We had our wedding reception at Hotel Vandivort's rooftop bar, Vantage! We loved our reception, the hotel was very easy to work with and on the day off the 'banquet captain' helped...
let me and my husband enjoy the night by bringing us drinks and checking in with us throughout the night! The only reason I took off a star is due to the appetizers. They list each appetizer as serving 25 people, based on 2 pieces a person, we got 6 appetizers per recommendations from the venue and had around 85 guests, but most guests did not get an appetizer. We based how many appetizers on how many each serves and not on how many pieces are actually available, so if you go here I would recommend looking a bit closer at those! Other than that, the entire planning process was a breeze, there was an issue with parking garage but that was entirely out of the venue's control and did not cause any big problems! We had a great night and have no regrets choosing to have our reception at Vantage!
My husband and I recently had our wedding at Hotel Vandivort and it was truly a magical experience. We had a multi day stay, the rooms were beautiful, clean, and staff was attentiv...
e and helpful. We had our rehearsal dinner there as well, the room was beautifully decorated, and the food was delicious. Jacob Shaw was our event coordinator for our entire wedding weekend, and I am so grateful for his help! Jacob has an excellent customer service, attention to detail, and he was incredibly accommodating. He has a great team as well that really helped us in so many ways from the allergies, to little decor details, to tape for wedding party! :) Our wedding was so beautiful, and everything went so perfectly. Once again, the food was delicious! The venue is beautiful in itself, but it's made even better by the wonderful staff. If you're looking for a venue for your next event, I highly recommend going with Hotel Vandivort.
We had our wedding at Hotel Vandivort on June 8, 2024 and Hotel Vandivort and their WHOLE staff was nothing short of AMAZING. Working with Marina in the planning process was 10/10....
She was always prepared and went above and beyond on any of my requests. Jacob ran the catering aspect and he was incredible as well. The hour room flip went amazing. The food was INCREDIBLE. Our guests could not stop raving about the food and service. Thank you, Hotel Vandivort for such a great experience!!!!!
Hotel Vandivort was the perfect venue for our Wedding Rehearsal Dinner for my son and daughter-in-law on September 28, 2023. We had cocktails at Vantage, the rooftop bar and the B...
allroom for Dinner. The appetizers, signature cocktail, food and service were excellent!!
Hotel Vandivort is where all wedding guests, family and friends stayed. A wonderful hotel, beautiful, clean, and a great location for morning coffee shops in downtown Springfield. We enjoyed sitting outside both evenings at Vantage around the outdoor fires on the rooftop. I highly recommend this Hotel and Venue!
I sent them an inquire on their website and no one got in contact with me for about a week. Then I called the hotel and Kristy answered. She told me she would transfer me to the ev...
ent manager. No one answered so I left a voicemail. The next day I called back and Kristy answered again and was rude overall and told me that I need to wait longer than a day to get a response. She also then told me everyone was out sick and that’s why no one picked up my call the previous day. That information would have been nice the first day I called. That same day, Hannah the event manger, called me and told me she would get back to me about a tour day. A week went by and she never got back too me. So I called the hotel again and Kristy picked up. I told her I wanted to get transferred to Hannah. She sent me to someone else’s voicemail. I called again and someone else picked up. I think the name was Tiffany or Miranda or something like that. We asked her if we could just come tour the place and she said yes. We showed up and no one acted like they knew we were coming. I told them Tiffany or Miranda told me I could come and she was standing right there acting like she didn’t know anything. Someone eventually took us up to tour and he was fine. The lady who was the manager of the ballroom was also fine but I kept getting passed around that day and I was just trying to get more information about the location. They kept telling me to email Hannah and I told them I have been and that she is not very responsive. Another person came out who told me she’s been there longer than Hannah and could try to help me. She answered most of my question and told me that she would try to get into contact with Hannah for me. It’s been almost a week. I have lost patience with them and they are the only venue that has been this disorganized and did not respond in a timely manner. I think I’m total I’ve been trying to contact them for about 3 weeks. I have had a horrible experience and will not be supporting hotel vandivort nor will I be supporting Vantage.
Hotel Vandivort and its staff were a huge help during our wedding preparation until our wedding day. The staff have been awesome! From the former Catering Sales Manager Katie to th...
e Sales and Catering Coordinator Marisa. One of the staff at the Vantage, Madison even helped me in removing the stains from my wedding gown.
The Surveyor Suite was massive and was perfect for getting ready for the whole bridal party. The food was delicious! My niece kept raving about the cashew chicken and I heard one of the staff from the cocktails was actually making sure he has more for her. The food service on the dinner was so prompt that the main was actually ready as soon as we had our salad plate taken away. The hotel staff assisted with all our queries and meetings and ensuring that we are taken cared of on our wedding event. Excellent service!
Hotel Vandivort was a beautiful venue for our wedding and reception last fall. Katie, the Catering/Sales Manager, was really easy to work with and made sure that every detail was t...
aken care of for us. Our guests spoke very highly of the staff working at the reception, and the food and drinks were great! The suite for the night before the wedding and the wedding night was wonderful, especially having a balcony for photos while getting ready. We had a "happy hour" in the Cornerstone room off the main lobby for the guests while wedding pictures were taken, which Katie organized for us and was included in our event rental at no extra charge. We also took advantage of the new rooftop bar Vantage for pictures and a post-reception celebration with a cabana rental. Overall, we and our guests had an incredible time, and we would highly recommend Hotel Vandivort to any engaged couples looking for a classy and fun venue.
Honestly, I can't say enough wonderful things about Hotel Vandivort.
When my husband asked where I wanted to have our wedding, I immediately said Hotel Vandivort. I wanted a ve...
nue that we could use for every aspect of our day, centrally located for everyone. The fact that the aesthetic fit perfectly into my vision was a bonus!
As soon as I saw the ballroom, I started to cry. The lighting was amazing, the acoustics were phenomenal, and the energy in the room pulled us in. We immediately booked and started planning.
Katie was an integral part of making our day come together. She was always fast to respond to questions, working with us when we needed access to the ballroom, and recommending vendors. Katie's calm demeanor was a lifesaver in stressful moments.
The other staff was equally wonderful. From housekeeping and valets, the wait and check in staff, they were all so polite and always greeted us with a smile. We felt as if they really cared about us having a great experience and the level of service was phenomenal. The Order provided amazing appetizers, serving everything at the proper time and making sure all the food stayed the perfect temperature. No guest was left out and everyone raved about the food and drinks. My husband was very impressed that they were able to order in his favorite non alcoholic beer. Hotel Vandivort went the extra mile to make sure everything about our event came together without a snag.
I cannot recommend Hotel Vandivort enough. I refer all of my friends that are getting married to Hotel Vandivort. The level of service cannot be matched and the venue itself is second to none.
The Hotel Vandivort saved our wedding day after our original wedding venue closed because of coronavirus. We had to plan a small wedding at the last minute and luckily rented the ...
Master Suite at the Hotel Vandivort! The hotel not only helped us with early check in so we could decorate but also brought in another fridge for our reception for drinks. The hotel manager surprised us with a complementary bottle of champagne as well! We were able to have 20 wedding guests safely in the Master Suite and everyone enjoyed their time at the intimate reception. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our wedding day!
Honestly loved having my wedding at the Vandivort; the service was exceptional. From start to finish someone stayed in contact with me and that was phenomenal. It was such a person...
