Testimonials
We pride ourselves at providing exceptional and memorable service. Below are comments from recent events held at Hotel Julien Dubuque. We’re positive you’ll experience the very same throughout your planning process and on the day of your special event.
“I’ve been working with the Hotel Julien for the past 6 years with the Julien Dubuque International Film Festival (JDIFF) as the Executive Director. If there was a rating of 1 – 100, I’d give them 300! The staff is amazing, communicative and willing to do anything to make all our events successful. Not only is the hotel our JDIFF headquarters during the week long festival, but also hosts many of our yearly events, as well as our fundraising event in February. I can always count on the Hotel Julien to meet all our needs and even go that extra mile to make things even better. Down to the General Manager allowing his staff to wear the JDIFF souvenir t-shirts during the festival week in support of the event. Please consider using the Hotel Julien for events, fundraisers, weddings or for just a place to get away. You will NOT be disappointed”. – Susan Gorrell, Executive Director of the Julien Dubuque International Film Festival.

“The Fountain of Youth chose the Hotel Julien as the venue for our Transforming the Future event, which is our largest fundraiser held annually. The Hotel Julien is an excellent choice for anyone considering hosting an event. The event manager is always prompt and attentive. The entire team managed our event with the utmost professionalism and totally exceeded our expectations. From the planning, the décor of the room and culinary excellence, it was all beyond exceptional. Our board of directors was very impressed and we received an abundance of compliments from our attendees through out the evening. We are thankful to have worked with the Hotel Julien and plan to continue our relationship for years to come.” – Kim Budde
“Everything for our morning meeting was perfect! Josh was so helpful in helping us get set up with our tech and the rest of the staff was wonderful as always. There is a reason we keep coming back and that is because everything is so flawless each and every time. Look forward to continuing to work together in 2024!” – Jennifer Nevers
