming, and fun, and we got so many compliments on how breathtaking it was from our many out of towners. Gina, who planned the event, went above and beyond to ensure we were happy. We are extremely detail oriented, and she always answered our many questions immediately (even responding to questions at midnight the night before our wedding). The execution of our event was perfect - Gina ensured that our entire vision came to life, which was not easy! Additionally, the servers went above and beyond to provide great service. Our friend from the restaurant industry commented that he had never seen food served so perfectly to so many people at once. During cocktail hour, the servers always made sure people had enough appetizers, which was very important to us! Additionally, the bartenders did a GREAT job - multiple guests commented to me that they had the best margarita of their lives! We are so thankful to the entire team at Hillbrook for giving us our dream wedding and we cannot say enough good things. We are so thrilled that we chose this venue, which we view as the best of the best, for our wedding day. THANK YOU GINA!

LOVE LOVE LOVE! I had my wedding at The Club at Hillbrook almost two weeks ago. It was an absolute dream to say the least. A complete and total fairy tale. The venue is spectacular! There is no other place like it in Cleveland, maybe even all of Ohio. Stunning green landscape covered with trees and flowers, a beautiful mansion detailed with exposed stone and stained glass... truly a Cleveland gem. The entire night was perfect. The staff was so attentive and made our every desire happen. Gina who is the event coordinator was legit a goddess. The entire time we planned our wedding ( about 15 months) she was always responding to our emails, and ready to provide any help or information she could. Even on her days off she wanted to make us feel heard. She even had her wedding there, so you know she has faith in the venue. On top of the beautiful location and incredible staff, the food was also unbelievable! Some wedding venues have good food, some have ok food, but Hillbrook food is outstanding. We couldn’t decide just one dish so we included 4 for our guests to choose from. Honestly each dish came out delicious and still hot! Getting your food cooked perfectly for a group of 200+ people is not easy for a chef or his staff. Throughout the entire night everyone... guests... extended family... friends... everyone commented on the atmosphere, the food, the service. Everyone was so impressed. Honestly there are not enough ways to explain how amazing it was.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at The Club at Hillbrook and enjoyed every moment. The Club at Hillbrook is a fairytale setting with beautiful rooms and gardens, and extraordinary service and food. We were pleased with everything from start to finish. Gina is one-of-a-kind and was very pleasant to work with. She was so accommodating with every request. While planning from out-of-state she responded to my (many!) emails promptly, and she always had an answer or a suggestion no matter the question. On the day of our wedding, the weather forecast was unpredictable and we really wanted to have our ceremony outside. In collaboration with our wedding planner, Gina made it happen seamlessly by starting our ceremony just a few minutes early. The timing ended up being perfect. The day after the wedding, we went back to pick up our decor and other things we left behind and they were all neatly packed up for us. Thank you, Gina and Hillbrook, for a truly memorable, dream-come-true wedding!

My daughter was married at Hillbrook on October 13, 2018 and everything was beautiful. The weather was cooler than expected and Gina was great in changing things quickly and helped to run our event so smoothly. Her staff was great and I know my daughter and her husband and all of our guests were impressed. Again thank you Gina and her great staff.

I got married at Hillbrook 8-4-18. I can not say anything bad about the club or the staff. Gina who was a HUGE help during the planning and our big day is one of the sweetest, most professional women I have met. Not to mention how amazing all the staff was throughout the whole night, everyone catered to anyone’s needs or questions. The location is absolutely beautiful. Our special day couldn’t have gone any smoother.. I’m so very thankful for everyone involved that made our day so amazing. Such a night to remember! It was without a doubt a fairytale wedding, thank you again Gina! You are amazing, and deserve a HUGE raise!

