    We had our son's wedding reception at Kemper Center and could not have been more pleased. Katrina was great to work with - she was friendly, informative and professional throughout the planning process. The venue provided plenty of room for our guests, with access to a full kitchen, and was very affordable. Everything ran smoothly on the day of the event, and we are really happy we chose Kemper Center for our special occasion.
