The Rhapsody - Wedding and Reception Hall

llent people. I recommend the Rhaposody. I have experienced their commitment to making our event special and I am confident that you will experience the same

rings your vision to life with her talented floral décor and centerpiece options. I highly recommend doing the upgraded flower option, this saved it saves you so much time and not having to worry about getting all the items to create your centerpieces. You literally just show up and everything is done! This was a major reason why I love this venue. The entire staff is so well organized, detail oriented and helpful with any questions you have. Bryan is the in house DJ and he was so helpful with every single little detail from the start of your ceremony to the very last song. I really love how they schedule a few times throughout the busy night to take a moment for the bride and groom to slip away and just enjoy a special moment with each other. They 100% put the couple first and I think that is HUGE! The Rhapsody family will always hold a special place in my heart!! Thank you guys for making everything absolutely incredible on our special day!!

ouse was great! Lots of room for everyone to get ready together. Rita, Brian and Staci were awesome to work with.

are about creating those life-Long memories, and is not just a business. I highly recommend this venue!

Rhapsody for an amazing, memorable day!

ost definitely was. They are a one stop shop with options to work with their in house DJ, include a photo booth and slideshow, linens, tables, set up, tear down, and even decorations and bridal flowers if you choose! They even have a bridal cottage and groom’s den on site for getting ready! They are honest, direct, and organized. We couldn’t have asked for anything more, and we would choose this venue time and time again!

band and I had the privilege of being the first couple to get married with their new outdoor expansion and the team made miracles happen to ensure it was ready and absolutely BEAUTIFUL for our big day. I can’t thank Rita, Bryan, and Elizabeth enough. We had a flawless wedding day!!

t was breathtaking! Our wedding was November so the mums were in full bloom, leaves changing gorgeously and a nice mix of Holiday feel with some pine trees around the area! Highly recommend this vendor and group to work with! Book early, they book up fast.

e amazing to use to get ready! Bryan kept the music great and kept the dance floor full!! They are a great and would recommend them to anyone!!! Was a huge relief to not have to worry about center pieces or decorations because they took care of all of it!!! Thank you so much again!

nswering any and all questions we had leading up to the day. What’s more, they also made the day easy by providing the tables, chairs, center pieces, floral designs, photo booth, and DJ for our reception. The reception hall held our party of 100 comfortably and never felt crowded. The people at ‘The Rhapsody’ are great, specifically Elizabeth and Bryan. Elizabeth was our Ceremony coordinator and she made sure that the ceremony went off without a hitch, and went above and beyond what was expected of someone in her position. She took so much stress off the bridal party that it made the day that much better. Bryan was our Dj and reception MC and kept the party going with great music and fun games and dances. Just like Elizabeth, Bryan made the reception easy on us and we never once felt overwhelmed or pressured on the day. We can’t speak highly enough of Rhapsody and would encourage anyone to use them for their big day as well! Thanks Rhapsody!

clearly lined out, so it’s easy to get exactly what you want for your special day. Our DJ, Bryan, did an awesome job making the whole night go smoothly. If you are looking for a great time in a beautiful venue, I strongly recommend The Rhapsody.

y request. I am completely satisfied!!

ul inside and out. It was worth every penny to have the wedding there! We will be back for our other son's wedding!!!

the owner) is the sweetest lady you will ever meet. Her friendliness & positive attitude are another reason that I knew that I had to lock in the venue & it & she did not dissapoint. She decorated the archways in the venue & the pergola outside that we got married under with these beautiful floral arrangements that I'm still getting complements about. She has so much much knowledge & experience that she is happy to share that made things easier on me. She gave us a folder with a bunch of recommendations on wedding venders (caterers, officiant, bartender, etc.) that helped us out tremendously. She also provided us with a list of hotels & near by restaurants for wedding guests who were traveling in from out of town. She provided us with a wedding day/wedding rehearsal coordinator that was a life saver. Her name was Elizabeth Rush & she was a God send & I can't imagine how my wedding would've turned out without her. They had an in-house DJ that we decided to use who was awesome & kept all my guests engaged & entertained. If you want your wedding to be as close to perfect as possible, Rita & The Rhapsody should definitely be your choice!

