The Hotel Julien was absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding! They have amazing communication and were very thorough in answering all of our questions! We were working with Nicole up until she had maternity leave. We then started working with Dianne while Nicole was out. This was a smooth transition and they did a nice job of introducing us and making us feel comfortable and like we were in good hands. We had no issues with the hotel besides a minor mix up in the set up of the room which was promptly fixed! They were very easy to work with the night before when we had made some last minute changes! We had many compliments on the food, which was delicious and the banquet staff was fantastic and made sure everything was perfect and things were going well throughout the night! I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out! I highly recommend the Hotel Julien!

We used the Hotel Julien for lodging prior to our wedding so that we had a room in Dubuque to get ready in. We booked the suite and it was beautiful! There was plenty of space for 10 or so girls to get ready. The beds were comfortable and I felt well rested. The hotel was very accommodating for whatever we needed. The only downfall was that you had to book both Friday and Saturday to stay so we did not do a room block here because many family members only wanted Saturday night. I would definitely stay here again.

We held our wedding reception at Hotel Julien Dubuque, and everything seemed perfect to us. We had 288 guests, with many of those guests traveling from out-of-town, so we had approx. 46 rooms booked, and I only heard great things from all of the overnight guests that we talked to the next morning at the breakfast we had catered by Caroline's in a private room just off the lobby.

Andrea was our wedding coordinator, and she took care of everything from the very beginning, from lining up our room blocks with the hotel; setting up our food tasting; helping us choose our menu for the plated dinner, along with the cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, and food we had later toward the end of the evening while guests were dancing and drinking; picking linens, some of the decorations; lining up the staff to put the overnight guests' gift bags in the room before they checked in; and ordered the catered private breakfast in the morning. Anything we needed, we only had to ask Andrea, and she would take care of it for us.

And the food was delicious; we had bacon-wrapped sirloin, chicken beurre blanc, vegetarian plate, and chicken fingers (for the children), as our selections, and we only heard positive comments about the food from everyone. And everything came out pretty fast, too, so it didn't seem like people had to wait while others were eating, like I've experienced a lot at other wedding receptions.

We had great service from everyone at Hotel Julien Dubuque, and it seemed like our guests felt the same way. We could not have asked for a better experience for our wedding, and would not have wanted it any other place!
