You can't go wrong with using Christiani's and Jester Park for your wedding! We are wedding photographers and have been to all the options in the Des Moines area. We picked Jester Park and Christiani's for our reception because we knew that we wouldn't have to worry about anything! And we were right! They took care of us and we couldn't be happier with the results. THANKS SO MUCH! If you're looking for a caterer and/or reception site - this is a perfect pick!

When we originally looked at Jester Park, it was owned by a different company other than Food with Flair. We signed for Jester knowing the ownership was changing hands and trusting that Food with Flair was a strong catering system that would allow use to still have the wedding we desired at Jester Park. They did not let us down! Although they are the only caterer allowed at Jester, they were fantastic! They allowed us to bring our own decorations, and set them up to be beautiful and perfect. JoBeth and Diana answered all my questions (and I had a LOT) and their food was to DIE FOR. We got so many compliments on the food and it was served quickly and tasted fantastic - and the lodge was beautiful and classy. Because we signed our contract before Food with Flair had ever hosted a wedding at Jester, as our date got closer they had decided on a few changes that worked better for them as a business but impacted our wedding time and contract. I would suggest reading the contract carefully and being 100% certain on the information included in that contract. The professionalism and hard work of JoBeth and Diana outweighed these minor contractual frustrations. I would definitely suggest Food with Flair and Jester Park for a wedding in the greater DM area!

Love this cozy lodge that overlooks the lake.
