We love A'undie!!!

When we started planning our wedding we knew that we wanted our reception to be held at the Best Western Plus Dubuque Hotel & Convention Center. What we didn't know was how amazing the experience would be for us from start to finish. When we met A'undie we knew immediately that we were in great hands! A'undie's knowledge of the wedding planning process was a saving grace - her guidance, style and commitment made our special day even more fabulous than we could have imagined!!

We held our rehearsal dinner and wedding reception at the Best Western. Our guests, both travelers and locals, were amazed by the banquet hall and the hotel! A'undie and her team put so much dedication and hard work in to our special day. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her and the Best Western!!!!

Kammes Wedding

My husband and I were originally supposed to have our wedding reception in Galena, IL. However with COVID, Illinois was not letting up on restrictions. After emailing several places in Dubuque to see if any venues had cancellations or openings, Diana, The Sales Director, at Best Western emailed us back super quickly and let us know they did have a cancellation and that our date was open! Diana and the entire Best Western staff were so helpful through the entire process and for being a last minute booking for a wedding reception, you would not have even known we had to switch locations! They worked with us SO well and made everything run smoothly! I can’t say thank you enough to Diana and the staff at Best Western for making my husband and I’s wedding reception so spectacular! With much gratitude, THANK YOU!

Very happy with our decision to select the Best Western for our September wedding reception! Although planning began pre- Covid, Diana and the Best Western team were helpful down to every detail and flexible with any last minute changes. Diana's experience and organization made the process super seamless. My husband and I have received many compliments on the meal, service of the staff and overall experience! Highly recommend!

Steiner/Lansing Wedding

My husband and I made the right decision when we decided on the Best Western as our reception hall. Diana Schulz, Sales Director for the Best Western, made my husband and I feel so confident that our vision would be carried out for our reception. She was so professional and even helped us plan our second wedding reception due to COVID 19. Diana was so accommodating and made us, my family and friends feel so welcome. The vision we had for our reception happened and was absolutely beautiful! Many of our wedding guests complimented us on our food selection there and how clean the hotel was. Our family members and friends had rooms at the Best Western and they enjoyed their stay, and also enjoyed taking advantage of the new pool and deck area. Tim, head of
maintenance for the Best Western, was also so professional and helped set up and answer any additional questions we had. He made us feel very welcome.
Overall, I highly recommend the Best Western Plus Dubuque Hotel & Conference Center for any occasion!

Our perfect wedding

Booking our reception with the Best Western was an amazing experience. Diana and Desiree were both awesome and super easy to work with. Diana was easy to get ahold of through email to answer any questions. She kept us informed with everything needed to ensure a safe reception during these COVID times, and made it a less stressful process in one of the most stressful times. Another great perk of booking here was the room that came with it for our rehearsal dinner and the bridal suite. It was super convenient to have that space for myself and my bridesmaids to get ready in. The food was amazing- 10/10 recommend the rosemary infused chicken and the cheese tortellini. We had a fully stocked bar and had some kegs which was super easy with picking out alcohol. The staff was very professional and did an awesome job serving guests. They were very attentive and quick to serve. Molly was one who was there for both the rehearsal dinner and the reception- she was very friendly, pleasant and accommodating to our needs. I would highly recommend booking with the Best Western for an easy planning process and an overall amazing time. They made our wedding day amazing!

Best place in Dubuque for your wedding reception!!

Diana and staff was the absolute best to work with! Timely responses especially during this COVID time, always kept us up to date with new protocols and provided some helpful suggestions. Answered all of our questions and more- there were a lot of things that I didn't know to ask while looking for a venue and she made sure we will filled in. The package deals are defiantly worth it! I can't thank Best Western Plus staff and Dianna enough for such a great day. I wish I could relive that day all over again!!

April wedding

Dianna was wonderful to work with. Very responsive and flexible with what we wanted. The hotel staff was so friendly and helpful for the whole weekend. And the poolside was great for our relaxed rehearsal dinner.

Desiree was so easy to work with and helped keep everything in line! She was able to accommodate our head table requests and even divide up the bill when we had multiple people. Food was delicious and the rooms were very nice. Everyone that needed to stay was able to get a room, even some at last minute. Couldn't have asked for a better place!
