“Rosedale Park Event Center was the perfect venue for our wedding. Their communication was efficient - they promptly scheduled a meeting with us to discuss our needs and vision. The venue itself was spacious, clean, and beautifully modern, with a scenic outdoor area that provided a gorgeous backdrop for our photos. They were also very accommodating, having a wheelchair lift for one of our guests and creating a designated space in the kitchen for our wedding cake. Overall, Rosedale Park Event Center contributed greatly to making our special day a huge success.”
