Amazing Venue and Amazing People - An Eventective User from Kansas City, Missouri

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!
