Literally cannot recommend this venue enough. They made planning a wedding super easy and fun. They have everything you need and everything you didn’t know you needed. It was such a pleasure to work with them. I would recommend them 10 times over!!
Where to start! This venue and the people who run it were the absolute best! They were so accommodating and were there every step of the way during our big day. They made my now husband and I feel so welcome and made sure we felt all the love on our big day. We were lucky enough to have Bryan as our DJ and he was the BEST!!!!! If you are looking for a wedding spot this is for sure the one you will want. Couldn't have had a better day THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!!
Bryan was very professional & he offered to tier service for me & my wife's wedding this year. If your second guessing booking your next weeding with the Rhapsody please do throughout the night he made sure that everything was perfect & it was i couldn’t imagine anyone else being our DJ or anything other venue topping what they were able to achieve !
Any questions?
I absolutely loved loved loved being married at the rhapsody! They walked us through the whole process and was helpful in every way. Bryan was wonderful and very very caring towards us. The venue was beautiful and perfect on our wedding day! I couldn’t ask for a better venue to be married at! I love everyone who worked with us and helps coordinate the wedding.
The Rhapsody was amazing. This venue is very beautiful and the staff are amazing. They literally took everything off my plate. The decorations were beautiful, the DJ was great. The coordinators are amazing. I would recommend everyone to get married there.
Loved the venue
My wedding here was absolutely fantastic!!!! Stephanie and Andrea did a fantastic job with planning and setting up all the decor it was stunning!!! The lady in charge of putting together the bouquets made the most beautiful bouquet I’ve ever seen!!!! I would also recommend using the in house dj Brian!!! He’s a super nice guy and works with your needs and wants. He also kept everyone dancing later than I’ve ever seen at any other wedding!!!! Overall I don’t believe I could’ve ever asked for a better wedding!! They made the whole experience easy and perfect!!!
We absolutely love this Venue! They have wonderful/helpful staff. Everyone is so kind and friendly. They think of every single detail so you don’t have to!
The rhapsody team is wonderful. Brian, the owner/ DJ/ advisor/ and our dearest friend helped us so much. He offered to reach out to one of our vendors to minimize our to do list. Sheena our coordinator, Chrissy, our bartender, Carlo our backstage person.
Andrea our planner. You guys are amazing. Thanks for an amazing experience.
Mr & Mrs Lee
My husband and I had the pleasure of getting married here this past weekend. It was such a great night! We booked the venue last year and I’m so glad we did because they were booking up fast into the next year! The entire process was stress free. We literally went in for individual meetings. One for flowers, one for floor plan layout, one for dj, and one for coordinating. This venue was amazing! My best friend got married here and I fell in love with it then! They have a florist in house, a dj in house with Photo Booth, and the package even comes with a coordinator and wedding planner!! And soooo much more! Omg most places charge THOUSANDS for these types of services. They made the entire day so easy. I was severely nervous and anxious the entire day but everyone made sure everything was taken care of. I didn’t have to lift a finger. This venue truly cares about what you want and need on your special day. Everything was just perfect. They made sure I was calm and comfortable the entire process. They knew what was important to me. It honestly couldn’t have been better. I am a jewelry consultant and I will recommend this venue to everyone I sell an engagement ring too! It was amazing. Thank you Bryan, Amanda, Andrea and Maddee and the entire Rhapsody staff for helping make our dream wedding happen! You will Forever have a special place in our hearts.
The Rhapsody was the perfect venue for our wedding. Bryan and his team really made sure that our wedding day was great. They were vey responsive and perfessional. We have gotten so many compliments about how beautiful everything turned out. Bryan was also our DJ for the day and did an amazing job keeping the good vibes flowing. Andrea was great in helping us plan the day!Stephanie was our day of coordinator and she really made sure that the ceremony and rehersal went well. On the day of I just had to focus on marrying my best friend!
What an amazing experience!!! You will not be disappointed if you chose this venue! The entire staff was so accommodating and professional and oh yeah! Get the DJ Bryan too! He’s guaranteed to have your party going all night! 💙
The wedding process is a challenging time with tons of planning and stress. When trying to find a venue my wife Madison and I came on a tour of the Rhapsody and instantly knew - this was our venue, home and place to start our forever. Bryan and his crew are amazing, in every sense of the word. They are caring, thorough and informative for every step of the way. They made sure that EVERY question, comment or concern was heard and was answered. The key concern of the staff at the Rhapsody is creating your perfect wedding day, down to the smallest of details, I challenge anyone to find a team more caring and with a higher sense of proud in their customer service. I am so thankful my wife and I chose the Rhapsody and their team, to not only create our dream wedding, but to help us kick off the perfect start to our happily ever after.
The rhapsody team did an incredible job. The venue, music, decor, planner, and coordinator were everything we could have asked for and more. 1000% recommend
First, words CAN NOT explain how much we appreciate the rhapsody! I’ll try my best though. I had seen the venue through a friend from IG and i instantly fell in love with it. When we first met Bryan for our tour, he was so nice and so supportive. I love how welcoming the venue is even if you don’t pick them right away. They were more than welcome to let us check other options but I don’t believe that any other venue would have treated us so well like the rhapsody did on our tour day. This treatment did not change even after signing, they remained being super sweet and supportive. Everyone, I mean EVERYONE, was so helpful. They truly live up to their name on being stress free. They were so helpful when they saw that I was starting to stress out. I honestly had an image in my head on how i wanted my wedding to look but I did not know how to make it come true. But the rhapsody did everything possible to make my vision possible. I couldn’t have done it by myself. I’m so so happy to have chosen them as my venue. ❤️
The whole team at the Rhapsody makes sure you feel welcomed like family. They truly genuinely care and look forward to helping you and your partner create everlasting beautiful memories. They make sure you have as few worries as possible so that your wedding planning process is fun, stress free and easy. If you pick them I can personally assure you from me and my partners experience that you can trust them with your special day you won’t regret it. I will never forget the faces of all the wonderful staff that made our day perfect thank you guys so much!
The Rhapsody venue and team are unlike any wedding vendor you’ll ever find. From day 1, we were treated like family. Bryan and Andrea thought of every detail and made sure our day went off without any issues. We looked at several locations before deciding on The Rhapsody. Why did we choose them? They have the full recipe for what it takes to have a successful wedding. We had everything from chairs, tables, linens, a wedding coordinator (the best there is), and day of coordinator, but also three options for where to have your special ceremony. All of this comes for a very reasonable price. Bryan was also our DJ and he killed it at our reception. Our guests didn’t want to stop dancing and leave! Our day of coordinator even went as far as helping one of our guests sew up her outfit that ripped while attending our reception. 🤣🙈 I could go on and on but what I can say most is you can be sure every last detail will be handled by this team and the venue is nothing short of stunning, making for the most beautiful day. Thank you Rhapsody family for helping us make the wedding day memories that will last a lifetime. Wish this review offered 10 stars because I 10/10 recommend you!
The team at The Rhapsody was truly exceptional. Undoubtedly, it's the ultimate wedding venue one could wish for. Treated like family by the entire staff, their professionalism was top-notch. If you're planning a wedding, a visit to The Rhapsody is a must—you'll be thoroughly impressed!
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!
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.
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!
The Rhapsody made everything so easy for us! Not only do they have meetings for us as often as we needed, they also provide other services such as DJ and floral. We used them for those as well and we received so many compliments on our flowers and the music/reception.
The cottage was huge which was so perfect for my larger wedding party (10) and all the moms to get ready without feeling crowded.
The games in the villa were perfect for the guys! They had so much fun hanging out while waiting on us to get ready.
For pictures, there are so many beautiful spaces that we didn’t even need to go off site to get pictures that we wanted. It made it so easy!
The decor and everything that is already part of the rhapsody made it so naturally charming that we didn’t need to add much ourselves. Everything on our day went so perfect and they are a huge reason why. I couldn’t imagine a better venue for our perfect day!

