Heritage Hill hosts wedding receptions, company parties, business meetings and family celebrations for up to 140 seated guests indoors, or about 164 when the deck is open in summer. The venue is a family-owned banquet facility built around a restored log home on North Church Street in Greensboro, North Carolina, and it leaves catering and bar choices to the client.
Seminars and company events
The venue lists corporate business meetings, company Christmas parties, retirement parties and other corporate gatherings among the events it takes. The banquet hall works for a meeting followed by a meal, an awards evening or a year-end dinner for a team of up to 140. Because there is no in-house caterer, a company can bring the caterer it already works with, or keep things simple with a buffet. The basic rental covers six hours of use, which fits a half-day meeting with lunch or an evening party with time for setup and cleanup.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the core of the calendar. Couples can hold an outdoor ceremony at the gazebo in front of the house, then move inside for the reception. If rain arrives, the ceremony moves into the banquet hall. An upstairs room is set aside for the bride and bridesmaids to change. The venue also takes rehearsal dinners, bridal luncheons and showers, and it makes custom silk floral arrangements and centerpieces for clients who want them.
Rooms and capacities
The banquet hall, also called the reception hall, seats about 140 guests at round tables. It has a small service area with a refrigerator, microwave, long counter and sink for staging drinks and food, but no full kitchen. A 35-foot deck extends the space in warm months and brings the total to about 164 guests. Outside, a gazebo about 14 feet across serves as the ceremony spot. The base rental includes ten tables for six with linens; more tables, chairs and linens can be added.
Catering
Clients may hire any caterer they choose, with no approved list. Alcohol can be brought in as long as a licensed bartender serves it. This makes the venue a flexible option for groups with a set budget or a caterer they already trust.
History and setting
The house began as a log home built in the 1780s, shortly after the Revolutionary War. Starting in the 1970s, it was restored and expanded over about 11 years before becoming an event venue. The grounds have lawns and trees, and the family runs a pick-your-own blueberry patch in July and August.
Getting there
The venue sits at 5435 North Church Street in north Greensboro, in Guilford County. Piedmont Triad International Airport and the Greensboro Amtrak station are both a short drive away, which helps when guests travel in from out of town.
