    All around stellar venue

    I’m in love with our wedding day! Full service, awesome coordinators, bar staff, servers that are efficient. The whole wedding went so smooth! Anything that may have gone wrong, I don’t know about, which is the way you want it right? We had our ceremony at the venue and people sat at their tables. Lots of comments about how awesome it was to grab a drink and have a spot to sit to watch. Then, no commute to a reception. The food is to die for. The space looks like a regular hall at first, but they put up tule and lights and backdrops (for a reasonable fee) and bam the place is sparkling. There is a private outdoor space with tables and a large fire pit. They have a restaurant attached so you can go check out the food and vibe, which was cool. We had such a fun wedding! I am so happy we had it at Rockwoods!

    Excellent Venue

    From the booking and planning process, they made it very easy and stress free. They were there to answer any questions we had. Come the wedding day, they handled everything perfectly. The food was awesome and they were so fun to work with! I would highly recommend them as a venue.

    Best day ever

    We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Rockwoods and neither can our guests! From start to finish they were so helpful and easy to work with. We dropped all our decorations off Friday and they set it up beautifully and then cleaned it all up when it was over. It was two less things we had to stress about. The food was delicious and responsibly priced. We have received so many compliments about the food and the service from our guests. We highly recommend going with Rockwoods for your wedding, you won’t regret it!

    Absolutely amazing!

    Rockwoods was so amazing to work with. From the coordinators to the bartenders everyone was awesome. We could trust Rockwoods to have everything set up and under control. They had everything perfect! I couldn’t have asked for a better reception. We had so many guests commenting on how great the food & dessert was! Rockwoods had its own patio which was great and a hotel right across the parking lot which was so convenient. I would recommend them a million times over. Amazing staff and venue!

    Amazing experience - felt like royalty!

    Rockwoods is absolutely amazing! They take care of EVERYTHING and created a stress free environment for our wedding day!

    All staff is extremely personal, caring, considerate, and fun! I could not imagine hiring anyone else for our special day.

    We received so many comments from wedding guests about how great the venue looked and how fantastic the staff is at Rockwoods.

    Rockwoods made me and my husband feel like royalty on our special day! Everything went so smooth and they made amazing suggestions! They helped me figure out what centerpieces should look like, took care of the decorating for the cake table, and suggested starting the wedding later when there was an accident and guests were running late.

    This place is worth every single penny and I HIGHLY recommend them I’d you’re looking for a stress-free, fun wedding day. Hiring them was one of the best decisions we made!

    Rockwoods's reply:

    Lisa, thank you so much for the glowing review! You and Andy were a joy to work with!! We are so grateful that you chose us to host your big day ❤

    Wedding on June 11th

    Rockwoods is amazing! Our wedding was as beautiful as we could have imagined. I’m a very detail-oriented person and I appreciate that they do several meetings leading up to your date to help make sure that everything is in order. They also do all of the set-up and tear-down, which our families very much appreciated. Everything went so smoothly and the coordinators worked everything out beautifully. We had a smaller ceremony in the Four Seasons room, a bigger reception in the full Woods and Prairie room, and rehearsal dinner in the Four Seasons room the night before. They offer many decorations like centerpieces complimentary and it is very affordable to rent their other decorations. We couldn’t have found a better place in this price range.

    Rockwoods's reply:

    Troy, thank you so much for your wonderful review! You and Sarah were so lovely to work with. Congrats to you Newlyweds!

    Excellent service, venue, food - very reasonable price!

    Rockwoods handled my daughter's wedding reception beautifully! Every interaction with staff leading up to the event was very pleasant, and on the big day they took care of everything so we had to worry about nothing! Many guests commented on the delicious food and I would not hesitate to recommend this venue to anyone. Their prices are very reasonable, especially for all the personal attention you get. Fantastic!

    Rockwoods's reply:

    Laura, thank you so much for your review! It was an absolute pleasure to work with you, Kaylin, and Robert, and I'm thrilled everyone had such a great time!

    A Beautiful Venue with so many perks!

