    Rehearsal Lincheon

    From our first conversation with The Rose, we knew we were working with professionals who actually listened to what we wanted for our wedding day. Their event planner was on top of everything – seriously, not a single detail got missed, which made planning so much less stressful than we expected. Communication was always quick and straightforward, so we never felt in the dark about what was happening or what came next. The space itself is beautiful and the service was flawless on the day of, though we will say the pricing is on the higher end if you're working with a budget. That said, the level of care and attention we got felt worth it to us, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how well everything ran. We'd book The Rose again in a heartbeat.

    Tammy, thank you so much for your kind words! It was such an honor to be part of your wedding weekend and to host both the Rehearsal Lunch and Wedding at The Rose. We truly enjoyed getting to know you, the bride and groom, and your families throughout the planning process. It was a pleasure to help bring everything together and make the details feel seamless along the way. Our goal is always to take care of the details so our clients and their families can relax and enjoy these special moments—and knowing that you felt supported throughout the process and that your guests noticed how smoothly everything ran means so much to our entire team. Thank you for trusting us with not just one, but two very special celebrations. We are so grateful to have been part of such an important weekend for your family and would love to welcome you back to The Rose for another celebration in the future! ❤️

    Rehearsal Dinner at the Rose

    We had our rehearsal dinner at the Buffalo Rose and couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out. The staff was amazing and so accommodating throughout the entire process. They were great with communication leading up to the event and made everything feel easy and stress-free. The food and drinks were exceptional - we had so many guests compliment both throughout the night. They were also incredibly accommodating with allergies and dietary restrictions and handled everything without hesitation or ever making us feel like we were putting them out. It really was the perfect place for our rehearsal dinner, and it’s a night we’ll always remember. We’re so grateful to everyone at the Buffalo Rose for helping make it such a special night!

    Megan Lhotsky•Sep 21, 2026

Thank you for trusting our team with such an important evening—we’re so grateful to have been part of it! ❤️

    Best day ever

    We had an amazing experience with The Rose Event Center for our wedding! From the very beginning, Patricia was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was organized, responsive, and made the entire planning process feel easy and stress-free. She was always available to answer our questions and helped ensure every detail came together perfectly. On our wedding day, everything ran so smoothly. The staff was professional and attentive, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy the day with our family and friends. The food was another highlight—it was absolutely delicious, and we've received so many compliments from our guests about the quality and flavor. If you're looking for a beautiful venue with exceptional service, wonderful food, and a team that genuinely cares about making your day perfect, we can't recommend The Rose Event Center enough. Thank you, Patricia and the entire team, for helping make our wedding day everything we hoped it would be!

    Amazing venue

    I’ve loved every second of working with The Rose team. We had a huge wedding of 250 people. All I wanted was a space where I could see the guests all in one place. Most other venues said they could fit our size but some guests would be in a separate area— not my jam. From the beginning, the planning team was extraordinary. I told them I was overwhelmed with the process and felt pressured by other vendors. They adapted their communication to help me feel comfortable and supported. This meant everything to me. The organization kept me in check during the planning process and made sure that my fiance and I knew exactly what to do when. Patricia, especially, made sure we felt joyful and exciting about our upcoming day and helped us make decisions while explaining the rationale for different things (like plated versus buffet). Day of was even better. The food was HOT when it got delivered to unsocial guests. HOW?? There were 250 guests and the food was somehow HOT. The guests afterward were amazed with how great the food was— from apps, to main meal, and dessert. We even added late night food last minute because how delicious everything was. The staff was exceptionally fun and happy. At the end of the night I went to get a water from the bar and the bartender was smiling and seemed to be having fun— I’ve never seen that at a wedding! If I did one thing differently it would be to tip everyone more. The whole staff deserves the world. Patricia, the venue coordinator, should run the world. I will follow her wherever she goes lol

    Megan Lhotsky•Jun 28, 2026

    Nicole, thank you so much for this amazing review! We absolutely loved being part of your wedding day and are so grateful that you chose The Rose to celebrate with your 250 guests. It means so much to hear that you felt supported throughout the planning process and that Patricia, as your Event Coordinator, helped make everything feel exciting, organized, and manageable. We're especially thrilled that your guests enjoyed the food and that our staff's energy and enthusiasm stood out to you—that's exactly the experience we strive to create. Patricia was truly honored to work with you and is still smiling about your comment that she should "run the world!" 😊 We can't promise world domination, but we can confidently say it would certainly be a very organized place with her guidance! Thank you again for your trust, your kindness, and for sharing your experience. We wish you both a lifetime of love, laughter, and wonderful memories together! — The Rose Team

    The BEST Wedding Reception Venue!!!

    Where to begin?! Booking The Rose (& Patricia!!) was the BEST decision we made during our wedding planning season! From the moment we toured The Rose, we knew we found a gem. Not only was the process of planning our wedding reception incredibly organized and streamlined but it was also truly thoughtful and fun! Patricia gave us such honest feedback, ideas, and tips as we navigated the countless decisions to make. I cannot emphasize enough how many compliments we received about how organized and beautiful our reception was - and that is all thanks to Patricia and her incredible staff! We are forever grateful for the wedding memories we have at The Rose!
