    Wedding of my dreams

    Everything was truly perfect. My wife and I are so glad we chose Kilkarney Hills for our wedding day. The venue itself is just naturally gorgeous and the facilities are top notch and well maintained. The staff was friendly and very professional. They did everything exactly how we asked and then some. Jeni, the event coordinator was very quick to respond anytime I had a question or request. And Jen, the executive chef is cranking out some delicious food. We are still getting rave reviews from guests telling us how it was one of the best weddings they have been to. You cannot beat the value either, much more affordable then other venues in the region for better quality. I could not recommend it enough.

    Overall a dream venue and staff!

    The venue was gorgeous and Jeni was amazing. Everything that we could have ever needed from her she was there to help us, we adored her! The food was delicious and we are still getting compliments about it. It is a really unique and picturesque location, we couldn't have been happier! I would love to relive that day over again and there is not a thing I would change about the venue or the staff! A huge thank you to the Kilkarney staff and of course Jeni!

    Wonderful experience!

    Our wedding at Kilkarney Hills Golf Course was everything we hoped for and more! There is a beautiful ceremony site with suites for the wedding party to get ready in. The reception hall is pretty and the service was wonderful. All the staff are very easy to work with and are super accommodating! The packages they have to choose from help simplify the planning process and they walked through every detail of our wedding with us to make sure we had the perfect day!

    Kilkarney Hills Golf Course & Banquet Facility's reply:

    LOVE THIS! Thank you, Sarah! Looking forward to seeing more beautiful photos for your special day!!

    Best Venue Ever!

    SO Incredibly glad we chose Kilkarney for our venue, if I could give more stars I 1000000% would. The ceremony area is so well thought out (A lot of the other golf courses we toured, the ceremony area just seemed to be slapped on the course or just not as thought out) and gorgeous with the Willow tree behind the gazebo, being surrounded by greenery and the white fence, you dont feel like you are at a golf course. The food is INCREDIBLE!!!!! I had so many compliments on the food for both the grooms dinner (OMG Best mac & Cheese) and the wedding dinner (the sliced beef is not just your standard run-of-the-mill wedding beef, it falls off your fork its so tender!), we also did late night nachos which were a big hit. My parents are vegan and it always makes me nervous at restaurants that they get forgotten or just get a blah meal slapped together, but again, Kilkarney nailed it, both Grooms dinner and wedding night they had well thought out, delicious meals that they absolutely loved! The bridal suite is SO worth it! Its the cutest thing and has so much natural light and our hair stylist even mentioned that she was so thankful for the amount of counter space and amount of plug ins! Mimosas, coffee and breakfast and lunch are all included in bridal suite and it made the morning getting ready so easy and seamless! Jeni (The venue coordinator) was SOOO great to work with, great communication and organization, answered my many questions throughout the year and checked in during the wedding day also. She has a Facebook page for Kilkarney couples once you sign on so you can ask other Kilkarney couples questions which was really handy! The staff was also great, they would bring pitchers of beer & bottles of wine to the head table during dinner. I could go on and on about this venue, the trees lining the driveway are a great picture spot, the reception area is nice and open, the bar is convenient and big. Incredibly thankful Kilkarney was the venue for our day that will be in our memories forever!!

    Amazing venue!

    Not only is this a gorgeous venue tucked back in a small town, but the food and service was impeccable! Brought the head table beverages which was great to not have to get off the riser, everyone was so nice and the family style salads while everyone waited for the buffet line was a nice touch (which the buffet line was very fast!)

    Fedderly Wedding 2022

    I highly recommend Kilkarney Hills Golf Course in River Falls, WI. This venue is absolutely stunning. It is so close to town and multiple hotels available. The team at Kilkarney is amazing!! Jeni was very detail orientated and the staff during the reception was perfect. They were very attentive to my husband and I at the head table.

    Perfection

    My husband and I recently got married at Kilkarney Hills Golf Course. We did a very small (30 guests), intimate wedding and this venue was literally the perfect spot. Not only was it reasonable, it was beautiful & perfect in every way, Jeni was more than accommodating and helpful and our guests raved about the food that was served!

    Thank you, Natalie! Your wedding was so perfect in so many ways! Thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your speical day!

    Kilkarney Hills

    Kilkarney Hills was such a great venue to work with! Jeni was so accommodating and easy to work with through many different challenges (all due to Covid-19), we couldn't have asked for a better venue!!

    Kilkarney Hills Golf Course Review

    Kilkarney was absolutely beautiful! Communication with Jeni was fantastic. She was always available when I needed to reach out to her and she made sure everything was in order for our special day. We were also planning the wedding from California, so huge shout out to her for working with our crazy schedule when we took the trip to Wisconsin. The suites were super cute and made the day super fun getting ready with all my girls. I also loved that their website had requested vendors for DJs and photographers. It made booking other vendors super easy.

    Great Venue!

    We had our wedding reception here recently and it was wonderful! Jeni was wonderful to work with leading up to and the day of! She answered all our questions and helped with personalizing the day to us. Their food is AMAZING, we did the specialty BBQ buffet. (Unrelated to the wedding, we also LOVE their fish fry.) The banquet hall is gorgeous and the grounds have many great picture opportunities. Very happy with our experience. The guys also enjoyed their round of golf.

