Can't recommend enough!

We would recommend The Tea Room to anyone! Their staff were amazing, responsive, and just lovely people. They always had an answer to our questions and took so much stress away from us! Sarah and Maddie were a joy to work with. The Tea Room is the most gorgeous venue in Des Moines with stunning windows and amazing views. We are so glad we chose The Tea Room for our reception!

Such an elegant venue!

We had our wedding reception here, and it was amazing! Sarah and Elizabeth are rockstars and made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it, and they kept me sane throughout the planning process in the month or so leading up to it! Guests commented on how stunning it was, the flow is so nice for a wedding, and our pictures inside are gorgeous. Such a pretty, elegant place!
