Kemper Lakes Golf Club Reviews

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.

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!!

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!

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!

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 !!!

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

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!

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!

Our son was married at Kemper. It is a beautiful room and setting, especially the outdoors for photos. Jessica and her staff are top notch and were very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous place . We had ceremony and reception there . Everyone loved how it looked like . Jessica is easy to work with . She helped with everything . Highly recommended !!

Kemper Lakes made all of our dreams come true for our reception. They delivered excellent service and we had an unforgettable evening. Jessica helped us in every aspect and was very easy to communicate with. She kept us up to date on everything and her team set up everything just perfect for us.

Everything was perfect. Food was great and the venue was beautiful. It rained the day of our wedding and the still cleaned all the water off the patio so the outdoor wedding was still possible. Thank you to them for making everything so easy

We got married on the peninsula at Kemper Lakes. It is a gorgeous spot for a wedding ceremony. Jessica was a great help in helping run the show day-of to ensure we ended up where we needed to be at the right time. Food is delicious (especially the filet)!

They were great! Jessica was super responsive and helpful. Everything went off without even a hiccup. Definitely recommend!

Kemper Lakes is a gorgeous venue overlooking the golf course complete with ponds, weeping willows, and vast greenery. The inside of the ballroom was just as beautiful; the staff did such a good job setting it up exactly as I envisioned, if not better! Our event coordinator Jessica was available day and night, constantly responding to the many questions I emailed her. Their entire staff did a fabulous job making the evening a dream come true! Kemper provides dinner, which includes appetizers, an open bar, salads, entrees, and a wedding cake provided by Lovin Oven Cakery. We even ordered late night snacks including a sweet table, pizza, and sliders. Everyone was raving about the delicious food and incredibly gorgeous venue. So happy we picked Kemper!

We couldn't have asked for a better experience at Kemper Lakes. The outdoor setting and indoor banquet room was convenient, elegant and well organized. Jessica, the wedding coordinator was fantastic. She provided great advice and helped us every step of the way to make our day exactly what we wanted and stress free. We felt at ease with her leadership and flexibility. The venue is centrally located to a lot of hotels and restaurants for guests too!

Kemper Lakes Golf Club for a wedding is truly a hidden gem. My sister had her baby shower here 2 years ago, and I recently had my wedding and after day brunch here and I could not begin to describe how amazing of a venue Kemper is. Jessica, the banquet manager, is so wonderful and flexible and bended over backwards for us - she made our wedding work out exactly how we wanted. Everyone was raving after about how beautiful the ceremony site was outside and how outstanding the food was. It was the most perfect night. We are so happy we picked Kemper for our wedding and will never forget our amazing day.

We had a wonderful experience with Jessica & the Kemper Lakes venue. With all of the planning that is required of a bride and groom, Jessica was a godsent in making things for our venue as simple as possible. She was responsive, flexible and gave great advice. The venue is absolutely breath taking and made our day feel even more magical! We had our ceremony, reception and pictures at the venue and were so happy with our choice!

We were looking for a wedding venue with indoor and outdoor elements and Kemper Lakes was the perfect fit! We absolutely loved the ceremony site and the reception hall is beautiful. The venue carries itself and doesn't need much to have a beautiful wedding there! Jessica was amazing throughout the entire planning process. She always responded quickly with any questions we had and was extremely helpful and accommodating. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding day and we have Kemper Lakes to thank for that!

Jessica and all of the staff at kemper were amazing to work with.. We could not be more happy with how beautiful and seamless the day went! Jessica was very accommodating and always responded to my emails with hours. We are so happy we choose kemper and couldn't have imagined our wedding anywhere else!!

Rob and I recently got married at Kemper Lakes and it was everything we wanted and more. We could not have asked for a better location for our ceremony and reception. Jessica was super helpful throughout all of our planning and made sure that it was perfect for us- we communicated via email, texts, and meeting in person. The grounds at Kemper Lakes are absolutely stunning. The willow trees, flowers, lake, etc make the pictures look beautiful.
We got to Kemper around 3:00 and did our "first look" pictures. The ceremony started around 5:30 under the willow trees overlooking the lake. Rob and I took a few pictures after the ceremony and were able to enjoy the outdoor cocktail hour with our family and friends. We then headed inside for the reception- which was stunning (Jessica recommended all of the vendors for us). The food at Kemper is honestly the best wedding food I have ever eaten, we had guests choose from steak and chicken or steak and shrimp. There was unlimited wine served throughout dinner which was a huge plus. The reception hall goes until midnight, so we had plenty of time for dancing, late night snacks, and fun! :) I highly recommend this venue!

Words can't begin to describe how amazing our wedding was at Kemper Lakes. The grounds are stunning and allowed for us to have the most beautiful day. Throughout the entire planning process, Jessica and the staff at Kemper were great to work with and were VERY accommodating! They did a great job bringing our dream wedding vision to life. Our guests are still raving about how amazing our food was during dinner. I would highly recommend Kemper to anyone looking for a beautiful outdoor wedding.

Kemper Lakes was a beautiful place to have my wedding reception! Jessica was amazing to work with, she was very accommodating and quick to respond. All my guests loved the food - they are still talking about it! Unfortunatly, before and during my reception it rained so the outdoor bar/cocktail hour was moved inside (which actually worked out for the best), but Jessica was making sure I was okay and not freaking out over the rain. Although I was not able to take pictures on the golf carts or other areas of the golf course, it was still beautiful right outside of the room. I highly recommend Kemper Lakes to anyone wanting a beautiful place to celebrate your marriage with staff that want that day to be special for you!

I just had my wedding reception at Kemper Lakes and it was absolutely perfect. I was getting complement after complement about how gorgeous the venue & views were, how helpful and friendly the staff was, and how delicious the food tasted! It was truly perfection. :) The golf course is scenic and stunning for pictures, and the reception hall looks amazing lit up at night. Jessica and her team does a phenomenal job, helping you every step of the way. Jessica was great to work with - she was super responsive, knowledgeable, and helped with all of my questions. I couldn't be happier with our decision to book at Kemper Lakes!

All of our expectations were totally exceeded. Jessica's willingness to make sure every little detail was just right for our big day and her quick responses to our infinite number of questions was amazing. I cannot imagine a more perfect wedding for me and my wife at any venue other than Kemper Lakes. If and when my wife and I host larger gatherings that require a venue, I would not hesitate to come back to Kemper Lakes.

In the future, when someone asks me about possibilities for wedding venues, I'll say, "Call Jessica at Kemper Lakes!"

Jessica and Kemper Lakes made our wedding the most perfect day possible.

I can not wait to have our wedding at Kemper Lakes Golf Club in 9 months!! Jessica has been nothing but helpful, courteous and very quick to respond with ideas and such.

Everyone who has already had their wedding has had nothing but positive things to say about their day. Although we are only in the planning process, having found a great venue has only made the planning process that much easier. Looking forward to the big day at Kemper Lakes Golf Club!!

We had our wedding at Kemper Lakes in July 2015. The view of the course and lake is absolutely beautiful. The club manager, Jessica, is amazing to work with! It’s obvious she has a lot of experience with coordinating weddings and events. She was also always quick to reply to emails! During a time when the planning process can be very stressful, it really helps to have someone as great as Jessica helping you! The food tasted great and we received a ton of compliments on how great everything was! We are so happy we decided to book Kemper for our wedding!

