“It was a breath of fresh air to work with venue staff that's as helpful and hands-on as you and your team. If I could do every one of my weddings with your team, I'd live a much less stressed life! I would absolutely LOVE to be back.”


“I just wanted to reach out and say THANK you for being such a wonderful team to work with. I seriously keep thinking if I could do every wedding with you three it'd be a dream! You were so professional, fast at replying, quick in your answers, a joy to work with and throughout the night you were so great at always checking in so again, thank you for making my job easy.”

"Our daughter's wedding at the Kemper - both the ceremony and reception - was absolutely gorgeous in every respect: ambiance, food, music, service. But what will be equally memorable for us is how helpful and responsive the Kemper events team was over the 16 months of planning. The collective attitude of positivity and flexibility was just wonderful throughout. We so appreciate the total experience, capped off with a flawless, memorable evening."
