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!

A fantastic venue to have a beautiful event. Have your wedding surrounded by water and golf course views, cocktails on a private patio, and a fabulous meal in a great banquet room that can be transformed into your special event. Jessica will help you design a great menu and event to fit the look and feel you after.

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. If you want elegance, class, and professionalism, call Jessica at Kemper!
