Absolutely amazing - best day ever

Kemper lakes golf club, staff and especially Jessica were amazing!! We enjoyed every second of the process with Jessica. She answered all of our questions (I had a lot!) in a professional way but also made us feel good about the questions and there were no stupid questions. She really went above and beyond for us to make sure our day and days before were smooth. Everyone in our wedding party and parents enjoyed working with her and the staff. She managed to get us through our rehearsal, with a veryy large wedding party in a timely manner that we really appreciated. I want to do the day over and over and all because of how stress free kemper made it!

Fabulous Wedding Venue

Our daughter’s wedding was in November, 2024 and I must share the excellent experience we had at Kemper Lakes. From initial meeting to tasting to finalization of plans (with a few tweaks we made here and there), they were responsive, informative and very helpful. They seamlessly worked with outside vendors and with our wedding coordinator. The bartenders, servers, set up - honestly, everything was done just how we hoped - actually better. The food was delicious, drinks were tasty and our guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We were thrilled with how perfectly the day went and don’t hesitate to book this gorgeous venue.

Beautiful Wedding Venue

We had our wedding at Kemper Lakes Golf Club a few days ago and everything was truly perfect. Jessica, the clubhouse manager, talked to us through the entire process, made sure we had everything that we needed, and made sure we had the best possible wedding. The staff overall was impeccable. We have zero complaints. The food was great, the atmosphere was beautiful, and our guests were complimenting left and right. The prices were reasonable for everything we got. Our wedding night was everything we’ve ever dreamed of and more! Thank you to the whole Kemper Lakes staff!!

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 !!!

Fabulous party!

We just had our wedding at Kemper last weekend and it was just amazing! Jessica T is the bestttt and made everything so easy for us from start to finish. We didn’t even need a wedding planner because she is so good at her job and just knew every little detail that needed to be executed. She had to go out of town for the rehearsal, but even called in via FaceTime to help us out! Everyone at the venue was helpful and friendly. Gorgeous views, can’t wait for the professional pics! Everyone said the food was delicious also. I felt like I didn’t have anything to do the day of since Jess and her team had everything under control. Even a sick maid of honor 😰. Thanks again to the whole staff at Kemper, especially Jessica T, you made our wedding unforgettable and cannot thank you all enough! - all the love and appreciation from the bride, groom and our families

Incredibly Perfect

Kemper Lakes and Jessica was the most wonderful vendor. We had a small wedding in December and planned it pretty last minute in relation to most wedding, 4 months. We saw the venue online and thought it looked incredible. Then we saw it in person and fell in love. Then we learned the price and were shocked such an incredible venue was in our budget. Jessica was a delight to work with the entire time. She knows her stuff. The day of was absolutely perfect. I have only good words to say. The food was amazing, the staff spectacular, the decor and ambiance was incredible. I highly recommend this venue to anyone. The space was perfect for our 60 person wedding. Tons of room to spread out. Everything was magnificent!

Excellent, professional and flexible!!

My husband and I had our wedding here amidst the craziness of COVID-19. Thanks to Jessica and all of the helpful staff at Kemper, we were still able to have our dream wedding! Jessica was always quick to respond to our worries, very professional and worked with us to stay within a budget while still having a beautiful ceremony and reception. We were concerned about having a social gathering, but didn’t want to postpone getting married any longer. Jessica made sure to put us at ease and still enjoy our planning process during the stressful time. All of the staff followed guidelines and respected social distancing. We highly recommend the beautiful grounds and stunning clubhouse, especially Jessica! We were able to end 2020 on a positive note and start our future off with happy memories. I promise, Kemper will definitely exceed your expectations!
