Islanders thrive on giving back and love gathering as a community—connecting, celebrating, and supporting causes that strengthen the place we call home. It’s important to our individual mental health and the health of our community.
And so you asked, and Hill Harper delivered; another special space to come together, to celebrate, commemorate and build community.
The sultry, enticing atmosphere of Mercer Island’s newest luxury venue, The Rock, is already turning heads and setting a new standard for private events. Islanders have long wished for additional event space that offers both convenience and a truly unique, high-quality experience.
Created by acclaimed entrepreneur and storyteller Hill Harper, The Rock is a boutique, design-forward event destination crafted for those who crave sophistication, intimacy, and exceptional hospitality. From the moment guests step inside, the space envelops them in warm textures, modern elegance, and subtle, curated details that feel equal parts exclusive and inviting. Velvet, stone, wood, and ambient lighting create a setting that is instantly memorable — and effortlessly photogenic.
Perfectly sized for private celebrations, board gatherings, nonprofit receptions, curated dinners, milestone birthdays, arts performances, and all-ages fun, The Rock offers flexible layouts tailored to each host’s needs. Whether it’s a cocktail-forward mixer, a chef-driven seated dinner, or a bespoke themed experience, the venue adapts beautifully to any vision.
And because it sits directly across from ASA, guests enjoy seamless integration with one of the Island’s most beloved curated spaces. Expect artisanal light bites, beautifully composed small plates, and signature craft cocktails — each prepared with intention and delivered with the exemplary service that defines ASA Gathering.
The Rock isn’t just another event space. It’s an elevated, local sanctuary for connection… a place where Islanders can gather without crossing a bridge, celebrate life’s milestones in style, host clients and colleagues with confidence, and experience something fresh, intimate, and undeniably special.