The rhapsody was perfect. They were helpful and involved throughout the planning process, they were experienced and gave great advice, and with the wedding planning meetings and day of coordinator meeting we felt more than prepared day-of. We also used Bryan as our DJ which we also highly recommend. He was so fun and kept the party going all night. Overall we had a perfect experience with the rhapsody. From getting ready in the bridal cabin to the support all throughout the night The Rhapsody staff made our wedding as stress free as it could be. Plus it’s BEAUTIFUL! Absolutely perfect for an outdoor wedding. Best decision we made for our big day was booking the rhapsody. 100% worth it and would absolutely recommend to anyone.
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!
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.

My wife and I had our wedding September 1st, 2023 and Rhapsody's was phenomenal! From the day we met Bryan Scherer, to the end of our reception, we were pleased. Beautiful venue and a very pleasant staff to work with. One staff member in particular named Sabina, is heaven sent!! Bryan is a great DJ! All of our guests have given us positive feedback as well. I recommend Rhapsody's.
Nothing but good things to say about not only the venue but the whole Rhapsody team! The day we toured the venue we fell in love ( 1st & only venue tour )!
Bryan just kept growing on us, his knowledge of any/all things wedding related is just mind blowing , perks he’s a BA DJ too! Our day could not have went any smoother, they literally take care of everything!!!
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.
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.
HIGHLY, Highly recommend The Rhapsody! The staff here are just amazing. The team here is very professional but at the same time, not uptight. Easy-going personalities, and lots of laughter.
Compared to other venues, you get way more amenities in your wedding package at reasonable prices. We celebrated our wedding on June 2nd, 2023, and I am still on a wedding high. Our family & friends continue to express how beautiful the venue/ wedding decorations were.
Bryan is a fun DJ! Use him. He has the perfect DJ voice, lol. Andrea and Holly, thank you for coordinating/ planning our wedding so beautifully.
You will not regret using this wedding for your special day! 🩷

We so much appreciate this review Kanetha! It was an honor playing a role in your wedding day!! We wish you and Tayro a lifetime of happiness!! 💙
There are probably not enough words to describe how awesome The Rhapsody is!!! From the moment you walk in the door for your tour to the moment you get your final email from them, you are treated like family and as if your wedding is the most important one. The venue is nothing short of beautifully spectacular!! Bryan, Amanda, Sabina, Holly and everyone else were so helpful and very responsive with any questions we may have had. We used Bryan, the in-house Rhapsody DJ and let me just say that every single one of our guest thought he was simply amazing!!! He knew what kind of night we wanted and delivered above and beyond!!
I would highly recommend The Rhapsody - Wedding and Reception Hall for your wedding. You will not be disappointed in any way!!

I can’t express how much thought and care everyone at The Rhapsody puts into your special day. I’m someone who stresses out about every little thing so it’s saying a lot that they made this the most stress free wedding I’ve ever heard of someone having. Even our parents were extremely impressed with how easy The Rhapsody made our lives during the wedding planning process. Holly was the best coordinator I could ask for, Andrea and Sabina were absolute magicians with bringing all of our decor and floral ideas to life, and Bryan was the best DJ we’ve experienced at any wedding we’ve been to. I can’t recommend this venue and its staff enough!

ay hi! 😁)
If you’re looking for confidence in making your wedding day special, then look no further than the all star team of the Rhapsody. We started our planning with Bryan and he gave us all the tools for success. Vendor recommendations, a thorough tour and guide to make our wedding day go off without a hitch. We then met with Andrea, and she attacked our wedding planning with a sense of urgency. She was very helpful with getting things on our checklist completed. Our photographers, Poemas De Barro said that the timeline that Andrea helped us make, was the best they had seen. For the day of the wedding we were assigned a Cordinator, Holly. Holly, took the stress of the wedding day and crushed it. She did an amazing job of handling little things, assisting the wedding party, and taking care of our vendors. Her organization skill’s definitely allowed us to enjoy our wedding day stress free! The venue was gorgeously dressed from inside and out, each table was designed according to our meetings, and no detail was left out. My feet are still sore from the amazing music that was played by our DJ Bryan, and in a nutshell, he threw it down! The Rhapsody is highly recommended and our day was very special and will be raved about for years!

The Rhapsody is a family run business and they brought us in and made us feel like part of their family! They were so attentive and caring and tended to every need we had. They were always on time and loved meeting with us as many times as we needed! Highly highly recommend getting married or having any event at the Rhapsody. They went above and beyond to care for us and make it the best day ever! Bryan also knows how to have one heck of a dance party as DJ. Lovely people and a beautiful day!

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!!

