As a photographer, I love when a venue has lots of variety of backgrounds all throughout the location. And it is just an added bonus when those locations look great year round and no matter the weather!!! And that is exactly why I am OBSESSED with The Barn on Heron Hill! Not only is the barn visually stunning but the landscaping, limestone and additional buildings only add to the overall appeal. It is a location that is easily customizable to fit a couple's vision and as a photographer, I know a wedding at The Barn on Heron Hill is going to be smooth sailing from beginning to end!

This venue takes the stress out of the day and since you are already spending so much on your day, take the stress out of it by booking this Venue. The Waterfront Hotel crew was absolutely FANTASTIC and made our day perfect. Booking this venue saved us from having to rent a party bus-saving us at least 3,000 for this area. ALSO the day of coordinator was AMAZING and assisted with any questions I had. As if this place couldn't get any better, the venue had HALF of the decorations that I needed- a life saver when we live over 3 hours away. I have thought long and hard about a downfall for this venue-- I have yet to find one. Book now and don't think twice!

I can't say enough good things about Rosedale. Firstly, the venue is stunningly beautiful. It really needs no "dressing-up". Secondly, Jen is so nice and so helpful. Not only did she answer all my silly questions but did so promptly and with a smile. Working with this venue was such a breeze it felt odd not to have to worry about so many things. We chose to go with the all inclusive package which meant we had access to the whole venue from getting ready to our outdoor photos, ceremony in the beautiful gazebo, and the reception hall. Lastly, the catering is fantastic. We attended multiple tastings and loved everything they served. We ultimately went with the classic menu simply because it fit into our budget the best. If we had more room in the budget, we would have gone with a custom menu because we tasted so many delicious offerings that were not on a set menu. I would highly recommend this venue and catering company.

I booked the Olympic South Side Theater for my wedding reception and it was absolutely perfect! This venue is gorgeous. The interior is newly renovated and it boasts nice views of the NewBo area and the sunset. The venue manager, Brandi, was so professional and so helpful! I had a lot of questions for her and she always responded quickly and helped me stay organized and gave me good advice on the schedule and set-up of the venue. On the day of the event, we used the on-site suites to get ready, which worked well. We also had an open bar with custom cocktails and the guests raved about how good the drinks were. Can't recommend them highly enough if you're looking for an event venue in Eastern Iowa! :)
