Upper East Reviews

My husband and I can't rave enough about Upper East and the exceptional experience they provided for our wedding! From the moment we stepped foot into this enchanting venue, we were captivated by its timeless charm and light and airy atmosphere.

Katie, our coordinator, was an absolute gem! Her attention to detail and genuine passion for making our day perfect was evident in every aspect of the planning process. She went above and beyond to ensure that every element, from helping with decor and floral set up to the time she directed us down the aisle, was executed flawlessly.

The team at Upper East truly knows how to create a magical atmosphere. The picturesque setting provided the most breathtaking backdrop for our special day, leaving our guests in awe. The seamless flow of the event, thanks to Katie's expert coordination, allowed us to relax and savor every moment.

The catering was exquisite, and the staff were attentive and professional. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the delicious cuisine and impeccable service. The Spring tasting event made it so effortlessly easy to try what our guest experienced. Both my husband and I come from large Italian families so food concern was a big part of our wedding and they did not fail!!

Choosing Upper East and having Katie as our coordinator was the best decision we made for our wedding. They turned our dreams into reality, and we will cherish the memories forever. If you're searching for a venue that exudes sophistication and a coordinator who is dedicated to making your day unforgettable, look no further than Upper East!

We are so thankful to Upper East for making our wedding the best day ever! From how friendly our bartenders were, to how helpful our wedding coordinator was, to how delicious the food was, they put on a truly spectacular event. The venue alone is beautiful but the staff really made it a magical day. I am so lucky to have chosen this venue, you will not be disappointed!!!

I cannot recommend Upper East enough! The venue is so naturally beautiful and with all the decorations it was perfect. Also, the Upper East team is phenomenal, the food was delicious, and Hanni and her team made the day flow so smoothly. Everything was exactly as I’d imagined and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. It was truly a wonderful experience!

Choosing Upper East for our wedding venue was the best decision that we made throughout the whole wedding planning process. We got married here in July and I can’t recommend it enough. Great location, beautiful inside, amazing food and an incredible team of people working there. From the very beginning, the team went above and beyond to make sure that our day was perfect. They worked with us to give us a dream wedding for the budget that we could manage, and they were open to new ideas, i.e., a big group picture outside the venue during the room flip and a welcome drink for escort cards. Everyone was kind, helpful, and professional. Our guests told us over and over that the food was amazing and that the waitstaff and bar tenders were incredible. Thank you to the Upper East Team! We would get married there again tomorrow if we could!! 10/10

We do not know if we can ever accurately describe how amazing the Upper East and Culinary Infusions were for our wedding reception, but we will try.
To make a long story short, we had booked our wedding reception for October 3rd of 2020 at another venue in the city of Kenosha. Then, in mid July of 2020 we were notified that said venue was going to be enacting their OWN extra Covid restrictions through the end of the year that made what was planned to be a celebration into a glorified, over priced dinner with no music or dancing. We were absolutely devastated, this was supposed to be the most perfect day of our lives and the rug was ripped out from under us. The day that we had been planning for over a year was gone in a matter of minutes. While we were scrambling to attempt to salvage our day we just happened to stumble upon the Upper East (they were still in their renovation phase and not open yet). We spoke with Hanni and she confirmed that they were still available for our date and held it for us until we could secure a refund from our first venue. Now, in August we were tasked with replanning our entire reception with a new venue.
Hanni and her staff went well above and beyond every single step of the way. As we were planning from 4 hours away, she met with our families to show them around the venue and was extremely responsive in all of our communications about planning. She was able to move things around to allow us to schedule meetings, visits, and tastings around trips into town. With Hanni at the helm we felt confident that our day would be made perfect. We received nothing but compliments about everything from the venue itself to the amazing food. What they did in the renovation made the venue absolutely stunning. Our reception went more smoothly than we had prepared for after all the struggles. Our appetizers were; The Quesadilla, Tomato Bruschetta, and The Meatballs all were perfect and I’m pretty sure our guests were fighting over the meatballs. We chose the Beef Tenderloin and Honey Garlic Chicken with the mascarpone mashed potatoes for dinner. Both were cooked to perfection! The homemade pizzas were a HUGE hit at the end of the night! If they sold their pizzas I would order them some night for dinner! Had the Upper East been open when we were initially booking our reception this would have been our first choice. If you are looking for a venue to host your day to perfection look no further than the Upper East.
The biggest compliment that I think we received at the end of the night was; that even with all of the social distancing guidelines and mask requirements put into place, our wedding reception still felt like a reception and celebration as opposed to a glorified dinner! You can feel comfortable that Hanni and her staff will do everything to make it the most memorable day of your life!