We had a great experience and great wedding day on May 30th this year at Kemper Lakes. Jessica was very accommodating and answered all of our questions very quickly as they came up throughout the planning process. The room was a perfect size, and she helped us as we needed to add more tables/space due to an overwhelming response of acceptances. She was very helpful during our food tasting, and gave us recommendations, as well as letting us completely decide on our own. The food was so good, we had trouble choosing which meal to offer, so we did a combination of chicken and beef. We did take the risk of having an outdoor wedding, and it rained. It was held indoors, but worked out perfectly, just a quick change of plans. Jessica was very prompt in helping us with our plan B, and the night went on as planned otherwise. I would definitely recommend Kemper Lakes to any bride to be!

We searched for a few months to find the perfect venue. Kemper Lakes Golf Club surpassed our expectations! Not only was it a beautiful course, but it had everything that we wanted. We were married under the 2 willow trees next to the water, with our cocktail hour held outside on the patio/deck overlooking the water, and the reception was held indoors with floor to ceiling windows surrounding the room so that you could still capture the gorgeous view outside. It was everything that we dreamed of and on top of that, it was affordable! Although we had a budget that we were sticking to, we never felt that we were treated any less than someone with a more extravagant wedding. Jessica was the best to work with & very accommodating to our needs. She had several people asking her questions about our day and got back to each and every one of them promptly. In addition, she stepped up to help decorate our cake when the flowers were left on the table and made sure that our day turned out perfect. It was a beautiful day! Thank you Kemper Lakes Golf Club - a day that we will always remember!

The daunting task of finding a beautiful venue, friendly to the budget with top notch food and service seemed like it would be impossible. We didn't want a "vanilla" reception hall - we wanted something extraordinary. First thing I found in my research is that this does not exist unless you have over $150/person to spend. My fiancee' and I know how to enjoy good food and service. We found Kemper Lakes Golf Club! The reception is held in a room with full height windows in all directions, surrounded by the golf club and flowers, wrapped by an outdoor patio. The look speaks for itself - go visit!

The food was not "reception food". This was our main concern. We wanted great food, not even good food, great food. The food on our wedding day was much better even than that we had at the tasting - how did they do that??? I read other reviews saying this and thought, ha, yeah right. Well believe it ladies and gents. Food is great.

The service - I won't venture to call Jessica service. Outside of being an absolute pleasure to deal with, she is thorough, you can tell she does this every day, she has a naturally calming effect because she's truly calm - she has everything handled. Jessica knows exactly what she is doing and it shows. Every question was answered (quickly - even when she was on vacation), she asked us questions and helped us find the answers to things we didn't even know about, she took care of everything for us prior to the event, the day of the event, we were truly treated like a King and Queen. We have Jessica to thank for being able to tell our friends and family that our wedding was The Best Day of Our Lives! (so far)

I could not have dreamed of a better wedding location. Jessica made sure that everything was absolutely perfect! I never wanted to get married outside, but after one look at the venue, I knew I had to have my wedding here AND the ceremony. The grounds are beautiful and were the best setting for our photos. Everything was well organized and Jessica was amazing at keeping us updated and sending reminders on everything. There was no possibility of forgetting anything. Jessica was easy to work with and really understood exactly what I had envisioned. The food was amazing, and everyone commented that it was the best food that they had ever had at a wedding. We met several times to discuss plans and the set-up, and everything from the rehearsal to the night of the wedding went flawless. I could not recommend this venue enough. My family has hosted several banquets and events here, and they never fail to impress everyone in the room.

I looked at many similar type of venues in the Chicagoland area, and Kemper Lakes stood out because of the beauty of the grounds and my experience with their coordinator, Jessica. This first impression was accurate. She was extremely efficient, easy to work with, and made sure the day was exactly how I wanted it. The grounds were beautiful, the ceremony site is one of the prettiest I have seen and our professional photographs on the grounds are simply stunning. Kemper made everything about planning our wedding, without an external wedding planner, extremely easy.

The Kemper Lakes Golf Club is the perfect venue for a wedding. The food is amazing, so many of our guests commented that the food was delicious and the venue and staff couldn't have been more perfect. Jessica is absolutely incredible, she made sure that everything was done to perfection. We forgot to bring the bread for our salt, wine, and bread blessing and Jessica made sure that we had it for the beginning of the reception. I would highly recommend the Kemper for any bride, Jessica does an amazing job and she makes sure that everything is perfect. The staff is incredibly accommodating and pleasant, they made sure that every request that my guests had made was completed. I can't say enough how absolutely wonderful the everybody and everything at the Kemper is/was. We couldn't have picked a more perfect venue.

Kemper Lakes was the best location we could find. Jessica was there for us every step of the way helped me so much with all the planing and timelines. The day of the wedding the decoration was beautiful and the service amazing, their team is very professional and their responsiveness super quick, that took a lot of stress out of my shoulders. We couldn't be happier with the overall service, and the result was a perfect beautiful ceremony and reception. After a month people is still calling me to tell me what a beautiful wedding and place. Yes I will recommend this venue to my family and friends.

Kemper Lakes was our dream location. We wanted to be married outside but other golf clubs we looked at were too up-ity and manicured. We loved the rustic feel of Kemper Lakes. We were married under the willow trees and it was the perfect location. So many guests came up to us saying that the view in every direction was beautiful and that they loved the setting. We also loved that our guest could just walk a few feet to cocktails on the patio and then right inside for the reception. The food was also great. Gail and Jessica made everything so easy. Jessica gave me a great pep talk right before I walked down the aisle =). Everything was perfect.

We had our wedding at Kemper Lakes a few days ago and it was absolutely perfect.

Jessica was a dream to deal with. She was very responsive to all of our emails. She was very helpful and made all our wedding wishes come true. I suffered from the 'etsy bride syndrom' I decided to add all these little details last minute and was a little over-whelmed and probably not that organized when I dropped things off. Jessica was able to take our vision for the wedding and make it come true. The location is absolutely breath-taking. The lakes, trees, room...gorgeous. The staff was very nice and responsive to any questions/requests that we had. And the food is FANTASTIC. Seriously...my husband and I had anxiety over what to order for dinner because we wanted everything.

We missed most of cocktail hour due to pictures and my dress took forever to get bustled right. Jessica had them put a sampling of the appetizers on our table for when we sat down. It was so nice, we were both so hungry! I would highly recommend Kemper Lakes to other Brides. They helped make our wedding day the best day of our lives :-)!!

We had our ceremony and reception at Kemper Lakes and it couldn't have been more magical. We LOVED the settings. The ceremony is under two willow trees and right next to a pond on the golf course. The reception room is cozy and comfortable with floor to ceiling windows so everyone can see the amazing view of the golf course. Jessica is absolutely amazing to work with. She is so responsive and helpful, no matter how many emails you send or questions you ask. Kemper Lakes is a romantic setting with great service, excellent food, and a beautiful location.

Our reception was fabulous in every way. Jessica was always creative, helpful, flexible and extremely responsive; she's extraordinary. The food was plentiful and everyone raved about how wonderful it tasted. Gail, and her entire banquet staff, was fantastic. The setting was gorgeous. We could not have asked for more.