    Rockwood’s sure knows how to take care of their guest! Best Wedding Venue!! They deserve 10 stars! Wedding Date: 4-3-21. The coordinators at Rockwood’s are amazing huge shout out to Lisa, Meagan, and Katie. We had to postpone our wedding 2 times due to Covid and these ladies have been so wonderful to work with. Best communication ever! They respond to emails and calls quickly! We did a plated meal that was served quick. The food was so good we are still getting compliments about it. I highly recommend the pot roast! The bartenders were knowledgeable and nice to all our guest! The venue is beautiful. All the twinkle lights really light up the room and make for pretty pictures. The venue and food cost are very reasonable too. We had Lisa as our wedding day coordinator. She went above and beyond! She made sure the day stayed on track and that things ran smoothly. They really do make everything so convenient for you and guest! 3 huge perks of getting married at Rockwood’s are 1: You can also have your ceremony there. They have indoor and outdoor options! 2: There is a hotel sharing the parking lot! 3: The biggest perk of all… We literally were able to drop off all our decorations 2 days in advance and they set up everything for you!! They also have a lot of beautiful decorations of theirs you can use. Then when the weddings over you can just leave and go to your hotel or next destination. They do all the cleanup for you! They box up your decorations, and you pick them up 1-3 days later. This was great for us. We have been to so many weddings where you see the families all cleaning up an hour before the wedding ends. Who needs that stress!?! We loved our wedding at Rockwood’s and highly recommend it to everyone. Great atmosphere, tasty food, very reasonable prices, and stress-free.

    Rockwoods's reply:

    Thank you so much Michelle!! You were an absolute pleasure to work with! :) We're so glad everything went so well.

    A Beautiful September Wedding

    Rockwood made what should have been a very stressful and detailed event very easy and without any problems. I wanted our wedding to be a simple, but elegant gathering where our friends and family could come and be part of our special day.

    We were able to celebrate and could not have asked for better service. From the appetizers, to elegant decorations to the officiant who was able to capture who my husband and I are to perform a beautiful ceremony.

    When I had needed Rockwood to be nimble at the last minute, folding in a special prayer at my request a day before our ceremony, they were able to accommodate this beautifully.

    After the ceremony and dinner, the staff at Rockwood continued to work hard throughout the evening to provide ongoing service to our guests, so that we had to worry about nothing. Our friends and relatives had a wonderful time and it was one of the most stress free evenings I have ever had.

    Thank you Rockwood. I would recommend you over and over and over again.

    Rockwoods's reply:

    It was such a pleasure to work with you both! You make a stunning couple and it was an honor to host you for your special day.

    Wishing we could relive our amazing day over and over again at the Rockwoods!

    Having our wedding at the Rockwoods was the best decision we made while planning our wedding! They were so helpful, kind, patient, and flexible during these strange times. Having the wonderful event coordination staff help us along the way took an unbelievable amount of stress off of our shoulders. The wedding and reception was amazing and beautiful. Cannot recommend them enough to other couples looking for a beautiful, affordable, accommodating venue.

    Overall it was a fantastic place to have a wedding reception.
    Nothing to worry about - just have fun.

    Easy and Stress Free Venue

    Rockwoods is the best value out there. You get so much for what you pay for - they are reasonably priced and forward about their pricing. It includes a day of coordinator who makes sure everything happens as it should. We got to completely enjoy our day because they took care of everything - no one from our family or friends had to set up or tear down anything! Not to mention Rockwoods has endless inventory of items you can choose for decorations so there's no need to buy 200+ of something you will never use again.

    Our gets raved about how good the food was. It came out hot and very quickly so no one was sitting there hungry. We live in the are and the banquet food as just as good and fresh as what you would order in the restaurant!

    Katie and team were amazing to work with. They are all positive energetic and knowledgeable. Thank you for helping to make our wedding day perfect!

    Rockwoods's reply:

    Allie, thank you so so much for your wonderful review! It was an absolute pleasure to host you and Blaec for your big today. We do take pride in being a one-stop-shop, and all of our coordinators had so much fun working with the two of you!

    Rockwoods team does such an amazing job with ensuring all the details are covered and at helping make such a wonderful day an everlasting memory. The way their team was able to use my decor along with Rockwoods decor to create such a beautiful place was amazing. It was everything I could have dreamed of. We had so many compliments on the food and courtesy of the staff. Thanks again for everything your team did for us from start to finish.

    Best wedding venue in town!

    We started to shop around wedding venues about a year ago before our wedding day and found Rockwoods through different website recommendations. Before meeting with the team, we had dinner at the Rockwoods restaurant and tried their dinner options. The food turned out to be amazingly tasteful!

