My new husband and I would like to thank the Ramada Galena for everything they did for our special day. It was really a fun filled weekend and everyone was a great help. We want to give a special thanks to Nicole White our wedding coordinator at the Ramada Galena. Without her we never would have had such an amazing event. Henry and his wonderful wife also get a thumbs up and Kevin helped out tremendously. If I had to do it all again I wouldn't change a thing. It was truely the greatest weekend of our lives and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Working with the staff and management at the Ramada Galena was such a pleasure! Everything that we needed or requested was taken care of. We have received so many compliments from guests from our wedding of people satisfied with the hotel accomodations and service. Thank you so much to everyone who was a part of our wedding planning and who made our wedding so memorable at the Ramada Galena!!!

We loved having our wedding ceremony, reception, and hotel accommodations all in one place. We even did hair and make-up on site which made the day go really smooth!

We planned our wedding in literally two weeks and the final product seemed like it had planned over a years time.. It was beautiful. I communicated mainly via email and always got a response within the day. My family could not say enough about how smoothly every thing worked out. We loved it!!

Stephanie as well as the rest of the staff at the Ramada, Galena were the absolute best!!! They were extremely helpful in anything that I may have needed. They were also extremely flexible with any and all of my needs. I am a chef and my mom is a florist, so we are in the business, and anything that we wanted to do, they were more than happy to allow! The hotel has a spa on site, which was very convenient. Our wedding at the Ramada, Galena was absolutely wonderful and we recommend them for any major social gathering!

The Ramada Hotel and it's staff provided the most exceptional, professional and friendly service. I would not only highly recommend future bride's to consider the Ramada but I would whole-heartedly encourage it. Stephanie Heine exemplifies all that one would hope to have in a wedding coordinator. Her attentiveness and enthusiam was a gift in itself.

Excellent service from the staff at the Ramada. Very receptive and flexible to our needs. The back courtyard and pond were a beautiful backdrop for our ceremony.

Originally, we had some difficulties with Ramada because I worked with so many different people on the wedding who were moving on to other employment opportunities. I think I talked to 5 different wedding event managers over the course of a year. So, it became a real challenge for the team that finally helped us through the end to make up for so much lost time when they were experiencing those growing pains. However, I was very impressed with Liz and her dedication to making sure that no matter who had helped me before, she was going to give us the wedding we wanted. She trusted us when we explained verbal agreements we'd had with her predecessors and really went out of her way to assure us a quality reception with quality service. Much of the happiness of the groom and I and our guests at our reception is owed to Liz and her associates. If she can coordinate your event, have your reception at Ramada Galena; you won't be dissappointed.

This is an excellent place to have a wedding. The location is gorgeous and the staff is very helpful. It is also great if you want your order of events to be timed perfectly. It is fantastic.

We had both our ceremony and reception at the Ramada, and were very satisfied all around. We received lots of comments about how beautiful everything was, and the Ramada was very accommodating. Nicole, the wedding coordinator, was great. She was at the venue the entire day, and we had a last-minute issue with our florist that she got resolved immediately. I would definitely recommend the Ramada to anyone looking to get married in the Galena area.

Kalmes Catering, St. Donatus, Iowa, is by far the best value for the dollar for catering. Our daughter's wedding was held at the Ramada Inn, Galena, IL. We had booked a different caterer for the event but they were "pulled" one month before the wedding by the hotel management. In their place we hired Kalmes Catering from St. Donatus, and were so very happy we did. The combination Prime Rib and Broasted Chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, and a variety of salads that Kalmes' provided has been met with rave reviews from numerous guests. We could not have received better food or service than was provided by this wholesome, country caterer. They are the only caterer who we will use in the future. Their dinner far surpassed our expectations! Jim and Nancy Koester

This was a second wedding for both of us. We wanted it to be relaxed and fun for all and it was. I didnt let anything stress me out. If that is your attitude going into your wedding this is the perfect place to have it. It is very pretty and good accomodations. If on the other hand you are one of those people who thinks everythiing has to be perfect, I dont think this would make you happy. Not everything went as planned, but for us that was part of the charm. Overall a nice place to have a wedding.

We ended up finding an alternate location ten days before the wedding. I had been through two different banquet managers during the planning process and they were also working on their third or fourth caterer. Ten days before the wedding I still didn't have a contract or caterer for our wedding. High employee turn over. Front desk didn't seem to know what they were doing with regards to reservations. The location is beautiful (especially for an outdoor ceremony); but get ready for a small town approach to business. The current banquet manager seems very good, but management in general seems in need of much help. On the plus side, catering was pretty cheap (If the hotel happens to have one for the wedding)...but everything else was separate and not included. Rooms were very pretty with a bed and breakfast type feel.

Had I known what I was getting into, I would NOT have chosen Ramada for the site of my wedding. I can't count the many things that went wrong, including seeing beetles crawling all over the floor of our room. Not the way to spend your wedding night! The management at this hotel is 100% of the problem, and they take away your catered food after your guests only have a chance to go through the line ONCE! Perhaps if I had 150+ guests at my wedding I would have been treated a little better. Please look elsewhere.
