Venues & Event Spaces in Cedar Rapids, IA

“Wife and I had a day date here for 1 hour and it was fun. You can have some drinks while throwing. I'd recommend to try it out. It was our first time here and we both had fun.”

“We’re happy we chose to go with the Rosedale Park Event Center for our wedding.
The venue had just about everything we needed. We had the rehearsal dinner with them. The bridal party got ready there. We had the ceremony outside in front of their gazebo, the cocktail hour and reception were inside the event center, and all of our photos were taken on site. All of the spaces were clean and pleasant to be in. There was plenty of room for nearly 100 people, including all of the tables, the dance floor, a photobooth, and the lounge space near the bar. Since we had the rehearsal dinner with them, we were able to access the space to decorate the day before. Which was really convenient.

Zest catering was excellent. Everyone raved about how good the food was. We had snacks and mimosas while getting ready, rehearsal dinner, appetizers, reception dinner, and midnight snacks. Everything was delicious. The catering staff had everything hot and ready, they bussed the plates and silverware, and packed up our leftovers at the end of the night. The bartender made great drinks. The only things that could have been better was they forgot to put out plates for the appetizers right away, and we didn’t know that they don’t do water service at the tables until a few days before the wedding. We had to rent water goblets and pitchers at the last minute.

The staff was friendly, professional, and responsive during the planning process. They asked us lots of questions to make sure we had everything we needed. They offered some in-house decor, helped us make a seating chart, and set up all the tables and chairs for us. The only issue we had is that they were short-staffed the day of the wedding, and it was hard to find someone when we needed help with the elevator and when we needed more plates.
Overall, we’re glad we had our wedding here. They made us feel welcome and it was good value for what we paid.”

“Nothing but good things to say about Eastbank! Courtney and Ellie did an amazing job! They were so easy to work with, so flexible in meeting, and seriously made the day everything we dreamed of! We couldn't have been happier! Highly recommend this venue!”

“Absolutely delighted with our wedding experience! From the stunning venue to the seamless coordination with MJ, every detail was executed flawlessly. She was organized, professional, and incredibly thoughtful! Every detail was meticulously handled, creating a stress-free experience through the entire planning process to the wedding day. The entire team's professionalism and expertise added a layer of confidence to our special day, making it truly memorable. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our guests felt welcomed. Highly recommend for anyone's special day!”

“Just came across this place a couple weeks back, was trying to find a new place to bowl and saw it. Safe to say I am very pleased with it. The owner is very kind and cordial and does what he can to make your experience there a 10/10 each time. I would definitely recommend people give this place a try!”

“Wonderful music at an outstanding venue - sad that non reservation folks randomly threw their coats on chairs in “their aisle” and claimed the empty seats were taken. They were not! Ushers would get involved but who wants to cause a scene- I May not come back.”

“My daughter's wedding was held at the HARMAC last night. Wedding on the roof top and the reception on the second floor. Unique events (same owner as HARMAC) decorated the event. 90% of the evening was great! But it's the small thing that can take a 5 star experience to a 4 or lower.

The event was over at 11:30pm, still had quite a few guests on the dance floor at 11:00pm, Staff started to break down the tables and chairs around 11:00, which was fine with me, we only had about 6-7 table being used by guests near the dance floor. My issue was when the staff started to remove drinks, chairs, and linens from the tables that were being used. We paid $7000.00 to have the venue until 11:30, another $8500.00 to have unique events set up, decorate, and tear down. $5700.00 for our guest to drink beer, wine, and seltzers on us.

Allowing us to enjoy our family and friends for the time agreed to in the contact would have been nice, rather than having to asked staff not to take drinks away and break down occupied tables 30 minutes prior to the events conclusion.”

“This place is amazing! Great food (when served) reasonably priced drinks awesome atmosphere. The members welcome you like family! The staff is very friendly. The have a HUGE party room that is for like weddings and dances”

“Great outdoor venue. Reserved seating in the center area. Bring your lawn chair seating at the back and sides. The lines at the merchandise, food and drink places were long at times. Fairly easy to get in and out of. I'd sure go again if I liked the band.”

“Staff is the cream of the crop here! Each person has been super kind to me my wife and my little dog Tony while in town for a friends wedding. The breakfast is typical American breakfast style and they offer a large selection of adapters if you have a picky kiddo with you. I cannot state enough about how kind everyone is though and that is a hard delivery when I am a grump without my morning coffee ?”