Staff are so friendly and treat their couples like family. They take pride in their work and share their joy in a well-designed day. Sabina made a bridal bouquet so excellent as to make this mother of the groom get teary eyed and Brian fills the dance floor with not-to-be-missed music. The monthly meetings make the planning easy, organized, and stress free. Do not miss them! This venue and staff made our celebration absolutely wonderful 💕🎉

Thank you so much for the kind words Richelle! It was our pleasure being a part of your family's big day. We wish you all the absolute best!! 💙
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!

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 th...
e future. Please come back for anniversary photos and to just say hi!
With love,
The Scherer's
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 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.

Thank you so much for the kind words, Kourtney. It was a pleasure being a part of your special day. We wish you and Josh a lifetime of love and happiness!
The Rhapsody.....
Where do I begin? You guys were amazing throughout the entire experience! Our wedding day was kind of hectic but you all worked to make everything so simple and an evening that we will never forget!
Bryan was amazing from the first time we met him for looking at the venue. Worked with our work schedule to make sure that we had everything in order and in place for the wedding day. He also was amazing during the reception as the DJ and when I say that we were dancing the enitre time and the reception was lit, that was an understatement. Thank you for keeping the party rocking all night.
I just want to tell everyone that plans to book them as a venue, you will love the family oriented staff and they will go hell and back to make sure your day is the best day and you will not have to worry about anything.
Thank you again for creating a memory that will always be with us. Forever and ever.
Love,
Allison and Dre Clark

