Wedding Venues in Iowa

Wow! I had zero stress related to the venue for the wedding weekend! Cheyenne made sure that everything was perfectly set up, running and that there weren't things needed from her to make our day special. Even 16 days later and she is still checking in on us! Thank you for making our day the BEST. DAY. EVER! 10/10 RECOMMEND

We started planning my daughter's wedding during Covid. There was uncertainty as to what a wedding would look like if we could even have it. Staffing was not completely back and everything was unknown. My daughter and son-in-law were living in North Carolina and my son-in-law ended up being deployed and returning only a couple of weeks before the wedding. The Staff at the Embassy Suites Downtown Des Moines didn't blink an eye. They were very accommodating to our needs. The bride and groom couldn't make it to a tasting, so they allowed us to schedule one on their time. Claudia and her staff walked us through changes as our guest list went from between 100-150 to 250 guests. I truly cannot say enough good things about this venue, staff and hotel. The food was amazing. We never noticed the waitstaff unless we needed something. Marcy and her staff flipped the ballroom from ceremony to reception in less time than they had originally quoted us, which allowed us to move quickly to the fun stuff. I couldn't have imagined anything more perfect than what they created! The staff made this venue shine!

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!

Bash is such an amazing building to begin with! Catherine manages to turn it into the most beautiful facility to host a wedding in and she utilizes the space perfectly. Catherine was so much fun and so pleasant to work with! We highly recommend choosing Bash for your venue! Catherine has the best set up and package for all of the venues that we researched and chose! Our wedding was a dream come true and was even better than we ever imagined it would be! We received constant compliments about how amazing our venue was and how beautiful! Thank you to Catherine at Bash and all of her crew for making such a wonderful night possible for us! We are so grateful and happy!

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!

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 could not have asked for a better place to have my wedding and reception. My husband and I choose to have a Sunday wedding to keep costs within our budget, therefore, the price was very reasonable to have our wedding at such a memorable location. The setting is absolutely beautiful outside and inside, so it did not require much decorating at all! I received many wonderful comments from guests on how it was such a lovely venue and the food was delicious. The pizza and apps buffet was a hit! Having the venue provide there own catering made the process so much easier. I cannot thank Ashton enough for her help throughout the entire process, from communicating via email about concerns and opinions to helping on the wedding day with anything we may need. My husband and I will definitely be returning for wine and pizza to reminisce on our special day.

I had the absolute pleasure of attending a wedding at Hapors by Baileys Farm recently, and it was a phenomenal experience from start to finish. The venue has a fantastic layout that feels both spacious and intimate. The beautiful seating and lighting created the perfect party atmosphere. The staff went above and beyond to make sure all the guests were taken care of. They were friendly, professional, and kept everything moving perfectly on schedule. It's clear the venue layout was designed with guests in mind. Everything from the seating arrangements to the layout of the dance floor made it easy to mingle and have a great time. Everything about this place felt premium and welcoming. It was a beautiful night, and Harpors by Bailey’s Farms played a huge part in making it so memorable!

Alex and the Hilton were great to work with! Alex was very knowledgeable, very responsive, and was present on the day of the wedding to ensure everything went as planned.Every single Hilton employee that we interacted with was so kind and helpful, seriously EVERY SINGLE ONE. The late night clean up crew included! The cocktail hour area was spacious, bar set up was great, hors d’oeuvres were very good. The banquet room is modern, spacious, and was perfect for our event. The bar set up in the ballroom looked classy. Dance floor was perfect sized. The backdrop for behind the head table looked fantastic- they hung some neon signs for us on it and it was perfect! Service during dinner was timely, food was very good. HIGHLY recommend the Hilton and their staff to host your event (ours was a wedding)!
