Michelle Sent on 06/09/2026Wedding Renewal for 30th Year!
From start to finish, we had a wonderful experience with all the staff and the owners of The Rhapsody.
My husband and I celebrated our 30th anniversary by renewing our vows, and this venue couldn't have been more beautiful! I waited for my groom behind the sunlit, filigree iron door with frosted glass, and we walked together to the waterfall area under the covered patio to renew our vows... it was magical!
The reception hall is a LOT bigger inside than it looks from the outside, and we had plenty of seats for our guests. We cut the cake under a beautiful chandelier, hanging from the tall ceiling that lets a lot of natural light in.
Our coordinators were amazing to work with and they helped us stay on track throughout the entire process... especially the day of our wedding. I didn't have to worry about what was, or what we needed to do next, because the staff took that pressure off my plate and kept everyone on track.
They also made accommodations for us to have a "Memory Table" for all of our original wedding items from 30 years ago! We were celebrating the life we started and moving forward with a new commitment for the next 30 years and beyond!
I cannot say enough good things about The Rhapsody, because they turned our dream into a reality, and stayed in contact with us every step of the way. If I had any questions or concerns, I always got a speedy response from either the coordinator or the owner. They were ALL a pleasure to work with and we're so grateful to make our dream into a reality at The Rhapsody.

Carissa Sent on 05/25/2026Couldn't have asked for a better wedding!
We genuinely couldn't have asked for a better team to help us with our wedding! Everyone removed so much stress off of our plates. We truly feel like we got the best bang for our buck when it comes to quality and ease. I'm most grateful that our parents could be guests on the wedding day and had minimal involvement in setting up decor, and the staff helped our parents with our personalized decor. We've had so many guests come up to us during the reception and texting us the next day saying how this has been one of the best weddings they've ever been to! Between relieving the our stress of organizing a party and creating a great guest experience, we seriously can't recommend The Rhapsody enough! -

Ashley Sent on 12/30/2025Amazing venue with professional staff!
Our wedding at The Rhapsody was better than we ever imagined! From the very first planning meeting to the big day, the team made us feel like family. The venue itself is stunning—we chose the outdoor ceremony under the pergola near the landscaped waterfall, which provided a breathtaking backdrop for our photos.
The best part was the all-inclusive experience. They handled everything: the florist, decorations, linens, and even a day-of coordinator (shoutout to Amanda, Andrea)!) who ensured every detail was perfect. Having the dual on-site dressing suites made our morning so relaxing and convenient for the whole bridal party.
Lastly, you HAVE to book the owner, Bryan, as your DJ. His energy is unmatched; our dance floor was packed all night, and our guests haven't stopped talking about how much fun they had and how well executed the day was. If you're looking for a beautiful, stress-free, and high-energy celebration in the Kansas City area, book The Rhapsody!" -

Tyler Sent on 11/16/2025The Rhapsody is a dream venue and the best, most professional people to work with.
My wife, (Kendra), and I just had our wedding here and it was better than we could have ever imagined. First off, the Rhapsody had planning meetings throughout the whole process from the time you pick your wedding date until the day of. The florist, resources, decorations, and everything you could imagine is supported and taken care of by the venue. Second, the owner, Bryan, was INCREDIBLE. We were privileged to have him as our DJ/MC and he made our day the most amazing memory ever. We have had more compliments on how fun and full of life our wedding was than we could have ever imagined. My wife and I recommend the Rhapsody to EVERYONE. We couldn’t be happier with the results!! -

This is an amazing venue with amazing people. We are so glad that we found this venue. They provide and handle everything, which was awesome. All you have to do is show up and get married. The Rhapsody has an amazing crew of people that take all the stress from planning and coordinating a wedding away. The venue is beautiful and was easily able to accommodate our 200 guests. The bride enjoyed the house that is available to get ready in the morning of the wedding. And the groom enjoyed the space that's provided for the men as well. There's honestly not a single thing that can be complained about when it comes to this venue, and we cannot recommend it more. If your wondering if you should book this venue, the answer is yes! You wont have any regrets, and will be thankful that you did! -

