What Our Guests Are Saying
The best measure of any event venue is not the square footage or the feature list. It is what guests say when the night is over. The Hilltop has had the privilege of hosting thousands of events across the North Hills, and the feedback from those who have been here speaks more clearly than anything we could write ourselves.

The food was delicious and the server was amazing! So helpful and I’m still getting compliments of how great the food was! Thanks Heather and Hilltop for making our party awesome with fantastic food and my day not only easier but hands free! Thanks TessaPosted on Google Bonni OJune 23, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We got the food for my son & daughter in law's rehearsal dinner from The Hilltop. We picked the food up. We had 2 hot apps, 2 meats, shells, & pierogies, the food was piping hot at pickup, literally couldn't put your hand on the bottom of the pans without a mitt. The cold items were well chilled. I was pleasantly surprised that food temps were what they should be. I expected to need to reheat before putting in chafing dishes, as I have had that experience with other caterers. The food was all well seasoned, fresh and delicious. Heather took care of us from the minute I walked in to day of, she was amazing. She is SO easy to work with and SO accommodating. After meeting with her & seeing the remodel, I tried to convince my son to have it there, but he wanted it at home. I highly recommend The Hilltop, whether you are looking for an in-house or remote event, the food is top notch and Heather will make your event exactly what you want. Thank you Heather, Kurt & Mark!Posted on Google Kathy OJune 10, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had my daughter's baby shower at the hilltop Event Center in the Sunburst room. Everything about it was amazing. The room was a perfect size for our 43 people party. The food was very good and plentiful. But the most surprising and much appreciated part was the service. Everybody was very accommodating. We had two servers who attended to everybody's needs. Nobody was without drinks. Dishes were cleared. And above all else they were very very nice. I really cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you for helping make My Daughter's Day special.Posted on Google Cj JJune 9, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Quickly call and get set up for your next event. I had a bridal shower and wedding with The Hilltop and I can’t say enough positive things. Ease of booking, friendliness of staff, and the food..people were texting me the next day for details…it’s incredible!! it’s not just a business to the staff and owners..you can tell it’s personal. They make sure you are comfortable, all questions answered and ready to go for the big day! The catering off site is easy! The rooms on site are magic. Can’t wait for another event!Posted on Google Mark FMay 27, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. For my birthday, could not have expected such great service and food. Hannah and Heather provided excellent service to every guest. Food was very good and plentiful. Thank you to everyone at NPL/Hilltop for a great day. Would recommend you to all friends and family.Posted on Google LynnMay 17, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot say enough good things about the going away party we hosted at our home. Hilltop Catering did an outstanding job, especially Heather. She was an absolute rock star. The food was delicious but it was Heather who made a difference. She set up, cleaned up, and added personal touches that were so thoughtful. I get very anxious planning events like this and Heather made it so easy. We did not have to think of anything during the party. Heather took care of everything. We were able to completely enjoy ourselves. So many guests asked who the caterer was. Please, book Hilltop Catering. You will not be disappointed.Posted on Google Carol SMay 14, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a baby shower at this event center.

My wife and I chose this venue to celebrate our 50th birthday party April 18th. The staff was amazing. Jaclyn and her team provided us and our guests a wonderful experience..great customer service!! We selected the pizza, wings, and salad buffet and I can honestly say that our guests complimented all of the food. The wings and pizza were delicious!! We were looking for a venue where our guests could dance, unwind and enjoys themselves and Hilltop offered this. A room with dance area, a bar area with seating to enjoy the food, and a lounge area to relax and socialize. It was a great night and would highly recommend this venue for hosting any type of event.Posted on Google Casey rMay 4, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are so grateful to the entire team for the care and compassion they showed while hosting our dad’s wake. During such a difficult time, everything was handled with professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail. The food was excellent, and the service was truly outstanding—staff were attentive without ever being intrusive, and they made sure our family and guests felt comfortable throughout. They created a warm, welcoming space for us to gather, share memories, and honor our dad, and that meant more than we can express. Thank you for helping make a hard day a little easier.Google rating score: 4.9 of 5, based on 37 reviews
