Banquet Hall Wedding Venues in Iowa

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.

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!

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!

If you are looking for the most beautiful, clean space that also has the nicest and most accommodating staff - Eastbank is the place for you! Adam and his team are truly the best in the best in the business and will go above and beyond to make your day as special as possible. Do yourself a favor and make wedding planning 10 times easier -- book with Eastbank!!

We will be back!! This venue is stunning and probably one of the most beautiful spaces in Des Moines. Location is private but not far from downtown dsm. Close to Altoona. i hosted a revival night and the place was perfect. Everyone has plenty of space to sit. The Staff is amazing! they helped with all our needs and made this a smooth processm. if you are looking for a new and fresh location, Northbridge event center is highly recommended!

Napoleon was our "go to" guy and he was EXCELLENT. He worked so hard and was so kind! Everything was handled perfectly and I was planning from South Carolina! I would definitely recommend this venue for a wedding and rehearsal dinner, and ceremony.

We just had our daughter’s wedding at the Alta house and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Phoebe and Rachel are nothing short of amazing. They truly care about every person and ensure every detail is perfect. I was honored for them to bring our daughter’s wedding dream to life. Thank you Phoebe and Rachel we couldn’t not have had a more beautiful wedding thanks to the both of you…..and even Nick! You all are simply the best!

The Venue was absolutely perfect for our big day! We loved the layout of Venue, everything flowed so well. The barn is already so well decorated! Wedding guests absolutely loved the tree chandelier that truly separates this barn venue from all others. One of the best things that we didn't think about right away was the Airbnbs they have right there on site. So nice to be able to get ready and have family staying close by. We'd pick this place a 1000 times over if we had to pick again. Bridal suite was perfect from getting ready. The hair stylist had plenty of room to work on all the girls. The bar is so well done! There's area to grab beer quick and they have an actual bar area where we could sit down and hangout after rehearsal. Staff was super friendly. Barn has a ton of character that enhanced the feel of our wedding and reception. Communication was a breeze even for last minute things. Venue was absolutely a dream come true!

We had a huge bridal shower and the staff was amazing to work with. They already had the table/ chairs set up the way we needed. The white linen tablecloths on the table in such a beautiful space!! We just came in and decorated… then after the event was done.. we grabbed our decor and they took care of the rest. It was simple and easy and they are there for the event if you need them. Did I also mention it was such a beautiful venue as well! Fantastic!