From the moment I walked into this venue, I knew it was the one I had to get married at. The atmosphere was the most stunning I’ve ever seen. From the moment my husband & I booked The Rhapsody, Bryan & Rita were always available to answer all of my questions….& I had a lot of them! Never once did they make me feel like I was being a burden, they just wanted to make sure our special day was perfect, & it was! We got married on a Friday so they allowed us an extra hour on Thursday (rehearsal day) to set up decorations that we were bringing in since we did not go with a center piece package & rather provided our own. This helped so much as we didn’t have to worry about decorating on the day of.
Wedding day I felt was a breeze! Everything went according to plan & it was perfect.
I believe our only downfalls were the fact that the wrong song was played not only once but twice for when my husband walked down the aisle. When my husband said it was the wrong song, Bryan argued that it was the correct one. I do believe my husband, who picked the song, would know if it was the correct one or not. No apology was ever given.
The other downfall is having to have every single thing out of the bridal cottage by 3/3:30pm. Unless you keep all of your stuff in one spot & clean up as you go, with 12+ people in the cottage, it’s almost impossible. So it was very stressful on myself & my family/friends to have to rush rush rush to get everything out of there. It would be nice to designate an extra person (friend or family member) to go in an clean up during the reception once the more important parts are over. That way things aren’t forgotten in the rush of things & the mothers/bridal party don’t have to focus on that & just get to enjoy the day.
I am still giving The Rhapsody a 5 star because they truly were amazing & no venue is absolutely perfect. Everyone has their flaws & makes mistakes & we learn from them & only get better.
My husband & I highly highly recommend The Rhapsody! They are forever family to us!
Everything was amazing from start to finish with this menu. Amazing staff, beautiful venue I highly recommend the price is amazing as well.
I had the absolute worst experience with this vendor. All my other vendors were phenomenal, but working with the Rhapsody was a nightmare. It’s been almost two months since my wedding day and I still can’t figure out how they have such good reviews on the knot.
During the tour to look at the venue, Bryan said they would be able to add different colors of napkins and sashes if I couldn’t find any I liked. When planning came around I was told their prices were going to go up soon so I should send in a check for any decorations I was going to have them do. I sent in a check for chair sashes assuming I’d be able to get the colors I wanted as I was told this during the tour. I got with Rita about the colors I was wanting and she wasn’t timely with her emails due to being in the hospital and so I got with Bryan. He said they wouldn’t be doing that and acted like I was unreasonable. I was willing to purchase them myself and let them add them to their collection, because I didn’t want my family to have to decorate. I ended up ordering my own sashes and table runners as their colors are old and out dated. I told Rita I was disappointed in how this interaction was handled and she let me have their decorator steam and put the chair sashes on but the whole encounter was still super frustrating and stressful. I asked for a refund for the money I paid for their chair sashes and I didn’t receive the check until almost two months after my wedding. She supposedly sent it twice, but when I suggested she get tracking, she never did. The biggest kicker of all this is the fact that they wanted to buy my chair sashes from me after the wedding.
They don’t work with people who are coming from out of town. They weren’t helpful in working with us for appointments or zoom meetings
They assigned a day of coordinator with less than 2 weeks until the wedding. We were told a coordinator would be assigned early July and it was July 27th when one was assigned and I had to ask for her to be assigned.
House DJ Bryan backed out after a year of having him booked and didn’t give an explanation and then giggled about it during one of the final meetings.
Requirements in the contract that didn’t seem like they would matter or be a big deal, but actually ended mattering and being a pain. For example, the cottage doesn’t open until 8am, so if you have a big bridal party you won’t have enough time to get all the girls hair and makeup done before the ceremony start and still do a first look and pictures beforehand.
Bryan verbally recommended Brancatos during the tour and then acted like he would never have recommended them and acted as if I was lying.
The roles on who does what is very confusing. I talked with 3 different people who ran the venue and none of them communicated with each other so it made planning a nightmare.
I was on my bachelorette party the weekend before the wedding and told her I’d be busy and unavailable Thursday-Sunday because of it and to call my fiancé with questions. She didn’t call him and called me Sunday as I was in the airport trying to get home. This was 6 days before my wedding and the stuff she was calling me about should have been discussed before hand with my coordinator if they had assigned one when they were supposed to.
Definitely would not recommend this venue and would give them 0 stars if I could.
Response from the Vendor on 09/27/2022
Dear Stevee and Grant,
I am very sorry to read through your review with so many sad memories from your wedding two months ago in early August. When you booked the venue back in January of 2021 we were so excited and looking forward to helping ...
with your big day on August 6th, 2022. Right up through August 6th we did our best to make your wedding day all you dreamed it would be. It was a beautiful wedding and everything went well that day. I'm so sorry for your despair and negative memories that cloud out your joy.
