Amazing Venue
Padua Hills Theatre was the perfect venue for our wedding. The staff were extremely responsive and helpful throughout the planning process, providing prompt and clear communication whenever we had questions or needed guidance. On our big day, they took care of everything behind the scenes so we could relax and enjoy celebrating with our guests. The theatre itself is simply stunning, with beautiful architecture and an atmosphere that is magical. Yes, it was more expensive than some other venues we considered, but it was completely worth it for the complete experience and memories we now have. If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind venue with amazing service, look no further than Padua Hills Theatre.
WOW! A wedding in 5 months!
I planned a wedding here in less than 6 months. From start to finish hands down an incredible experience. Jolene, amazing, kind, and thorough in explaining details when showing us the venue and figuring out contracts. Ryan - amazing. Always available for questions. Quick responses to emails. Very warm and friendly. Entertainment Express - Evan, planned our wedding minute by minute so the day of was perfect. Music was amazing. I got so many compliments on how organized everything was. We were always on track with the schedule and everything went so smoothly. The food.. I am still getting compliments on how great it was. I felt like the quality of my wedding should have taken over a year to plan and everyone at Padua made this happen in 5 months. I can’t thank everyone enough. Amenities- parking is easy, bathrooms so nice and easily accessible, bridal suite beautiful! Servers, staff, bartenders all wonderful. Tammy, my day of coordinator who came with the venue was incredible. She was always there, always knew what came next, and new exactly what I needed before it was done. From guiding me through the day to fixing my bustle she truly was the best. Any couple getting married here will have an amazing time guaranteed. Thank you again Padua, our day was so special because of you all.
