Rodney Jones: Nice little place that I never knew was there.

Jackie Shewmaker - NOAA Federal: Beautiful venue. Very organized, professional and elegant. Everyone we dealt with throughout the planning stage of my daughter's wedding was so friendly and helpful. They went over and above with everything. I've never seen a more elegant venue Highly recommend.

Kanetha Ward: The Rhapsody is the best.The coordinating,decorating, dj&photobooth it all was so well put together and the wedding was perfect.Everything went amazingly well and as the Bride I was so relaxed cause I knew my big day was in the right hands.I cannot express how appreciative we are for everything that you guys did for us!I will be sure to recommend you to others in the future!Thanks again to the wonderful team at The Rhapsody

dee foster: Beautiful venue, courteous staff. Really nice!

Wendy Moore: There are probably not enough words to describe how awesome The Rhapsody is!!! From the moment you walk in the door for your tour to the moment you get your final email from them, you are treated like family and as if your wedding is the most important one. The venue is nothing short of beautifully spectacular!! Bryan, Amanda, Sabina, Holly and everyone else were so helpful and very responsive with any questions we may have had. We used Bryan, the in-house Rhapsody DJ and let me just say that every single one of our guest thought he was simply amazing!!! He knew what kind of night we wanted and delivered above and beyond!! I would highly recommend The Rhapsody - Wedding and Reception Hall for your wedding. You will not be disappointed in any way!!

Clarence Kellum: This place was great and the service was even better

Michael Caughron: If you’re looking for confidence in making your wedding day special, then look no further than the all star team of the Rhapsody. We started our planning with Bryan and he gave us all the tools for success. Vendor recommendations, a thorough tour and guide to make our wedding day go off without a hitch. We then met with Andrea, and she attacked our wedding planning with a sense of urgency. She was very helpful with getting things on our checklist completed. Our photographers, Poemas De Barro said that the timeline that Andrea helped us make, was the best they had seen. For the day of the wedding we were assigned a Cordinator, Holly. Holly, took the stress of the wedding day and crushed it. She did an amazing job of handling little things, assisting the wedding party, and taking care of our vendors. Her organization skill’s definitely allowed us to enjoy our wedding day stress free! The venue was gorgeously dressed from inside and out, each table was designed according to our meetings, and no detail was left out. My feet are still sore from the amazing music that was played by our DJ Bryan, and in a nutshell, he threw it down! The Rhapsody is highly recommended and our day was very special and will be raved about for years!

Brooke&Nathan Wedding: 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!!

C&E Davis: Words can't truly describe how privileged we felt choosing The Rhapsody as our wedding venue. Every single service they provide has the couple's end goals and success in mind. They are punctual, available, and organized. The value of choosing them is basically endless as they provide many of their services in house, like flowers, DJ, Photobooth, a wedding day coordinator and decorations. Each of these items took stress out of our planning process and allowed us to just really enjoy every second of the day. We could not have felt more appreciated and supported through our entire time. They even provide monthly workshops to go over wedding details like timelines, recommended vendors, and extra amenities. Special shoutout to Bryan who organizes and usually runs these workshops. Our day would not have been as perfect and flawless without him! He even provides DJ services for the day and kept the entire reception flowing and partying the whole night. We adore everything The Rhapsody gave to us throughout the entire wedding process. Could not give any higher of a recommendation to go book with them!

Mackenzie Leochner: The Rhapsody was fantastic from start to end. The venue is beautiful, clean, and up-to date. My husband and I had thought we were set on our wedding venue and only went to the Rhapsody because they had spring dates available still, by the end of the tour and conversation with the owner, Bryan, we booked our date! The communication was quick and they answered any and all the questions (even the silly little ones that pop into a stressed out brides brain). A huge pro of this venue is the staffing, they take care of most decoration/set-up, music if you chose the in house dj, and the day of coordinator. You wont find that type of staffing at another venue, or at least in a venue that is reasonably priced. Seriously, the best venue!!! I will be suggesting to all the soon to be engaged couples in my life.

Kourtney Thompson: The Rhapsody made my day PERFECT. They are so easy to work with and everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. They are not only awesome people, they are awesome at their job. They made wedding planning so easy and made my vision a reality. 100% recommend hiring the in house DJ...Bryan had everyone on the dance floor all night and was the talk of the wedding. Can't speak highly enough about this place.