We discovered back in December of 2021 that Bryan would be out of town on August 6th, 2022 and would not be able to be your DJ. Bryan felt bad about having to cancel, so he found another DJ and lined him up to do your wedding. Bryan wanted to make sure he did the legwork back in December, so you would not be burdened with finding his replacement. This was 8 months before your wedding.
There were many things going on in our family in the past year that you were unaware of. This made for a difficult year for our family business. My mother passed away unexpectedly in October of 2021. Her death impacted my health. The added stress of being responsible for her bills, papers, going through her personal belongings one by one,..the business of being trustee of the estate since October 2021, has been overwhelming. I soon found myself diagnosed with hypertension which led to being in and out of the hospital. It was at this time that you were searching for that particular shade of pink chair tie and napkin color. If I had been well enough to help you, I would have gone through a brick wall to do so.
After you found the chair tie color you were wanting, I bought the chair ties from you, so you would not have to spend your own money. On the day of your wedding I hired an extra crew to iron and put your chair ties on the chairs. We did this at our expense, so your family would not have to do it on the morning of your wedding. I knew they were coming from out of town and we did everything we could to make things easier for you and your family.
We hired a full time assistant in the spring. This full time person has been at the building every day from 8:00am to 4:00pm since early April. There are several other helpers that do various jobs, but anyone you met with or spoke to would have passed your information on to me or Bryan. I regret if you felt we were not communicating well. We definitely work to make sure no details are missed. We met for your floor plan in June and everything seemed to go well at that meeting. Our coordinators always meet with our couples one to two weeks ahead of the wedding. I personally call every bride the week before the wedding to ensure every detail is in place. I double check your guest count to make sure it has not changed and to make sure we have the correct number of tables/linens needed. Then on Monday morning I place your linen order. I am sorry I called during your bachelorette weekend. If I had known, I would have made arrangements to talk with you earlier in the week. I did not want to bother Grant with questions that he might not be able to answer. Once the linens are ordered we cannot add or subtract tables.
Opening the dressing areas at 8:00am gives most couples 6-8 hours of dressing time. With your ceremony starting at 4:30, you had 8 hours in the dressing area on the day of your wedding.
Your caterer, Brancatos also owns the linen company that we use. They have many colors to choose from, but occasionally we do run into not quite the right shade, which is what happened with your pink. There are other companies in town, but they are much more expensive and difficult to work with. This is what Bryan was trying to explain when you met with him several months before the wedding. We have a wonderful relationship with Brancatos and welcome them anytime to our venue.
I wish you would have allowed me to add your $165.00 refund to the damage deposit, which is how we usually handle refunds. If we had handled it the way I suggested, the full refund would have arrived the week after your wedding in one check. But you insisted that I mail it immediately, before your wedding day. I'm sorry the check did not arrive in the mail, but that was out of my control. I offered to drive a replacement check to Manhattan, Kansas and give it to you personally. I also offered to drive to Shawnee, Kansas and give it to your mother.
The reason we get many five star reviews is because we care. We are always trying to improve and make The Rhapsody a beautiful place to get married. We do everything within our power to make sure every couple who books at The Rhapsody has the wedding of their dreams. We love each couple, as if they were our own family. It is personal to us. We loved you too, Stevee and it hurts us deeply to read your review. I'm sorry you did not feel our love. We will definitely try harder to be a light in the darkness.
Sincerely
Rita
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.
Me and my husband have nothing but great things to say about the Rhapsody 💕. They made it so easy to plan our big day on top of making it so easy and smooth to enjoy everything on our actually wedding day. Everyone there is so sweet and involved in the wedding planning process. The day of the wedding it was not supposed to rain until 7pm. Our ceremony was outdoors at 4:30, around 3:30ish maybe even later it began to rain and they had to move everything under the covered patio (which was still beautiful). It was minimal stress to us and they handled the change so well. We got so many compliments on the venue and how beautiful everything was. We highly recommend the Rhapsody and their staff. 💕
P.S. the photo booth is so much fun!! Definitely recommended getting this during your wedding. & 100% recommend Bryan to DJ! He did absolutely amazing from start to finish and even captured some amazing photos of me and my husband during our night! Holly was an amazing day of coordinator and helped the day go as smooth as possible. They all really made it the night of my dreams!!
We had a great experience with the Rhapsody! We had both our ceremony and reception here. All the spaces at the Rhapsody are absolutely beautiful! The people there are extremely friendly, helpful, and low-pressure. They do all the setup, take down, and decorating, plus they provide a day-of wedding coordinator who makes sure everything runs smoothly. We also worked with Bryan, their in-house DJ. He was very fun, charismatic, and professional. He both MCed and DJed for the wedding and really worked to engage with our guests. He kept the dance floor full the entire night and helped make sure our guests had fun. Everyone at the Rhapsody helped us have the best wedding possible and all our guests had an amazing time. We highly recommend the Rhapsody!