Hillbrook was our choice for our daughters wedding venue because of its beautiful property and great reputation. It is a private club, so you must either be a member, or be sponsored by a current member. We were sponsored by kind friends. The process was made easy by the clubs event planner Gina Carlson! From day one, she was always there for me, answering questions, providing suggestions, emotional support. Planning a wedding is hard work...and Gina can do it with her eyes closed! The venue is gorgeous! Staff makes you feel like family, and the food is OUTSTANDING! We had a restaurant owner as a guest who said it was the best steak he has ever had in his life! We had beef, chicken, salmon, and vegetarian options. Late night snack of sliders and pizza was a huge hit! The Club At Hillbrook is full of Class and Character without being stuffy. Sooo much FUN! The historic mansion has seven overnight rooms available incuding an incredible Bridal Suite. We couldn't be happier with our choice! Memories and experience of a lifetime. Hillbrook is a well oiled machine that will not disappoint.

The Club at Hillbrook is hands down the most beautiful venue I have ever been to and I am so lucky to have been able to have my wedding there! Gina was so incredibly helpful from day one and made wedding planning such a great experience! She was always available to answer questions and let us stop out at the club multiple times to look at different things. The entire staff at Hillbrook was amazing and you can tell they love what they do. No detail is left out! With the number of weddings they do in a year, they truly are experts! The food is such great quality, and so many of our guests commented on how great their meals were. We were lucky enough to have a perfect partly cloudy June day for our ceremony and reception, but I never once worried what we would do if it rained. The covered patio is absolutely gorgeous for a ceremony in the rain, while keeping the bridal party and guests dry. I would recommend The Club at Hillbrook one hundred times over as you will definitely not be disappointed!!!

Hillbrook was the perfect wedding venue for me. It's gorgeous and the staff was very accommodating and flexible. Gina, the veent coordinator, was quick to respond and able to answer all of my questions. They have so many weddings there that the staff are experienced pros

One of my best decisions I've made for my wedding was Hillbrook! I can't tell you enough about how beautiful it is. It doesn't have to be decorated much, itself was simply stunning and unique! All my guests were asking us how did we find this magical place. The reception was inside this Tudor style mansion with a full view of beautiful gardens and huge nature woodlands. We were sitting inside with an outside feel. The food was amazing. We had so many compliments on the food. More importantly, the people there are the best!!! Gina is so experienced and thoughtful and helpful and reliable and patient through my whole planning. The vendors she recommended to me were all great! You really don't have to worry about anything when Gina is there. She also went above and beyond on printing out placement cards with meal options for me. She took care of all communication with my florist and other vendors. I didn't have to coordinate anything! We were all well taken care of. All my vendors had been telling me the same thing. If they'd ever worked with Gina, they would tell me that Gina is the best! All the staff there were great! I didn't have a chance to have any dessert that evening. Even after they cleaned up everything, the chef still served me one sweet love bean soup. We stayed at Hillbrook on our wedding night. It made the wedding ended like a fairy tale. I can't tell you enough about Hillbrook. It is my favorite venue! It will always be very special to us!

We had our ceremony and reception at The Hillbrook. I wouldn't hesitate to say The Club at Hillbrook is the most beautiful venue in Northeast Ohio! Our wedding there was like a dream -and our guests could not stop commenting about how absolutely gorgeous the grounds were. It rained on our wedding day, but the "back-up" space for our wedding - I say in quotations because truly it's still so beautiful I wouldn't even really call it a backup space - was so perfect. It is a covered area with open sides, so all of the beautiful greenery was still visible in the background. We also loved how quiet and secluded the Hillbrook was. Gina and staff were extremely accommodating before and during our wedding. And the food was incredible as well!! Would recommend The Hillbrook to anyone and everyone getting married in the Cleveland area!

I can't recommend Hillbrook enough! Our wedding was a dream. Gina was helpful and patient through every email inquiry we had, answering any and all questions promptly. The day before she was available to help me set up, and the day of Gina and Janet made everything incredibly smooth. The venue is stunning on it's own, it's somewhat hard to top. The food was amazing - we had so many compliments afterwards! The staff was friendly and prompt. Guests told us after that they were great as well! I don't have enough words to describe how Hillbrook brought our dream wedding to life. It was well worth it!

