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! :)

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.
