Wonderful Venue

My husband and I booked the Rathskeller before Covid hit and had met with the staff there a few times to tour/plan/taste food. Unfortunately we never got to have our big wedding due to covid (our decision to cancel and not postpone), but I wanted to write a review on here anyway because the Rathskeller was so wonderful to work with during that difficult time. The staff there was patient, understanding, and accommodating. The people that work there are good people and it was a huge weight off our shoulders knowing we could trust them. Even though we did not go through with our big wedding, they are first on our list to call if we ever host any type of event.

Wedding Reception

This venue is seriously beautiful. Don’t even remember how I came across this venue one day while searching for a place to have my wedding reception, but I am so glad I did. They are so easy to work with and answer any questions you may have in a timely manner. The venue is the perfect size and the dance floor is big enough for everyone attending to be able to dance the night away. The food is delicious and the service during the reception was very quick and on time. I loved everything about this venue and would highly recommend.

We had to move the date of our wedding up due to unfortunate circumstances, and they worked with us to schedule everything within a matter of a couple months. Brooke was an amazing contact, and even when we had a miscommunication she was overly accommodating and made sure everything went smoothly. We had a small wedding and a small budget, and everything managed to fit into that nicely. Chloe was an amazing hostess and kept everything in line the day of, and Michael the bartender was a delight. We couldn't have asked for a better experience in a more unique and beautiful venue for our wedding. And after all was said and done, we were able to go downstairs and hang out in the Biergarten for a while, which is a built-in afterparty!

We had our rehearsal dinner at The Rathskeller and everything was great. The food and drinks were amazing. The way the rooms were set up were just beautiful. The whole thing was planned by my FIL who lives in New Jersey and communication via email and phone calls were excellent.

We had our rehearsal dinner in the Vonnegut Room at the Rathskeller. The event staff at the Rathskeller are amazing. They made us a customized menu for our rehearsal dinner that was our wedding colors and even had a picture of us on it. The food was delicious and the service was great. I will definitely be using the Rathskeller in the future for events I may plan!

The Rathskeller was the perfect option for us for rehearsal dinner. We are craft beer lovers and they had a great selection with a private room. We got to pick our menu and when we arrived they were personalized for us including our wedding colors. The meal was amazing and the service was great. I'm sure having the actual wedding reception there would be just as good as they did a fabulous job on our rehearsal dinner.

We used the ladies sitting room for our wedding reception and could not have been happier with the services provided. Tiffany was our wedding coordinator, and she was wonderful and helpful with us planning our reception. Everything went smoothly without any issues. We appreciated the staff's help, and they were wonderful throughout. We were always told that the Rathskeller was expensive, but we looked at a lot of different options, and we feel that they are reasonably priced for the area and what you get.
