Community Highlights: Meet Terrica Jones of The Hilltop

Today we’d like to introduce you to Terrica Jones.

Hi Terrica, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
We are Curtis and Terrica Jones, owners of The Hilltop. Curt works for a bulk material handling company (and mows, so much mowing) and Terrica homeschools the 2 kids. We never would have thought this was what God would have for us, “Wedding Venue Owners..” but here we are.

​

You could say we have been chasing sunsets together for the last 14 years.

The chase began on the back of a motorcycle (Curt is a lover of anything fast) that is how we found the spot that would later be known as the place she said “Yes!” (And where the most magical first kiss DIDN’T happen – you’ll have to ask Terrica about that.)

After the first year or so of marriage, those sunsets were often caught from airplane windows as Curt began to travel for work. Always a reminder that wherever we were, however far apart, we were under the same sky.

As the kids got older, we spent time on the lake and one night, while watching the sunset as the kids swam, we decided to buy a house on the lake.

We moved to Lake Winnebago and Curt was still traveling for work. We were still catching a lot of sunsets from the sky, but we were also getting some great ones at home from the boat..

In the fall of 2022, Curt took a promotion and was able to trade his window seat for a seat on the deck at home and we quickly knew we wanted more land.

When we drove up the hill we were in love with the view, but when we went to leave and saw the sunset, we knew it was the one.

We took possession in May and it has been a whirlwind ever since. We are learning ALL. THE. THINGS. And God has put it on our heart to share this place with as many people as possible.

We know first hand how to survive some of the stressors of marriage (Hello long distance..) and hope to support you not just on your wedding day, but also in building a strong foundation for your marriage.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
We are the highest spot to tie the knot in KC. Beautiful. Affordable. And we care deeply about your marriage!

The Hilltop is perched high above the tree line, overlooking miles of gorgeous Missouri countryside. At the end of the day, the clouds begin to settle on the tops of the trees and the sun casts amazing shades of pink, orange, and purple along the horizon… It will stop you in your tracks. It will have everyone outside admiring God’s canvas.

When we bought this property and started doing things like sorting through how we would structure our pricing, we knew we wanted to be affordable, and we knew we wanted to help people save money, because we LOVE to save money.

I am always giving out my best money saving tips during tours. Regardless of if you book with us or not, I want to help you curb needless spending.

Not only are our prices affordable, but we add value by doing things like procuring a décor closet of on trend items that we allow you to use for free. You can literally throw an entire wedding from our décor closet. Faux florals, audio guest book, vases, votives, greenery, flower girl baskets, ring bearer pillows, table numbers, chargers… we have it all.

On top of that, we include linen rental and want you to have access to the venue space as much as possible on the big day. More time = Less stress typically, and we pride ourselves on being low stress.

We also offer marriage workshops – as a confirmed client you get free tickets to attend. While you enjoy free breakfast and lunch, as you are led through topics on things like conflict resolution, love languages, and communication.

Not only is it free for clients to attend, but we actually PAY them to attend. We discount their base package by 5% after attending the workshop and completing the workbook. It’s our way of enticing couples to grow together and start their marriage off with a “Strong Foundation.”