Book now, you won't regret it!
If you book with the Rhapsody, you are absolutely doing Weddings right. From the moment you are shown the venue until the very end of your wedding, they are there every step of the way making sure that all your needs are taking care of. I know it sounds cliche, but they really do feel like family. Whether it's a few years before the day, or you are just now booking for a rush wedding, know that this is best decision you could have made. My wife and I have memories that we will cherish forever, and some of them are so unique only because of the Rhapsody team. -

Alicia Sent on 10/28/2025My Dream Come True
This place was "it" from the second we stepped through the doors. They have ALL THE EXTRAs I was looking for. I needed some place that would be all-inclusive and this place was beyond my expectations. I cried the day I saw my bouquet. I cried when I saw the pergola all decorated in my colors. The took a copy photos and they made my dream come true. I thought I had EVERYTHING planned to a T and covered, but as goes all weddings - the day of was a bit messy. It rained until noon so I wasn't able to do the decorating myself, and my MOH seemed to forget her responsibilities thought the day. If it wasn't for the coordinator, Maddee - things wouldn't have been done. But she made it happen. -

We had an incredible experience getting married at the Rhapsody! The venue is beautiful, they offer so much for such a reasonable price, and the staff and service are fantastic. Highly, highly, highly recommend!! Our day went perfectly and we felt so at home and at peace! One perk that stood out to us is how much decor is included in the base price of the venue! Some venues are out here charging you for table linens, which is crazy, but no need to worry about that at the Rhapsody :) we love you Rhapsody staff!! Thank you again! God bless! -

My husband and I recently celebrated our wedding at The Rhapsody, and it was nothing short of perfect! The outdoor ceremony space was absolutely stunning, and the indoor reception was both elegant and spacious. However, what truly made our day unforgettable was the incredible staff! Every team member went above and beyond to ensure everything ran seamlessly, allowing us to enjoy every moment without worry. Their attention to detail and dedication made our big day flawless!
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful and stress-free celebration!
A special shoutout to the owner, Bryan Scherer, for his amazing DJ skills! He had us dancing non-stop, and we couldn’t have had more fun. It was truly an unforgettable experience!

The Rhapsody did an amazing job for our wedding/reception. They made everything so easy for us and helped us through all the decorations and helped keep everything organized as well. We hired their in-house DJ Bryan, and he did a fantastic job! Everyone that works at the Rhapsody is so easy to talk to and listened to our wants and opinions. They talked to us like we were family and made us truly feel like it was our day. They are a great team to work with and we would recommend them to anyone who needs a venue and a DJ. -

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Our entire experience from start to finish was absolutely exceptional. The Rhapsody is gorgeous in itself, but the staff and owners treat you like family. They walked us through every step of the planning process and made the entire thing a walk in the park. The venue includes SO much in their initial price and it was more than reasonable! We opted to pay the extra fee to have them take care of all decorating and I would do it again 100 times over. It was beautiful and their options are endless. My family and friends are still raving about how beautiful our wedding was! The staff go above and beyond in every aspect to ensure you have the best day! Our wedding planner, Andrea, was phenomenal. She guided us through every step to be sure we were more than prepared. I actually ended up with something that did not belong to us afterwards and the day I went to return it I was caught in a bad storm with tornado sirens. Without hesitation, they invited me down into their basement to ensure I was somewhere safe until it passed. The photo opportunities around the entire venue are ENDLESS. No matter where you are at the background is BEAUTIFUL! I cant recommend or thank The Rhapsody enough for everything they did to help us have the best wedding! -The Bridgford Family -

The Rhapsody went above & beyond our expectations. Everyone we worked with was friendly & exciting. They made our day easy and effortless. They have onsite housing to get ready in, a beautiful outdoor area for the ceremony and an amazing ballroom type indoor area for the reception. Provided beautiful decorations, and an amazing day of coordinator who made our day run seamlessly. We were lucky enough to get to use their DJ Bryan who kept everyone & everything right on time.