Hillbrook was the perfect setting for our spring wedding. The staff was wonderful to work with and coordinated everything for the day of . We used the venue to get ready and were able to bring our hair and make up girls to make a morning out of it. Definitely pricey but worth it. Everyone said the food was wonderful too.

We absolutely loved our wedding reception at Hillbrook! Gina was so helpful throughout the entire planning process. The food was amazing and the atmosphere is so beautiful. We still get compliments on our choice of having our cocktail hour and reception at Hillbrook. I wish we could relive it everyday!

Absolutely amazing! The most beautiful venue!

An unforgettable experience!!! I had never been to The Club at Hillbrook, so I had no idea what to expect. We pulled into the lot and I couldn't control my excitement! I started to tear up and instantly fell head over heels for Hillbrook. It's a struggle to put into only a few words how perfect our experience was from that day forward. To say that Gina is incredible is an understatement. She was super helpful along the way and reminded us of things we never even thought about. Gina is so thoughtful and I felt like she made the whole day effortless. The whole morning getting ready at Hillbrook, the dinner, the dancing, and the entire evening went so smoothly. Everyone raved about the venue and how stunning it was. Our pictures of the grounds are so priceless and beautiful. The Club at Hillbrook is so unique and a hidden treasure! My mother, sister and I stayed at Hillbrook the night before the wedding and then my husband and I, plus our immediate family on the night of the wedding. By the next morning, I felt like the staff was part of the family and even with a honeymoon to look forward to, I was so sad to leave!

The Club at hillbrook was the perfect location for our wedding, and the entire staff was excellent!! Any and all needs that I had during the ceremony and reception were taken care of quickly and effectively. Gina was phenomenal and made the entire wedding planning process easy! I would give the food a 4/5 since it was much better at our tasting than at the actual reception, however the staff and entire venue was so amazing they deserve the 5!

We just had the perfect experience at Hillbrook. From the time we toured and worked with Gina to our wedding day. Gina helped us through the whole experience with a smile on her face and terrific service. In fact everyone at Hillbrook was a pleasure to work with. The food was excellent, the servers gracious, the staff from set up to take down was helpful. Our children were so happy with their wedding day. We found Hillbrook to be a very good value and would highly recommend this venue.

The Hillbrook was PERFECT and Gina was AMAZING. Gina is the most responsive person I interacted with throughout the wedding, she was personable and checked in with my Dad multiple times during the evening to make sure he was satisfied. Everything we asked for was accommodated. Highly recommend this venue!! Thank you, Gina!!

Hillbrook was the perfect venue choice for my husband and I and our Vintage Safari wedding. We had the most perfect experience from start to finish. Gina is so accommodating and helpful in every way through the process and it was so welcomed and needed since I had so much on my plate. The staff is kind and friendly and were available for anything we needed. We had our ceremony and reception there, and thank God we did. It was so much easier for our guests not having to find different locations for our wedding. The weather was not cooperating for us but Gina and her staff very kindly waited till the last possible minute for me to decide if ceremony should be under the pavilion or outside by the tea house. We originally wanted the ceremony to be at the tea house but the weather was not the best, so we had everything under the pavilion, which ended up being an even more beautiful spot due to the stunning back drop on the woods. Our guests were blown away by how stunning everything was, how unique the venue is and how amazing the food was. We got the most beautiful pictures there as well by Jason Thomas Crocker Photography. There are so many beautiful spots on the property, great for unique wedding photos. Everything was perfect! I just am so happy and lucky that we were able to have our wedding at the most unique and perfect hidden gem of Cleveland.

The gorgeous setting is what initially drew us to Hillbrook. Beyond that, however, the level of service we received when planning our wedding made the experience that much better. Gina, the event coordinator, helped us manage every detail with ease. The day of the wedding, we didn't have to worry about the little details because we knew everything was taken care of. Our guests raved about the wedding and how beautiful Hillbrook was!

