The night was one I will never forget

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Mary with Hotel Kirkwood made my wedding dreams come true. She listened to every idea I had and made it come alive. One of the main things that sold us on HK (besides the GORGEOUS) venue, was that they set up and tore down everything for us. I was stress free knowing everything was in Mary's hands. The day before the wedding we brought her all of our decorations, some in which we had no idea where it would look best or would even work. I remember on the wedding night looking around and my eyes catching those little items that she made look even more perfect than I could have ever imagined. The food was amazing, the service was prompt, and the night was one I will never forget thanks to Hotel Kirkwood.

We are so happy with the way everything turned out

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

We had our wedding reception at Kirkwood and they really are top notch. The hospitality was unlike anything I have ever experienced-it felt like a five star hotel. The staff was accommodating to our needs as well as all of our guest. Holly was absolutely wonderful to work with and was very professional through the whole process making it easier to plan a wedding. The food was phenomenal and so was the cake which was all prepared by their culinary staff. We are so happy with the way everything turned and would recommend Kirkwood to anyone either for their wedding our just to stay the night!

Holly Webster and the staff at the Kirkwood Hotel were absolutely the best to work with!!! We were expertly guided through all the planning details, and throughout the wedding day itself. It was such a worry free/hassle free experience, as all details were taken care of and we could just enjoy the day! We didn’t have to stress about setting up or tearing down, unlike so many other venues. We were also told by numerous guests that the food served was the best wedding food they had ever had! Without hesitation, I highly recommend the Kirkwood Hotel for your wedding! We are so thankful for their expertise and efficiency. If you choose them, I know you will feel the same!