Kemper Lakes was one of the best decisions I made when planning my wedding. The food was just as delicious at the wedding as it was at our tasting and everyone raved about how good it was. Sometimes wedding food can be bland - not a problem at Kemper, everything was great. Kemper is also a great value for your money. It is difficult to find a similarly priced venue in the area with such attractive outdoor ceremony space and indoor reception space. The coordinator, Jessica, was also very helpful and responded quickly to emails. Would definitely recommend!

I fell in love with Kemper Lakes when I saw it on Four Weddings. The willow tress, wooden ceiling, and ambiance are what makes this place so special. The whole planning process was super easy. Jessica was so great every step of the way. She was very helpful, responsive, and accomodating. The food and service was great too. I loved the add on options for the reception and our guests certainly enjoyed them too! We would definitely recommend Kemper Lakes!

Service and food was good. The ambiance was great. Guests enjoyed seeing the sunset while they ate dinner. Pictures of our wedding were phenomenal with the Kemper golf course backdrop. Service by the Waite staff was very timely.

Kemper Lakes is an absolutely beautiful venue. The banquet room along with the views of the golf course and lakes are stunning, especially in the fall. The food is delicious and well prepared.

Jessica was a pleasure to work with. Seeing as both of us are busy professionals her willingness to work with us to help build our vision of a wedding venue was invaluable. She was very flexible and willing to help us out in any and all requests to make Kemper Lakes truly a remarkable venue. Jessica was so supportive and even took what we described to her and made suggestions on additional touches we could include to make it the perfect evening. In addition, her suggestions and referrals for additional vendors were spot on and we couldnt have asked for anything more.

My husband and I had our AMAZING wedding at Kemper Lakes on September 22, 2012. The wedding truly was one of the best nights of our lives and Jessica at Kemper Lakes played a big part of making that happen. Kemper Lakes helped us out when our original wedding venue unexpectedly closed down. While losing our original venue was a stressful situation, it was a blessing in disguise because Kemper Lakes was the perfect venue for our wedding.
Jessica was absolutely amazing! She is extremely knowledgeable and had a lot of great suggestions. She was always very fast to respond to emails and accommodated all of our requests. She made the planning process easy and fun.
The venue itself is beautiful. We had our ceremony outside on the peninsula and our reception was inside the banquet room. We just got our photos back and they are breathtaking! We did pictures before the wedding and were able to take a golf cart out to one of the course's bridges. The lake and the bridges provided amazing backdrop for our photos. The banquet hall has windows running across half of the room which allows you to look at the lake and the grounds. The food at Kemper was excellent. All of my guests were raving about how good it was. The staff at Kemper provided excellent service throughout the entire night.
Our wedding was more fun than I ever imagined and I wouldn't have changed a thing. Thank you Kemper Lakes!!!

We had the BEST wedding at Kemper! It was so much fun and memorable. Jessica was the bomb to work with. She did everything for me and more! She even helped out with coordinating the precessional and recessional walks which was a big help for my big wedding party! The staff was super nice and the food was the booomb! Everyone kept saying how wonderful everything was. You will not regret choosing Kemper as your venue. Its truly breathtaking!

I am very grateful I had my wedding reception at Kemper Lakes Golf Club. The service was excellent and Jessica made every step of the planning process as easy as possible. The food was great and our guests could stop talking about how beautiful the venue was.

I would definately recommend Kemper to any bride. Even non-profession photos came out amazing because of the lake and trees surrounding the reception hall. I can't speak enough about how much I appreciate the hard work Kemper put into making my reception vision a reality.

Where do I begin in describing what was the backdrop of the best day of our lives . . . . .

We worked with Jessica in getting our day set up according to our preferences. Every time we had any questions or concerns, Jessica was always available and quick to respond. The grounds are as beautiful as can be. Our ceremony under the weeping willow tree during such wonderful weather created a backdrop that only dreams can make true. We were allowed to use a golf cart and take pictures throughout the property. The shots our wonderful photographer was able to get, left us memories to look back on that we can look back on very fondly. The food was the best that I have ever had for a wedding.

If you are looking for a venue for your wedding/reception, look no further. Kemper Lakes provides the means to help create that special day and leave you and your guests with a fantastic lasting impression and pretty moments that will be etched in your mind for years to come. Thanks Jessica!

My daughter and now son-in law wanted a wedding that reflected them and their personalities, and a "picnic" theme was what they decided upon. Out of all the venues we investigated (more than a dozen) Kemper was the only one that said "yes" to each of our requests. The ceremony was outside under the willow trees by the lake. The chef was able to served grilled (Yes, outside on grills) hors d'oeurves - skewers of meat, shrimp, vegetables (even tofu, which most people thought was chicken), and fruit out on the patio. They did a family style dinner, with the entress grilled outside, then plated and served, with the side dishes served family style. The decor was absolutely exquisite. Pale yellow checked tablecloths, plus red & white for the bride's table (fashioned bunting style over a white cloth). We wanted the cake sliced and wrapped and bagged, so guests could take it home with them, and again, this was no problem for Kemper. Our planner, Jessica, sliced, wrapped, bagged and put the cake in a great big beautiful basket. Our dessert was slices of three kinds of pies, made by the country club. When I first saw the room, I was overwhelmed. Beautifully elegant, but still a with that picnic casual touch. Again, Jessica, was helpful in making suggestions, and kept everything running smoothly. She followed the bride down the golf cart path to the grass, holding up her train...they looked like part of a royal wedding! We even had a late night snack, two different kinds of sliders, which were put out and kept wonderfully warm for the end of the evening. Everyone we talked to said they had never had such fabulous food at a wedding. I hope they can post pictures of the room because it really was beyond my expectations. I expected wonderful, and we got that and more. I cannot say how pleased we all were with the service we got at Kemper Lakes.

Jessica at Kemper Lakes was amazing to work with. She was flexible with the planning process and always available when I needed her! We absolutely LOVED our Kemper wedding! Our guests enjoyed being able to relax outside or inside, and they just raved about the food and service.

I had the PERFECT wedding at Kemper Lakes Golf Club and working with Jessica Trzop made planning easier for me too! I only had my reception at Kemper (got married in a church) and it was better than I could have ever imagined. The set up was perfect and the night ran very smoothly which made the entire day worry free. Working with Jessica was extremely helpful and a pleasure! From the first day of planning until the morning of the wedding Jessica was quick to respond to every question I had and gave very helpful advice. After lots of research on my own, I ended up going with 3 vendors (DJ, photographer, and florist) based on Jessica's recommendations and I couldn't have been happier. Our guests had an amazing time as well, and raved about the food. My husband and I took golf course pictures during cocktail hour and when we sat down for the dinner there were 2 large plates of h'orsdevores for us to have which was a wonderful surprise (especially since we were hungry!). The view is from the room looking out on the golf course is breathtaking (one of the reasons we picked Kemper). I wouldn't change a thing about our wedding and am so grateful for Jessica and the Kemper staff for making our wedding unforgettable for our guests and for us! I HIGHLY recommend Kemper Lakes Golf Club!!