Absolutely Amazing!! Everyone at Hillbrook worked to give us the best wedding we could imagine. The venue is beautiful, the service was perfect, Gina the coordinator took care of so many details and made sure we were ready for things we did not anticipate. The food was, beyond question, the best I have ever had at a wedding . Every meal was perfectly cooked and service was right on time for all the guests. Also having beautiful suites on site for ourselves and the wedding party was great. I wish that I could give them more stars but will have to settle for posting this review everywhere that I can.

"We just want to say a huge thank you to everyone at The Club at Hillbrook for making our day so perfect! It really was the best day of our lives and everything about the venue / food / ceremony and accommodation was perfect. Big thanks to Gina who made the whole process so relaxed and enjoyable, she ensured everything we wanted was perfect on the day. This is the most beautiful venue in the Cleveland area! I HIGHLY recommend :)

The photos online do NOT do this place justice! I did not want to look here and my husband insisted. From the moment we drove up, we knew this would be the perfect venue for our wedding reception! We wanted something that captured the fall, outdoor atmosphere without being completely outside. I cannot say enough fabulous things about Gina and the entire staff at our reception. The servers and bartenders were friendly, attentive and seemed genuinely happy to be working. Gina always patiently worked with me, my million emails and was able to make our vision come to life! The food was delicious. We are still getting great comments and feedback from our guests almost three weeks later! I would definitely recommend this venue!

Most beautiful setting for a wedding in Cleveland!! My husband and I must have went to 20 different venues in our wedding venue search and Hillbrook was the most beautiful, most conducive to unpredictable Cleveland weather. Working with Gina in the planning process brought so much calm and clarity to the excitement and intensity of planning. She is laid back yet professional. Bernard, the food and beverage director went above and beyond for us as well. We had more compliments about the bartenders and staff from guests at our wedding...we were blown away! One step out onto the back patio and you will see exactly why this place is out of a fairy tale (if you weren't already in a trance pulling in the front driveway). Choosing Hillbrook was the best decision we made while planning our wedding and I can't recommend it enough!

We got married at Hillbrook on 9/26/15 and could not be happier with how everything went! We had the ceremony in the backyard at 4:30, then went right into cocktail hour and reception. The setting is beautiful and had every single guest in awe. We were told numerous times that the venue was absolutely amazing, and that everyone was having a great time...the food is also excellent! Acoustics are also great, and table set up left no one in the corner with a "bad seat". Highly recommend! Gina, the coordinator, is also amazing!

Choosing Hillbrook to host our wedding reception was, hands down, the best decision we made in planning our wedding. I’m originally from Cleveland, but now live on the East Coast, and had wanted to return home for our wedding. We looked at a number of different locations throughout NE Ohio for our reception, but were so blown away by the beauty of Hillbrook, that no other location even really compared. We loved how accommodating they were in where we could host the reception on site, how we decorated, our drink and menu selections, and when we could set-up and take down the decor. The other sites that we looked at were unreasonably rigid, but Hillbrook took the time to listen to us, and then customized the site, the layout, and our menu to meet the vision that we had wanted for our wedding day. In the end it was more beautiful than what I could have envisioned, and our guests were blown away by how good the food was, and how gorgeous the building, gardens and decoration were. Over the 12+ months that I planned our wedding, Gina Ranucci, Hillbrook’s Director of Special Events, became a good friend, confidant, ally, and a saving grace for us during this process. Gina was with me every step of the way, and I could not have been more grateful for her professionalism, competence, patience, positive attitude, and attention to detail, especially when planning a wedding from afar. Gina gets it, and she made the process seamless, enjoyable and easy. I couldn’t have imagined doing it all without her, and echo the many other reviews that note her talent for superior customer service. Gina is truly the best of the best. My mom and I stayed at Hillbrook for the 4 nights leading up to our wedding to help get things prepared, and Hillbrook’s staff was not only accommodating, but they were actively helpful in assisting us in finishing our many DIY projects, and also shared in the excitement of everything. Their staff (including everyone from the valets, to the bar tenders, the wait staff, and front desk hostess) was amazing, and made the process so happy and enjoyable for us. I really, really wanted to have our dinner out on the covered patio, despite the near 100% change of severe storms, and Hillbrook found a way to make it happen for us. There were storms, but during dinner they moved any of the tables that were close to the open edges, so that no one got rained on. They were accommodating in every possible way to help maintain our wedding vision, and did so with a positive attitude and smile. In the end the storms created a memorable atmosphere that our guests really enjoyed, the rain was beautiful to watch from the covered patio, and no one got wet! The entire staff at Hillbrook became an integral part of our day, an extension of our friends and family celebrating our new marriage, and we whole heartedly felt the each oz of care and passion they each put into helping make it the most special day in our lives. Having our reception at Hillbrook was truly a dream, and Gina and her staff made it come true for us. I hope that all brides have the wedding they’ve always dreamed of, but know that if you decide to host your wedding at Hillbrook, you most definitely will!

