We are so excited to have booked this venue for our wedding next year! From the moment we toured, we knew it was the right fit! It’s new, spacious, and has such a beautiful layout that will work perfectly for our celebration. Everything feels thoughtfully designed and well cared for, which instantly put us at ease. One of the best parts of this process has been working with the owner. They have been so kind, professional, and responsive, making the entire experience feel stress-free. It’s clear they truly care about the couples they work with, and that has made all the difference for us. We can’t wait to celebrate here and are so grateful to have found a venue that checks all the boxes. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful space and an amazing team to work with!

I hosted my daughter’s high school graduation in the Solarium and it was absolutely beautiful! The booking process was seamless, I worked with Aleah who was very responsive and informative, we detailed the event with Megan who did a wonderful job thinking of all the little things! The food was terrific. The staff took such great care of us. 10/10 highly recommend booking surety for your special event!

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!

We used The Bend Event Center for our annual Wine Trade Show and the service we received was outstanding. The space was fantastic, everything we requested was taken care of, communication was excellent, and overall everything was handled with the upmost professionalism.

The District Venue was the perfect place for my wedding! Erika was very helpful through the whole process and I truly wouldn't change a thing! I would 10/10 recommend this venue to anyone.

Great Venue. Great service. Super happy.

We had our wedding venue this past weekend at Oak Hill and it was absolutely AMAZING! Becky and her team did a fantastic job making sure everything was exactly what we envisioned and more! The venue itself it stunning and left our guests talking about how it was the most beautiful venue they have ever been too. I cant say enough good things about this venue, we wanted something country and outdoor and it checked every box. If I could get married there every year, I would! :) Thank you again to Becky and her team for making our day special and a day we will forever remember. We will forever cherish our memories at Oak Hill and Can't wait to come back for our anniversary to take some pictures!

We are a wedding-planning company, and Bella Sala did not ask me to write this review. I have to share because we truly love every wedding we have here. The venue is conveniently located, has lots of parking, and is easy for transportation vendors to navigate, which is not the case at some venues. We love their wooded outdoor areas for photos. Their getting-ready areas are spacious!!! It's one of the few venues that will comfortably hold more than 300 guests, but we've also planned weddings under 50 here, and it's so versatile. It's clear that Melissa, JP, and Alana love their roles because I see them working tirelessly to ensure each event is a success. We highly recommend this space to any couple who is looking for a venue.

Everyone at the Art Center was wonderful to work with! They made the process very easy, even setting up the tables and linens for the reception so that I did not have to worry about it. The food from Baru 66 was delicious and everything turned out perfect.
