The Rhapsody was the venue of our dreams which became a reality when we got married here in July 2022! We immediately fell in love with the beautiful garden ceremony area, the waterfall, flower wall for pictures, and gorgeous ballroom. We wanted to get married outside in a garden and this was perfect for us. Also, having the covered patio as a backup option if it rained was a relief! Having our getting-ready areas, ceremony, and reception all in the same location made it so easy for us and our guests. The fact that this is a family-owned business really made it special. We worked with Rita and Bryan (owner/mother and son) as well as Steph (day-of coordinator that they provided for us) and they were spectacular at helping us with whatever we needed. Bryan was also our DJ and we wouldn’t have wanted it any other way - love the way he mixes his music and the presence he brings! There is a Google Drive that they share with you that contains so much helpful information that we used as well. We got the centerpiece package from them where we got to design all the centerpieces and table colors and on the day of they set up AND took down all the tables - which took a load off of us and our family at the end of the night. Honestly, we will miss our meetings at the Rhapsody! We are so glad we chose The Rhapsody for our wedding and would highly recommend this venue!

My Wedding is here on July 29 2022!! I can not wait this Venue is beautiful inside and out! Rita and Bryan have been helpful and always available when we need them. Although we have chosen outside vendors to coordinate our ceremony and reception. They have still been so accommodating and so nice! Whorayshore and I can not wait for our Big Day! We knew from day one when we walked into The Rhapsody that this was where we wanted to get married. They made us feel so welcomed the moment we walked through the door and we saw our names in the lights. I highly recommend this venue to any bride looking for beautiful and affordable this is it and they have an outstanding package. Dang near everything is covered from tables to chairs, linens decor in your wedding colors. I fell in love with the bridal cottage OMG!! and a lot of in house accommodations and open vendor policy. I can go and on about the rhapsody. Go see for yourself you won't be disappointed I promise you. Thanks Rita and Bryan! Can't wait for my July 29 2022!! beautiful wedding day

The Rhapsody was a wonderful place to get married! It has several beautiful options when it comes to the location of the ceremony on the premises, you can get married at the pergola, under their patio, or indoors, so there are plenty of backup options in case weather is an issue. It almost was an issue on my wedding day, as that was probably the only thing that happened that day that I remember being upsetting (and that was not the Rhapsody’s fault, obviously!) If anything, the staff at the Rhapsody handled the situation wonderfully. Bryan was our planner from the beginning and knew I was really dreaming of getting married in front of the pergola with that diamond curtain. The weather wasn’t ideal, it was 45 and chilly with some snow flakes. My girls weren’t dressed to be in the cold, but everyone convinced me that the guests and our wedding party would be fine spending 20 mins outside for the ceremony. Everyone waited inside until about 5 mins before the start, and we were all back into the reception hall quickly and warmed up. I’m so happy our day-of coordinator (Kaci), Bryan, and our Photographer (who is a longtime vendor of the Rhapsody) Angela Shipps convinced me that the outdoor ceremony was the best bet. Bryan was our in-house DJ, and did a great job keeping everyone engaged and kept the party going all night. He played all the music we wanted (and left out some we specifically asked him NOT to play) and he was very attentive to how we were doing all night. All transitions were smooth between all the first dances/games/open dance floor. The only feedback we’ve heard from our guests is there were some songs they had suggested that he didn’t play. There’s probably not one DJ that has every song that anyone can think of - so I would only suggest to keep working on broadening your library! Overall, the planning process went smoothly for the most part. As with anything, make sure you keep a good line of communication open and know what exactly comes with what package and don’t be scared to clarify when it comes to what you’ll have to pay extra for. They suggest amazing vendors as well, we used Hy-Vee for our flowers/cake/catering and it was so easy! They were wonderful. Top Shelf was amazing as well, the bartender was a hit, and she was so accommodating to me and my husband. Thank you Rhapsody for a wonderful wedding!!!

I can’t begin but rave about how amazing Bryan, Rita & stephanie are! We booked and planned our wedding in 6 months. It was such an amazing, smooth experience, and a lot of that had to do with our vendors! When we booked them, we also decided to go with their in house DJ (Bryan) their Photobooth, and highest décor package (Rita) so I didn’t have to do much 😂😂 They absolutely NAILED IT with our florals, centerpieces, and decor! The venue has a girls cottage and a guys area as well to get ready in, which is beautiful for photos. The venue also came with coordination and planning. I did a lot myself (because I wanted to) lol but it was great knowing they were there if I needed them. Communication was great. The florals turned out AMAZING (Rita made my bouquet, wrist corsages, and centerpieces) and our coordinator (Stephanie) and Bryan made sure our day went as smooth as possible! They are absolutely incredible! Would def 10/10 recommend!
