“Beautiful space and great manager, easy to work with and all around great experience renting this venue for our wedding.”
From the reviews
Very cool older building located just off the gourmet ghetto section of berkeley. Lots of windows and natural light, was a great venue for my daughter's wedding. Nice stage with a lot of wood in the building, including hardwood floors.
Our youth choir, Kairos, produces a musical theater/opera performance every season. This year, our usual venue was closed for renovation and we were faced with the need to find a new theater. We knew about the Berkeley Hillside's affinity for classical music, so we thought our program would be a good match.
Beautiful space and great manager, easy to work with and all around great experience renting this venue for our wedding. There's a kitchen, a stage, a couple of green rooms and nice restrooms. The lighting is beautiful any time of day, and there are tables available with rental.
Nice venue with interesting programming. Street parking usually available not too far away. Decent sight lines, but elevated stage means acoustics are only OK. Good for public meetings, less successful for music, but definitely worth going if you like the music.
Getting married at Hillside Club
Hillside Club comes up for weddings, going by their listing and couples’ reviews. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
