    10/10 Wedding Experience at the Walper

    We loved our wedding here and could not have hoped for a better experience. The space at the Walper is beautiful and the staff was fantastic. In particular, our wedding coordinator (Caely) and hotel staff went above and beyond for us and we felt like VIP's during our 2-night stay (night before and night of wedding). On our wedding night, we had our cocktail hour in the Lokal Bar, then opened the Oak Lounge and Oak Room for dinner, speeches, and mingling. We did our first dance in the Oak Room. We did not have a plated dinner but rather had food served in the Barrister's Lounge connected to the Oak Room. We wanted a "downtown" wedding that wasn't too high maintenance and this delivered that, and then some. We had 70 guests and thought the pricing was very reasonable considering the quality of the venue, service, and the food.

    Most beautiful venue with AMAZING staff!

    All our wedding guests had so many comments to share with us about our venue whether they were commenting about how amazing the hotel/venue was or raving about the food (especially the short rib)! They served lots of appetizers during cocktail hour, the staff were incredibly helpful and kind (from serving, to answering questions, to cleaning up at night). It made me feel so happy hearing all the guests say these things throughout the night.

    12/10 venue coordinator. She did such an incredible job bringing our wedding vision to life! Always listening in great detail, always on the same page, always pushing to make sure we got everything we asked for.

    Walper Hotel's reply:

    Thank you so very kindly for your review, Katarina! I had such a fantastic time planning with you both, you were such a pleasure to get to know over the course of our wedding planning journey. Our staff loved ringing in the new year in style with you two.
    We hope that you both find nothing but happiness, love, and joy in your future. Cheers to the Robertson's!

    Beautiful Venue

    The venue was beautiful and the food was delicious. We unfortunately went through several wedding coordinators employed by the Walper in the 18 months between signing and our wedding, which meant that information was often not passed along. Our final coordinator joined just a few weeks before our wedding, but Caely was absolutely fantastic and went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. We were able to customize the wedding package to meet our needs.

    Walper Hotel's reply:

    Thank you so very much for your review, Anna!
    I truly enjoyed getting to know both of you in the few weeks before your big day, and thank you for putting your trust in us to make your wedding vision a reality.
    We were so happy that we were able to host you, and be a part of your special day! The Walper Hotel still wishes you both warmth, joy, and comfort in the years to come.

    Beautiful venue, difficulties in the coordination/planning process.

    My husband and I got married this past June at the Walper and the venue was gorgeous and the food and drinks were incredible. Our actual wedding day was beautiful thanks to a lot of the staff at the hotel, however, the planning process with the hotel was a bit chaotic.

    Throughout the duration of planning, we were tossed between 3 different venue coordinators and we were constantly having to nudge them for pricing/packages/updated packages/answers to basic questions. If you’re planning on having your wedding at the Walper, we HIGHLY recommend you hire an external day-of coordinator/planner to help minimize the stress around this!

    We heard great things about the food at the Walper and everything we heard rang true. The food we had served at our wedding was some of the best wedding food we, and a lot of our guests had. Tons of compliments from our family and friends! The service throughout dinner was great - the Walper staff were incredibly attentive to our guest’s needs and moved quickly. We also had signature cocktails as part of our wedding package and that + the standard bar were great!

    We also made use of the prep suite which was really helpful on the morning of our wedding. It’s a new suite located steps to the grand ballroom, and it’s open and bright - perfect for getting ready.

    On the day of our wedding, we booked the entire second floor so that our guests would have room to spread out and not be forced to be in the ballroom the entire day. The Oak Room, however, was set up for some sort of meeting and closed off to us— our day-of coordinator had to sort this out with the venue — the rest of the second floor was enough to accommodate our 85 person wedding, but it would’ve been nice to have access to every room we paid for.

    We only booked our DJ for a set amount of time and so we planned on using the hotel’s sound system for the pre-dinner intros/first dance/etc. because we were told that there was a decent sound system. We highly recommend using either your own speakers or having your DJ for the entire day. The sound system that we had (not sure if it has been updated since) was very difficult to work with. The microphone provided was horrible, and the volume on the in-house speakers in the ballroom was hard to manage (everything was really quiet).

    We also were told that someone would freshen up the room that we booked during the day of our wedding to give it a quick refresh between the groomsmen getting ready there and post-wedding. That didn’t happen, which isn’t that big of a deal, but just odd that it didn’t end up happening.

    All in all, we had an amazing time at the Walper, and will definitely be back for weekend visits when we’re in the area. The problems we ran into with the hotel were more frustrating than anything - nothing too bad that we couldn’t work around. The space is beautiful and required minimal decor, the food is amazing, and the drinks were great. Most of the staff are really friendly and took the time to answer any questions we had on the day of and made sure we enjoyed our weekend.

    Gorgeous wedding!

    Our wedding at the Walper was nothing short of incredible! We received compliments from our guests all night about how gorgeous the hotel and event spaces were. Due to COVID, we were delayed from our original date of January 2022 to November 2022. The Walper made this stressful delay so easy and seamlessly transitioned our details to the new date. We started out working with Andrea (who was fabulous), then Katie in the months leading up to the event. Katie was incredibly accommodating, detail-oriented, and friendly. The event and banquet staff were diligent and helpful, and the food was incredible! Even better than our tasting. I also wanted to mention how easy and fun it was to have most of our guests staying in the hotel itself - it’s so great to all be in one space, and everyone loved their unique rooms. Thank you so much to the whole Walper team for a phenomenal day!

    Perfect Venue For The Best Day Of My Life

    This was the first Venue we toured and I was sold right away. No other Venue compared to the beauty, pricing, or the inclusiveness of the staff. While the 2 main coordinators we worked with are no longer working here, our wedding day was made extra special because of all the staff as a team. They worked hard to give us everything we wanted while trying to stay as close to our budget as possible. They were always willing to tweak things and offer us the best deals they could.

    It was beautiful but details got missed

    Not the smoothest day but good over all. Just be sure to check everything twice on the time line and final menu. Lovely people and event staff

    Hair stylist

    I love working at the Walper. The team is attentive, kind and professional. As a hair stylist, I want to see the bridal party feel prepared, at ease and most importantly, having fun! This is what the Walper provides.

    Modern, clean, excellent staff

    The staff was so helpful when they we're walking us through the venue and explained the packages well. The venue is gorgeous, so full of history and they've really kept to the vintage theme while adding modern elements. I would absolutely recommend!
