We wanted a location that we could have an outdoor wedding with a back up indoor space. Hillcrest was one of the few places that offered this. The golf course was very pretty for backdrop of ceremony and pictures. Hillcrest is a bit of an older golf club so it has some very pretty stonework and a beautiful old wooden staircase. It was a great amount of space for the wedding reception. We had a bridal room to get ready in and a grooms room for the guys to get ready. We were also able to go out on golf carts to take pictures by the pond. They allowed outside catering, which was great because of our budget. Not going to lie we had a bit of a rough start with them as far as planning and responsiveness, but then they hired Bailey before our wedding and she make everything wonderful and easy! She had multiple meetings with me to plan everything and was extremely responsive to my man emails and phone calls. She was there day of to help out and everything ran so smoothly. Bailey was the best!!
I could not have been happier with this venue for my ceremony and reception. Marshall was beyond helpful throughout the entire process and helped make my day stress free. The scenery if absolutely stunning with the golf coarse which is full of giant trees so you can't even tell you are in the city. The actual building is beautiful also and has so much history with it. One of the best things was being able to have the ceremony in one room and the reception just outside of those doors, there was no need to flip the spaces. I would highly recommend this venue!
I worked with Marshall, and he made sure everything I needed to have happened, did happen. He was so incredibly helpful and flexible making the wedding and reception absolutely perfect. The staff at Hillcrest is so incredibly helpful and did so much for us!
I'm conflicted because initially we were super stoked about Hillcrest. The venue is older but it still looks nice, the price is great and it includes a lot. However, Jessica Pedraza is the new event coordinator and as nice as she was when we met her, she still double booked our date, then tried to tell us that we never mentioned a date to her. She eventually realized and admitted her mistake, and then appeared to go above and beyond to try and find us a new venue. However, once we decided to go with a venue not on her list, she completely severed contact with us. She had told us we could use their chair covers and even an arbor, because of her mistake. I have reached out to her no less than 3 times since then and she has completely ignored my emails. I would try calling but their phone system is apparently going through some sort of issue and the only way to get a hold of anyone is to go through the pro shop. We are sincerely disappointed by the way we were treated. Jessica made us false promises on multiple occasions and repeatedly failed to deliver. I know that most of the reviews for Hillcrest are 5's so I don't know how much of a difference this will make, and maybe if we'd been able to use this venue it would've worked out, but we never got the opportunity to see if that's the case or not. Please be weary working with Jessica, make sure you check and double check your dates and details as she is flaky and disorganized. All I can say is, if you use this venue, just make sure you take care of you, because she won't.
When we booked Hillcrest a year ago, I was so excited because of the beautiful venue! Hillcrest has an outside ceremony space that is breathtaking, but they also have an indoor space just in case of bad weather. This was just one of the things that sold us on this venue. Hillcrest has a bridal suite and a separate place for the groom and groomsmen to get ready too. The staff at Hillcrest are super attentive and organized. I was a very organized bride and was worried that they wouldn't live up to my expectations, but they definitely did! Todd, the event coordinator at Hillcrest, was exceptional! He calmed my nerves and my crazy mother's too! On top of the amazing venue and staff the price was unlike any other in the KC area. They offer open bar and buffet for $24.95 a person! I would highly recommend Hillcrest Country Club to any bride! You will be so happy that you chose this venue!
Hillcrest was absolutely perfect for our wedding on 09/24/2016. We had both our wedding ceremony and reception at Hillcrest and it was beautiful. Ceremony was out on the first tee box and was so pretty and great for photos. Todd and all of the staff were extremely helpful and made sure that everything was perfect for our special day. Todd went above and beyond the day of to make sure we had everything we needed and continuously checked on us throughout the day and night. The bridal suite was very spacious and relaxing; we spent the entire day there getting ready. The entire venue is beautiful and has so many amazing areas to take pictures out on the golf course. I would definitely recommend Hillcrest to anyone getting married, our wedding day was perfect!
Thank you to Todd and all the staff at Hillcrest for helping to make our wedding perfect. The venue is beautiful and the staff went above and beyond to make everything go as smoothly and as perfectly as possible. I would highly recommend this venue to any bride who is looking for a gorgeous and AFFORDABLE venue. My guests all had an amazing time and kept complimenting me on how beautiful Hillcrest was.
We loved our experience there. Todd not only made sure everything was set up the way we wanted, but he checked in on the bridal parties to make sure we all had everything we needed to be comfortable. The site was beautiful and makes for perfect pictures! I'd definitely recommend getting married there!
