I kept getting asked where I found him! He made the reception and dinner and... Read More 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.

The Rhapsody provides a beautiful outdoor ceremony and indoor reception and catering set up. The rental price is more reasonable than any hall I've researched and you would have thought the rental price would be much pricier than what is offered. Additionally, this venue is a... Read More 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.
