From the reviews
We hosted our wedding at Rapid Creek Cidery after having visited for dinner on multiple occasions. For our wedding the venue and all of its staff were absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond to make our day special. The food was incredible and we still hear about it to this day!!
*Photo credit Lost Pine Photography in Cedar Rapids Beautiful venue. Our wedding was on a fall day in October. The staff was so helpful, it was super low-key and stress free. The food was amazing and could not have asked for a more perfect day and scenery. Highly recommend this venue.
As a wedding photographer, I absolutely adore working with the Wilson's Ciderhouse staff. They are always so wonderful, caring, and considerate of our mutual couples. The space is gorgeous, both inside and out.
We chose Wilson's Ciderhouse for our wedding and I could not have been happier with our experience. The venue was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the staff was amazing. I couldn't recommend this venue more!
Getting married at Wilson's Ciderhouse & Venue
Wilson's Ciderhouse & Venue comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