up to the day!! No matter what question I had, big or small she would help in SUCH a timely manner!! Bryan was our DJ and was awesome!! We had so many compliments on him! Liz was our DOC and she was the absolute BEST. I was not stressed one time the evening before or the day of and I know that is because of all her hard work and attention to detail!!! Even though I felt like a very organized bride, they helped in ways I didn't even know I would need help in!! If you're considering The Rhapsody, do it!!!

the greatest. We also added the photo booth which was a big success and made lots of funny memories with all of are guest. I would also recommend Bryan Rita son for your dj. He keep the party alive.

ed. Additionally, this venue is a family owned and the owners genuinely care for your event and want to ensure you have the best experience they can provide. So needless to say, customer service is by far outstanding and extraordinary. They also have a cottage within walking distance for the bridal party to prep before the wedding. I highly recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for a memorable moment...the whole day was captivating. Thank you to Ms. Rita and her family!!

I must say she did a heck of a job! Our weeding was a dram come true. Even with all of the changes and mishaps we had. This experience was truly amazing. I feel like I have gained my family from another mother. Although I don't miss the planning, I would totally redo my wedding just to have a 10 star experience with my My Rhapsody family again. I would highly recommend the Rhapsody to anyone looking for a family orientated venue for their needs! Thanks to my Rhapsody family, Alicia McKnight- Burns

recommend the Rhapsody nothing but good things to say about this venue & the owner.

ing moments for their special wedding.

as perfect. All the guests loved the decorations. Brian the DJ was a lot of fun and kept the party rolling. The coordinators were awesome. We couldn't have done it without them. I highly recommend them. They were wonderful to work with.

inators. Extremely friendly and made everything a joy for us, the stressed out parents of the bride. Rita was always available and willing to work with us and keep us on track. She also did the wedding flowers and they were beautiful. Five stars is not enough for the great job they did.

en amazing and she made sure my day went smoothly and that I was stress free. I didn't have to worry about anything and that was perfect. I really had nothing to worry about. It is very obvious that ALL of the staff are highly EXPERIENCED. My wedding day was really a fairy tale wedding and the set up was EVERYTHING that I always dreamt it to be. They did an amazing job! Thank you so much. I am OVERLY satisfied. I wish I could give 100 stars.

day. I would recommend this venue to anybody… My husband and I had a year and a half to plan our wedding so I did a lot of research of many different venues all over the Kansas City Metro area and even as far as Lawrence and I couldn't be happier that I picked the rhapsody!

We loved the DJ, he knew how to keep everyone up and dancing which was great. Our day was fantastic, mostly due to the help from The Rhapsody. Highly recommend them to anyone searching for a venue with all 9 yards. We'll definitely be back.

took care of the rest. I would definitely recommend The Rhapsody for any event!

ost incredible flower arrangements and centerpieces. Kaci bustled my wife's dress, assisted the wedding photographer, and took care of everything so that our day would be free of worries. Bryan was entertaining and energetic as our DJ and kept everyone on the dance floor until the very end. I will recommend The Rhapsody to anybody who asks, five stars easily. Rebekah and Jeremy

g job decorating the venue and our flowers it was absolutely stunning. They truly went above and beyond. If I could give them 10 stars they'd deserve every bit of it. I'll never forget how helpful and caring everyone was there on our big day. At the end of it, it felt more like we made friends than a business transaction.

ated them. She bet all of the estimates we gave her. She was always willing to help in any way possible, especially when it came to emotional support. Bryan was our DJ and kept the party going until closing time while being professional the whole way. Every time my husband and myself emailed anyone from The Rhapsody, we received a prompt email back. Elizabeth and Anna were our assigned wedding coordinators and they made sure everything went as smooth as possible on our special day. We will truly miss communicating with each and every one of them. Thank you immensely Rita, Bryan, and The Rhapsody family. You will not be disappointed in going with this venue.

f enthusiasm and excitement about our wedding, which really made everything go off without a hitch! They had a backup plan for everything in case something went wrong, but luckily the day turned out to be absolutely perfect. There were even some really cute areas inside and outside the venue for taking wedding photos. I would without a doubt recommend the Rhapsody to anyone looking for a beautiful, stress-free, and affordable wedding experience.

