HORRIBLEEEEEE!! They were so unprofessional and rude to me on my wedding weekend and WEDDING DAY! 3 different occasions i was left upset and in tears. When i booked them when i fir...
st started wedding planning they said i could have certain things at the venue to literally wait UNTIL DAY BEFORE MY WEDDING TO TELL ME I COULDNT AFTER I SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. The general manager was RUDE! They were the only thing during my whole wedding experience i regret! Also we was told reception hall would be $1800 the time my wedding came we spent almost $3000, $4900 with chairs we had to rent! Save your time and money i wish i could redo it all to take my horrible experience back! The ceiling was leaking.
They were fine to work with, but not super helpful on day of. They told us they would be available on day of, but they weren't. I had to go to the front desk multiple times for thi...
ngs, including needing hand soap and paper towels for the bathroom of the room we were getting ready in. Hospitality room to get ready in wasn't very clean, but it was small stuff. The biggest issue was the charge they added because we left some fake rose petals on the floor of the honeymoon suite. Otherwise, the ceremony and reception space was great and wonderful.
We are so happy we had our wedding at the conference center. We chose them because we fell in love with the MLK ballroom for our old hollywood themed wedding. We also loved the con...
venience of having hotel rooms available for the bridal party and out of town family. They were amazing to work with. Gabby was always quick to respond. She was a huge help with working with catering and setting up our floorplan. She gave a ton of great advice. I couldn't have imagined them making the process any easier. It was amazing that they allowed us the night before to set up and the morning after the wedding to tear down. Our guests also loved our bartender who was so friendly and was keeping up with everyone with the open bar.
Michael and his staff were great to work with! Michael made sure every detail was exactly how we wanted and even helped us to customize our wedding package to meet our needs (and s...
ave us money!). We had our ceremony and reception at the Conference Center and we were very pleased with every step of the way. We received several comments about how polite and friendly the servers were and how smoothly everything went. We would definitely recommend DCCH to anyone who is looking for a ceremony/reception venue.
We looked for a vendor for over a year, this was the most reasonable priced. We had our wedding outside, they provided us transportation around the area to have our pictures taken....
We had the best wedding anyone could ask for. The staff and Micheal Maggi were awesome, they went very helpful and took care of every detail on our wedding day, as the bride I did not have anything to worry about other then getting to wedding on time. They decorated the way we asked it to be and they had some decorating ideas of their our and it looked fabulous . They took care of everything at the end of the night. We didn't have to clean up anything. I would highly recommend this vendor.
So excited for our upcoming wedding and reception at Decatur Conference Center and Hotel. Michael has been awesome about answering all of our questions promptly. He definitely know...
s what he is doing and has just been great from the very start! I know that it will be everything I hoped for and I can't wait for the big day :)
We didn't end up going with the Decatur Conference Center. After some budget cuts in our planning, we just couldn't budget that much for the reception. But during the time that w...
e did work with Michael, and taking a tour of this venue, it was amazing. Michael was more than accommodating, and listened to what we really wanted. Even though we didn't use this place, I would still recommend it to others as a beautiful venue with a great planner!
What a wonderful place to have a wedding! From day one Michael was there to help me through every question I had! I couldn't have had the amazing wedding without his help!! Having ...
both the ceremony and reception there was also great not only for the bridal party, but the guests... No waiting in between the two and no driving. If I could do it all again, I would def. do the everything again at the DCCH!
Decatur Conference Center & Hotel is a great reception venue option for the Decatur area. They have multiple ballrooms to choose from and you can't beat the convenience of having h...
otel rooms right on site. The wedding coordinator gave us great ideas and helped keep us on track during the whole planning process. This venue is a little pricier than others in the area, but definitely worth it.
If you want a dream come true event, this is the place for your wedding. Despite your budget, the outcome is spectacular from the fabulous food, wonderful service, great ambiance,...
convenient location and on-site services available to guests...The Decatur Conference Center and Hotel meets the highest standards.