The Rhapsody was the venue of our dreams which became a reality when we got married here in July 2022! We immediately fell in love with the beautiful garden ceremony area, the waterfall, flower wall for pictures, and gorgeous ballroom. We wanted to get married outside in a garden and this was perfect for us. Also, having the covered patio as a backup option if it rained was a relief! Having our getting-ready areas, ceremony, and reception all in the same location made it so easy for us and our guests. The fact that this is a family-owned business really made it special. We worked with Rita and Bryan (owner/mother and son) as well as Steph (day-of coordinator that they provided for us) and they were spectacular at helping us with whatever we needed. Bryan was also our DJ and we wouldn’t have wanted it any other way - love the way he mixes his music and the presence he brings! There is a Google Drive that they share with you that contains so much helpful information that we used as well. We got the centerpiece package from them where we got to design all the centerpieces and table colors and on the day of they set up AND took down all the tables - which took a load off of us and our family at the end of the night. Honestly, we will miss our meetings at the Rhapsody! We are so glad we chose The Rhapsody for our wedding and would highly recommend this venue!

When searching for a venue, the main features we looked for were having a ceremony and reception at the same venue as well as having a back up plan if it rained. We wanted an outdoor ceremony! The Rhapsody has the best rain backup plan in the Kansas City area. Luckily, it didn't rain during my ceremony and we were married outside. However, I knew if it did we could get married beneath a covered patio with a waterfall!
The venue is gorgeous and included several amenities at no extra cost, such as a flower wall, simple table decorations, table cloths, our names projected on the wall, floral decorations in the reception area and a day of coordinator. Rita, Bryan and Steph were the dream team! They worked with me to complete our vision and were extremely proactive in their communication! Also, Rita, provided advice based on her experience in the wedding industry!
We did have a small hiccup of air condition issues in the bridal cottage. However, they quickly brought in fans and helped work through the issue.
Bryan was our DJ as well! He had about a two hour meeting prior to our wedding and discussed everything. I'm a constant song changer in the car and he made a fast mix. Our guests loved him!

