Overall, we had a really beautiful wedding at The Walper Hotel. We had a few hiccups in the overall execution of the day as there was a second wedding happening the same night which created a few challenges; our wedding planner also changed right at the end of our wedding planning which may have contributed to a few misses from the time we booked to the big day. Ultimately we were pleased with the quality of the food and were very happy with the extras included in the winter wedding package. We also loved that we were able to o everything in one location, including having many photo ops with all of the beautiful spots in and around the hotel.

A Big WOW for the Walper
I booked my wedding at a venue in Downtown Kitchener and booked my wedding hotel block at the Walper Hotel. The level of service that Chynna and the whole team at the Walper offered us totally blew me away. Despite the fact that we did not have a wedding booking at the Walper itself, we were treated like VIPs every step of the way. They allowed us to use an unused event room for a small rehearsal the night before, free of charge. And they set up a phenomenal "getting ready" suite for the bridal party, the likes of which my mobile hair and makeup artists had never seen before. It had more than enough space for all their stuff and for everyone to comfortably hang out there. As if that wasn't enough, Chynna also upgraded our suite, and let us take photos on site at the Walper on the day of, despite the fact that they had another, larger wedding ON SITE that very same day! They always treated our party as a priority. You would never know that we were their second, much smaller booking on that day. Honestly, the wedding was perfect and a big part of that was the generosity, flexibility and fabulous customer service offered to us by Chynna and the whole team at the Walper Hotel. If you are getting married in Kitchener, you must talk to them.

The Walper Hotel and their staff were so wonderful to work with from the very beginning!! They made sure no detail was missed and were very flexible to ensure our dreams became a reality. Leading up to wedding they were always very responsive, helpful, professional and flexible. Their team worked together like a well oiled machine making sure that no detail was missed and the entire day went smoothly. We also enjoyed our rehearsal dinner and post wedding Brunch at the Walper Hotel with our guests. People are still talking about the food! Everything was truly perfect! Thank you to The Walper Hotel and all of their staff for all of your hard work and for ensuring we had the most perfect Wedding experience!

Unique, customized and personal experience
After checking out a few venues around the Kitchener are, we chose The Walper and were glad we did from day one! Taylor and her team did an excellent job helping us through the planning process and we were blown away on how great of a job The Walper did the day of our wedding. From the private menu tasting, to the hours poured over all of the details, Taylor and the team at the Walper are nothing short of wedding miracle workers. We got tons of compliments from our family and friends about how cool and unique the venue was along with how great the food was! If you are looking for a wedding venue that delivers a very personal experience start to finish, has an amazing team working behind the scenes, and a menu that couldn’t disappoint even the most picky people, then I would highly recommend The Walper!
