Bemis Conference Center

Perfect truly does not even begin to describe my wedding and the wedding planning process with the St. Norbert College event staff.

I began planning my June 2020 wedding in February of 2019 and had a phenomenal experience right from the start. When COVID hit, they went above and beyond with communicating and keeping me up to date on policy changes. Ultimately, we decided to postpone our wedding until June 2021. Changing our date was positively seamless and painless - Pam was so on top of things.

Once January 2021 rolled around and we started planning again, Pam was incredibly responsive to emails and met with us several times to measure the room, see set ups, etc.... They accommodated our set up and menu requests without even batting an eye. Any question that was asked, the answer was "we can definitely do that!" or "not a problem" which are music to any bride's ears. We were able to spread out and have our dance in a separate space from the dinner which was perfect for our guests who didn't want to listen to loud music all night. We also were able to utilize the brick patio, bistro tables, and take photos in the gorgeous Shakespeare Garden just steps away from the dining room.

The week of, we got to meet with Pam and our day-of coordinators which was wonderful! We knew who to seek out on the day of if we needed anything. We were able to get into the spaces to decorate the day before which alleviated a lot of stress and anxiety. Pam had coordinated with all of our vendors to ensure everyone knew where and when to set up which was another headache I didn't have to worry about!

On the day of, everything went off without a hitch - our last minute dietary needs were handled flawlessly, the setup was perfect, and the staff were so attentive to our guests!! At any given time, I could see at least 2 Bemis staff members who were there to assist me and my guests. The bartenders were courteous and friendly and did not over serve, which we really appreciated. All night long, people were asking "who catered this?!" and all I could do was smile and say "St. Norbert!" I heard nothing but compliments and positive comments about the facility and the staff. They helped us with set up, with take down, and everything in between.

I truly cannot thank Pam, Haley, Jenny, and Andrea enough. Every single detail was absolutely perfect and they went miles and miles above and beyond, exceeding any and all of my expectations.
