We'd Do It All Again!

When our daughter got engaged we visited four venues in the Ames/Des Moines area. Glen Oaks was the last and we are so very happy we went with them. Our wedding was this past weekend and we feel like we got the Golden Ticket. The venue is gorgeous (we had the ceremony out on the croquet lawn), the food was fantastic, and every staff member was kind & accommodating. I cannot tell you how much we enjoyed working with Shannon, their catering director. It was like having our very own coordinator, wedding planner and friend helping the whole way through. We'd do it again in a heartbeat. Add Bella Flora into the combination and prepare for perfection!!!

Best. Crew. EVER!

We had the absolute BEST experience with Shannon and her team at Glen Oaks!!!! Talk about great communication! They were extremely accommodating, professionalism to the nines- I could go on and on. My husband is an member at the club and I am a newbie, so it can feel daunting to ask for what you want in such a high-roller venue. Not only Shannon, but her dream team (and Judy at the front desk!!!) absolutely made my dream wedding come true. It is so comforting to continue to frequent GOCC when you know you’ll be dealing with folks who routinely make every concern no sweat to adhere to and stress free. If we weren’t already members, we surely would be now!

Thanks Shannon, Judy, and the rest of the team! What a great launching pad for the next chapter of our lives. Cheers!

Perfect venue!

Glen Oaks worked with us over many, many months to ensure that we had exactly what we needed and wanted on our wedding day. Shannon did a wonderful job taking care of us and we could tell that she genuinely wanted to make sure that we had the most smooth, enjoyable day ever. Our guests were very impressed with everything at Glen Oaks and the food was fabulous. We loved being able to get ready and have both our ceremony and reception all in one place. The whole GO team did a great job ensuring that everything was set up and executed for our perfect day.

I have done makeup for many weddings here. The room for the bridal party to get ready in is great! Plenty of room for everyone. I usually see my brides take advantage of a continental breakfast or lunch that is served there while they are getting ready. Truely a much better option than a hotel suite, with a huge gorgeous window for getting ready photos and bridal portraits. Highly recommended!