Hillbrook was the the perfect location for our dream wedding. Gina and the staff at Hillbrook went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect for our wedding. We hosted our ceremony on the lawn for 250 guests and fit comfortably in the reception hall for dinner and dancing. The food was absolutely amazing. People are still telling me how amazing their meals were two months later. I'd recommend renting the rooms in the bed and breakfast. It felt like we had a destination wedding by keeping our close friends and family with us for the weekend.

We had our ceremony and reception at Hillbrook on July 11, 2015. The word that most often comes to my mind (and guests’) in reflecting on the day is “magical”. I knew from the moment that I looked at this venue last October that I had to be married here. Whether you visit in rain or shine, summer or winter, I know that you will feel the same! Simply driving up the hill to its front feels like something out of a fairy tale. The club’s gorgeous, well-maintained Tudor architecture will probably win you over instantaneously. Our venue search was difficult because we wanted an outdoor ceremony, and none of the others had ceremony spaces that truly wowed us... except Hillbrook. You have a couple of options as to where to have an outdoor ceremony here. We chose to have ours on the back lawn, with the guests facing the woods. The space is honestly something of garden wedding dreams!! When I saw the set-up prior to the ceremony’s start, I was stunned. It truly doesn’t need ANY decor- its natural beauty is breathtaking. Other than the chairs, we had a natural birch chuppah decorated in greens and lines of petals down the aisle and that was it. An absolutely incredible ceremony space. We lucked out with the weather- 80s and sunny- so it wasn’t muddy in the grass and at 5:30 it took place in the shade. Cocktail hour was on the covered stone terrace that overlooks the lawn, which was equally majestic. This was a large space that easily accommodated our 225 guests and two bars. Little white lights and votive candles made it even more dreamy than it already is. Guests then transitioned to the indoor reception right off of the terrace, with rustic dark wood beams covered in white lights, a beautiful new dark wood floor, sheer white draped curtains, and windows that pan across the whole room providing views of the gorgeous grounds. It is difficult to express in words exactly what I felt when I saw all of this on my wedding day, as it was so much more than I could have imagined or hoped for. Everything about it was 100 times more beautiful than ANY wedding photos I have ever seen. Gina and all of the Hillbrook staff were AMAZING to work with. Gina was very helpful, flexible, and accommodating throughout the entire process- always responding promptly and in detail. The staff was incredible on the day as well- extremely friendly and efficient! The food was INCREDIBLE. Guests cannot stop raving about how delicious their meals were (filet of beef or stuffed chicken). Overall, it was truly the most magical, wondrous day and experience of my life and cannot imagine having married the love of my life anywhere else. Hillbrook is the PERFECT setting for a wedding and bringing all of your loved ones together. We are still hearing from EVERYONE about how beautiful and perfect everything was- and Hillbrook is to thank for that. This is a venue that is worth EVERY dime- I promise you will not be disappointed! We are impatiently and eagerly awaiting our photos and video to re-live it all!! :)