Julie Hankins: Absolutely gorgeous.

Deandre Clark: The Rhapsody.....Where do I begin? You guys were amazing throughout the entire experience! Our wedding day was kind of hectic but you all worked to make everything so simple and an evening that we will never forget!Bryan was amazing from the first time we met him for looking at the venue. Worked with our work schedule to make sure that we had everything in order and in place for the wedding day. He also was amazing during the reception as the DJ and when I say that we were dancing the enitre time and the reception was lit, that was an understatement. Thank you for keeping the party rocking all night.I just want to tell everyone that plans to book them as a venue, you will love the family oriented staff and they will go hell and back to make sure your day is the best day and you will not have to worry about anything.Thank you again for creating a memory that will always be with us. Forever and ever.Love,Allison and Dre Clark

Mel Shultz: Highly recommend the Rhapsody, Well run and everything thought out.

William Clyde Michael: It was a great venue for the wedding. Fantastic time had by all.

Aubrey J: My friend had their wedding here. It was beautiful, open ballroom with an outside patio, and small changing rooms. The DJ was great and kept the night going smoothly.

Alexis Nibert: Wedding Planner advice: do NOT pass on this venue if a downtown wedding is not for you.I promise you will not notice how close you are to anything with how this venue has placed their ceremony site & amenities.It's very difficult to find a venue outside of downtown that has a bride suite, this venue has both a bride cottage & groom shed! This is huge for wedding parties to be able to get ready at the same location but also hidden from one another! Not to mention, they are both decorated perfectly for a wedding day!The staff is very polite & works really hard for their couples. They have decorations onsite which means it's less for a couple to do the day of and was great for me to be able to focus on my couple's needs!My favorite aspect of this venue is the newly remodeled covered patio & bar, custom built bar, fireplace, plenty of room for mingling, dancing and a photobooth if you wanted!Thanks for having me & I can't wait to plan another wedding here!

Aylia Hansen: Absolutely love the Rhapsody staff and the Venue was amazing from start to finish. They brought to life what I envisioned for my wedding. Price is great and the ballroom is absolutely stunning.Highly recommend this place. I consider the rhapsody family now. Thank you for all you did.

Ronda Norman: Beautiful Venue inside and definitely out.

Heather Szumierz: Beautiful inside and the outsideManagement Team friendly and professional!

Jackeline Newsome: Our ceremony was beautiful! You guys went above and beyond! Thank you for allowing us to have you celebrate our day and adding our lock of love

Arieona Moorning: I loved this place so much. Everything about it was nice. Nancy and Jane helped out a lot. It was also very affordable and pleasing. I couldn’t be more grateful. I recommend this place if you want something more small and intimate.

Stephenai Harris: I got married the 4 of May this year and prior to that everything was great. Ms. Jane was amazing making sure I got everything I wanted and that things were perfect, her communication was on point. My big day was wonderful.

Nancy Kerr: Here's just a few pictures of the Edison and it's amazing ambience!

K Starr: Nice small event space to host a gathering

Robin Moreno: They're personal with everything they do

Ryan Kelly: Last minute change Nancy got us taken care of for our real estate mastermind super great customer service!

