Wedding Venues in Dubuque

We had a July wedding at the Grand River Center, and it was the perfect venue for a ceremony. Our guests where able to get a view of the Mississippi without sitting outside in the heat.

When we started planning our wedding we knew that we wanted our reception to be held at the Best Western Plus Dubuque Hotel & Convention Center. What we didn't know was how amazing the experience would be for us from start to finish. When we met A'undie we knew immediately that we were in great hands! A'undie's knowledge of the wedding planning process was a saving grace - her guidance, style and commitment made our special day even more fabulous than we could have imagined!! We held our rehearsal dinner and wedding reception at the Best Western. Our guests, both travelers and locals, were amazed by the banquet hall and the hotel! A'undie and her team put so much dedication and hard work in to our special day. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her and the Best Western!!!!

The staff was awesome, the food was awesome, there was enough room for everyone and they had fireworks the night before for us!~

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!

My son and daughter-in-law got married this past weekend and I was so impressed with the entire wedding banquet staff. The catering sales manager, Shelby Siderewicz went above and beyond to exceed our expectations. We do not have one complaint about the wedding reception experience. The food was amazing, the staff was over the top accommodating and the bartenders, Kelly and Joe were were very fun and provided top notch service!!! I highly recommend Holiday Inn Dubuque as a wedding Venue!!!

Absolutely beautiful venue for both my wedding ceremony and rehearsal dinner. Staff was always friendly and professional and willing to assist.

I loved this venue! Ali was wonderful to work with and answered all of our questions. They were flexible with last minute time changes and everything ran so smoothly. The venue is gorgeous and the ballroom completely transforms. Reasonably priced. Spent $3,000 at most for this venue.

Stone cliff is a wonderful venue. it has the beautiful rustic feel that my fiancé and were looking for. If you look on google they have an interactive walk through for the venue and it is true to the pictures. We love that the location is right on the river and that you are able to rent the ampitheater outside as well. The deposit is can be a bit much (between 500-800) but in the long run we are saving money compared to other venues that we looked at in the Dubuque area. We look forward to our upcoming wedding in May!

Our wedding at the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium was nothing short of magical! All with the help of Teri - she is truly amazing at what she does! The venue offers waterfront and downtown Dubuque views, creating a picturesque backdrop for both our ceremony and reception. The Boatyard provided an elegant outdoor setting for our after-ceremony pictures, while the Train Depot gave the best lighting and historical feel for our ceremony. The William Woodward Mississippi Center transformed into a gorgeous indoor space with unique museum exhibits adding a touch of charm and sophistication for our reception. We will never forget about the otters and so happy they were celebrating with us! The additional staff was great (again huge shoutout to Teri!), allowing us to fully enjoy our special day. The catering, provided by J&D Catering, was absolutely delicious, with a variety of options that pleased every guest. We had so many people reach out asking who had catered! If you’re looking for a wedding venue that combines natural beauty, history, exceptional service, and something truly unique, look no further than the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium. It made our wedding day truly unforgettable, and we couldn’t have imagined celebrating anywhere else!

Our reception at the Diamond Jo was absolutely perfect, and I wouldn't change a thing (and I'm not just saying that because it was my wedding day). The room looked beautiful, the staff was amazing, and it went off without a hitch thanks to the work of the people there. From our first meeting with Olivia, the event coordinator there, all the way to the day after, we were taken care of. She was genuinely invested in running our event smoothly, getting us everything we wanted, and most importantly in our overall happiness. This was not another job for her; she truly cared about us. The venue itself was flexible, helpful, and very reasonably priced! They work with you to specify bar/food needs, scheduling; really anything you need. We offered guests a choice between pork or chicken, and I heard raving reviews on both. Truly do not have a bad thing to say; everyone in the Dubuque area needs to host an event here!
