    Look no further for your perfect venue - The Rhapsody is it!

    The Rhapsody was the perfect place for our wedding - we could not have asked for a better experience. We planned our wedding in three months and the team at The Rhapsody made the whole process SO easy. They are so organized, and were able to answer all of the questions we had quickly. Our entire experience was exceptional, starting with the communication with Bryan even before our first tour. He and the rest of the staff at The Rhapsody are truly caring and the most genuine people and deliver the best service - they are absolute experts in what they do.

    Not only is the service exceptional at The Rhapsody, but the space itself is amazing too. From our first tour, we knew that this venue was going to be everything we wanted and more. The ballroom is spacious and gorgeous and there are so many details The Rhapsody includes to personalize the space - the selection of colors of the linens, the centerpieces, custom lighting colors and projections in the archways, and incorporating our wedding colors in the permanent flower pieces around the ballroom. The ballroom flows beautifully to the ceremony pergola and courtyard with waterfall, fireplace insert and photobooth - it’s perfect to give guests alternative areas to socialize and cool off after dancing the night away!

    Speaking of dancing the night away - we chose Bryan as our DJ as well, and he did a fantastic job from start to finish. He did a great job MCing the reception and mixing music for different times of the day - from the ceremony to the grand entrance, dinner, and dancing. He was able to feel the energy of the crowd to keep the party alive on the dance floor which was a big priority for me.

    A huge bonus of this venue are the cottage and villa on the premises for getting ready. We are a little traditional in that we didn’t want to see each other before the ceremony, so having these places to hang out and get ready with our parties before the ceremony was essential. My bridesmaids, bridesman, and I had a wonderful time in the beautiful (and newly renovated!) cottage. There was a ton of space for my party plus other family and special guests to get ready with a kitchenette with dining table, large living room, two bathrooms, dedicated makeup/hair room, and huge dressing room with a pedestal and mirrors galore.

    Overall, The Rhapsody delivered an amazing experience through the whole process - during planning and day-of - and we can’t imagine having a better experience anywhere else!

    Amazing experience in a beautiful setting with a staff that went above and beyond to make our Big Day absolutely PERFECT!

    I cannot say enough kind words to describe how pleased we are with The Rhapsody. Bryan and his team were with us every step of the way, giving us a sense of peace, knowing our wedding would move forward smoothly, leaving us to simply enjoy our special day. The venue provided everything we could have imagined for the perfect ceremony, from the outdoor Pergola for the ceremony, the Covered Patio for our guests to mingle in a comfortable setting, to the indoor Grand Ballroom, and everything in between. The Bridal Cottage for the women to prepare themselves in a beautiful, comfortable (and private) setting was an unexpected, nice touch. The Villa for the men to have their own place to hang out and just be guys was another surprising detail that we would have never thought about.
    Bryan, as the DJ, just made the whole experience even better than expected. His artistic talents in making the music fit just right with all the crazy people we had at our wedding was outstanding! But, as impressive as the venue itself was, it pales in comparison to the staff. They provided so much information and details for our day that they gave us a true sense of peace knowing our big day would go off without a hitch. The Rhapsody provides everything any couple would need for their event; they are a one-stop shop and go above and beyond to make any event PERFECT!
    Not only did we feel a true connection with the staff, but we also felt as if we had made new friends. I look forward to assisting the Rhapsody and the staff in helping future couples, answering any questions, and giving them a small piece of what The Rhapsody staff gave to us: a sense of calm, knowing full well our wedding ceremony was in good hands! We will HIGHLY recommend The Rhapsody to anyone within our circle of influence for any event needs. I hope to be able to use The Rhapsody again if the need calls for it. Thank you, Bryan, and the whole Rhapsody team, for making our big day truly magical and extraordinary, one we will always remember fondly, with a huge smile on our face and a warm, special place in our hearts.

    Amazing venue!

    The Rhaposdy was amazing and made our dream wedding come true!!! Anytime I was feeling stressed or running into hiccups Andrea and Bryan were more than eager to find a solution.
    We used their DJ services and wow! Bryan kept the party going and we had guests on the dance floor all night. We also used their Photo Booth which was a huge hit with our guests. My bouquet was also purchased through the venue and it was absolutely gorgeous.

