Walker's Bluff

oves to Southern Illinois. I reached out to Kelcey at Walker’s Bluff knowing she makes dreams a reality for her job—and boy I knew that she was the only one who could make this living nightmare of completely reworking or wedding in less than 2 months a dream. I was right. Since we were quarantined up in Chicago, Kelcey went above and beyond to show us the venue at the exact time of day we were to have the reception. It was exciting to work with Kelcey through all this because our wedding was the first during these strange times at Walker’s Bluff. She reworked our dreams yet again when the health department came out with new requirements for venues, and truly made sure the location, food, and esthetic was exactly what we wanted. This woman and her team works Miracles! Everyone was so pleased with the professionalism, safety, and care that Walker’s Bluff took for the wedding reception. It was the most wonderful dream that became a reality. Whether you have an intimate party of 32 or a huge celebration of 600, seriously consider working with Kelcey and the Walker’s Bluff team to make your wedding celebrations a reality. <3

and smooth the ceremony and reception was. The day of staff and coordinators were there to make sure the bride and groom had anything they needed and took care of absolutely everything! We will be reminiscing over our wedding for years to come!

with my fall/Halloween themed wedding thanks to Jonathan. Walker's Bluff did a great job and words can't really say how happy I am.

lable the day of the wedding to help ensure everything flowed smoothly . Jonathan the florist did a wonderful job woth our flowers and decor. We simply showed him a picture of what we liked and he took our vision and made it even more beautiful than we can imagine. We recieved a lot of compliments on the flavors of our cake made by the pastry chef at Walkers Bluff. We would definitely recommend walkers bluff to other bride and grooms. It is by far the prettiest venue in Southern Illinois.

dding planning process to tour the property and make some of the big decisions, and the on-site team helped us work out all of the other details. Kelcey stayed in constant contact with us via email/phone to ensure the planning process moved along smoothly and Stephanie was always there to answer questions. Stephanie even took the time to make us a video late one evening because we couldn't remember exactly what one area of our reception venue looked like. The whole Walker's Bluff team made sure our special day was stress free and helped us make sure every detail was perfect!

ur ceremony look like a whimsical fairytale. The tasting room for the reception was perfect too. The food for our reception was absolutely delicious. We had a tasting with the chef prior to the wedding & he did a great job of preparing everything we wanted for the reception. Get married at Walker's bluff if you want a gorgeous venue that's stress free. It was so nice not having to worry about outside vendors. They do it all for you & they are good at what they do.

he most romantic moment I had ever walked into. There was a few small bumps in the road, but in the staff worked together to remedy most of the issues.

so relaxed the day of and went above and beyond to accommodate my wishes. I could not have asked for a better wedding day!

d a question or request during the planning process, which says a lot because I know she is probably a very busy person! The day went off without a hitch- the set up crew, Cathie and Kelcey followed all my requests in regard to decor. Many guests loved the venue- the tasting room, wine cave, and outdoor patio. Many people said it was the best wedding they had ever attended! We are so happy we chose Walker's as our reception venue as they were very easy to work with and always great about ensuring our expectations were met. Excellent venue with professional, very accommodating staff. We wouldn't change a thing!

all of my questions quickly and helping me plan. They took care of literally every detail. The day before my wedding I dropped off a bin of decorations and supplies and they completely handled all set up and take down without needing direction or guidance. They truly can create a gorgeous wedding and they think of everything. The food was exceptional. We had a complimentary tasting beforehand and they were so accommodating and ensured that we really got exactly what we wanted. Our cake was gorgeous and looked exactly like the picture we gave. The day of the wedding Stephanie took charge and allowed me to truly enjoy my day with my family. She handled all issues without assistance from me or my bridal party and kept us on track. She took gorgeous pictures and the Bridal Suite is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been in. During the reception, Stephanie coordinated with the DJ and made the evening go so smoothly, and also provided guidance to my photographer who at times was less than professional. My bridal party was running a bit late to head to the ceremony so Stephanie sent us off in the limo and she packed all of our things from the bridal suite and cleaned and then packed all of our cars with our belongings while my family and I enjoyed the reception. I honestly could not have had a more beautiful wedding or a more positive experience with this venue. I recommend it for any occasion. When I called to inquire about their wedding package Kelcey called me back almost immediately and it was so nice to have her guide me through this process, she is an EXCEPTIONAL and very professional event planner. They truly know what they are doing. I will also say that our final bill was not a penny over the quoted price and they provided a few things I forgot like the cake cutting tools for me at no charge. They were warm and accommodating to all of my guests, even ones who were maybe a bit rowdy towards the end of the night. Overall they made me feel welcome and thankful for my business and I feel like I got an amazing value for my cost. They will make you feel like family at WB, go book your wedding there right now!!!
