Wedding venue in Cedar Rapids, Iowa
About The Olympic South Side Theater
In Cedar Rapids’ NewBo district, The Olympic South Side Theater is an indoor wedding and event venue in a historic building. The venue offers indoor ceremony options and reception space, with ballroom, stage and mezzanine settings. Wedding parties can use two private suites: a naturally lit mezzanine bridal loft with lounge seating, mirrors and a private bathroom, and a room beneath the stage with a private bathroom. The mezzanine is not served by the elevator; the elevator connects the ground floor to the main second-floor event space. The venue has a full bar, in-house event staff, wireless internet, and planning support for timelines, floor plans and vendor recommendations. Couples may use outside vendors and bring in outside food; the venue does not provide catering. Wedding rentals include tables, chairs, black or white linens, setup and tear-down, cleaning, one bartender, on-site staff and an initial planning meeting. The venue does not have its own outdoor ceremony space; NewBo City Market has a separately rentable stage and lawn across the street.