    The next day, we made an appointment and met with their manager/wedding coordinator. At this point, we had no idea about our wedding details except for the wedding theme. Katie patiently went over the whole wedding process and even told us that they could make it like a fancy wedding with just a list of guests if we don't have a detailed plan. After the first appointment, they even provided a wedding planning checklist, which turned out to be really helpful!

    Throughout the whole planning phase, they periodically checked in with us to make sure everything was in place. A few days before our big day, there were a few changes in our guest list, but everything went perfectly with their help and accommodations.

    We brought our own wedding decorations and tags, and the staff decorated the whole place perfectly just as we planned and collected everything for us at the end of the event. That alone saved us a lot of time and effort and gave us peace of mind.

    Luckily, they also have an officiant service and we had the pleasure to have Katie as our officiant! The ceremony went smoothly with laughter and emotional moments. We loved it, our family couldn't stop thinking about it, and many of our guests kept say it was one of the best and most beautiful wedding ceremonyies they've been to.

    In addition to their superb wedding service, one big reason that we chose Rockwoods is that they have great relationships with other wedding venues (like Mid West Sound DJ), and all the great service comes into one single bill. One-stop shopping. We are amazed by the quality of the DJ and the wedding cakes!! (We just sent the design of the wedding cake we want, and they made exactly the perfect cake!)

    All of our guests were impressed by the ceremony and reception services they received (food, drinks, etc.), but also had a fantastic time with the entertainment that the DJ provided. Also, the photo booth (part of DJ package) was a big hit!

    If you are from around and looking for a great place to have your beautiful wedding and entertain your guests, then look no further. Great food, fantastic service, helpful staff, and more with an affordable price. We can't recommend highly enough of Rockwoods as your wedding venue!

    Rockwoods's reply:

    Hu, thank you SO much for your thoughtful review! It was an absolute pleasure to host you and Tom for your special day. We really pride ourselves in offering a one-stop-shop for all things wedding, so we are thrilled to see that you had such a wonderful time!

    100% recommend Rockwoods!

    I came to the Rockwoods anxious and nervous about our wedding after having talked with other venues. This place was different. They took my sketchy plans and helped me explore options and choose the wedding day of our dreams - not theirs! I felt personally connected to the Event Organizer staff after our first meeting! Our classy, small wedding and reception took place in their beautiful Four Seasons room with a fireplace and overlooking a garden patio- perfect for pictures. We choose the Pot Roast meal that was SO delicious! Servers and our coordinator were smiling, kind and helpful to all, from elderly to 1 year old! Definitely a professional 5 star day!

    Rockwoods's reply:

    Thank you, Joanne, for your thoughtful review! It was always a pleasure meeting with you to help plan your day, and meeting your lovely family the day of your wedding was the icing on the cake. We wish you and Dave lots and lots of years of happiness together!

    Extremely Easy!!!

    Best venue a bride could ask for! These ladies are so great to work with and made things extremely easy! I could enjoy my day without having to look at my watch, they took care of everything. Plus my guests could not stop raving about the food! Normally at weddings the food can get cold, not here. This food tasted gourmet and was hot/fresh! I highly recommend this place to anyone for any event :)

    Groom/MR.Eull

    My wife and I just had our wedding ceremony and reception at Rockwoods on March 23rd 2019 and it was amazing!! Rockwoods blew it out of the water! We had 250 guests, and they do it all for you so the bride and groom and parents don’t have the stress or headache of all the planning and behind the scenes work that goes into a big/small wedding! Katie does an outstanding job with the ceremony, with professionalism but yet religious but also relaxed. Also she personalizes it to the bride and groom.. we had so many come up to us and say how they loved our ceremony, and the vows! And we’re like um Katie did it all you just answer a questionaire and she customized it to the bride and groom. But most importantly the food and drinks service and taste was out of this world. So many compliments from all the guest saying how great their food was, and how timely the bartenders were! Hands down well worth the money to have Rockwoods host your wedding, because they take care of the decorations, food, booze, and entertainment, all with a smile and friendly staff!
    We can’t thank Katie, Laurie, Kelly and the rest of the Rockwoods staff for all of your help you guys are amazing!

    Rockwoods Staff is Excellent

    The Rockwoods staff were great to work with! They made planning the wedding so easy and fun! They are very helpful and anything you wanted done for your big day was accomplished by the amazing team!! The best part was they did all the set up and teardown and you didn’t have to worry about it on the day of the wedding! You could fully enjoy your day with no stress! I would highly recommend this venue!
