About Us

Hi, we're the Howell family!

Jennifer and Quint Howell own Rosedale Park Event Center and Zest Catering Company, previously known as A Touch of Class Event Center and Catering. They purchased the company in 2018 and took over the property in the fall of 2021. They wanted the businesses to reflect the new and updated identity for the wedding and event venue and catering operation, so they transitioned them into two separate entities in 2022.

Having everything under one roof with options to customize your day makes planning a wedding or event much less stressful.

Jennifer and Quint began their careers in the food and beverage business. They raise three daughters together and live in Marion.

History

The venue was recently updated inside and rebranded to highlight the park and its rich history. In the early 1900s, the building was known as Rosedale School #2. From 1911 to 1912, famous American artist Grant Wood was a teacher at the school.

When planning a wedding or event, finding the perfect venue is overwhelming. You want a beautiful location with the flexibility to create your vision and give your guests a memorable experience. Rosedale Park Event Center is a wedding and event venue located in Cedar Rapids, IA. We can make all of that happen for you. The 3-acre park and prairie provide picturesque outdoor locations and a covered pavilion that can be a rainy day plan B or an outdoor event space. The venue was updated in 2022. The team, the amenities, and the onsite catering by Zest Catering Company make your event day seamless, taking the stress off of you, your family, and your wedding party.
