I didn't go through TOC for my wedding reception. I did however meet with one of the wedding planners- lets just say she wasn't very friendly. I asked about the policy regarding children's meals- they do not offer any kind of options for children AND to make matters worse- they charge FULL PRICE for any child that can walk! $18.65!! Then when I asked about the $7/guest unlimited wine/beer/pop deal- she said I would be paying $7/ person INCLUDING children! (Even though they have a $1.25/ guest unlimited pop option.) Why would anyone pay $18.65 for food and $7.00 for pop for children! I can see maybe children over 12... but any child that can walk?!?!

I would strongly suggest that all brides stay as far away from this place and their staff for any future reception or wedding events. Their staff are rude and demeaning. The owner takes your money and doesn't budge on helping you out on your special day. Please be advised, once they take your money, everything else is down hill. This is unfortunate considering their outside gazebo looks good, but from the other reviews they don't keep that up and looking great either.

Our ceremony and reception were both held at this location and it is a BEAUTIFUL location. We were married in the gazebo behind the reception hall so it was secluded even though it sits on a busy highway. The food was delicious, the hall was beautifully decorated, and they provide ALMOST everything. It was so nice to not worry about linens, the silverware, the cake tables, archways, they provide all of those things...and they were beautifully decorated. She even created the menus especially for us with our names and our wedding colors encorporated. It was the best day and a BIG part of that is due to them. The staff was very nice and professional. However. FYI. The manager is not one to sugar coat. She may come off as a little rude but that's just her way. She was still very helpful the entire day. She's just not nicey nice. Another thing we were a little upset about since we didnt find out until the day of...they dont wash the gazebo down. There I am standing in my WHITE dress on a dirty gazebo. We would've washed it had we know they werent going to-all they do is blow the leaves off.

So, not too many complaints. And again, I would highly recommend this location to anyone...just be aware she wont be kissing your...

A Touch of Class did a fantastic job for my wedding reception. It was decorated beautifully and the people there are very helpful. My wedding was the weekend after the floods in Cedar Rapids and they were very accommodating. Thanks.

WOW!! I cannot say enough great things about our experience at A Touch Of Class. From the ceremony in the amazing gazebo, to the awsome food, every detail was handled by them. The staff was overly accomodating from booking to the end of the night when they helped us pack up our gifts and sent us home with leftovers. (Was just as good the next day!) They set up all the white chairs in front of the gazebo and set up the sound system too, all we had to do is bring our playlist and hit play, and we got a great discount for having the ceremony and the wedding there. It only cost $300.00 to get married in the gazebo and get all the setup and clean up. The grounds were exceptionally clean as well as the gazebo area. We would do it all over again tomorrow. After the ceremony we went insde to our banquet room and had an amazing meal followed by an equally great wedding cake that their pastry chef created from a picture my wife brought in. Definitely have them do your cake, you wont be dissappointed.
After checking the other venues in town it was really an easy decision. A Touch Of Class provided the most value for the money by far. We spent about $2,700 less than if we would have had it at either of the hotels. And they set up for free shuttles at the end of the night. That worked perfect for our out of town guests staying at the hotel with us and people we did not want to drink and drive. If you are considering A Touch of Class for your wedding, don't hesitate--Celebrate!!!!

A Touch of Class worked well for convenience because they had both a ceremony and reception venue, and also provided all the catering and beverage service and the necessary extras. The food was good, there was ample parking and space everywhere, and it was pretty convenient for our guests to get to.
My complaints were at times it didn't seem like managers were on the same page or didn't know what they were talking about, and I felt I had to be extra-assertive to nail down the essentials. Also we weren't able to sample any food ahead of time and even on our wedding day I had to be on my toes to make sure things were placed in the right spot. Also, the food was a little pricey for what we ordered.
Overall though, the staff did try to make sure everything was done right, even though they had a couple mis-steps along the way they did try. I think they need to work with someone on making sure things are classy- i.e. cleaning the gazebo so it's clear of leaves, bug remnants, and paraphernalia from weddings the weekend before, using professional wording on menus, and just some other things that were a little tacky that I had to point out to get fixed. Also some of my friends from out of town made fun of the name because in their city, A Touch of Class is a strip joint.

The one good thing I will say about TOC is they have a beautiful outside area for a wedding. Other than that I have nothing good to say. While planning our wedding the people I dealt with had me in tears a few different times because they were so rude! We wanted things done a bit differently then what they have done in the past and they couldn't seem to handle that. If you do book a party or reception here, make sure there's not another party booked in the room downstairs ... we had people come up from the other party and ask us to keep it down, at our wedding reception!! To me that's something the people at TOC should have handled, but they never did...my husband had to. One last thing, please make sure you keep track of how many kegs you go thru... they will deceive you on how much you have been thru, so you have to buy another keg.
