   “For the Love of Bubbles “ was a fantastic experience. Chef Chris provided a very informative and engaging presentation on champagne. We will definitely attend next time it’s offered! Cheers!

   The event began at 6:30 PM, but dessert wasn’t served until after 9 PM, which made the pacing feel unnecessarily long. There was also a clear disconnect between Lisa Peju from Peju Winery and the event staff. Lisa mentioned that guests could enjoy a second glass of wine, but when we inquired, the staff declined. Additionally, we were told by a Peju representative that individual bottles would be available for purchase after the event. However, the staff informed us that only full cases were being sold. This inconsistency was frustrating and confusing. While the wine itself was outstanding and reasonably priced, the service between courses was extremely slow. Members of our party mentioned that this seems to be typical for these events, and the quality of the food can be hit or miss. Given the overall experience, I would recommend Cooper’s Hawk in Peoria over Wigwam Litchfield’s for a more reliable and enjoyable evening.

   This was a Peju wine dinner. The Peju rep told us to ask for refills on the paired wines… Wigwam refused..said they hadn’t ordered enough wine to give seconds . There were 5 courses. Hors d’evores were not good. The next 2 courses were good then the final 2 courses were tough, gamey and inedible! Do not attend any Wigwam dining function…you will be disappointed!

   This has become our family tradition since our grand daughter arrived. This was our 4th annual the first being when she was just a few months old. We love our time with Santa and taking photos to remember each year. Santa was especially jolly this year! Food was very good and a wonderful selection. Service and price are 4 stars because this was the first year we had to look for our waiter when needing a refill on drinks. And with price it is high but all things are these days, and I am appreciative of the Wigwam giving us this wonderful tradition to create with our kids. Thank you!

   Service was very lacking this year and food quality was poor, and they turned our kids away from the craft table 30 minutes before the event was over. For $200, we had a meal with cheap food and then were essentially pushed out. We come every year, but this is out last. The only good thing was the omelette bar - the two guys running it were awesome. The rest of the staff never checked on us and flagging them down was impossible.

   We chose to eat out first Thanksgiving as it has become difficult for my mother in law to spend much time away from her residence. We chose Wigwam and it was an excellent choice. When we checked in, I explained to the hostess the mobility issues of my mother in law and we were accommodated. The food was excellent and the piano player was perfect. It was a great day for us.

   Excellent Thanksgiving buffet in convention room. Staff professional, food selection varied (the prime rib in particular was very good). Marked down since for what they charge ($90+ tip) tables should be cleaned a lot quicker and staff should have been all over us to make sure we got drinks, etc. Management did check on us and my daughter made it clear that the lack of staff wasn't acceptable, which I think they took to heart. We normally travel for Thanksgiving to family but due to other considerations and in the middle of a move (trucks showed up next day!) went this route. It worked quite well for our purposes.

   Hello, Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback. Overall, I was very disappointed in this experience. I brought my family here( visiting from Chicago) expecting at least a Wigwam Resort experience based on kudos from other friends who’ve been to this resort in the past. The venue itself was a bit of a surprise in that it felt like a conference gathering instead of a Thanksgiving dinner. I would hardly call this a ballroom. For the price, one would expect more of an effort in making the ambience more appealing. We were brought to our table and all it had was tablecloth with no decorations. Service was also a bit disappointing( not very many refills and no coffee offer, etc) and not very friendly and accommodating. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this venue to friends and family for future Thanksgivings. Respectfully, Roel

    The Thanksgiving buffet was wonderful. I wasn’t sure what to expect as buffet food is very hit or miss. This one was wonderful! The food was delicious and there was so much variety. The Wigwam gets it right. The ambience was great with a piano player for the music. The service was amazing as well. Very attentive and friendly. Another great experience at the Wigwam.
