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! :)

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.

My husband and I couldn’t be happier that we went with Copper Creek for our wedding! Kelly and her team were great to work with while planning! We were in contact with a coordinator that they provided 45 days out from our wedding which made everything so much easier and was a lot of help! We loved the space and that we could have a smaller ceremony outside with a larger reception inside. They let us use their outside bar area as a coffee station that we provided everything for, I am so thankful they let us do that! The coordinator was there all day and for set up and helped me with so much on my big day. I couldn’t say enough good things!!

We loved having our wedding at Pilgrim Heights Camp & Retreat Center! Mckenzie and the staff were so friendly, quick to respond to any questions, and truly seemed happy to host our special day. The camp was beautifully maintained with tidy cabins and gorgeous natural surroundings that perfectly fit our outdoorsy vibe. Mckenzie went above and beyond to ensure the venue accommodated my grandpa's wheelchair, exemplifying the caring spirit of Pilgrim Heights. From the planning process to the big day itself, they contributed so much warmth while also handling logistics smoothly. We highly recommend Pilgrim Heights for their beautiful, nature-filled venue and outstanding service - especially shout out to Mckenzie Hinegardner for putting such care into coordinating everything!