Erin Sent on 03/21/2024Look no further for your perfect venue - The Rhapsody is it!
The Rhapsody was the perfect place for our wedding - we could not have asked for a better experience. We planned our wedding in three months and the team at The Rhapsody made the whole process SO easy. They are so organized, and were able to answer all of the questions we had quickly. Our entire experience was exceptional, starting with the communication with Bryan even before our first tour. He and the rest of the staff at The Rhapsody are truly caring and the most genuine people and deliver the best service - they are absolute experts in what they do.
Not only is the service exceptional at The Rhapsody, but the space itself is amazing too. From our first tour, we knew that this venue was going to be everything we wanted and more. The ballroom is spacious and gorgeous and there are so many details The Rhapsody includes to personalize the space - the selection of colors of the linens, the centerpieces, custom lighting colors and projections in the archways, and incorporating our wedding colors in the permanent flower pieces around the ballroom. The ballroom flows beautifully to the ceremony pergola and courtyard with waterfall, fireplace insert and photobooth - it’s perfect to give guests alternative areas to socialize and cool off after dancing the night away!
Speaking of dancing the night away - we chose Bryan as our DJ as well, and he did a fantastic job from start to finish. He did a great job MCing the reception and mixing music for different times of the day - from the ceremony to the grand entrance, dinner, and dancing. He was able to feel the energy of the crowd to keep the party alive on the dance floor which was a big priority for me.
A huge bonus of this venue are the cottage and villa on the premises for getting ready. We are a little traditional in that we didn’t want to see each other before the ceremony, so having these places to hang out and get ready with our parties before the ceremony was essential. My bridesmaids, bridesman, and I had a wonderful time in the beautiful (and newly renovated!) cottage. There was a ton of space for my party plus other family and special guests to get ready with a kitchenette with dining table, large living room, two bathrooms, dedicated makeup/hair room, and huge dressing room with a pedestal and mirrors galore.
Overall, The Rhapsody delivered an amazing experience through the whole process - during planning and day-of - and we can’t imagine having a better experience anywhere else! -

David Sent on 11/28/2023Amazing experience in a beautiful setting with a staff that went above and beyond to make our Big Day absolutely PERFECT!
I cannot say enough kind words to describe how pleased we are with The Rhapsody. Bryan and his team were with us every step of the way, giving us a sense of peace, knowing our wedding would move forward smoothly, leaving us to simply enjoy our special day. The venue provided everything we could have imagined for the perfect ceremony, from the outdoor Pergola for the ceremony, the Covered Patio for our guests to mingle in a comfortable setting, to the indoor Grand Ballroom, and everything in between. The Bridal Cottage for the women to prepare themselves in a beautiful, comfortable (and private) setting was an unexpected, nice touch. The Villa for the men to have their own place to hang out and just be guys was another surprising detail that we would have never thought about.
Bryan, as the DJ, just made the whole experience even better than expected. His artistic talents in making the music fit just right with all the crazy people we had at our wedding was outstanding! But, as impressive as the venue itself was, it pales in comparison to the staff. They provided so much information and details for our day that they gave us a true sense of peace knowing our big day would go off without a hitch. The Rhapsody provides everything any couple would need for their event; they are a one-stop shop and go above and beyond to make any event PERFECT!
Not only did we feel a true connection with the staff, but we also felt as if we had made new friends. I look forward to assisting the Rhapsody and the staff in helping future couples, answering any questions, and giving them a small piece of what The Rhapsody staff gave to us: a sense of calm, knowing full well our wedding ceremony was in good hands! We will HIGHLY recommend The Rhapsody to anyone within our circle of influence for any event needs. I hope to be able to use The Rhapsody again if the need calls for it. Thank you, Bryan, and the whole Rhapsody team, for making our big day truly magical and extraordinary, one we will always remember fondly, with a huge smile on our face and a warm, special place in our hearts. -