    Our day of coordinator was LuAnn and she went above and beyond. We had an outdoor wedding planned and the weather decided to drop down to 40 and pour all day. LuAnn was able to flip our wedding from the garden to the covered patio in 30 minutes. Our ceremony was still absolutely beautiful. I would recommend the Rhaposdy to any couple I know planning a wedding

    Our Wedding was Amazing!

    Everyone at The Rhapsody was such a joy to work with. They were incredibly helpful and made our day absolutely PERFECT. Highly recommend you hire Bryan as your DJ. He kept the party going and so many of our guests told us how awesome our DJ was. The photo booth was a huge hit with our guests too! I cannot recommend this venue enough!

    All our dreams came true!

    We loved the Rhapsody, it was such a beautiful venue. The staff there was amazing and so helpful. DJ Bryan made sure our ceremony and reception was on point. The photo booth we rented was a big hit and definitely kept all the kids busy. Everyone keeps talking about how amazing our wedding was, we owe all the thanks to The Rhapsody and the entire crew.

    Absolutely Amazing

    Words can't hardly express how grateful I am to be able to have had my wedding at the Rhapsody. On the day of my tour, I knew this was the right place for us. This venue is beautiful. Planning a wedding can be very stressful, but with the monthly group meetings and private planning sessions they provide, will definitely keep your mind at ease. The Rhapsody provides your every need. The entire staff is wonderful! Bryan did an incredible job as DJ and always being available for questions ect. Sabina did such a beautiful job with my flowers/decor. Andrea was great with helping with planning and decor. I even called her the day before the wedding with a change, and it was no problem lol. The Rhapsody is the absolute best! Our wedding was absolutely beautiful. John and I can't say Thank you enough for such an amazing experience.

    AMAZING from beginning to end

    Everyone was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, they made this wedding process manageable. They had list of recommended vendors (of all sorts), tips and advice, lists of to do things (two versions), a huge variety of decor options, affordable amenities, and the list goes on! DJ Bryan was incredible and so kind and thoughtful! Sabine and Andrea were so creative and sweet! I mean everyone was so nice! It was definitely a dream wedding come true! I HIGHLY recommend this venue because they will do everything they can take help you out and make sure you are comfortable and happy. (:

    Everything I dreamed of

    I remember when we got engaged, I was so excited, but being the person I am, I instantly started panicking about all the planning we had to do. With The Rhapsody, there was little to no panicking because they took care of so many things and made the process so simple. They have monthly planning meetings where they go over different topics to help you prep for the big day and they were always available to answer any questions we had. And believe me, we had SO many questions. We were worried we might be getting annoying. But they were always happy to answer every single one of our questions. Our wedding went so perfectly and smoothly. I couldn’t have imagined a better day. I can’t thank everyone at The Rhapsody enough for making our dream wedding come true!!

    The Rhapsody made my daughter's wedding day perfect. From decorating the tables. Beautiful, bridal flowers, Beautiful. Photo booth was so fun. And you cannot have your wedding without owner and DJ Bryan. He made our day so much fun. The recommended vendor list was so helpful. The bridal cottage with a full kitchen and groom villa are wonderful. Take advantage of the many services they offer. The Rhapsody knows how to make your special day stress free and so much fun.

    Excellent Venue and affordable for everything you get!

    We had my daughter's wedding at The Rhapsody June 10th. It went flawless. She had her dream wedding. Brian was fabulous as well as the wedding coordinator/planner. They all made us feel so relaxed and we were able to enjoy the day with our daughter and new husband, family and friends. I highly recommend this venue!

    Highly Recommend!

    Could not be more grateful to have chosen The Rhapsody as our wedding venue.

    The tour was amazing and Bryan gave us a fully immersive experience to really see what it would be like on the day of. The facility is very clean and absolutely beautiful. The floors are reflective and make for great photos!

    Booking the venue was smooth and straight forward. No hidden fees that we were not expecting. They gave a detailed overview of expectations in the contract.

    They were readily available to answer questions and generally responded same day if not within the same hour.

