Betty and her event planning team at Kemper museum or top notch! They were fabulous every step of the way and were incredibly helpful. The food was amazing and everything was just perfect. I couldn't have been happier with my decision to choose this location for my wedding reception!

The museum is beautiful and we are so excited that we chose that location for our special day! The staff and service were great.

No problems arose until the night of, when a few things went wrong. No guests noticed, but just make sure that everything you want done is written on paper or in an email as backup.

The guests loved the experience as much as we did.

The Kemper Art Museum was a gorgeous place for a reception. Julie and Pam are fabulous and so helpful, flexible, accommodating, etc. Our only disappointment was the media (tried to play 3 min DVD) and the person running that completely messed it up (started video mid-way through, never hooked up sound, etc.) Even with a practice run-through I wouldn't recommend playing any type of media there. The food was to die for though! And the bar and staff were great too.