I remember when we got engaged, I was so excited, but being the person I am, I instantly started panicking about all the planning we had to do. With The Rhapsody, there was little to no panicking because they took care of so many things and made the process so simple. They have monthly planning meetings where they go over different topics to help you prep for the big day and they were always available to answer any questions we had. And believe me, we had SO many questions. We were worried we might be getting annoying. But they were always happy to answer every single one of our questions. Our wedding went so perfectly and smoothly. I couldn’t have imagined a better day. I can’t thank everyone at The Rhapsody enough for making our dream wedding come true!! -

The Rhapsody made my daughter's wedding day perfect. From decorating the tables. Beautiful, bridal flowers, Beautiful. Photo booth was so fun. And you cannot have your wedding without owner and DJ Bryan. He made our day so much fun. The recommended vendor list was so helpful. The bridal cottage with a full kitchen and groom villa are wonderful. Take advantage of the many services they offer. The Rhapsody knows how to make your special day stress free and so much fun.

Could not be more grateful to have chosen The Rhapsody as our wedding venue.
The tour was amazing and Bryan gave us a fully immersive experience to really see what it would be like on the day of. The facility is very clean and absolutely beautiful. The floors are reflective and make for great photos!
Booking the venue was smooth and straight forward. No hidden fees that we were not expecting. They gave a detailed overview of expectations in the contract.
They were readily available to answer questions and generally responded same day if not within the same hour.
The had a day of coordinator, Holly, that made sure everyone knew the game plan and we were running on time.
We also were highly pleased to use their florist for boutonnieres and corsages.
Best part is we also booked Bryan as our DJ through The Rhapsody and he absolutely killed it. He created the best atmosphere to celebrate the night away.
Most definitely recommending The Rhapsody to all of my friends!! -

Landon Sent on 08/10/2022Beautiful Venue and Amazing Staff
The Rhapsody was the venue of our dreams which became a reality when we got married here in July 2022! We immediately fell in love with the beautiful garden ceremony area, the waterfall, flower wall for pictures, and gorgeous ballroom. We wanted to get married outside in a garden and this was perfect for us. Also, having the covered patio as a backup option if it rained was a relief! Having our getting-ready areas, ceremony, and reception all in the same location made it so easy for us and our guests. The fact that this is a family-owned business really made it special. We worked with Rita and Bryan (owner/mother and son) as well as Steph (day-of coordinator that they provided for us) and they were spectacular at helping us with whatever we needed. Bryan was also our DJ and we wouldn’t have wanted it any other way - love the way he mixes his music and the presence he brings! There is a Google Drive that they share with you that contains so much helpful information that we used as well. We got the centerpiece package from them where we got to design all the centerpieces and table colors and on the day of they set up AND took down all the tables - which took a load off of us and our family at the end of the night. Honestly, we will miss our meetings at the Rhapsody! We are so glad we chose The Rhapsody for our wedding and would highly recommend this venue! -

This venue was the perfect place for our perfect day and they made it happen. This venue is family own and operated and we definitely got that treatment. We highly advise taking all of their additions and options for a wedding. We got the best floral arrangement, in-house DJ, and mirror photo booth. The florist, Rita, did all of our flowers for the day and even our wedding party flowers and boquet. Everything was perfect and exactly what we were wanting! She worked through how we wanted it set up, how we wanted our archway to be decorated, and even more! The in-house DJ, Brian, is one of the best we have ever seen. We have now been to a few weddings and none come close to him! Many of our friends and family thought he was amazing and would want him at theirs. The mirror photo booth was also amazing. Many of our guests used it and we can easily go through those photos. It was so cool and easy to use for our guests! During the planning phase, all members of the venue helped us and had multiple meetings to make sure everything was correct. Overall, this family-owned venue is the best place to have your wedding! We do not regret it one bit and will always remember our perfect day. The Rhapsody made it come true for us! -