her staff has made it super easy during the process to help me ease the stress of planning a wedding❤️ Rita made all the fresh flowers for our wedding party and they were just absolutely gorgeous😍 I mean I had a minor concern about the size of my bouquet on rehearsal night and was just going brush it off but Rita wanted my day to be perfect so she had contacted me later to let me know that she's going to fix my bouquet to make it better and I absolutely loved it!! She went above and beyond to make sure my day was perfect and to treat us just like family which is something that we'll treasure forever❤️ Also I wanted to thank our DJ Brian who made the night sooo much fun!!! My husband and I are not huge fans of dancing in front of ppl but we had such a blast that we couldn't contain ourselves that we made several appearances on the dance floor🤗 I am SOOO HAPPY that we had the chance to work with these wonderful ppl and gotten to know them a long the way! Thank you Rita, Brian and Liz for making our night so special🤗

on all in one and wouldn't have done it any other way. With flower packages and all special amenities to choose from, the possibilities are endless. Thank you to Rita, Elizabeth, Amber, Bryan, and all other helpers. Thanks so much, Bobbi

ay perfect! Rita helped me along the way with all the details and then some! She's a life savor! Bryan is their in-house DJ. I also highly recommend using him! He will not disappoint. He gets the crowd laughing and up to dance the night away. A DJ can totally make or break a reception and he is top notch!

to everyone at the Rhapsody!

eces and she made them even better and more fantastic than we could have imagined! The in house DJ, Bryan, had a charismatic personality. Everyone was up and dancing the whole night! We've already booked him, too! I know my daughter's wedding will be amazing!

the costumes props and taking silly photos. I would recommend this venue for sure.

the reception and dinner and anything and everything we needed music for wonderful and even worked with all my Disney requests! Fabulous! Brett, who worked the photo booth, the overall photo booth experience was fantastic. We got to keep a strip of every photo taken and people were able to see a stream of pictures as well as the photos went online so everyone could see. It was worth the extra money! Liz was our coordinator. SHE WAS THE BEST THING EVER. She helped with deliveries, crazy requests, last minute details, random questions, and kept everyone calm. Get her if all possible for your wedding! Rita made my centerpieces. It was so easy just seeing what she had and making something beautiful. She hand makes them all and I had so much to choose from! Beautiful purple arrangements with lights and bling. Loved them all! Our ceremony was outside, and it was just truly beautiful. The garden and waterfall was a beautiful back drop. I highly recommend The Rhapsody! Staff is fantastic and easy to work with and to keep you calm on your special day.

upportive and helpful. She is very professional and understood that all our meetings would be done via phone. She was VERY accommodating to my schedule and flexible! Rita not only is a very personable and friendly owner she truly cared about me as a bride and that all my plans were going accordingly for my wedding. Rita made great suggestions for a bar service and catering since she knew i was planning from out of town and was not familiar with the area. The Rhapsody also has in house DJ and photo booth. We used the DJ and he was perfect as well! The whole staff at the Rhapsody was very professional and very accommodating with my requests. We had a themed wedding and they were glad to help make my vision come to life. The property easily fit our 100 guests, decorations, catering, and a decent size dance floor to party. The property has a beautiful garden out back and fun patio area where we set up our bar. It was perfect for our guests to also mingle outside since it was a perfect fall evening. I would highly recommend this location for any big event or party as a venue. The service and quality was great! Thank you Rita and the Rhapsody for making our BIG day classy and memorable.

lity. The Venue is both elegant and beautiful from the Garden Wedding to the dinning and Ballroom area. The DJ was fantastic and ran the wedding dance and reception functions with style. Everyone commented on how much fun they had and wished they could keep the music going even though he had played for more than 4 hours. We highly recommend this Venue, "The Rhapsody" and again "Thank You Rita"

