What they've said about us
Thank you for the wonderful reviews. We hope to be able to host your next event!
“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!”

“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.”

“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!!”

“We could not recommend this venue more for a wedding! My husband and I had our reception here and it blew our expectations out of the water. Simply put, Kilkarney knows exactly how to host a wedding. They've been doing it a long time and they got it down to a T. We had a big wedding, ~300 guests, and we were so impressed with how well everything went. They go above and beyond. With that high of a guest count, we were worried about people getting through the buffet line at a fast rate and lines at the bar, etc. but our worries were unnecessary. The whole team works together so well and there was never a long line or long wait. They are so professional. Jeni, who we worked closely with, was so easy to reach and always helping us in any way she could to help make our wedding day special. We were so impressed and so were our guests!! We got many, many compliments on this venue and on the venue staff. It all ran so so smoothly. As the bride, I didn't have to lift a finger on the day of. They handled it all. Absolutely the best place to have a wedding. We wish we could do it all over again!!”
Emily 2022
“We loved having our wedding reception at Kilkarney Hills Golf Course! Jeni was amazing to work with and answered all of our questions clearly and quickly, which we really appreciated. The whole day ran smoothly thanks largely to Jeni knowing all of the details of the day. The bridal suite provided plenty of space for me and my bridesmaids to get ready in, and the space made for a very elegant backdrop for our getting-ready photos. The golf course itself is beautiful and the view from the banquet hall is breathtaking. Our guests enjoyed taking photos out on the deck overlooking the course! The most common feedback we received from our guests was how delicious the food was! We chose to serve the champagne chicken and sirloin steak, and people told us it was the best food that they have ever had at a wedding. And I couldn’t agree more!! From the scenery, to the staff, to the location, I would highly recommend this venue to any wedding couple!!!”

“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.”
Cienna 2021
“Jeni at Kilkarney is the absolute best! They were so accommodating for our september wedding. Even when we had to last minute have our ceremony changed, and wanted it set up in a different part of the garden, Jeni and her team made it all happen! Jeni is so easy to talk to and TRULY cares about her couples and their special day! It was a great value, the food was amazing, and it was so great to be able to relax and enjoy our day know everything was taken care of.”
Kayla 2021
“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 2021
“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.”
Stacey 2021
“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.”
Raelyn 2022
“The venue was absolutely beautiful. Everything is set up to help make the day go as smoothly as possible- from the morning preparations, to the dinner, to the dance floor! Jeni is amazing and helped the both of us immensely throughout our many reschedules. We started our original plans for 2020, and Jeni helped us transition to a new date with professionalism and flexibility. I would definitely recommend them for a beautiful venue and excellent assistance!”
Helena 2022
“Kilkarney Hills Golf Course was the perfect venue for our wedding! We had the bridal and grooms suites for getting ready before the wedding, which were great and very accessible for getting ready for the day. There were a lot of great photo opportunities and we had a lot of beautiful photos from the day! Jeni was a great help and made the day go smoothly. We had the turkey, baked California garlic chicken, and mashed potatoes for food and it was amazing! Everyone complimented how great the food was and how beautiful the venue was! Kilkarney Hills Golf Course was the greatest place we could of had our wedding and would highly recommend it to anyone planning on getting married!”
Josie 2021
“It was an absolute pleasure working with Kilkarney Hills when planning our wedding! We chose Kilkarney because of the beautiful space and the option to have the ceremony outdoors. When we were initially exploring venue options, Kilkarney’s wedding coordinator sent all of the information needed to decide if we wanted to tour it. We were very impressed right from the beginning! Additionally, we were given a large list of preferred vendors, such as photographers, decorators, and DJ’s. They were very helpful and organized. Our day was absolutely perfect and couldn’t have gone more smoothly!”
Allison 2021
“Kilkarney was a dream come true!! First off, Jeni was amazing to work with and made sure we had everything we wanted and more! She was so sweet and responded to all my emails right away even when I was asking questions every day it seemed. Kilkarney was BEAUTIFUL for our wedding! The outdoor ceremony space is beyond perfect especially with the gazebo! The reception hall is amazing! It’s huge and fits so many guests! The way they decorate it, allowed us not to have to decorate too much which was a lifesaver! The food was amazing especially the cheesecake! Everyone was so friendly and I could not recommend Kilkareny enough. They made this process so easy for us and we are so lucky we were able to book them for our wedding!”
Tara 2021
“Kilkarney was one of the best decisions we made for our day! Jeni was so great to work with and always gave us clear, helpful communication. She was so genuine and helpful through the whole process! The bridal suite is 100% worth the money and is beautiful. The outdoor ceremony spot is the best part of this venue. It needs very little, if any, decorating because of its natural beauty. The outdoor spaces in general around the whole area had so many amazing photo opportunities, especially for a fall wedding. We did the Italian buffet and we had so many compliments about how great our food was! This venue was not only affordable, but very much exceeded our expectations! I highly recommend having your wedding here!”
Anna 2021
“Kilkarney was the first and only venue me and my husband looked at, we were sold right away. Everything was so perfect, the location, the set up, and Jeni was beyond amazing at walking us through and answering questions and “selling” what this beautiful venue had to offer. We got married during a difficult time (COVID), so many questions would come up and Jeni would answer them right away with such professionalism and empathy. The Bridal Suite was one of the highlights of the day. It was a perfect way to get ready and bond with all your girls and take time to relax and have fun before the craziness of the day started. I cannot rave about this venue and Jeni enough. Jeni was there from start of the day until dinner was done- handling everything with grace that came her way (such as, my dress ripping down the back, she was there with safety pins helping pin me back into my dress). I would recommend this venue to anyone who is looking, not only for a place to get married, but any event in general. 100 out of 10 would recommend. Jeni Rocks!!”

