Bailey Farms Barn and Venue was an absolute dream to work with for our Vow Renewal. From our very first interaction, their communication was respectful, understanding, and thoughtful - they made the entire planning process a breeze. The venue itself was simply breathtaking, with a spacious and beautifully decorated tent that felt clean and elegant. The extra touches like the pond with the dock, the flowers and decor around the property made the venue even more perfect! The team at Bailey Farms was incredibly detail-oriented, handling the set-up, clean-up, and even serving our delicious cheesecakes with ease. The flowers from their on-site florist, Holly, were truly stunning and complemented the rustic-chic vibe perfectly. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue and highly recommend Bailey Farms Barn and Venue to any couple looking for a stress-free, memorable celebration. -

I cannot say enough amazing things about this venue. It was absolutely gorgeous and they made everything stress free! Everyone was coming up to us and telling us how beautiful the venue was. Bailey’s staff was fantastic as well! Before the big day, we sat down and answered a lot of questions to ensure everyone is on the same page which was extremely helpful as there were questions that I didn’t even think of! The day of they had everything set up (except decor) when we arrived and were very willing to create a stress-free environment. At the end of the night, they set all of our decor on a table, making it was very easy and quick for us to pack up in the morning. We stayed at the two properties on the venue which were clean and so unique; we loved being able to provide a place for our wedding party to still have fun but not have to drive. I could go on and on but overall a very good experience and I would highly recommend -

After touring over 20 venues in the Des Moines area, I found Bailey Farms through the Knot and began messaging with the owner, Montana. She was so accommodating for a tour and my fiancé and I drove out there with an open mind but expecting another not-quite-our-style venue. When we pulled up, my jaw dropped. The lawns, flowers, and landscaping is the first impression. The inside of the party tent is exactly what we were looking for -- chandeliers, greenery, wood tables, and a general sense of special occasion. We thoroughly enjoyed touring the property with Montana and were so impressed by the cleanliness of the facilities. Every inch of the space is updated. The perk of having several bedrooms at your disposal for the weekend was the icing on the cake for us. It felt like Montana was in our corner from the moment we met her. She was transparent about pricing, decor, and other inclusions. She made it clear that she and her team would be there every step of the way. She accommodated a second tour for my family to help us make our decision and kept us updated on available dates as we were deliberating. After we confirmed that this was our ideal venue, her team stayed in contact about decor lists and payment schedules. One of my favorite wedding planning meetings was at Bailey Farms about a month before our day, where Montana and Holly walked through every single detail with me and my mom. They heard me, made suggestions, and took detailed notes. After telling Holly my exact dreams for our flowers, she gave us a detailed quote and we were pleased to find it was within our budget! The week of our wedding I receieved texts from Montana about our head table arrangement, and just knowing they were thinking about our event already made me feel supported. Montana and Holly were present but by no means overwhelming the weekend of our wedding. Holly's work on our flowers was incredible and exactly met my expectations. The venue was as clean as the day we toured it. All our ceremony chairs were set up perfectly and my family didn't have to worry about moving furniture. I highly recommend renting their extra seating arrangements for your event. Our guests used the lounge seating quite a bit during the reception. Overall, I highly recommend this venue. Beyond beautiful, great owners, and the perfect place to make a special memory. -

Leon Sent on 11/23/2023Queer Vampiric Wedding Dreams Come True
My now husband and I fell in love the first time we saw the venue. Both of us being creatives, as well as a gay couple, it was super important we not only find a place that was LGBTQ+ friendly, but also could help us create our vision in the form of a non conventional vampire ball wedding on Halloween weekend, welcoming people from all walks of life. Baileys made it happen for us with flying colors.
Montana was amazing every step of the way through. She was not only transparent and communicative, but also very flexible and realistic with both our expectations and how we could accomplish our vision. 10/10 would absolutely recommend Baileys to anyone who is looking to have a atmospheric and unique wedding, as well as a welcoming atmosphere for queer folks. -