Jessica Rosewaren: Where do I even start about this train wreck of a business? First off, if you look at the reviews, several were posted by the owner herself (she even thanked herself for writing them). Here is my wedding experience... my fiancé and I contacted the owner, Nancy, back in October. We initially requested to use the Edison for a small ceremony with cake. We were told it would be $850 for the couple of hours that we wanted it and that we would be responsible for clean up. Within a week, we realized that we probably should feed our guests since the ceremony was at 5pm. We were then told that it would be an inconvenience because they (The Edison) would have to do the cleaning since catered food apparently makes more of a mess. So, Nancy raised the price to $1,000 and we were to have it from 5-8pm and were told that we could come in at 4pm to get ready and do some decorating. Skip forward to middle of December and we hadn’t heard anything from this business at all and we’re getting concerned. They assured us that they always meet with the bride and groom (last minute) the week of the wedding. Cool. We sit down with Nancy five days before our wedding and she basically tells us nothing and asks us nothing. I was worried but tried to have faith that she knows what she’s doing. I’m also told that week that our time starts at 4pm. That’s three hours to get ready, have the ceremony, have the catering set up (the venue is too small to do prior to the ceremony), eat dinner, do pictures, and cake. We were completely set up for failure. And by this point, our $1000 check had been cashed. I was told that if we wanted to add extra time or use any more tables, “my mom” would need to call and pay extra because “my mom” had already made arrangements with them. For the record, Nancy had never spoken to my mom EVER. So, we decided to work with what we had and hope for the best. The night of our wedding arrived and then Nancy decides to have a conversation about what the service will be like (while I’m trying to get ready). But she doesn’t explain or ask some pretty imperative questions. This leads to a very bizarre rambling about “friendship” and macaroni and cheese during the ceremony. She asked me AT THE ALTER whether I was going to change my name. She nearly announced us “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” and had to correct herself. She didn’t tell my teenage son that she was going to be asking him “who gives the bride away” (which I never would’ve wanted to be part of the ceremony) so he stared at her until she whispered to him what to say. Just unprofessional. And tacky. We then have our rushed reception and are told by Pastor Jane (who had come to take over supervising) that we had to clean up the place. That means putting up tables, chairs, taking out the trash. We weren’t even allowed to put trash in their dumpster because supposedly they didn’t have one. My guests were putting bags of trash IN THEIR VEHICLES. SO EMBARRASSING. Nancy reached out to me the following day and basically said that she did nothing wrong and that her and my mom had made the agreement that we would clean up (again, she had never spoken to my mom prior to the evening of our wedding). I responded to her and told her my feelings on all of the above and had no response. Not even an apology for the embarrassment of saying our names wrong. This place is worthless. I wish I could give 0 stars.

Zephyr Spencer: I want to preface this review by stating that my better half tends to be the outgoing, comfortable in new surroundings, excited, people person between the two of us. I am most comfortable in the exact same surroundings as always, more with books than people, and with everything planned down to the second in advance. When this doesn't happen I quickly become anxious and overwhelmed.Pastor Jane read me like a book the moment I walked in, and immediately set about attempting to relieve my anxiety. I've actually been trying to write this review for the past couple of days, but I keep erasing it and starting over because I'm unsure how to best explain just how exemplary of an experience I had during something that I expected to just be a quick signing of papers.Pastor Jane told me during the ceremony that she loves what she does, and it shows. I felt comfortable, I felt accepted, I felt welcomed. We did not have the money for an exquisite ceremony. What we had was my wife, myself, my in-laws, and a license.I walked in a nervous wreck, and walked out comfortable, happy, smiling, and confident we had made the right decision. I wouldn't trade the intimate, genuine, and loving ceremony that we had for the biggest venue in the world.If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about you, loves what she does, and wants to connect with the people involved, you've found the right venue, and Pastor Jane is the right officiant. When we eventually get the money to fly in everyone we wanted at this ceremony, and we're able to renew our vows, I already know I will be contacting Pastor Jane again.Thank you again for your time, and for the love you put into the world.

Matthew Ramirez: My husband and I are so glad we choose the Edison for our wedding Venue. Pastor Jane and Nancy were very accommodating, professional and caring. They made us feel comfortable and they created an open, fun accepting environment. They worked with us from start to finish, and blessed us with the greatest gift, a perfect wedding. Their years of experience really showed, our shared words cannot express our gratitude for both of them, thank you so much! This is truly the place to go if you want to have a beautiful and affordable wedding. Also, the decor and design were simply beautiful

Jae Clark: Very nice venue for special occasions

santiago s: Small and cute

Barbara Martin: Very nice. Was there for a Wedding reception.

Nathan Glen Piper: I remember when they used to be the Taffy store.

Theresa Pyle: It's a beautifully amazing place to have a special event at

Dardantte “Ucesupr3me” Vaovasa: It was cool. Nice area to have events.

Anita Olsen (AnitaO): Great fun. Cultural Dance Festival

Arthur P. Andreas: Pastor Nancy is on her game! This particular event venue in Independence MO is a show stopper. With attention to detail in mind Nancy has spared no expense on decor, design, and overall quality within this location. In fact, you should call her directly for a quote. Very professional!!!!

Naomi: Love the steampunk vibe due to the Edison bulbs in copper pipe lighting.