As the bride I loved my experience with the Rhapsody you get so much for your budget, from the coordinater, chairs and tables and set up and take down. Bryan worked with me so much to help plan the details of my wedding and our coordinater Holly was amazing at keeping everything on track and taking care of things for us! She also did well at accept my high maintenance type A personality. We did a decoration floral package with the rhapsody and it was honestly a steal for what we got and it was amazingly beautiful. They have so many resources they let you use such as stands for our welcome signs and we used their big connect 4 and corn holl! They were super flexible with my payment schedule when I couldn’t work for two weeks because of Covid. My only slightly negative experience was there being some miscommunication with payment due dates and changes in details. But overall an amazing experience!

This venue was the perfect place for our perfect day and they made it happen. This venue is family own and operated and we definitely got that treatment. We highly advise taking all of their additions and options for a wedding. We got the best floral arrangement, in-house DJ, and mirror photo booth. The florist, Rita, did all of our flowers for the day and even our wedding party flowers and boquet. Everything was perfect and exactly what we were wanting! She worked through how we wanted it set up, how we wanted our archway to be decorated, and even more! The in-house DJ, Brian, is one of the best we have ever seen. We have now been to a few weddings and none come close to him! Many of our friends and family thought he was amazing and would want him at theirs. The mirror photo booth was also amazing. Many of our guests used it and we can easily go through those photos. It was so cool and easy to use for our guests! During the planning phase, all members of the venue helped us and had multiple meetings to make sure everything was correct. Overall, this family-owned venue is the best place to have your wedding! We do not regret it one bit and will always remember our perfect day. The Rhapsody made it come true for us!

The Rhapsody was a wonderful place to get married! It has several beautiful options when it comes to the location of the ceremony on the premises, you can get married at the pergola, under their patio, or indoors, so there are plenty of backup options in case weather is an issue. It almost was an issue on my wedding day, as that was probably the only thing that happened that day that I remember being upsetting (and that was not the Rhapsody’s fault, obviously!) If anything, the staff at the Rhapsody handled the situation wonderfully. Bryan was our planner from the beginning and knew I was really dreaming of getting married in front of the pergola with that diamond curtain. The weather wasn’t ideal, it was 45 and chilly with some snow flakes. My girls weren’t dressed to be in the cold, but everyone convinced me that the guests and our wedding party would be fine spending 20 mins outside for the ceremony. Everyone waited inside until about 5 mins before the start, and we were all back into the reception hall quickly and warmed up. I’m so happy our day-of coordinator (Kaci), Bryan, and our Photographer (who is a longtime vendor of the Rhapsody) Angela Shipps convinced me that the outdoor ceremony was the best bet.
Bryan was our in-house DJ, and did a great job keeping everyone engaged and kept the party going all night. He played all the music we wanted (and left out some we specifically asked him NOT to play) and he was very attentive to how we were doing all night. All transitions were smooth between all the first dances/games/open dance floor. The only feedback we’ve heard from our guests is there were some songs they had suggested that he didn’t play. There’s probably not one DJ that has every song that anyone can think of - so I would only suggest to keep working on broadening your library!
Overall, the planning process went smoothly for the most part. As with anything, make sure you keep a good line of communication open and know what exactly comes with what package and don’t be scared to clarify when it comes to what you’ll have to pay extra for. They suggest amazing vendors as well, we used Hy-Vee for our flowers/cake/catering and it was so easy! They were wonderful. Top Shelf was amazing as well, the bartender was a hit, and she was so accommodating to me and my husband. Thank you Rhapsody for a wonderful wedding!!!
I was completely blown away by our experience at the Rhapsody. Rita and her team made everything from booking to planning even the tiniest details of our ceremony and reception easy and stress-free. We started searching for venues rather early in the process (started planning Summer of 2020, got married in December 2021) because we were worried about the effect COVID would have on availability. The gang at the Rhapsody were fantastic about working with us to find a date in the time frame we wanted and then ensuring we had all of the important planning dates and information along the way. The information you receive when you book, as well as the information you receive in your Google Drive is incredibly helpful to help with your decisions and planning process. I really can't say enough about how easy Rita and her team made planning our wedding. It was virtually stress-free.
Our day-of-coordinator, Stephanie, was a gem. She made sure we were able to see my vision for the ceremony come to life and it was stunning. She was super patient with all of my questions, and most importantly, she made sure I didn't have to worry about a thing the day of the wedding.
I highly recommend adding on one of the flower packages. You'd be hard-pressed to match the Rhapsody's price at a different vendor and Rita does a beautiful job with the flower arrangements. Plus, it frees you up from worrying about coordinating with yet another vendor, or about setting up / tearing down those decorations yourself the day of the ceremony. I unfortunately can't speak to the in-house DJ because we ended up using a different DJ service for the reception. This isn't a reflection on Bryan at all, we simply got lucky a few weeks before booking The Rhapsody and locked in an unbeatable deal with a different DJ. The Rhapsody team made it super easy for our DJ to set up and operate, though.

