40 Year Reunion: Mary & Jack

Congratulations to Mary and Jack Schumacher, our anniversary contest winners for the month of March! Their wedding reception was held in the Riverboat Lounge/River Room on March 15th, 1975.  They recently celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary by returning to Hotel Julien Dubuque for a private dinner with their wedding party.  Mary wrote:

“On this past Saturday night, March 14th, we celebrated our 40th anniversary at Caroline’s private dining room with 18 members of our wedding party from March 15, 1975. Our reception was in the River Room and Riverboat lounge on March 15, 1975. We decided it would be great to celebrate at Hotel Julien not just for sentimental reasons, but also because it is so beautifully renovated and is known to have great food! We were not disappointed! Our server, Megan, was excellent and so sweet and attentive to any of our requests! We appreciate your great service and hope to be back soon!”

In celebration of our 100th anniversary, we are looking back at the significant events that have taken place at Hotel Julien Dubuque throughout history. If you were married at the hotel (pre or post-renovation), we would love to hear your story!  Learn more about our “Celebrating Ours, Celebrating Yours” contest and how you can enter here.