I highly recommend the Club at Hillbrook. The mansion and grounds surrounding make for a beautiful story book setting. Very clean and well maintained. Gina is wonderful! Her experience and confidence made it easy for us to enjoy the entire process. From the first visit to the final good bye every detail was perfect. We had dined at the club before and knew the food was fabulous but serving 230 guests all at once had us a little anxious if the quality would be the same.....no need to worry! Everyone raved about the food and the presentation. The service was fantastic and everything went according to the planned schedule. We also utilized the 6 charming guest rooms, again no one went home disappointed! Thank you Gina, Bernard and the entire staff!

Top notch! Hillbrook went above and beyond. Any questions, concerns or wishes we had Gina diligently took care of. We were certain they would be out of our price range- as it turns out they came so close to other caterers we were considering AND Hillbrook was willing to work with us more. It was a storybook reception. Our Jersey family fell in love with Hillbrook and the area. Our room was BEAUTIFUL. Any first nighters, we highly recommend the Burke suite. When we got in, they had the room lit up with candles and a few snacks from our dessert table waiting for us. Details we didn't even think of Gina was right on top of. She was with us every step of the way and made the planning process so enjoyable. We had 230 guests. It felt so intimate and personal and not at all crowded. The food was out of this world. We did the jerked pork and stuffed airline chicken. We've heard no complaints and the food was done just right- Nothing was "dry". All of the staff was helpful and considerate. There's not a time of year it is not a beautiful setting. We can't wait to go back for our 1yr anniversary! We highly recommend to anyone!

I have to say, I could not have imagined a better wedding venue for our wedding day. We had about 180 guests, and The Club at Hillbrook was wonderful in every way. The venue itself is very unique in that it's an old Tudor style manor house that transports you back in time to 15th century England! The gorgeous manicured grounds, stone, and woodwork create a breathtaking backdrop for wedding photos. The Hillbrook also offers a limited number of very comfortable guest rooms. Our bridal party rented them for the weekend and we had so much fun exploring the house and grounds! It was like having our very own mansion for a weekend! Not to mention, it made getting ready a lot easier because we didn't have to travel anywhere through out the day. The staff at the Hillbrook is fantastic. Gina was our wedding coordinator and she did a wonderful job making sure our wedding ceremony and reception ran smoothly. The rest of the staff was very friendly and helpful too! Everyone there was very professional and all smiles, and we had fun hanging out with them before and after the festivities. And last, but not least, the food was very good at our wedding. The Hillbrook caters as well, and I have had so many people tell me how wonderful the food was...especially the little triangle potato side dish. ;-) Haha! The Club at Hillbrook was the perfect setting for our wedding and I can't recommend them enough to future brides!

I don't know where to begin with the gratitude that I feel... Everything about our wedding was fantastic from beginning to end. Hillbrook did a most amazing job and all of the staff could not have been any more courteous and caring. From the moment that we knew that Hillbrook would be our venue until the very last minute of the wedding night, Hillbrook was a dream come true!! The attention to detail was spot on. The staff was there to ensure a most wonderful experience for all of us. Gina, the wedding coordinator, made sure that every little detail was just as we planned, and she managed the entire rehearsal and wedding day with the utmost care and consideration. Perfect is the only word that I can think of!! I never felt one second of distress and the bride had the most relaxing and magical experience...just as a wedding should be. Our guests felt special from the moment they pulled up and the valet took their keys, until the moment the last song was played and it was time to leave this most perfect fairy tale behind. Honestly there was not one thing I would have changed. Yes...we had the time of our lives!! My guests have been calling to let me know just how much they loved the wedding...perfect venue, delicious food, incredible staff, personable valet, beauty in every aspect just as a wedding should be...we all look forward to a return trip to a very special club nestled in beautiful Chagrin Falls.