Working with Jessica Trzop at Kemper Lakes Golf Club for our wedding was an unbelievable experience!!! We had the absolute perfect wedding reception, better than we could have ever imagined!!!! Jessica went above and beyond what I had expected in helping us plan our day. From the first day of planning through the wedding day she would respond immediately to our questions and gave amazing recommendations. After lots of research on my own, I went with all of Jessica's recommendations on DJ, flowers, and photographers. Our guests raved about the food and were in awe of the set up of our room and the service. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful way to start our marriage :) I HIGHLY recommend Kemper Lakes Golf Club and Jessica Trzop, they made our wedding experience unforgettable!!

I had a wonderful time at Kemper Lake for my wedding! Even though it almost rained on my ceremony Jessica worked hard to make sure everything ran smoothly.She was right! IT NEVER RAINS ON A KEMPER BRIDE!The Food was very good, service was very good and the venue was beautiful.The people who work at Kemper are a wonderfully sweet and very efficient group! Thank you Jessica and the staff at Kemper lakes for making my day special and beautiful! I cant wait to come back again for dinner with my husband to relive that beautiful memory.

Kemper Lakes Golf Club offered their services after our first vendor went out of business without telling us. They did our reception at the price quoted to us by the first vendor. We did only the reception at Kemper and our ceremony at our own church.

Everything was spectacular (except the weather). Jessica Trzop was very helpful, kept in touch, answered every question by e-mail almost immediately. She was professional, calming, friendly and sympathetic to our needs. It was helpful to us first (and only) timers to her expertise in that everything would go perfectly, and it did. We would not hesitate to recommend Kemper Lakes - everyone was fantastic. The place looks great inside and out. The wait staff was on top of everything. (Little for instance, we asked for more cream for the coffee and it was on the table in maybe one minute.) They washed and boxed our cake servers and toasting glasses. They kept the florist's vase boxes hidden but available for us to pack up.

Top Notch.

We had an amazing wedding reception at Kemper Lakes in October. After a year of planning, all of our ideas and visions came to life thanks to Jessica and the staff at Kemper Lakes. Jessica was great to work with, and a true professional. She has many years of experience, and the planning seemed almost too easy! Jessica really took the stress out of all the little details and was so responsive to any questions we had.

The grounds are beautiful! We had a perfect fall day and with so many great spots for photos, our pictures turned out incredible! Jessica recommended many photo locations throughout the golf course, and did not disappoint.

The menu options at Kemper were all delicious, we had a hard time deciding what to serve. Our guests could not stop talking about how good the food was, which is unusual at weddings. And the staff was very attentive, dinner was flawless.

All aspects of our wedding at Kemper was PERFECT!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Kemper Lakes on Sept 24, 2011. We were very happy with how everything turned out! The day started off with some off-and-on rain, but by early afternoon things had cleared up and the sun started peeking out, just as Jessica, the venue’s coordinator, had promised us it would!

Thank goodness the weather cooperated because one of the biggest selling points on this venue is the amazing landscaping... huge willow trees all over and the big lake. Our guests (and especially our photographer!) could not stop raving about how beautiful the trees looked… the ceremony setting on the peninsula is breathtaking. It is just an absolutely beautiful place to get married.

The day itself went very smoothly. The wait staff is great – they even put a plate full of hors d’ouevres at the head table during dinner because my husband and I weren’t able to attend much of the cocktail hour (too busy taking more pictures out in that gorgeous scenery!). Our guests kept saying the food was the best they’d ever had at a wedding. The cake, which came as part of Kemper’s package and was made by Lovin Oven Cakery, was so delicious – I was eating leftover red velvet for days after the wedding! I dropped off all my décor items at Kemper the Wednesday before our wedding and Jessica and her team set everything up perfectly – it looked even better than I had envisioned.

Speaking of Jessica, she was so fantastic to work with in the year leading up to the wedding. She was always quick to respond to my emails (sometimes even responding as late as 10pm!), of which I admit there were many. For a bride, particularly in the final weeks of wedding planning, it is invaluable to have a vendor who will respond so quickly and reassuringly. She even looked at my wedding-day timeline for me and made suggestions. I always felt confident that she would take care of everything. I can’t think of anything that I wanted or asked about that wasn’t given an answer of “no problem.” She communicated with all of my vendors and coordinated their arrivals, which was so great to not have to worry about.

In terms of price, I think that they were about mid-range of the many other venues in the northwest Chicago suburbs that we looked at. While it’s still a lot of money overall, I think you get what you pay for – the other venues that were cheaper were nowhere near as nice as Kemper.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Kemper Lakes as a venue to other brides and grooms! You will have so much fun, you won’t worry about a thing, and it will be beautiful.

I had my wedding ceremony and reception at Kemper Lakes and everything was perfect! I couldn't have asked for a better wedding.

Jessica was great to work with from start to finish! She's extremely friendly and was willing to work with my budget and had many great ideas.

The location was absolutely beautiful and even if there was the threat of rain or cold for the ceremony, there was the option to move inside just in case. Luckily it turned out to be a beautiful day so there were no worries.

All of the food was absolutely delicious! The cake made by Lovin Oven was absolutely delicious as well.

Jessica made sure everything ran smoothly and recommended some great vendors. I was able to relax and enjoy my day knowing I could trust the venue to take care of everything!

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Kemper Lakes on 9/17/11. Everything from the planning process to the wedding day was executed perfectly! We were two busy, working people planning our wedding from out of town, and Jessica made sure that the entire planning process went smoothly. It gave us such relief that we knew with 100% confidence that our wedding reception would be perfect! Jessica accommodated our schedules, and always responded quickly to phone calls and emails. She provided us with a great list of recommended vendors (who we'd also recommend), which made the planning process even easier for us. We really enjoyed the package that Kemper offers. Jessica coordinated our food, cake, table linens, set up and take down, and communicated with our florist and DJ to be sure the day went off without a hitch. This really allowed us (and our families) to enjoy the day rather than running around doing errands or cleaning up on our special day.

We have still been receiving compliments on how wonderful Kemper and the whole reception were. The venue is beautiful! I know our pictures are going to turn out wonderfully. Just the pictures that friends and family took outdoors on the patio during cocktail hour are already coming out beautifully. Everyone raved about the food! Jessica was also very accommodating to all of our friends and family with food restrictions. The cake, which came from Lovin Oven Cakery, was also delicious! Everything from the table linens to food choices were perfect, just as we knew they would be.

I'm so glad we picked Kemper Lakes to host our wedding reception because I could be a worry-free bride and truly enjoy a beautiful wedding day!

We had the wedding of our dreams at Kemper Lakes! It was absolutely beautiful from the start of the day til the end of the last song. The service, food, and venue were great. We had our ceremony there as well as the reception. Jessica was a great help and so very nice from day one. I would highly recommend Kemper Lakes to any bride hopeful for a romantic and beautiful wedding day!

Everything was beautiful! Jessica was awesome! The food was great! Couldn't have chose a better venue. Would definately recommend.

Our wedding and reception at Kemper Lakes were wonderful, and we can't recommend it highly enough if you're considering having a wedding and reception, or even just a reception, in the Chicago area. Jessica, the Food & Beverage Director, was our main point of contact at Kemper, and she was a pleasure to work with. She thought of important questions that we hadn't thought to ask and crucial details that we hadn't thought to consider. She was clearly very experienced with wedding and reception planning, and we felt that we were in good hands throughout the whole process.