I recently had my wedding reception at Decatur Conference Center. Let me tell you, from the time I booked the venue about 10 months prior to the big day my wedding coordinator Cami...
Kern kept me 100% in the loop. I was the type of bride that had been planning my wedding since i was a child, in fact, I was dreading planning the wedding. Cami kept in me on track for when i needed to have certain things turned in or done by. DCCH has a wonderful staff and ALL the amenities, which took the stress off my shoulders. If i needed ANYTHING, they were at my beckon call! They even cleaned up all our decorations after the ceremony and boxed them up for me so we didn't have to do any of it!
The food was EXCELLENT! Nothing but compliments! Venue was beautiful with the uplighting my DJ brought. Room was spacious, large dance floor, full bar, easy access to bathrooms.
This venue is pricier than other venues in the area, but in the end, it was worth it to me for the quality of a party we had & the peace of mind knowing everything was going to go smoothly and be taken care of without me or my family having to even think about it. I was able to go to my reception and relax and have a good time rather than stressing about certain things or cleaning up at the end of the night.
I would highly recommend DCCH if you dont mind spending a little extra $$ but want the best venue with the best staff & best food for your one and only BIG day!!!
We had both the ceremony & reception in the MLK ballroom and it all worked out so perfectly- I wouldn't have changed a thing! Cami Kern was amazing at organizing all of the details...
for the day of our wedding! From the time-line to keeping me updated with all of the final touches- like the meal plan and cocktail hour- she was always informative and let me know asap when something changed and what-not. Without her, I wouldn't have been able to have the wonderful day with my friends and family that I was able to just ENJOY! not worry about whether or not the flowers made it to the venue on time and so on- she took care of ALL of the fine-print details so I could just have fun with my husband!! :) I will say, it was a little expensive- my father paid for it- but the venue was COMPLETELY worth it... every penny! We got Cami!!!! as a wedding coordinator, we had the DCCH cater the reception and cocktail hour and the food was SOOO amazing- we had compliments from all of our guests about how delicious the meal was! The staff was so accommodating as well! I've been braggin on Cami for a while & although she was a HUGE part of keeping that day going smoothly, without the rest of the staff from DCCH it wouldn't have gone as easy and carefree as it did. I was told numerous times that our wedding was elegant and classy and one of the best that they've been to! So that definately shows how good the DCCH performed that day :) ALSO- there is a pond behind the DCCH which was a beautiful place for taking pictures! (that way we didn't have to actually leave the premisis LOL) SO, I think it's safe to say- if your ideal wedding is centered around elegance & a classy location- then DCCH is definately the place to look into!
I have nothing but good things to say about having my reception at this venue. I was very pleased with the service from the banquet, kitchen, and hotel staff. The banquet/sales s...
taff were very calm, cool, and collected from the beginning planning stages to the big day! They thought of little details that made my day extra special that I hadn't thought of! The food was delicious and I received many compliments on it! The banquet staff did their job without being a distraction to my guests. The sleeping rooms very nice and accommodating. I would highly recommend the Decatur Conference Center & Hotel for a wedding reception!
My husband and I had our wedding reception at the DCC&H last year and the venue was absolutely perfect. We had many out of town guests and they were all able to stay in the hotel w...
ith the affordable group rate. Our reception was in the gorgeous MLK Ballroom with high ceilings, beautiful chandeliers and plenty of space for the dance floor, dinner buffet, bar, and photo booth to all be in the same room. Our grand entrance from the second level staircase was also quite memorable and made for great photo opportunities. The staff at the DCC&H who coordinated the wedding reception were fabulous. They make sure you have everything you need (even going as far as placing 2 extra meals in the honeymoon suite for us since we all know the bride & groom don't eat much at their wedding!), along with a bottle of champagne and chocolates. I would highly recommend this venue for any bride in the central Illinois area who wants personalized attention & multiple options for room size and layout! We loved having our reception at the Decatur Conference Center & Hotel!