This venue is amazing. From the ownership and staff, to the event space and decor options, they impressed me at every level. I had my wedding/reception there on 8/14/21 and it was the most magical day and I have to give The Rhapsody credit for a lot of that! From the very beginning, Rita and Bryan (owners) worked directly with my husband and I on wedding prep details and planning. They covered every aspect of our special day (area for the ceremony, decor, music, schedule, vendors, etc.) and made sure we had a plan for everything and all of our questions were answered. They allowed us to meet with them numerous times and they even hosted workshops throughout the year to help couples preparing for their special day. Our wedding was originally planned for 8/8/20, but with COVID really on the rise then, Rita and Bryan allowed us to push out our date for no additional cost. They were very accommodating and understanding. We used Rita for our centerpieces by purchasing one of their special packages and she did a great job! They were so beautiful. We also used Bryan as our DJ and he really helped get the party started and keep it going all night long! All in all, if you're looking for a beautiful venue (pergola, covered patio, reception hall), great ownership and staff, help coordinating your special day, and a real good time, The Rhapsody is the place for you! I'd recommend them to anyone! Thank you for making my day so beautiful, I'll never forget it! -

Goud Wedding 6/18/21 Bride Review
From the beginning of the touring and booking process the Rhapsody and staff were the total package! As a bride, I was looking for a space that could do both ceremony and reception within the same venue and offered a fair amount of time to have the event space. The Rhapsody has all their bases covered from custom in house decorations and flower packages, in house DJ availability, photo booth, private areas for prewedding activity, beautiful indoor/outdoor space, making it easy to "say yes" to the venue. My wedding day was a dream, I recommend the Rhapsody Event Space without hesitation. -

Perfect wedding❤️
Wedding 6/4/21. Oh my goodness. I can’t begin but rave about how amazing Bryan, Rita & stephanie are! When we booked them and decided to plan our wedding and get married within 6 months. It was such a smooth process, all because of our amazing vendors. We decided to go with their in house DJ (Bryan) their Photobooth, and highest décor package (Rita) so I didn’t have to do much 😂😂 They absolutely NAILED IT with our florals, centerpieces, and decor! The venue has a girls cottage and a guys area as well to get ready in, which is beautiful for photos. The venue also came with coordination and planning. I did a lot myself (because I wanted to) lol but it was great knowing they were there if I needed them. Communication was great. The florals turned out AMAZING (Rita made my bouquet, wrist corsages, and centerpieces) and our coordinator (Stephanie) and Bryan made sure our day went as smooth as possible! They are absolutely incredible! Would def 10/10 recommend! -

My daughter’s wedding
Our daughters wedding was at The Rhapsody in Independence Missouri April 30th. We had to reschedule the date twice due to the pandemic. We originally had it on a Saturday but ended up with a Friday due to the volume of weddings being rescheduled. We are so happy we had it on a Friday. Worked out well for our out-of-town guest and gave us time on Saturday to spend time together. We loved the decorations and fresh flower arrangements that owner Rita made. Highly recommend Bryan the DJ. He prepared Brooke and Lee with itinerary for the entire wedding. He laid out what was needed to keep the wedding reception moving and how to ensure they had time to thank each guest. He spliced some music together for them. He was very enthusiastic and professional. Stephanie the wedding coordinator was organized and accommodating. She walked us through the entire ceremony. Kept the wedding party organized. She helped set up the live stream and helped keep photo booth operating. She also cleaned up several spills. At the end of the evening she made several bouquets out of the fresh flowers for our out-of-town guest. At the end of the evening when we were loading up our stuff one of the groomsmen made a comment this is the first time I’ve attended a wedding that had the least amount of stuff to load up. Its because The Rhapsody accommodated for most of our needs we didn’t have to do anything it was wonderful. I’ve already had three people reach out to ask the price of the venue which I felt was very reasonable for everything that was provided and the professional guidance we received. Rita from the very beginning prepared us, set up meetings with us. Told us what to expect. Bryan and Stephanie complemented by providing us with their professional guidance during their meetings. Best decision we made. Highly recommended Deb. -