Jessica wasn't the only bright point, though: the other staff members we encountered at Kemper Lakes, both before and during the wedding and reception, were uniformly friendly and willing to help. And the grounds at Kemper are just beautiful. We held our wedding and cocktail hour outside, and the whole thing was perfect. We were also able to take a number of portraits outside, using the grounds as a natural backdrop, and they came out wonderfully. We had so many guests tell us how gorgeous the wedding was and how much they loved the reception hall.

In addition to the beautiful venue and the attentive staff, the food that was served at the reception was, with no exaggeration, the best food we've had at a banquet-style event. Kemper Lakes has an extensive menu, and we were able to taste a number of the items to get a sense of what we liked. Honestly, it was hard to make a decision, because everything was so delicious. And the cake -- which is contracted from a local bakery -- was amazing as well. At the food tasting, we were given a full range of samples for both the cake and the fillings, and then we were allowed to taste the samples and make decisions at home. The process was well managed and ran smoothly.

We looked into a number of wedding and reception venues around Chicago, but Kemper Lakes was just what we were looking for: experienced staff, beautiful grounds, and wonderful food. Highly recommended.

The day was amazing. Kemper is the perfect location for a ceremony and reception. The ceremony site is breathtaking. it rained a lot the week leading up to our wedding and I was concerned that we would not be able to have the wedding outdoors but despite all the rain, the site was ready. Accomodations were made so the ceremony was able to take place outside and the guests wouldn't be sitting or walking on soggy grass. The sky was overcast and the temperature was cool but the ceremony was beautiful and went off without a hitch.
We moved to the patio for cocktails and hors d'ouvres which also allowed for people who might be cold to go inside as the temperature was a bit chilly.
The room was amazing with views of the lake and grounds.
The food was excellent from the appetizers to the dinner and dessert table. The service was prompt and the servers were very attentive. The cake from Lovin Oven Bakery that was provided was so delicious and moist.
Everything came together better than we had imagined it; which brings me to the real reason I would recommend Kemper and that is their wedding coordinator, Jessica Tzrop.
Jessica is an amazing person to work with. She was accomodating in every way you can imagine. She was responsive to emails and questions and came in on a Sunday to accomodate our schedules for our tasting day. Jessica had a personal wedding to attend out of state the day of our wedding but had 2 people in place to make sure that our wedding ran smoothly. She went out of her way the week before the wedding because I was so concerned about the weather since it had rained so much and rain was expected. She truly treated our wedding as if it was her own which is so highly unusual and unexpected these days. She made all of our dreams a reality.
I can't thank you enough Jessica for everything you did to make the day spectacular.
I would highly recommend Kemper for any event as no matter what it is, Jessica will make sure it is everything you want it to be.

Kemper Lakes was a perfect wedding venue in all respects - the reception hall and grounds are beautiful, the food is DELICIOUS (many guests told us it was the best wedding food they ever had), and it was the most reasonably priced venue of this quality that we came across. The fact that they provided and set up everything (tables, chairs, linens, etc. - as well as the decorations and favors we brought) saved us a lot of time and effort. Also, Jessica (the venue coordinator) was extremely responsive, professional, and flexible - she answered all calls and emails promptly, was very knowledgeable and helpful, coordinated all other vendors (DJ, florist, etc.) the day of the wedding, and was willing to make last-minute changes and additions to make sure everything was in line with what we wanted. We were 100% happy with the venue and service, got tons of compliments from guests, and would highly recommend Kemper Lakes to anyone!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Kemper Lakes and it was wonderful! The grounds are gorgeous and the cermony was out on the pennisula and was absolutely beautiful. The reception was fantastic where people raved about all of the food. Even the handful of vegetarians we had said the vegetarian food options we had picked were wonderful. All of the staff were professional, kind and helpful. Everything went perfect and Jessica was fantastic to work with. She was organized, had great ideas, made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves the whole time. Whenever I had a question for her throughout the planning process she was very quick at getting back to me. Thank you all for a great wedding day!

Our reception at Kemper Lakes was everything we'd hoped it would be. Our guests raved about the food from the Hors d'overs to the cake, one even commenting "I've been to a lot of weddings and this is by far the best food I've ever had." And no one went away hungry. The grounds are beautiful and the ballroom took my breath away when we walked in. It was truely everything we hoped for and more! When working with Jessica to design a package that worked for us, she was very flexible. She was wonderful to work with, listening to our ideas and jumping in with suggestions to help when she sensed we were struggling. The day of there were no worries, Jessica took care of everything. The service of the servers and bartenders was fabulous. Also because the venue was ours all day, there was no worrying that another event was running late or having to get out by a certain time. This venue gave us the fairytale reception we were looking for at the price we wanted. I would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone!!!!

I could not have asked for a more beautiful venue for our wedding. Jessica Trzop was a dream to work with. She made our planning as easy and effortless as possible. Jessica was always very helpful and answered all of our questions within hours. She was very friendly, accommodating, and understanding. When I arrived at Kemper Lakes on our wedding day I did not have a care in the world because I knew Jessica was taking care of everything and I knew she would make our day run smoothly. And true to Jessica's motto, "It never rains on a Kemper bride'!! With the weather the way it was leading up to our wedding day, I was nervous that the ceremony wouldn't get to be outdoors but the weather held out for us and the ceremony site was perfect! Kemper Lakes provided us with a beautiful background for our photos and we received many compliments on the wedding. I wouldn't change a thing. I highly recommend Kemper Lakes Golf Club to any couple looking for a naturally beautiful and classy venue.

Kemper Lakes is wonderful. Jessica (Kemper Lakes' wedding planner) is very organized and easy to work with. She made sure that our wedding was perfect. The reception room is gorgeous and the grounds are a perfect backdrop for pictures! People who came to my wedding are still talking about it, saying that our wedding reception was the prettiest one they've been to. I would highly recommend it to anyone. You will have a perfect, fairytale wedding here!

It never rains on a Kemper Bride! Our ceremony was delayed about fifteen minutes and Jessica promised me the weather would cooperate. When my dad and I walked out on the pathway there was a rainbow in the fountain and the sun was shining! The ceremony was beautiful! I don't think we could have gotten married in a prettier setting. Jessica was extremely organized and very helpful. She answered all of my questions in a timely manner. We had to plan our wedding from Arizona and needed to make sure the venue we selected had a wedding planner that was on top of their game and Jessica did an amazing job! The reception hall was gorgeous! It was decorated just as I had envisioned. The food and service was incredible. We received so many compliments on how beautiful the wedding and reception was. We would highly recommend Kemper Lakes Golf Club!! We had the wedding of my dreams.