We loved working with you on this important day! Thank you for your five star review! Everyone at The Rhapsody wishes you a long, happy life together!
I highly recommend this venue. The staff was extremely friendly and very professional. The DJ did an amazing job. The wedding coordinator Stephanie was so sweet and did great keeping my wedding party in line, and trust me that wasn’t easy. Miss Rita went above and beyond to execute my vision and she actually exceeded my expectations! I thank them from the bottom of my heart I can’t think of one issue that I had other than me forgetting to put my veil over my face! Other than that the night was absolutely perfect and I constantly keep playing it over and over again in my head the venue was so clean And the outside bar was a really good addition we didn’t have to worry about any bugs either so that was a plus as well.

Thank you for the five star review! Wishing you a long, happy life together!
This venue is amazing. From the ownership and staff, to the event space and decor options, they impressed me at every level. I had my wedding/reception there on 8/14/21 and it was the most magical day and I have to give The Rhapsody credit for a lot of that! From the very beginning, Rita and Bryan (owners) worked directly with my husband and I on wedding prep details and planning. They covered every aspect of our special day (area for the ceremony, decor, music, schedule, vendors, etc.) and made sure we had a plan for everything and all of our questions were answered. They allowed us to meet with them numerous times and they even hosted workshops throughout the year to help couples preparing for their special day. Our wedding was originally planned for 8/8/20, but with COVID really on the rise then, Rita and Bryan allowed us to push out our date for no additional cost. They were very accommodating and understanding. We used Rita for our centerpieces by purchasing one of their special packages and she did a great job! They were so beautiful. We also used Bryan as our DJ and he really helped get the party started and keep it going all night long! All in all, if you're looking for a beautiful venue (pergola, covered patio, reception hall), great ownership and staff, help coordinating your special day, and a real good time, The Rhapsody is the place for you! I'd recommend them to anyone! Thank you for making my day so beautiful, I'll never forget it! ❤️

Can't thank the owners and workers enough my daughters reception was here and was so wonderful. Had so many compliments. It's pretty place it's elegant classy. They have a beautiful outdoor covered huge patio with bar for our cocktail hour and people could go outside and inside. If your looking for a pretty venue check it out! Thanks Rita, Brian and Stephanie. Also Brian is a DJ too and does awesome work at that'

The Rhapsody and I will say this over and over, is truly amazing. Book them, book their Dj, book their photo booth, book it all. lol. They are there to make your day every bit of special, stress free, and fun! Their space is GORGEOUS, clean, and very spacious. My husband and I can’t thank them enough for everything they done for us to make our day so perfect. 🤍

We loved every minute! Thank you for your wonderful review!
From the beginning of the touring and booking process the Rhapsody and staff were the total package! As a bride, I was looking for a space that could do both ceremony and reception within the same venue and offered a fair amount of time to have the event space. The Rhapsody has all their bases covered from custom in house decorations and flower packages, in house DJ availability, photo booth, private areas for prewedding activity, beautiful indoor/outdoor space, making it easy to "say yes" to the venue. My wedding day was a dream, I recommend the Rhapsody Event Space without hesitation.
