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. Reviewed on 14-09-2023

TLDR: Great People, Beautiful Venue, and Delicious Food. They were incredibly easy to work with and made our wedding and reception wonderful. They allowed us to get in and decorate the day before and the rehearsal dinner was fabulous. The day of the wedding they were gracious with everything they provided while we got ready, and offered a great set of spaces for prep and relaxation between the ceremony and reception. There are some beautiful places on-site for photos. The reception itself was magical and many of our guests complimented us on the food. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Rosedale Park Event Center was the perfect place to host our wedding. We wanted a venue that could host both our ceremony and reception and had indoor and outdoor options for a ceremony space. I originally wanted an outdoor ceremony, but the weather on our wedding day said otherwise but the indoor space was still beautiful for our ceremony. Additionally, Jennifer was wonderful to work with and helped with all of the planning details including menu selection and table arrangements. We also loved that they have an on-site caterer. Best of all, I truly felt like I got my money’s worth from this venue. I highly recommend them to other Iowa couples! Reviewed on 04-05-2023
Molly Leytze(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-06-2022 My husband and I got married in Hawaii and chose to have a reception back in Cedar Rapids. We chose TOC because of its beautiful outdoor space. We later learned the building is historic and was once a school house in a now nonexistent town called Rosedale where Grant Wood once taught.Our evening was beautiful and one we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We had so many compliments from our guests about their prime rib. The staff and event coordinators were personable and flexible and provided me with calm when I was stressed. Reviewed on 22-06-2022

They did a great job setting up the hall and being available to have my other vendors come in. I liked being able to try the food before hand to help make my menu selection. The coordinator was really helpful to keep things running smoothly, I was sick during the reception and she did a great job of making sure I had everything I needed. The only problem I had was the bartender had friends come after the Iowa game to drink. I thought that was extremely rude. They did leave after they were asked too. Reviewed on 08-11-2012