Elizabeth-our wedding coordinator was AMAZING! So sweet and helpful. I seriously would not have made it without all of her help on the wedding day. Decorations are amazing!! Each bride gets to choose their colors and arrangements and they are made especially for her using her colors and preferences. We had several compliments from guests. Set up is DONE!- All the tables, chairs, table cloths, buffet linens, sound, decorations are put up and ready to go when you walk in the door to start wedding prep. It was so nice not to have to worry about setting any of these things up. Catering- You can choose your own caterer and bring in whatever food/menu you would like. Outdoor Area- The back yard is like a wedding wonderland. The pictures on the website show the back drop. It is beautiful and can be tailored to each bride and her decor colors and preferences. Chairs set up outside for an out door wedding are set up and ready to go when you get there. Great view for an outside wedding. Video Recording- Video camera's can be hooked up to the sound for good sound quality. Insurance is Mandatory- I like that I have to pay for party insurance. If any of my guests got hurt or stupid- they were covered and it would not have to go against myself or the venue. House- Definately rent the house to get ready in if you can. It was great to have a place for everyone to gather, eat, relax and get dressed in. Clean Up- We paid the 150.00 for them to clean up and it was worth it. We just had to clear all of our things and they took care of the rest. Rehearsal- Each couple gets one hours to rehearse on site. This is SO nice! It helps everyone understand and see where they are supposed to be. Elizabeth was there for this part as well as the entire wedding. Round Tables- I really like the round tables. Reception Room- We set up for 250 people knowing we could overflow outside if necessary if we had more. Photo Booth onsite if you want to pay for it. Guests enjoyed it. Rain Plan- It rained the day of our wedding. I was not really prepared for that even though they had warned us about what might happen. Nothing could be set up outside. I don't blame the venue. I understand they need to protect their equipment. We ended up having everything inside. We had rehearsed it though so it was ok. Elizabeth worked with us well and got us all organized to have the wedding and reception inside. Cons- No ovens/warmers- All the food has to be brought hot and placed in food warmers. No Ice Machine- We had to bring in bags of ice. There is a gas station a block away so it wasn't an issue. Just would be nice to have an ice machine. Parking- Limited for a large wedding. I know they have overflow down the hill but for guests who are handicapped or elderly it would be a hard walk.

a cottage to boot. The cottage was amazing to get ready in all day, and not have to schlep all of my stuff and all my wedding parties things to and from. We were able to have our hair, make-up, snacks, and mimosas, all at an arms reach from the reception area....SO convenient! We decided to also use the house DJ, Bryan, and he was incredible as well. I was skeptical because usually when you do the whole package, something is lacking, and i had assumptions it would be the DJ....and i was really worried about people not dancing and making my wedding boring. Bryan came through and there was not one person sitting down! All i remember is everybody being on the dance floor, all the time!:) What a wonderful place, with wonderful people!! Another cool note.....if you're a musician like I am, you'll find it cool that The Rhapsody is also the home to The Musik Connection, where kids can learn piano!:)

we chose included everything we needed and more. Rita handled all of the reception decor, Bryan was our DJ (and the party did not stop) and the rest of the staff at the Rhapsody was just amazing. Rita took what little direction I gave her and turned it into a storybook reception. I had no doubt Rita would make this reception an event to remember & she did not disappoint. People go to wedding receptions and say that was nice, but this reception will be talked about for a very long time. This is truly thanks to the staff at the Rhapsody. If you are looking for a great group of people to work with and a beautiful facility to go along with it, then I highly suggest the Rhapsody! I could go on and on about what a joy the staff is and how beautiful the facility is, but I think you would be better off to go check it out yourself. Before you go, prepare to be amazed and don't look anywhere else b/c they are AWESOME!

he outdoor wedding. The bride and groom selected to use the package that included Bryan the DJ who did an excellent job with the music and suggesting funs times during the dancing, the photo booth with Brett, which had lots of extras and was a real highlight, the cottage for the bride and her party to dress and relax before the wedding and Elizabeth who did an outstanding job as the wedding coordinator for our outdoor wedding. We also used the buffet room which was also beautiful and so nice to have a separate area to close off when the serving was done. Our favorite photo spot was the waterfall and stunning flower garden. The archways inside the hall were beautifully decorated to match out color scheme. We opted to decorate our own tables but the tables were set up with chairs around and linens were draped. 5 star accomodations!

ches on the decorations. I love the fact that we didn't feel like it was a cookie cutter facility, but rather an open venue that listened to our wants and needs. Will DEFINITELY use them again with my own daughters.