Thanks,
Kyle and Brittany Pettengell :-)

Jessica Trzop was my daughter's bridal consultant at Kemper Lakes for her wedding July 10, 2010. She was wonderful both to my daughter and myself; professional, efficient, timely, courteous, CALMING, and reassuring. She delivered ALL that was promised to us and more with no hidden costs or agendas! I could not recommend anyone more highly than Jessica; she is a pleasure and a delight to work with and knows how to deliver what she promises! Thank you Jessica! Sharon and Alan Breunig, Spring Grove

We were so pleased with our entire experience at Kemper Lakes. We had our wedding reception here and it was so wonderful. Beginning with the event planner at Kemper. From the very first steps of the wedding planning process all the way to the day of, Jessica was unbelievable. She is so amazing at what she does. I am seriously going to miss her now that the wedding is over!!! Jessica was always so prompt to respond to any of my (million) questions. So classy and professional!! And just so great at what she does. You will be so happy to work with her for your event.

After seeing Kemper Lakes and its reception room for the first time, I was so excited. I brought my fiance back to see it as well and when he loved it too, that was it! Kemper would be the place to have our wedding reception! Kemper’s landscape is just breath taking! And the reception room has high vaulted ceilings that you normally do not find at golf clubs. This was important to us so the room looked as spacious as possible. The room is surrounded by huge windows all around, allowing you and guests to see the lake and greens, along with the beautiful flowers and trees everywhere. The landscaping is amazing. The flowers are breathtaking. Our wedding was the last weekend in June and the weather was perfect! Our guests enjoyed their cocktail hour outside on the huge patio outside the reception room, eating amazing appetizers, drinking cocktails, and taking in the amazing views.

When we saw how beautiful the room was decorated, we were so consumed with happiness! We chose chaivari chairs and this really helped the space since we had the maximum capacity of people. Having chair covers would have made the room too bulky. And we had our flowers done by GnG Designs, which was another huge success! The flowers were so beautiful and they surpassed all my expectations. The food at Kemper was another big plus for us. It is outstanding! From the appetizers, to dinner, to sweets, everything was so great. Throughout the night, people would come up to us or our family members, telling us what a beautiful wedding we had as well as what a great time they were having, and us! That made us so happy too knowing our guests were enjoying the wedding so much! Kemper did an outstanding job. We could not have asked for more.

My now husband ☺ and I were on cloud-9 all day and night. Kemper Lakes was so perfect for us and I know it will be for anyone else who is thinking of having their wedding there. Thank you again Jessica for making our wedding day even more wonderful than either of us had ever imagined!

Our wedding reception was held at Kemper Lakes on May 22, 2010, and we continue to get compliments, almost on a daily bases, not only on how beautiful and elegant the golf course setting was, but also on the amazing food and overall service. Kemper Lakes went above and beyond to accommodate us and our families, as well as every last guest we invited. Jessica Trozp was unbelievably helpful and responsive, giving us ideas and providing us with information on every aspect of the evening. We couldn't have imagined a more perfect evening and so many of our guests have told us it was one of the most beautiful locations they had ever been to for a wedding and absolutely PERFECT for pictures. We are so lucky to have such wonderful memories of our wedding and we have to thank Kemper Lakes, Jessica and staff for all their help to make that happen!

Kemper Lakes is a phenomenal place to have a wedding reception. It took us all of about 10 minutes of a tour around their facility to fall in love with it. Luckily, they had our date open and we jumped on booking it. It has a number of great things to offer - the food was fantastic, the ambiance was exactly what we were looking for, and the main room and outdoor patio left little to be desired. We received so many great compliments from our guests who enjoyed the setting and the experience from the moment they walked into our cocktail hour. Even some of the pickiest people we know had a great time. :-)

Above all, it was our experience with Jessica, the Kemper Lakes Wedding Coordinator, which made us feel so comfortable. From the first time we met with her, she put our minds at ease. She was so easy to work with, she had great ideas, and she was very thorough. Her patience, flexibility, and professionalism really helped to round out the first class experience that we will remember for the rest of our lives.

Thank you Kemper Lakes and Jessica!

My wedding at Kemper Lakes could not have been more perfect. The staff and service was phenomenal and you cannot compete with their picturesque golf course setting. Jessica Trzop, the wedding coordinator at Kemper, was always professional, organized, responsive and knowledgeable.

I highly recommend a wedding at Kemper Lakes. Easily the best wedding choice I made.

We booked our daughter's 2010 wedding at the end of 2008. Since 2010 prices were yet to be determined, Jessica guaranteed us the 2009 prices which was the first sign that we were dealing with a premium venue. The wedding day was cloudy w/a chance of rain, so she suggested that we delay the ceremony by 15 minutes. True to her word, "It never rains on a Kemper wedding!" The wait staff was prompt, courteous and un-obtrusive. All our requests were met and the feedback from our guests was glowing. We recommend this venue without hesitation. The setting is spectacular and the people are even better!

The staff was friendly, each one of them. Our guests are still talking about the fun they had, how beautiful everything was, all the details were there and the friendly staff. We can't thank you enough Jessica for all you did to make this event special.

We got married at Kemper Lakes on May 29 2010. I truly believe this is a perfect place for your special day. First of all, the place is just so beautiful inside and out. The beauty of the nature surrounding the ceremony site is unbelievable, that adding flowers there will be just a waste of money. The banquet room is gorgeous as well and the patio outside was a perfect place for the cocktail hour. Second of all, Kemper Lakes only hosts one wedding per evening, so you feel like you and your guests basically own the place. However, the most impressive thing about this place is Jessica Tropz, the Food and Beverage Director and basically your wedding planner. She made all of our requests happen. She was very flexible and able to accommodate all our needs. She was extremely helpful in providing ideas, advises and ways to stay within your budget without compromising the quality of your wedding reception. Another thing that I love about Jessica is her responsiveness. I bombarded her with tons of questions and she never missed any of them and always e-mailed me back in no time.

You may make many mistakes during your wedding planning, but choosing Kemper Lakes to be the venue for your wedding day is not one of them. You will be pleased with the entire experience and your guests compliments will assure you that you made a perfect choice.

We had our wedding reception at Kemper Lakes Golf Club on May 8, 2010. From the moment we started working with Kemper the experience was nothing short of wonderful and stress-free. Jessica is extremely helpful and somehow manages to stay on top of every detail. I feel like I emailed her hundreds of times over the course of the 8 months of planning and I always received a prompt and friendly response, no matter how many questions I asked. When it came time to sort out the final details, Jessica was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We spent two hours at our tasting, extremely relaxed and making decisions. We never felt rushed, and Jessica wanted us to be happy as much as we did. When it came time for the day of the wedding, the entire staff at Kemper was wonderful. We have received many, many compliments from our guests on the food, location, staff and decor. I felt totally relaxed knowing that the event was in good hands. We would HIGHLY recommend Kemper Lakes to anyone getting married. From start to finish, you won't be disappointed!!!

I can't imagine a better venue than Kemper Lakes. The site had everything we wanted: they host only one event at a time, it has a beautiful view, the food was fantastic, the service was great, and the location was close to our Church. Jessica Trzop is wonderful to work with - she's flexible, helpful, patient, and she made sure everything went PERFECTLY! She had great suggestions and she always followed through on her promises. I highly recommend Kemper Lakes. Many of our guests said it was the most beautiful and most fun reception they'd ever attended. It was a night of memories we will cherish forever.

