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 had a wonderful experiencing working with the Hotel Julien! As a result of covid we postponed the wedding & had multiple last minute changes, management did a great job of working with us and accommodating. The event planner, Nicole, and team were exceptional to work with and everything the day of was perfect!! The majority of our wedding guests were from out of town; they stayed at the hotel and also had a wonderful experience all around! Highly recommend as a wedding venue!

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.

Everything was beautiful! Allie, the wedding coordinator, was so helpful and responsive. She also was very flexible in what I wanted! Being an out of town bride, she made everything easy and the end result was perfect!

We loved the Hotel Julien! This is where I had dreamed of having my wedding reception for many years as it has beautiful atmosphere. When it came time to choose a reception, the Julien had the most bang for our buck! Andrea was great to work worth and was always willing to give me any advice or answer any questions I had. She was also very flexible and worked with me so our reception turned out exactly how I wanted! We received so many compliments on our venue from our wedding guests and I wouldn't change a thing!

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!

The Hotel Julien Dubuque was the perfect location for our amazing day! The staff went above and beyond to make sure that all the details were executed flawlessly. The hotel staff was accommodating and easy to work with for our guest bookings. Andrea, the event coordinator, was the highlight of our wedding planning and vendor experiences. Her expertise offered exceptional advice and trusted execution.

This venue is absolutely gorgeous. They really know how to pull off a wedding. Allie was great to work with. I am a huge foodie, while Julien's menu looked delicious, I wanted something a little more fall themed. I suggested a chicken bruschetta and pork with apple instead of cranberry. Allie sent those suggestions to the chef and they came up with chicken topped with smoked mozzarella caprese and Dijon crusted pork with apply chutney. They were absolutely delicious and our guests were very excited to get their meals. We also wanted flavored water and Julien happily obliged. Lastly, we wanted a late night food. I was sick of having pizza for a late night snack, so I suggested grilled cheese: Gouda with caramalized onions and cheddar with bacon. They were a hit! Everything Allie and the Julien staff did for us was so amazing and made our perfect day run so smoothly. Thank you so much, it was truly the best day of our lives!

We held our daughter's wedding ceremony and reception in the grande ballroom at the Julien. Excellent staff and service. Food was mediocre. Capone suite is convenient for bridal party to get ready but is overpriced. Trains at night can be bothersome if you stay in this suite. Get a diamond Jo club card from the casino and save a bundle on hotel rooms.

We absolutely loved having our wedding at the Hotel Julien. It is so gorgeous there. Allie the wedding coordinator is so incredibly sweet and really makes the bride feel special on the big day.