a nut shell...you won't be disappointed. You can bring in your own vendors (food and alcohol), they are very flexible and accommodating to your needs. Her decorating and centerpieces are absolutely beautiful and she dang near matches the pictures you send her of examples you like. Their response time is quick you won't be waiting around for answers to your questions. You will be able to have a wedding within a reasonable budget without sacrificing quality and elegance. Several people following the ceremony and reception told my family "prettiest wedding they had ever seen". Check them out, like I said you will be getting more than you pay for. We also received our damage deposit back within two weeks with a lovely thank you note written personally from Rita.

ts, table decor, outdoor greenery, and just general atmosphere The Rhapsody provided. The photo booth was quite entertaining, the DJ (Bryan) was exceptional, and Liz, the coordinator all added a very personal touch to our evening. I would not hesitate to recommend The Rhapsody and its staff to anyone.

arden was stunning with the crystal curtain shining in the sun, and the well groomed garden was perfect for pictures. Rita, Brian and the crew were wonderful to work with and exceeded expectations. The photo booth was also a big hit with guest. We can't thank Rita enough!!!

d person and DJ, and Kaci was very organized for the wedding. The use of the little house next door for the Bride and Bridesmaids to get ready worked out perfect! Thanks to the Rhapsody Team for making our event very memorable and fun! If we had another daughter....we'd be back!

were made exactly how I asked for every detail from a bling curtain to pearl pins in my burlap, Rita was so friendly with me and my family, we met with her numerous time over the year and she is so great at her job. Brian was our music man and dj and everything went perfect he did every song I asked and knows what he's doing also incredibly friendly and fun to work with. I would recommend this venue to everybody! Five stars :)

licy. If I had an idea, she did everything she could to make it happen. The garden was perfect. We received so many compliments on how beautiful the flowers were. The reception was decorated beautifully also. Rita did a great job decorating the arches in our color scheme. We didn't really have our wedding day scheduled out and organized like most brides do, so Rita offered us a wedding coordinator. Elizabeth was fantastic. She got our wedding started on time (which was really important to me) and people where they needed to go. D.J. Bryan was terrific!! He kept the party going. He let us know when our photographers were leaving to make sure they captured our first dances, cake cutting and toasts. He kept everyone "in the know" of what was going on. The games we played were a huge hit with our families and guests. Everyone complimented us on what a fantastic job he did and how nice he was. As we were deciding on a wedding venue, I was hesitant to pick this place just based on the price. After choosing The Rhapsody as our place and receiving all the wonderful help from Rita & her team and seeing the smiles on all our guests faces, made it worth it! I highly recommend The Rhapsody for your next wedding venue. Perfect wedding venue that offers a lifetime of memories: Priceless

ed on May 24, 2014 when she woke up to rain. We had worked with Rita and her amazing team to develop a back up plan to move the ceremony indoors. It was a good plan and Rita went out of her way to add coral flowers at the last minute to create a more garden like feel inside. Even with the weather not looking good, they did not give up on having my daughter’s dream garden wedding. They keep an eye on the satellite pictures and made us feel like they had as much invested in making things perfect as we did. At the last possible minute they worked with us to make a decision, we had a window in the weather and it was a go. At 6 pm my beautiful daughter walked down the path, in the garden, to marry an amazing young man. The weather was cool, not cold, a nice breeze was blowing and it could not have been more perfect. I feel like most venues would have pushed us to make a decision, Rita and her team hoped and prayed with us and then worked quickly to make my daughter’s wedding perfect. The reception venue was wonderful; they supported and checked in with us frequently throughout the day and evening. We liked being able to choose our own caterer and while they had a list for us to look at, they did not push anything on us but supported us through the process. Because I made the cake, Rita called me several days before the wedding, offering to make exceptions and asked if there was anything I needed. We were glad we also reserved the house next to the venue. It is large and spacious and the perfect place for the bride and her girls to dress, laugh, and relax throughout the afternoon. Everyone at the reception loved the photo booth and especially seeing the pictures projected on the wall during the dance. The day was enjoyable because of Rita and her team, their kindness, calmness and genuine concern that we have the best experience at The Rhapsody made all the difference. At the end of the day, my daughter said “Everything was perfect”, what more can a mother ask for!