I had such an amazing wedding here (bride). I loved everything, the venue is so spacious and beautiful and the employees here are amazing! Todd helped us with our whole wedding, even the little things. He went above and beyond and I can't stop praising him! On the night of the wedding we had an amazing bartender, Alex and two other employees helping things go smoothly, Dylan and Ashton. All my guests loved being here since it is easy to get to. Everything went perfect and it's because of the great employees here. The price is unbelievable to, for an all inclusive wedding this place cannot be beat.
We had our reception at Hillcrest and everything turned out great! The layout is open and adaptable and there is a patio area just outside. On top of this, it has two rooms which when combined can hold a good size gathering. It has a central bar location near what most people would use as the dance floor that kept everyone mingling and dancing all night. Hillcrest also has a lot of history which makes it a special location. The venue and catering options are very reasonably priced and have a lot of flexibility in the different options you can select. Todd worked with us throughout the process to accommodate our requests and kept in communication throughout. The day of the reception couldn’t have been better. The staff was attentive and kept our guests happy. Even though the food ended up sitting for some time as the wedding party was a bit late arriving, it still kept well and we had no complaints. Overall it was an amazing time. Many people have told us it was the best wedding reception they have ever been to.
Todd and the staff was amazing!!! Todd was very hands on and made it all that I dreamed it could be. The ceremony was off site so we did not head to Hillcrest until the afternoon, in the morning Todd was sending me texts of the space and making me feel that it was all good.
Hillcrest is a beautiful venue for a wedding, my photo's came out spectacular. You cannot ask for a better back drop then the golf course.
Thank You Todd & Hillcrest Staff!!!!!
Don't do it they have some kind of excuse is why or why not thing s go right believe me daughters wedding was a fiasco
I had my wedding reception at Hillcrest Golf & Country Club on July 18, 2015. I absolutely loved the venue. Todd was great! He really worked with my coordinator and myself and made sure we had everything we needed and more! I couldn't have been more satisfied. My guests are still talking about the reception. Thanks Todd and Hillcrest for making my wedding reception unforgettable!
My daughter had her wedding at Hillcrest Country Club November 16, 2014. This place was amazing! I can be a pretty demanding and a pretty picky person. I gave them a 5 on all my ratings but responsiveness. I gave them a 4 only because sometimes it would take a day or two to hear back from them. However, I will say that I learned that Todd is usually doing a million things for several different people so it was not that he was not responsive, he was just busy. I will also say that the dynamics of our event changed several times. Todd worked with us in every aspect of every change. When we would ask for something, he never acted like it was too much or a problem. November 16, 2014 was a bitterly cold day in Kansas City. We were taking pictures outside. Todd made sure that we had enough golf carts that were covered so that no one would have to walk in the cold. We used their recommended catering company and everyone that I spoke to said the food was absolutely wonderful. I do not think that we could come up with one complaint at all. I would highly recommend Hillcrest Country Club for whatever occasion you might have.
Our wedding was just beautiful, Todd and his staff were awesome to work and our day was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! We had an outdoor ceremony, the weather was beautiful and the golf course was beautifully kept. If you want an outdoor ceremony with beautiful green scenery I recommend this place. The fall outdoor colors accents beautifully!! The wedding and reception was all in one place, great option If you plan for an outdoor wedding and the weather is bad. You can easily move it inside! Food was great, vendor that they use was great to work with also!! Great experience all around for a beautiful day!!
I can not begin to thank Hillcrest Country Club & Todd Abrams for making my day sooo amazing... From start to finish they were professional and accommodating to my every need.... While the day seemed to be nerve wrecking and stressful... Todd and his team waited on my wedding party and ensured a marvelous ending... with wine, words of encourgement, last minute duos...their presence! What an extraordinary venue.... Todd Abrams... you rock! :)
A beautiful indoor setup for a wedding and reception. Bar convenient to get to decorations were beautiful. Nice outside view for a outdoor wedding. Customer service was excellent!
I can't say how greatful I am to have had my wedding at Hillcrest! We had the best day and it was beautiful! Todd and his staff were amazing to us and helped with anything we needed. We only have a few shots from our photographer at this point, but I will post more later. We got lots of compliments on Todd as well as how awesome the wedding was! Also, the food we ordered was great. Everyone loved it!! I will never forget this day and so happy!
Hillcrest is a very beautiful location. Our wedding looked amazing thanks to the help and beautiful location from Hillcrest. We had our ceremony on the first tee box which was gorgeous and the reception inside which was very convenient. I recommend that any golfers choose this place right away! Hillcrest made our wedding day a memory and it was a great choice for our venue.
Everything at the Hillcrest was great. We had our ceremony and reception both at their location. Picture taking here is great outside on the golf course. Lauren the bridal consultant was very helpful throughout all of the planning and at the wedding & reception. You don't have to worry about too much having your wedding or reception here, they pretty much provide everything! I would definitely recommend having a wedding and/or reception at the Hillcrest!
