Wedding photos, concerts, filming, baby showers, the list goes on!
Book your next private event at Hillary House. We accept private bookings and rentals of both our indoor and outdoor heritage property. We have commercial and private fees for both photography and filming.
The AHS prioritizes the protection and preservation of our heritage building, its contents, our team, and our visitors. We have requirements and guidelines designed to welcome people onto the property, and to limit risk of damages.