Fairytale Venue - Dream Come True
I recently married the love of my life at The Rhapsody and it was an absolute dream come true. Rita and the rest of the staff paid close attention to details, handled most of the planning, were flexible, and cared about making sure everything was exactly how we wanted it to be. I felt like I was the number one priority and had so much support with planning. On our wedding day, my husband and I were able to focus on enjoying every moment rather than feeling stressed or having to ask family members to help us set up or manage vendors. Rita (owner and florist), Bryan (DJ), and Kaci (wedding coordinator) were all enthusiastic, organized, and communicated effectively. We received countless compliments from family and friends both in attendance and online. I toured several local venues before finding the Rhapsody and I am so glad I did not settle for somewhere else before finding this gem. We cannot recommend The Rhapsody enough! If I could give extra stars I would because this venue did not disappoint in any way and I was blown away by how incredible the location, decorations, flowers, music, photo booth, bridal cottage, groom's villa, photo ops, and team of staff dedicated were. -

Beautiful Venue & Excellent Choice!
Where do I start with how to describe how awesome this venue is? The Rhapsody is family owned and you can tell their entire heart is into their business and providing quality services to brides/grooms. The Rhapsody essentially brought my dream wedding to life at an affordable cost. I am usually very hands on but planning a wedding can easily become overwhelming if you are like me and try to take on too much. I was able to give up some control and communicate to the Rhapsody team exactly what I wanted and they beautifully executed everything! The venue has potential to work with a variety of budgets and can be as all-inclusive or as DIY as you would like. I personally chose the upgraded centerpiece design package and felt like it was a reasonable cost for all the extras you get for the venue to help recreate those Pinterest designs you fall in love with. Not only does Rhapsody provide a beautiful venue space but they also provide so much guidance and planning tools to keep scattered brides/grooms organized. I used every spreadsheet, booklet and document that they provide to all couples to stay on task and keep all my vendors on the same page! Would recommend this Venue to any couple planning a wedding in the Kansas City area! -

The Rhapsody is a family owned business and as soon as you walk in their door, you are family to them too. All my questions were answered immediately and they are so on top of everything! They are truly pros! I absolutely loved this venue and it made all my fairy tale wedding dreams come true! Rita even got me my arch last minute just because I requested it to give it an even better touch for my vision. I could not recommend this place more if I tried :) -

Book your daughter's wedding here!
The entire staff is wonderful and very professional. We loved having our daughter's wedding here and our guests were very impressed with this absolutely beautiful venue. The covered patio is an added bonus and gives you more room for additional guests or guests who wish to visit away from the music during the dancing!6 -

Wonderful Family, Beautiful Venue!
The Rhapsody and the entire Scherer family is absolutely amazing! They are incredibly helpful and will work with you every step of the way throughout the planning process. Beyond the family, their staff is amazing and were all over the place during our wedding making sure everything was running smoothly. After our first venue went bankrupt Rita was so sweet and welcomed us in with open arms, helping to settle our fears and calm our nerves. Then throughout this pandemic it's so obvious how much they care about their couples, everything from keeping us up to date on the most recent policy changes to 1am nights the week of discussing last minute safety measures we need to take. I can't express enough how grateful we were that we found The Rhapsody and how blown away you will be if you book with them. The are outstanding and really truly just good, honest folk. -

We just got married here on August 11, and everything was absolutely stunning. Although the venue is gorgeous, they constantly surprise you with improvements. They have an open vendor policy but are almost a one-stop shop to be honest! The owner Rita is extremely talented and can design, create, and bring your vision to life flawlessly. While Bryan offers Dj services but provides so much more! We had no idea how to plan/execute a wedding and they were there to help us every step of the way. Luann was a very pleasant, flexible and highly attentive to detail wedding coordinator. planning a wedding can be quite stressful but I can honestly say that we will miss working with the staff-they made it an enjoyable experience.