My daughter was married on April 17, 2010 and her reception was held at Kemper Lakes Golf Club. The setting in a room overlooking the golf course and the lake at sunset, the candlelight, and the flowers created a breathtaking affect that all of our guests commented on. The food was delicious, the service impeccable, and the banquet consultant left no detail unattended. The night was absolutely magical. I couldn't have asked for anything more. I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for that "special" place. Thanks, Jessica. Carol (Mother of the Bride)

Kemper Lakes Golf Club gave me the wedding of my dreams! Almost everything wonderful about this place has already been said by the other brides on this page, but I will rave some more:

Quality of Service: First off, the venue is gorgeous! My husband and I got married under the willow tree during what was one of the most gorgeous days of this year. This was preferred, of course, but I was not the least bit stressed whatever the weather turned out to be, because I know Jessica (Trzop, the Food & Beverage Director/Wedding Coordinator at Kemper Lakes) and the other amazing staff would have any circumstance under control! Every last person at this venue was unbelievable, from the bartenders, to the chef, to the general staff, to Jessica herself.
As for the planning process itself, Jessica made it beyond easy. We had a Jewish wedding, and she knew everything single detail that needed to be planned out, from the table for the head coverings, to the ketubah signing, and everything in between. Trust me, going into the day, I knew Jessica had it under control! Lastly, the food was unbelievable! People are still talking about it!

Responsiveness: Jessica was unbelievably responsive. My mom and I did most of the planning for this, and we often said to ourselves that we felt we didn't need a wedding planner because she was so on top of everything. We considered ourselves very lucky compared to friends of mine that were quoted a price and were left to their own devices.

Professionalism: Jessica is a true professional and excellent at her job. The staff in general, the day of the wedding, was extremely professional.

Value for cost: Excellent. Plus, Jessica will work with you to make the package work for you. This is not the sort of place that tries to take advantage of the fact that you are having a wedding in order to take you for every penny. Trust me, I saw plenty of those sorts of places!

Flexibility: Again, they were very flexible in creating the sort of wedding I wanted and the particulars. My mom and I were frequent visitors to Kemper, peeking our heads in to see the various weddings that were to take place there that night, and we saw everything from black tie to more casual themed weddings held there. Jessica will work with you to create whatever your dream is!

Overall: Have your wedding here! It is truly a hidden gem. It was one of the best days of my life, people have not stopped talking about how beautiful the ceremony was under the willow trees. I sound like a commercial for this place, I know, but I am just so lucky to have found this place and I want other brides to have it too! Thanks Kemper and especially Jessica!

From reading all the reviews on this website of Kemper Lakes Golf Club, one would assume the data and/or reviews were modified in some way. Yet, after having our wedding at Kemper Lakes Golf Club on Saturday, September 19, 2009, I am not one bit surprised at the high, almost perfect scores this venue has received from everyone who has written a review. Jessica Trzop, the Food & Beverage Director/Wedding Coordinator at Kemper Lakes was instrumental in creating the most inviting and memorable atmosphere possible for our special day!

During the planning and preparation for our wedding, every last detail was thought of and discussed with me and my wife. Our requests were valued and respected every step of the way with Jessica and Kemper Lakes. Jessica did a great job of returning phone calls and emails. The wedding was in cruise control once the night began thanks to Jessica and the Kemper Lakes staff. We had nothing to worry about and enjoyed the night, like the bride and groom should!

If you are looking for a wedding reception venue that is accommodating, supportive, organized, and beautiful, Kemper Lakes Golf Club is the place for you! My wife and I have many memories that will be held dear to our hearts forever because of the hard work and thoughtful preparation of Jessica Trzop and Kemper Lakes Golf Club.

From the first moment we saw the reception hall we knew it was the place for us! The room overlooks the perfectly-groomed golf course and lake. The cocktail hour was held outside on the veranda which wraps around the room overlooking this panoramic view of the golf course and the lake. We couldn't have asked for anything more!

This wedding was the best party of our lives! We couldn't have picked a better venue for our reception! We highly recommend Kemper Lakes Golf Club!!

WOW!!! If you want a magical wedding, this is your venue. Our wedding was on Labor Day weekend and it was picture perfect. My wife stresses out very easily when it comes to wedding planning, however, Jessica knows how to take charge and she did an absolutely amazing job to ensure all the small little details were in place. You really can't ask for a better wedding coordinator - she was really spot on with everything, and ensured that everything went smoothly.

Our ceremony was outside and our guests continue to tell us how elegant the event was. The scenery is breathtaking and it's a private and very natural setting which is exactly what my wife and I wanted. Indoors, we had a live band and showed a video montage as well. Jessica ensured that everything went without a hitch and helped to coordinate all the speeches.

I received an e-mail the next morning from Jessica saying how beautiful the event was and even is sending me a CD of pictures that she personally took of the room. It is clear that she goes above and beyond her job duties and certainly loves her job.

A mix of Kemper Lakes with Jessica's 5 star service makes this venue a must for anyone looking to have an elegant and memorable wedding!

My experience with Kemper was fantastic. Jessica was responsive to all my needs and was very accessible by email. The outdoor ceremony site is just perfect and many of my guests who were locals from the area remarked that they couldn't believe there was such a nice site nearby. Compared to other venues nearby, I felt this was a good value for everything it included. It was nice to not have to work with so many vendors since both the food and cake were included and were very high quality. I would highly recommend Kemper.

Kemper Lakes was the perfect location for our wedding reception. It is a beautiful venue with views of a lake, fountain, golf course and an outdoor patio. Everyone enjoyed talking pictures on the patio during cocktail hour. I knew the second I walked in it was where I wanted my reception. Jessica Trzop was fabulous and assisted me with my every need, want and question. She was very organized, very timely and easy to work with. The room looked amazing the night of the wedding, the staff was great, the bartenders were awesome and the cake was beautiful and very tasty (they use their own cake vendor and it is included in the package). Our friends and family all raved about Kemper and how beautiful the reception was, how good the food was and how much fun they had there, especially the outdoor patio. I personally love how Kemper was set up for dinner - the dance floor is on the far wall and all the tables are together around the room (bride and groom sides are NOT separated). I highly recommend Kemper Lakes and was so happy with the service which was provided. I wouldn't have changed a thing and couldn't imagine having our wedding reception anywhere else! Thank you Jessica and Kemper staff!!!

Our wedding at Kemper Lakes was amazing!!!! When I walked into the reception the room took my breath away. I never dreamed the room would look as beautiful as it did. Guests were amazed with the quality of the food and the beautiful presentation of the cake and sweet table. Lovin Oven Bakery is used for the cake and sweets, which was amazing! The staff was extremely kind and tried to fulfill every need. It was a pleasure working with Jessica Trzop every step of the way. Jessica was extremely professional and helped me with every decision. We could not have been happier with how smoothly the day went and would highly recommend Kemper Lakes!!

Kemper was great! My wedding was supposed to be outside but unfortunately it rained and Kemper did an amazing job getting it set up beautifully indoors for the wedding of my dreams. Jessica did an outstanding job and was prepared for every possible outcome. I could not have asked for a better day! Thank you Jessica and all of the staff that made our day special!

Our wedding reception was magical! The food was delicious and never ending, the service was impeccable, and the location was dazzling! We truly enjoyed ourselves as everything was organized and set up just as we had discussed. The location is beautiful with the lush trees and sparkling lake. Our pictures are amazing!

