The Rapids Theatre

Had our wedding here a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it!! The atmosphere was great, and the staff is so easy to work with (even when we had crazy decorating ideas, etc.)! We got rave reviews from our guests too! 100% recommend!!

My husband and I got married at Rapids Theatre on 7-7-17. I cannot say enough about how incredible the venue was! Our guests were absolutely blown away and have not stopped talking about it how impressed they were! The venue looks vastly different than it does for concerts....much, much shinier and cleaner! And the lighting! Even the pictures don't do it justice. Absolutely breathtaking! The staff was so attentive, especially to the bridal party. They made sure that we were on schedule and always had everything that we needed to make the night run smoothly. Lindsey was SO helpful in the planning stage. She was always available for questions and gave us great advice. I am SO thankful that we decided to have our wedding at Rapids. Truly the best day of our lives!

I really don't even know where to start with this place, it was so amazing!! When I was originally looking at venues I was mainly thinking vineyards and the knot suggested Rapids to me so I thought I would check it out. First of all the venue looks amazing!! I fell in love with it once I saw it!! It has a magnificent ceiling piece, a nice theatre feel with amazing lighting options. Some of my review things may apply to both Rapids and the catering service they have there through Rich's because they worked seamlessly on a lot of things together to make our wedding day perfect. At Rapids you have someone there working with you to make your day the most perfect, and I had the amazing pleasure of working with Lindsay. I have to admit, the venue looked amazing, but Lindsay is probably 80-90% of why I chose this venue in the beginning. She was so accommodating, lovely, and dedicated...she is exactly what you would want a person to be who is going to be helping you through this process. Now when I say she goes above and beyond is an understatement. I mean she gives out her cell phone number so you can reach her whenever!! Let's just recall a couple of the things (though there are more) she did that she definitely did not have to: 1-even though I was not having my ceremony at Rapids I thought I would ask Lindsay (the week of the wedding mind you) if she had an easel I could use to put my sign on for my ceremony...she hunted one down at Rapids and gave it to me gladly. It saved my rear from having to hunt one down and probably pay for it myself. 2-I had Converse to wear for my reception and I stupidly forgot socks...no problem for Lindsay! I have no clue if she ran out to get them or what, but before too long she came back with a new pair of socks!! Besides Lindsay's amazingness, the venue also makes a lot of the reception details go by so smoothly. I dropped off everything at the Theatre at our final meeting a couple days before the wedding. I simply explained how I wanted all the decorations and other things set up, and they take care of the rest. And I am not gonna lie, I was nervous about leaving it to someone else to do (that's just my personality), but you have to believe me when I say that they set up everything exactly how I wanted, and some even better than I expected!! The venue also has a livestreaming camera that shows your cake cutting, dances, and just everyone dancing on screens through the night. This is also where you can choose to do a slideshow (which I did not), but they showed our names and the date on a background matching our colors in the beginning when the guests were coming in. Another extra tidbit, my mom realized the next day that she had lost her gold bracelet that night. She had given up hope (or didn't really have any to begin with) that she would get it back....that is until she went back to pick up our things from Rapids. They handed over the bracelet having found it and figuring it was one of our guest's. My mom cannot stop telling me how amazing they are for finding and returning her bracelet. Lastly, you may be nervous that Rich's (their caterer) doesn't do food tastings, but let me just say you won't be disappointed! The venue was just perfect and I am still getting compliments about it, and imagine I will be for a long time to come. I highly highly recommend this venue to anyone that asks. The reception was so fantastic, and we have Rapids Theatre to thank for a big part of that!!

I am not even sure where to begin. The Rapids Theatre was the most perfect venue for my wedding day on April 8th. Lindsay was amazing to work with, and I am going to miss working with her now that my wedding day is over. She responded to my questions in a timely manner and made sure that I had everything I needed. The venue itself is BEAUTIFUL. My guests could not get over how amazing everything was and many were asking me where I found this beautiful venue. Rapids and Lindsay are very accommodating and work with you to make sure that you have everything that you want to make your special day AMAZING. I highly recommend Rapids Theatre; it is so unique and beautiful. The lighting, sound system and staff are phenomenal along with many other reviews on here about the ceiling- it is breathtaking! Who else can say that they got married on a stage?!? My husband and I have no complaints whatsoever- we had an amazing time and we cannot thank Rapids Theatre and Lindsay enough for making our special day so perfect. If you are getting married in the future please take some time to see Rapids Theatre- it is perfect for your special day!
