A well-oiled operation
Padua Hills Theater is a stunning wedding venue with fantastic outdoor views and settings for ceremonies and receptions. The indoor ballroom (former theater) is outfitted with amazing lighting, sound, and theater technology. The staff are incredibly helpful, hardworking, and kind, and on the day, they all worked together beautifully and seamlessly like pros. Their sole focus is on special events, and it shows; they are really on top of it all, and we had a wonderful experience!