    The had a day of coordinator, Holly, that made sure everyone knew the game plan and we were running on time.

    We also were highly pleased to use their florist for boutonnieres and corsages.

    Best part is we also booked Bryan as our DJ through The Rhapsody and he absolutely killed it. He created the best atmosphere to celebrate the night away.

    Most definitely recommending The Rhapsody to all of my friends!!

    Absolutely Fantastic Experience

    Words can't truly describe how privileged we felt choosing The Rhapsody as our wedding venue. Every single service they provide has the couple's end goals and success in mind. They are punctual, available, and organized. The value of choosing them is basically endless as they provide many of their services in house, like flowers, DJ, Photobooth, a wedding day coordinator and decorations. Each of these items took stress out of our planning process and allowed us to just really enjoy every second of the day. We could not have felt more appreciated and supported through our entire time. They even provide monthly workshops to go over wedding details like timelines, recommended vendors, and extra amenities. Special shoutout to Bryan who organizes and usually runs these workshops. Our day would not have been as perfect and flawless without him! He even provides DJ services for the day and kept the entire reception flowing and partying the whole night. We adore everything The Rhapsody gave to us throughout the entire wedding process. Could not give any higher of a recommendation to go book with them!

    The Rhapsody's reply:

    Ethan & Connor, We can't thank you enough for the amazing memories we've shared. It was a pleasure to get to know you and your families. You will forever be a Rhapsody Couple and we are blessed for that!! We wish you the absolute best in the future. Please come back for anniversary photos and to just say hi! With love, The Scherer's

    The Rhapsody- venue review

    The Rhapsody was fantastic from start to end. The venue is beautiful, clean, and up-to date. My husband and I had thought we were set on our wedding venue and only went to the Rhapsody because they had spring dates available still, by the end of the tour and conversation with the owner, Bryan, we booked our date! The communication was quick and they answered any and all the questions (even the silly little ones that pop into a stressed out brides brain). A huge pro of this venue is the staffing, they take care of most decoration/set-up, music if you chose the in house dj, and the day of coordinator. You wont find that type of staffing at another venue, or at least in a venue that is reasonably priced. Seriously, the best venue!!! I will be suggesting to all the soon to be engaged couples in my life.

    The Rhapsody's reply:

    Thank you for these kind words, Mackenzie! We will absolutely miss you and Ryan and all your family! We've created so many wonderful memories. Please keep in touch!
    Best wishes,
    The Scherer's 💙

    Fantastic Experience

    The Rhapsody made my day PERFECT. They are so easy to work with and everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. They are not only awesome people, they are awesome at their job. They made wedding planning so easy and made my vision a reality. 100% recommend hiring the in house DJ...Bryan had everyone on the dance floor all night and was the talk of the wedding. Can't speak highly enough about this place.

    Fairytale Venue - Dream Come True

    I recently married the love of my life at The Rhapsody and it was an absolute dream come true. Rita and the rest of the staff paid close attention to details, handled most of the planning, were flexible, and cared about making sure everything was exactly how we wanted it to be. I felt like I was the number one priority and had so much support with planning. On our wedding day, my husband and I were able to focus on enjoying every moment rather than feeling stressed or having to ask family members to help us set up or manage vendors. Rita (owner and florist), Bryan (DJ), and Kaci (wedding coordinator) were all enthusiastic, organized, and communicated effectively. We received countless compliments from family and friends both in attendance and online. I toured several local venues before finding the Rhapsody and I am so glad I did not settle for somewhere else before finding this gem. We cannot recommend The Rhapsody enough! If I could give extra stars I would because this venue did not disappoint in any way and I was blown away by how incredible the location, decorations, flowers, music, photo booth, bridal cottage, groom's villa, photo ops, and team of staff dedicated were.

    Happy I went with the Rhapsody

    10/10 recomend! The venue incredible, beautiful, and very well maintained. The staff is so nice, and very attentive to what you need to make your special day what you imagined. Every interaction with the staff was pleasant, and they shared their vast amount of knowledge and tricks to make your day run as smoothly as possible. I also 100% recommend the DJ, he is fun and energetic, and knows how to get people to the dance floor.