Jessica at Kemper was extremely helpful in guiding us throught the wedding planning process-their staff support of setting up the tables, centerpieces, card table etc took a lot of stress off of us and allowed us to concentrate on 'the bridal couple'--in addition, the weather for the wedding day was less than perfect and Kemper was very supportive and flexible-- their help,caring and support for our event made my daughter's wedding ceremony and reception exceptional. In addition the food was great and our guests commented how they had never been to a wedding that was so beautiful, had such sensational food and great service. thank you kemper.

Kemper Lakes was perfect for my wedding. The location is beautiful and the staff has perfected wedding receptions. The food is fantastic, views are gorgeous, and prices are very reasonable. The coordinator was always accessible through planning and always helpful- communication was great. Everything was in place the day of my wedding, I didn't have to worry about anything. I highly recommend Kemper Lakes!

From beginning to the end of this process. Jessica Trzop and her staff took great care of us. The food selection and presentation was superb. Everyone raved about the food (A++) and service(A++). The room was elegant, linens to chairs - if there was any changes (and there will be changes) - it will be efficiently with professionalism and a smile. Believe me something is not going to go according to schedule. The setting is beautiful - flowers, lake, outdoor terrace ,paved brick walkway lined with flowers. If you have never planned an event before, I only can tell you Kemper is highly quality. Thank you Jessica and staff providing a wonderful event .

I always knew I wanted a beautiful, elegant location for my wedding reception. I knew that the food needed to be fantastic, and I knew that I wanted to work with someone who would be reliable and attentive to me. Kemper Lakes rose above and beyond all of my expectations! Throughout this journey, Jessica Trzop has been a true angel to me and my family. I received top notched service from her. If there was a problem, like when my guest list started to get too big, or something I wanted to add Jessica would tell me not to worry and she would take care of it. And she did!! She listened to what I wanted my reception to be, and then she gave it to me. I remember walking into my reception and gasped because it looked so elegant. Our guests are still raving about the food and it truly was fantastic. I had my dream wedding because of Jessica and the fine staff at Kemper Lakes!

Jessica--

I just wanted to thank you again for the beautiful job that you did for Sarah's wedding last Friday -- it was truly like walking into a "fairyland" when we got there! Sarah was so happy with everything (as were we all)! The tables, the food, the staff -- everything was more than we ever expected! Thank you, too, for all of the help that you gave us -- I never would have been able to pull this off without you!! You even came through on the weather for us!!

We will never forget our "first" wedding experience, Jessica -- it made it all seem so easy. I can't tell you the number of compliments we received on everything at Kemper. Hopefully we can work with you again for one of our other weddings (though this one will be hard to top!).

Thanks again for everything, Jessica!

I just got married at Kemper Lakes Golf club and they did an outstanding job in all areas. The staff was very organized and professional in getting everything set up and looking good on time. Their help and experience helped eased a tremendous amount of my stress. It was evident that they do this on a regular basis and set the standard high. The food was also very well prepared and tasted great! Jessica and the other staff members did everything I had hoped for and more. I would highly recommend Kemper Lakes to anyone planning a wedding.

We highly recommend Kemper Lakes Golf Club. Our daughters wedding was planned in just 2 1/2 weeks due to the groom being in the US Army and deciding they want to be married during his short 4 day leave. We worked with Jessica Trzop, Food and Beverage director at Kemper Lakes, whom we refer to as our wedding planner because she worked with us as a professional to make everything come together as if we had planned for a year. Jessica always returned our calls promptly and was willing to work with last minute changes. The Golf Club is the most beautiful property in the area providing a setting for a dream wedding. The banquet facility has two walls of solid windows connecting to a beautiful patio for guests to mingle and the grounds are beautiful. The staff was friendly, each one of them. Our guests are still talking about the fun they had, how beautiful everything was, all the details were there and the friendly staff. We can't thank you enough Jessica for all you did to make this event special. (Wasmer/Dill Wedding May 31, 2009)

Kemper Lakes and their event coordinator, Jessica, worked with us extremely well. She was knowledgable and offered great suggestions and advice. We were looking for a less traditional look and feel and they worked with us all along. We heard back from her promptly every single time we called or emailed. She was flexible as we changed our minds and the event we had was done top-notch. Kemper had everything done beautifully and I am still hearing compliments about how good the food is two months later. You never hear about wedding food being great, but people were raving.

Kemper Lakes is an excellent and affordable reception location. They are very willing to work with you to meet your needs and are overwhelmingly responsive and flexible.

We were thrilled with Kemper. It was beautiful and Jessica and her staff did a fanstastic job!

There is a certain level of expectation when it comes to your wedding reception. You want to have a beautiful venue, scenery, food and amazing relationship with the main contact at the venue. The cherry on top would be an excellent value right?

If all of those things are important to your wedding day, then Kemper Lakes is the way to go!

My wife and I got married there this past May. I cannot write enough how many compliments we've gotten on the venue, atmosphere, even down to the food. It's a saying that not everything goes perfect during the wedding. Thankfully enough, the experience at the venue was sheer perfection.

Jessica, who is the clubhouse manager at the beautiful facility was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. She was able to help bring our dreams into a reality. She listened to our every need and made sure that day, we were all smiles and no stress.

Highly recommend this venue. You will not be disappointed!

After visiting 17 different venues in the Chicago area (across Cook and Lake counties), Kemper Lakes was the clear standout both in quality and value.

The venue was extremely picturesque (both outside for the ceremony and inside for the reception), and lent itself wonderfully to photos. The reception area is both elegant and spacious, requiring very little extra decoration in order to feel special. Outdoors, there are plenty of gardens and a ceremony space by a lake where you can get married between two willow trees.

The package deal of ceremony, catering, cake, bar, linens, equipment, etc. proved to be an exceptional value.

Jessica, who is the event coordinator at Kemper Lakes, responded to each of our emails within minutes, met with us several times, and allowed us to customize our ceremony and reception as much as we wanted. She significantly brought down our stress levels during the entire process; she was all-around a pleasure to work with.

Kemper Lakes was the perfect wedding location! From the minute we met with Jessica, she was willing to work with us to ensure the best wedding day. The location is absolutely gorgeous, and the employees were very friendly and easy to work with.

On the day of the wedding, my bridal party and I walked into the clubhouse and was serenaded by a group of golfers that were having drinks at the bar. Talk about a great way to start the day!

The food was fabulous! I still have people telling me how much they enjoyed the meal and the overall dinner service.

If you are looking for a wedding venue that is a "one stop shop," this is the perfect place for you! They take care of everything and the final results were simply memorable!

I had my wedding reception at Kemper a few weeks ago and it was amazing! Jessica was great to work with throughout the entire process. Originally we weren't going to go look at Kemper because we thought it was too expensive, but Jessica called us back when we canceled our visit and told us she could give us Friday pricing for a Saturday wedding. We loved the big windows all around the room, our guests said the food was great (it was good at the tasting but I didn't get to eat much at the wedding). They also did our cake through Lovin' Oven Bakery & the cake/cupcakes looked fantastic & tasted really good (according to our guests). My husband and I are so pleased with how everything turned out & we're so glad we chose Kemper. The wedding photos outdoors look great (from the ones we've seen so far) too. We'd highly recommend Kemper for your wedding!
