Rosedale Park Event Center - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

We had our rehearsal dinner and wedding reception at Rosedale. It went so smoothly! All of the tables and linens were set up when we got there on Friday. All we had to do was decorate. We were really happy with the communication, it was quick and very helpful. We loved the open houses, we were able to play around with what they had for decorations to see what we wanted and taste the food to better help decide what choices to make. Overall, it was a great experience, it went smoothly and wonderfully! We had a great reception!

Rosedale Park Event Center was the perfect place to host our wedding. We wanted a venue that could host both our ceremony and reception and had indoor and outdoor options for a ceremony space. I originally wanted an outdoor ceremony, but the weather on our wedding day said otherwise but the indoor space was still beautiful for our ceremony. Additionally, Jennifer was wonderful to work with and helped with all of the planning details including table arrangements. We also loved that they have an on-site caterer. Best of all, I truly felt like I got my money’s worth from this venue. I highly recommend them to other Iowa couples!

This was the perfect spot for our wedding. The ability to have ceremony, reception, catering, decorations, and getting ready space all in one venue made planning so easy. The staff was always friendly, helpful, and quick to respond.

We’re happy we chose to go with the Rosedale Park Event Center for our wedding.
The venue had just about everything we needed. We had the rehearsal dinner with them. The bridal party got ready there. We had the ceremony outside in front of their gazebo, the cocktail hour and reception were inside the event center, and all of our photos were taken on site. All of the spaces were clean and pleasant to be in. There was plenty of room for nearly 100 people, including all of the tables, the dance floor, a photobooth, and the lounge space near the bar. Since we had the rehearsal dinner with them, we were able to access the space to decorate the day before. Which was really convenient.

Zest catering was excellent. Everyone raved about how good the food was. We had snacks and mimosas while getting ready, rehearsal dinner, appetizers, reception dinner, and midnight snacks. Everything was delicious. The catering staff had everything hot and ready, they bussed the plates and silverware, and packed up our leftovers at the end of the night. The bartender made great drinks. The only things that could have been better was they forgot to put out plates for the appetizers right away, and we didn’t know that they don’t do water service at the tables until a few days before the wedding. We had to rent water goblets and pitchers at the last minute.

The staff was friendly, professional, and responsive during the planning process. They asked us lots of questions to make sure we had everything we needed. They offered some in-house decor, helped us make a seating chart, and set up all the tables and chairs for us. The only issue we had is that they were short-staffed the day of the wedding, and it was hard to find someone when we needed help with the elevator and when we needed more plates.
Overall, we’re glad we had our wedding here. They made us feel welcome and it was good value for what we paid.

We had such a magical wedding! We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful venue. Jennifer and staff took such great care and ownership in making sure our day went off without a hitch. Jennifer is very knowledgeable and detailed to ensure we knew what they do and do not take care of so that our end knew what we needed to do. Thank you so much, Rosedale for ensuring our day went off without a hitch!

Sincerely,

Our daughter got married here. We kind of just moved in for the day. Hanna was so welcoming. The staff and food was excellent. Sue the bartender was great. You all helped make our daughters wedding beautiful and fun. Thank you all.

We got married here in June 2022. Not only is the venue gorgeous, but the gazebo out back also made for a beautiful ceremony. Jenn and Hannah were so easy to work with-they really listened to what we had in mind for our vision and accommodated all of our requests while also being prepared for potentially bad weather the day of the wedding. I feel like choosing this venue was one of the best decisions we made when it came to planning our wedding!

Our experience having our wedding at Rosedale was great! Jennifer and the rest of the staff were all super helpful and kind to ensure everything was just the way we wanted it. We were able to have our ceremony outside, although I appreciated the opportunity to have the ceremony in different locations if the weather was not cooperating. We had an outdoor cocktail hour and then moved inside for the reception. The food from the in-house Zest Catering Company was great and there was plenty of space at the venue for pictures. Plus, there was no need to bring in outside decorations because Rosedale has decorations you can use at no extra cost. I would definitely recommend this venue!
