Hometown of the groom — Marion Square: Charming downtown with antique shops, cozy cafes, and some great restaurants and bars all within easy walking distance.

Market with shops, services, art, live music, a food court, and event space — a lively spot to browse local makers, grab a bite, catch a performance, or relax.

If you're in town early enough on Saturday, stop by the Cedar Rapids farmers market! There are lots of vendors and plenty of good food (and coffee) to enjoy! The market is open from 7:30AM-12PM on Saturday, 9/5.

If you're looking for walkable bars and good food, head down to Iowa City! Bonus points if you go to Joe's Place and enjoy the rooftop bar!

A great spot if you're looking for good food and drinks without the large college crowd. Tribute, Marquee, and 30Hop have great food and drinks, the latter also has a nice rooftop area to enjoy the (hopefully) good September Iowa weather!