    The venue is beautiful and the staff is absolutely amazing. Planning a wedding is hard enough, but planning a wedding during a pandemic is a new level of crazy and uncertainty. But Jeni and the staff at Killarney made our day better than we could have ever imagined.

    Perfect experience, Perfect scenery

    We couldn't be happier with a choice of a venue for our wedding. The ceremony gazebo was gorgeous, the food during the reception was amazing, and the service was perfectly timed. Thank you Jenny for helping us through the process the entire time and making our wedding day great. Definitely recommend this place!

    The Perfect Day

    We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day, and Kilkarney Hills was a huge part of that. The venue is gorgeous. We had a total of ~150 guests and used the ceremony site, the bridal suite, and the reception hall. The bridal suite was 100% worth the extra cost - so cute and I loved that breakfast and lunch was provided. It made it so much easier to be able to get ready at the venue and not have to drive all over all day.

    The ceremony site is beautiful, and the flowers around the gazebo were blooming and are going to look amazing in our photos.

    The reception hall is the perfect set-up for a wedding, and our guests especially loved that they could go out onto the deck and into the fire pit area.

    Jeni was great to work with, and very responsive to all of our questions. We mostly communicated via email, and had a Zoom meeting due to COVID. We had lots of extra questions due to COVID, and she answered all of them and made us feel super comfortable. It all went exactly as we had talked about.

    I definitely recommend this venue for anyone looking to get married a little outside of the Cities but still close enough for an easy drive. About half our guests stayed in nearby hotels, while the rest were able to easily drive home.

    Kilkarney Hills Golf Course & Banquet Facility's reply:

    Yay!! So glad everything was so perfect!!!

    Thank you SO much Ana for the raving review! Wow. Your kind words and thorough details will definitely help future couples understand and envision what they're getting when they're looking at our venue. We can't thank you enough for your extra time to leave such a wonderful review and choosing Kilkarney Hills for one of the biggest days of your life. Thank you again and we hope to see you guys out again at the course :)

    Kilkarney Hills Golf Course

    We had our wedding reception at Kilkarney Hills Golf Course. Jeni, the director, was very accommodating due to the fact we had to move our wedding date due to Covid-19. She made the transition as smooth as possible. The whole staff was very professional as well. We loved the decorations and the scenery. Having a outside porch was great for our guests as well. The food and delivery was excellent. All and all we could not have been happier with our choice of choosing Killkarney Hills Golf Course. Shamus & Monika

    Gorgeous venue

    My wife and I recently got married at Kilkarney golf course. Nothing was less than spectacular, from the beautiful sunset filled view, to the cozy “homelike” feel of the reception. The bridal suites were proper, clean and routinely checked upon by the wonderful staff. Jeni was wonderful, she helped us every step of the way and was always there if we had any questions. The bathrooms were clean and stocked. The food was very well prepared and was served on time for all our guests and the bartenders never let your glass go empty. We cannot say enough wonderful things about the whole experience as it really did put the icing on the cake. Please, do yourself a favor and check this venue you out. You WILL NOT regret it.

    Unforgettable!

    My husband and I got married at the beginning of this month at Kilkarney Hills Golf Course. The experience we had was amazing. We worked with Jeni throughout the year and she was nothing short of precessional 100% of the time. A dream to work with. We had found other venues that we thought we loved before we found Kilkarney Hills and once we saw the atmosphere along with the ceremony site and the views of the golf course we were sold. It blew us away. I would recommend Kilkarney Hills to anyone. Jeni along with the facility definitely helped to make our day an unforgettable one. Loved it!

    Top Notch Venue

    Absolutely stunning venue. Their event coordinator was so helpful along the way and truly cared about making our special day everything we dreamed it to be. The value of this venue is unbelievable. My mom and I truly didn't know what the catch was when we reviewed pricing... so we asked and Jeni said "nothing!". They had everything included in the price quote including taxes and gratuity, so there were no surprises! Another great benefit was that she helped us by answering any and all questions in an extremely timely manner. My husband and I are so thankful and happy that we had the opportunity to make Kilkarney our wedding venue. We are so excited to spend more and more time there in the coming years when golfing.

    Thank you so much, Alexys!!! I'm so happy to see everything was what you dreamed of it to be! We're so honored to have been a part of your memory. You guys were all so wonderful. Can't wait to see what your future holds! See you out at the course ;)

    Perfect experience

    We had our wedding ceremony and reception and Kilkarney and we loved every second of it! The wedding coordinator, Jeni, worked with us from day one on making sure our day was just the way we wanted it to be! We really enjoyed the food tasting night we had to make sure we chose the right meal for our big day! We also appreciated all the vendor suggestions they gave us to help plan. On the day of, the staff was wonderful. They were very efficient and helpful! The decorating done for the ceremony and reception was just the way we’d hope it would be! We got many compliments on how beautiful the ceremony and reception space was and how the food was very yummy! My husband and I highly recommend Kilkarney!!

    Highly Recommended

    We had our wedding and reception here. It was a beautiful venue and the food was amazing. We had about 210 guests and there was plenty of room to spare. The price was very reasonable compared to other places around the area.
