Wow…what else can we say? After we got engaged, we were very concerned about locking down a venue for our wedding. We had a larger guest list than most places in Northeast Ohio wou...ld hold, and after visiting a few places, we were feeling very concerned. A friend of ours recommended we check out The Club at Hillbrook. We hadn’t heard of it at first, but we looked it up and figured we’d inquire. The pictures looked nice and we saw some good reviews, so we scheduled a visit.
When we pulled up to the venue for the first time, we were in awe. We basically knew in that instant that this was the place. It was beautiful, literally like something out of a fairy tale, and we hadn’t even parked the car!
The inside is incredible. It has an old school, country club type vibe. It had a very vintage feel but felt very clean and elegant. From the main lobby, to the rooms, the bar and the lounge areas, it felt so homey but something we’d be very happy to host all of our friends and family at. The back patio and the fields were the perfect for what we wanted for a ceremony, cocktail hour, and a spot for people to step outside throughout the night.
The venue itself was perfect, but the Sophie and Gina were even better! They were so communicative and transparent throughout the process. We had about a million questions, and were always very responsive and informative, and always made us feel comfortable with our decision to go with them. Gina was there with the bridal party in the morning, making sure we had everything we needed and was so helpful. Sophie was with us during the wedding and she such a life saver. From guiding us through the rehearsal, to guiding me down the aisle, she was there for us for all of it! There truly wasn’t a single thing went wrong the entire day and we consistently felt like we were in such good hands.
The staff the night of was awesome. From the servers and the bartenders, all the way through the bussers and the bar backers, everybody was so friendly and fun to be around, and we have to shout out Vito!
And lastly, we have to talk about the food. Wedding food is usually decent, nothing to write home about. But the food was so, so good. We were so happy with our selection and quality of our apps, but the star was the dinner! The steak was so great, but the stuffed chicken breast with tomatoes was genuinely some of the best chicken we’ve ever had!
We’re a month past our wedding, and everytime the wedding gets brought up with us, our family, or our friends, the hottest topic and the most common theme is how beautiful the venue was. We are so grateful that the most special day of our lives was in one of the prettiest settings we could’ve possibly imagined, tucked away in a little corner in Northeast Ohio.
I cannot recommend this place enough, and looked forward to always having photos and memories of our wedding at The Club at Hillbrook.
