If you can dream it, we can make it happen! Our wedding packages include a dance floor, staging for head tables, tables, chairs, china, glassware, silverware, linens, candlelight, and centerpieces all at no additional cost. Our seasoned team of experts will not only setup your event space but also curate your table layout specific to your tastes. When your event concludes, our team sweeps in to clean up and take everything down so you can enjoy the remainder of the evening.
We offer three main wedding reception spaces. The Grand Ballroom, ideal for lavish receptions, accommodating up to 600 guests. This room features stunning ceiling lights and ornate carpets to elevate your decor. For a more intimate experience, the Parlor Ballroom on the 16th floor can accommodate up to 100 guests. This room boasts floor-to-ceiling windows that let in natural light and offer breathtaking views of Cedar Rapids. For extravagant affairs, the Exhibit Hall on the first floor of the Alliant Energy PowerHouse Convention Center has impressive 28-foot ceilings and a variety of lighting effects. Our on-site catering team provides traditional American cuisine with a creative, Midwestern flair for your reception dinner. Arrange a private tasting with our Chef to plan your menu. Depending on your preferences, we serve dishes plated, buffet style, or station style. Our mouth-watering meals are tailored to your tastes and prepared with top-quality seasonal ingredients. For cocktail hour, our skilled mixologist crafts unique signature drinks for you and your guests to enjoy. The culinary team may also provide options for your rehearsal dinner or wedding brunch. After a fun night of feasting and dancing at our venue, you and your loved ones can retire to one of our 267 beautifully decorated guest rooms to rest.
With our prime downtown Cedar Rapids location we are within walking distance of dining, shopping, and entertainment.
