Eastbank Venue + Lounge

Eastbank Venue + Lounge is a downtown Cedar Rapids venue for weddings, corporate functions and private celebrations. Set inside a restored historic building, its event space combines period character with a contemporary interior and flexible layouts. The venue has more than 14,000 square feet, allowing organisers to plan anything from a smaller meeting or family gathering to a large reception, gala or company event. Depending on the seating style, the space can host hundreds of guests.

For weddings, the venue can accommodate an on-site ceremony and reception, with separate lounge areas available for guests and wedding preparations. Wedding bookings include tables, linens, room setup and pack-down, ceremony and reception transitions, selected décor, backdrops, bar service and support from event managers. Couples can also enquire about additional coordination packages and optional rental items.

Eastbank also welcomes corporate events, non-profit functions, fundraisers, graduation parties and family gatherings. Event organisers can discuss floor plans and arrangements suited to their programme, whether they are hosting a business meeting, dinner, cocktail reception or large celebration. Built-in features include projection screens, audiovisual options, adjustable lighting and privacy blinds. A full-service bar is available, with bartenders and the option to discuss a signature cocktail. In-house catering is available through Zest Catering Company, with menu choices for occasions ranging from breakfast or lunch meetings to formal dinners. The team can help organisers plan the room and event details, while the venue’s downtown setting places guests near local hotels, restaurants and other amenities.
