A perfect wedding day

We absolutely loved having our wedding at Rollins Mansion! We looked at many venues in Des Moines, but this was the clear winner even upon our first tour. It is a stunning venue, close to downtown Des Moines but once you're there, it feels like you're stepping into a fairytale.

We also used their on-site catering service and it was absolutely delicious - everyone loved the food. The staff are incredible and really could not have asked for better service & support through the entire process and day-of.

Everything about our day was perfect and I'm so happy we chose to have our wedding here.

Fairytale come true

My husband and I recently got married at the Rollins Mansion. The venue is absolutely stunning. We met with Brianna and Jackie on several occasions to go over details. They are both really great to work with. They answer any and all questions in a timely manner and go above and beyond to help ensure the big day is as perfect as it can be. I cannot recommend this venue any higher.... but more importantly Jackie and Brianna.
