Perfection

We initially chose this venue as it at a down to earth yet elegant look for our fall wedding. It was an incredible bonus to have the worked with Jessica Trzop (Clubhouse Manager) throughout the process.

She was SO knowledgeable, responsive, and personable. From her helpfulness in clarifying our questions during the year of planning, to her proactiveness the day of our wedding, she certainly played a big part of the success.

Friendly staff and quality food as well. Would highly recommend!

Amazing venue and coordinator!

Our wedding day was perfect! We received so many compliments on how beautiful the ceremony site was and how delicious the food was. Jessica and the banquet team ensured we had everything we needed and were beyond helpful and communicative throughout the planning process. Loved having the fireside space for cocktail hour and the reception. Jessica was so accommodating with all details and made our dreams come to life. We are so thankful we were one of the lucky couples to get married at Kemper Lakes!

Amazing!! Best every grounds and coordination

Even though the wedding day went by way too fast …which happens to everyone! Kemper lakes was amazing !!! All our guests were so impressed with the food and beautiful grounds of the venue !!! You get soo much for your money at Kemper lakes !!! Including the best wedding coordinator Jessica … we were down to 2 places when we were wedding planning , and Jessica’s great personality and Attitude made our decision that much easier ! The prices really are great for being a beautiful golf club !!! We looked at places that were way more money and not nearly as nice and didn’t include as much !!!! We forgot to book a sweet table and 2 days before our wedding , Jessica reached out to a the local bakery they work with and made it happen for us , with no work required on my end !! She saved the day! We fell in love with the Rustic vibe and beautiful atmosphere of course .. Jessica being the best coordinator !!! She speaks polish too , which was a game changer for my grandparents that came from Poland just for the wedding !!! I cried when the wedding was over because I was so sad to leave this amazing venue !!! You can’t go wrong at Kemper lakes !!!

Kemper Lakes Golf Club is an AMAZING venue... Their staff is second to none in the chicagoland area. We perform at hundreds of locations every year, and Kemper exceeds the standards every time. They truly treat each other like family, which can only promote unmatched cohesiveness. I have personally witnessed a number of their staff members go above and beyond for a guest.
