The Team Room is Iowa’s most historic and iconic venue. Located in the heart of downtown Des Moines, the restored elegance of The Tea Room is captivating and the perfect venue for your special occasion. Reserve your date to create memories that will last a lifetime.
The Tea Room is the perfect place to host your formal event! We hosted our wedding ceremony and reception at this location, and were blown away with how everything turned out! When we booked it there were a few hiccups with prior management, and then when the new management took over about midway through our engagement they were hands-down amazing. Their communication is excellent, they meet with you multiple times before the event to get your vision right, and the day was executed beautifully! We hosted a formal wedding, with a room flip from ceremony to reception and they flipped the room effortlessly! (There were obviously many moving parts!) The venue is definitely an investment, but what you get out of it is amazing. You are also able to bring in your own caterer for your event, so that gives you the flexibility to use whoever you want for food. You do use their staff for alcohol, and they offer many options for the bar. My husband and I (and our families) were extremely happy with how everything turned out and would highly recommend working with the Tea Room team.

Beautiful Venue
We can't say enough about the beauty of the Tea Room. It is elegant on it's own, and adding a few decorations made it stunning. We received so many compliments on the venue and how amazing it was. Not only that, the team there is amazing and extremely helpful in the planning process. We had both our ceremony and reception there, which made it very convenient for guests. Please go check them out!

The Tea Room did an amazing job with our wedding last weekend. Such a well executed event from start to finish! The management and staff were great to work with and I would not have changed a thing. Thanks for making our reception such a memorable one. Highly recommended if you are looking for a classy elegant venue.
