We had both our ceremony and reception at the Downtown Des Moines Embassy Club and couldn't have been happier with the entire experience! We worked primarily with Emily, and she was so responsive and flexible--especially as we planned from out-of-state--from our initial meeting and tour to lots of emails leading up to our wedding day and the entire wedding week. The venue itself is gorgeous, especially the chandeliers, but the views are truly breathtaking, and we loved sharing them with our guests who had never visited Des Moines before. The food was delicious, and several of our friends and family commented on how it was so much better than typical wedding food. We were really pleased and impressed with all of the staff, all of whom went out of their way to make sure everything was exactly how we wanted it and that we had a great wedding. Highly recommend!

Take many tours and ask lots of questions! Your guests will be very impressed with the atmosphere and professionalism this venue offers.

I would have given them more stars if I could have! The view from this room is spectacular. Floor to ceiling windows overlooking Des Moines in all directions! The staff was professional and the food was simply amazing. Head Chef Imre provided us with some of the best food I have ever tasted. The comment I heard, and keep hearing, from my guests was how wonderful the food was. Not only was it delicious, the presentation was fantastic as well.
Everything about the DMC--the food, the views, the staff--made this a night my husband and I will remember forever. We couldn't have asked for anything better. I recommend this venue to any bride-to-be!!!

We had our wedding at the downtown Embassy Club location, and we loved it! Kristy helped us every step of the way through all the planning details. The staff was extremely helpful with setting up the reception, and making sure everything ran smoothly that night. The food is fantastic, and no one can beat that view! I also thought they were reasonably priced for that nice of a venue. We also had a lot of out of town guests, so the proximity to hotels was great. When we received our final bill, we were pleasantly surprised with a gift certificate for our one year anniversary. I would definitely recommend The Embassy Club!

One of the best-kept secrets in Des Moines! We are so thankful we found the Embassy Club Downtown and selected it as our wedding venue. From our first meeting with the staff to our wedding day, we were incredibly impressed with the professionalism, organization, and service of the Embassy Club team. It was so nice to enjoy our wedding day because we knew that the Embassy Club would properly execute all aspects of our wedding day. They were easy to work with and thoughtful of our budget. They accommodated last-minute changes right up to our big day. We loved the classic look of the space, but were also attracted to the fact that all of the essentials of a wedding venue (seating, tables, linens, settings, etc.) were included, that all in-house catering could be personalized, and that you received top-knotch service for all guests. Our guests loved the views and the out-of-this-world food and drink from the Embassy Club. Weeks later, we are still receiving compliments! Book them for your special day if you want a stunning venue to wow your guests but also receive quality service that you can trust on your wedding day.

Just had our daughter's wedding at the Des Moines Embassy Club - downtown. Most beautiful venue in the city!
Staff was excellent and food was beyond perfect. You are definitely going to want to have an event here!

The Des Moines Embassy Club downtown was a wonderful venue to host our wedding reception. The staff was wonderful to work with and very accommodating for our menu choices as well as floor layout. On the day of the event, everything went very smoothly and was high quality (we offered 4 different menu options). The staff took care of the small details so that we didn't have to take time away from our celebration. Our guests also shared many compliments with us in regards to the venue. We did have an open bar, and our liquor bill at the end of the night was significantly more than anticipated. Food was very delicious and served elegantly. I would highly recommend this venue for a wedding reception (or location for any other large event).

The Des Moines Embassy Club has a history with the city known for providing unique dining experience to those members of it's supper club. They retain a professional demeanor when it comes to plannig your event but at times can be difficult to either get a hold of or strike a deal with. Their prices are as stated. Food is of the best quality and service is unmatched. Every detail of your event is covered with an extensive food tasting. This does not come without a price and to go with the Des MOines Embassy club means you get the best but you pay for it as well. Our wedding was over a year ago and people still talk about the food!

Take the stress out of planning a wedding, helpful staff, classy space.

The Des Moines Embassy Club catered both the rehearsal dinner and the reception dinner, and the food was very high quality. They were extremely flexible in offering a variety of food and prepared it well. We had nothing but compliments on the food.
