AJ's is great, being located in the center of downtown Rapid with lots of options for dining and entertainment for guests around it. They have their own caterer and the staff is friendly and AWESOME to work with. Finding them was a huge relief, as it was all in one: ceremony, reception, and catering. They have an impressive number of options for food, as well as offering packages with the Wicked Salon and Spa nearby. They'll do set up for the reception in their ballroom as well.