“Kilkarney Hills was amazing to work and was a beautiful site for our wedding! Our wedding reception was originally set in St Paul MN but two weeks before our reception, new Covid restrictions caused our reception to be cancelled. We started looking at venues in WI due to the lesser restrictions. We saw pictures of Kilkarney Hills and reached out for more info. Jeni got back to us that same night and answered all our questions. we booked with them the next day and two days later we had a meeting scheduled to finalize all the details. Saying they are amazing is an understatement! We were able to set up the night before, had our grooms dinner there, and they provided delicious food, and covered all the beverages for both nights. Their Elite package was very reasonable priced and offered so many little perks that just added to the night. The grounds are beautiful and we were able to get all our photos taken there. It’s about 30 min from the Twin Cities and our guests didn’t feel like they were traveling far for it. We would highly recommend Kilkarney Hills, Jeni, and their staff. They were so easy to work with, flexible, and willing to change things to better our needs. We will definitely be back in the Spring for a round of golf and some good food!”
December 2020
“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 was absolutely wonderful. Working with Jeni was such a pleasure and she was always available for any questions we had. We purchased the Elite package and it was worth every penny and did not break the bank. Very affordable and got so many perks with it. The outdoor ceremony location is gorgeous. They accommodated people well with COVID by spreading out chairs. Inside at the reception they were able to do many sizes of tables to accommodate different family sizes. The Decor provided already with drapery and uplighting is gorgeous. Bar service and Food service was great. We got many compliments on the food. Dance floor was awesome and nice that everyone could see it from all tables, no matter where they were sitting. Thank you Kilkarney for the wonderful space and accommodations.”

Thank you Jenny for helping us through the process the entire time and making our wedding day great. Definitely recommend this place!”

“Kilkarney Hills Golf Course was a beautiful venue for our wedding! We toured so many venues and the moment we stepped into the banquet hall we KNEW this was the one! Jeni went above and beyond to ensure we were both taken care of leading up to and on our wedding day.”

“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!”

“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.”