Bethany Sent on 10/09/2018OMG, I don't even know where to start with the Rhapsody. Our entire night was AMAZING. Rita, the owner, is so sweet and so accommodating to everything my husband and I wanted for the day. She helped every single time we had a question PLUS you can't beat the price! With the package we had, we got a free Day-Of coordinator to make sure our day went as smooth as possible - which it DID. The day was amazing, I recommend them to EVERYONE that just got engaged. Thank you, Rita! -

The Rhapsody is an unbelievably beautiful venue! The three distinct spaces available to us were each wonderful in their own way, from the garden space for the ceremony, to the piazza-style covered patio, to the gorgeous ballroom, our guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves in wonderful surroundings. The service received was beyond our expectations, and the value is much better than most venues. That's not even mentioning the amazing bridal cottage and groom's space. Truly wonderful! -

Wedding reception and ceremony
The staff at the rhapsody was very thoughtful and committed to what the bride and groom wanted! They are very down to earth people and want what is best for the happy couple. Rita, Kaci, and Bryan helped us with our event. All three of them were very kind, and extremely helpful to have on our side during this process. Kaci was our wedding planner and she did everything she said she would, and more! Bryan was our DJ for the reception and both sides of our families are still talking about how well he did. Rita did our bridal party flowers, and centerpieces— they were well over our expectations, and out of this world amazing! Below/attached are some pictures of decorations, and the cottage where the bridal party got ready. My husband and I were very pleased with how our day went at the rhapsody. We highly recommend having both ceremony and reception at the rhapsody! Why go anywhere else, this place is amazing! -

The Rhapsody saw our vision for the day and made our dream come true.
From the event space to the staff, the Rhapsody was perfect for us. The planning, to the communication the day of was perfect. Our wedding went off without an issue. They saw our vision and made that to happen on our day so it was perfect for us. -

The Rhapsody was a wonderful place to get married! It has several beautiful options when it comes to the location of the ceremony on the premises, you can get married at the pergola, under their patio, or indoors, so there are plenty of backup options in case weather is an issue. It almost was an issue on my wedding day, as that was probably the only thing that happened that day that I remember being upsetting (and that was not the Rhapsody’s fault, obviously!) If anything, the staff at the Rhapsody handled the situation wonderfully. Bryan was our planner from the beginning and knew I was really dreaming of getting married in front of the pergola with that diamond curtain. The weather wasn’t ideal, it was 45 and chilly with some snow flakes. My girls weren’t dressed to be in the cold, but everyone convinced me that the guests and our wedding party would be fine spending 20 mins outside for the ceremony. Everyone waited inside until about 5 mins before the start, and we were all back into the reception hall quickly and warmed up. I’m so happy our day-of coordinator (Kaci), Bryan, and our Photographer (who is a longtime vendor of the Rhapsody) Angela Shipps convinced me that the outdoor ceremony was the best bet.
Bryan was our in-house DJ, and did a great job keeping everyone engaged and kept the party going all night. He played all the music we wanted (and left out some we specifically asked him NOT to play) and he was very attentive to how we were doing all night. All transitions were smooth between all the first dances/games/open dance floor. The only feedback we’ve heard from our guests is there were some songs they had suggested that he didn’t play. There’s probably not one DJ that has every song that anyone can think of - so I would only suggest to keep working on broadening your library!
Overall, the planning process went smoothly for the most part. As with anything, make sure you keep a good line of communication open and know what exactly comes with what package and don’t be scared to clarify when it comes to what you’ll have to pay extra for. They suggest amazing vendors as well, we used Hy-Vee for our flowers/cake/catering and it was so easy! They were wonderful. Top Shelf was amazing as well, the bartender was a hit, and she was so accommodating to me and my husband. Thank you Rhapsody for a wonderful wedding!!!