Montana and the staff at Bailey Farms were truly a dream to work with. Montana really never told me no - even when I requested three different meetings and walk throughs with her before the final meeting. When we booked this venue, they had yet to have the wedding and were still in the process of building, setting up and getting things together. I really had to trust the vision that she was selling when we booked and oh boy did they deliver.
The house for the girls to stay in is so cozy and has more than enough room and beds for a large wedding party. It was stocked with everything we could imagine. Makeup wipes, bath salts, aromatherapy for showers, hangers, a coffee maker, various kitchen items, lighted personal mirrors and the list could go on and on. The beds were also so comfortable! There was a perfect amount of room for us to get ready the morning of. It was also the perfect distance from where the boys were staying.
The barn for the boys is smaller and quaint but had everything the boys needed for the weekend. They had to share beds, but they didn't care! they had fully stocked bathrooms and kitchen along with the perfect amount of space for them to get ready the morning of.
Because they have a majority of the decor that you might need already, it made set up and tear down so easy. When we arrived on Friday afternoon, the decor items that we requested from them were waiting for us in the tent to put where we wanted. All of the tables, chairs and backdrops were in place for us. We had the tent decorated fully in about an 2 hours. Montana showed up for the rehearsal and helped us walk through the ceremony and dealt really well with keeping our rowdy groomsmen in line.
The day of, she was constantly checking on me to make sure I was okay, she helped direct all the vendors to where they need to be, and when we had to make the last minute call to move the ceremony inside because of the weather, she took 100% of that stress off of me and PROMISED me that it would be just as beautiful inside as it would be outside. Her and the staff pivoted quickly, smoothly and professionally. Every time I saw a staff member, they were so complimentary of me and the wedding and always asked if there was something they could do for me. Even with the weather and me moving the schedule up, they helped keep the peace, keep the schedule and keep me calm during a chaotic day.
When it came time to clean up, they took care of a majority of it. Placing the things we brought on one table in the tent so when we came the next morning to pick it all up it was a breeze.
Overall, I can't imagine having our wedding anywhere else. This review is honestly just the tip of the iceberg of all they did for us and my gratitude for them. I could really write a book. They are truly a huge reason why this was the best day of my life. I would work for them if I could and I will recommend them to everyone, always. A true dream come true. -

Myndi Sent on 10/26/2022Amazing venue
This venue is simply amazing! When you arrive, you are immediately transported to a country paradise. The thought and detail that has gone into the landscaping is impeccable and this gives your photographer unlimited options for photos. Then you walk into the tent and are transported yet again to a chic, but still rustic oasis. Again the amount of thought that went into the details of the inside of the tent are incredible. Plus they have plenty of decorations for you to use if you choose. The cost of the venue is reasonable and you get a lot of bang for your buck here. But the best part of this venue is the staff. This is a family run venue and they have put a lot of love, sweat, and tears into making this place magical and it shows. They were in constant communication about things and had several meetings to go over the details for the big day. They were also very helpful the day of the wedding. I can’t sing their praises enough! Holly, Montana, and team thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our special day so amazing! -

One of the most beautiful venues in the Des Moines area! They were great to work with and I wouldn’t do a single thing differently. So thankful we found this place. Our wedding ended up like something out of a storybook. -

In every wedding ever there’s always hiccups. But Bailey Farms did their very best to take on the stress for even the little things. They are extremely professional and take the time to get to know you so that they make sure your special day is exactly what you want. They work with you and make sure that you enjoy it as much as your guests do. My now husband and I are in awe of how amazing our wedding day was and we couldn’t be happier. They have a million different backgrounds for pictures all at one location. So many textures and opportunities. They do their own flowers on site and have everything you could possibly need or want. We recommend this place to everyone!!! -

The way Montana helped me with so much and kept me calm during and the whole year before our wedding, is a HUGE reason why I will forever recommend to have the best day of your life here! The venue is absolutely beautiful, the staff is beyond friendly and helpful. Everything about Bailey Farms, was more than I expected. My day went so smooth and the night was wonderful. I can never thank Montana and her staff, for literally making my dream, come true! -

The Communication is great. The staff is always willing to help answer any questions along the way. The tent is amazing inside it really helped to cut down and the amount of decorating we had to do the outside is kept very well and makes it a beautiful area for people to enough. -

The perfect wedding day
Bailey farms barn and Venue is more than I could have ever dreamed of as a venue. The staff was incredible at every meeting prior and on our wedding day. My fiancé is very country and we joke that I am country club. I had request that Montana and Holly had not had before and they delivered higher than my expectations. Montana did our rehearsal for us because the officiant couldn’t be there and Holly ordered all our flowers in for us and they were Pinterest perfect and My goodness the arch was GORGEOUS! They also cleaned everything up for us the night of and set all our decor / belonging we brought with us to the venue so all we had to do was put them in the car the next morning. This venue was perfect because it was close to hotels for our wedding guest and sleeps 18 so our entire wedding party could stay on site. I could go on and on, but if you are looking for an outside ceremony and a tented reception this is it!!! -

Aside from having to apply for our own liquor license, this vendor was excellent and perfect for us! Really enjoyed the accommodations for us on site!
Holly & Montana were warm & welcoming! They were quick to respond whenever we had questions, and allowed us to come out for a walk through (a few times) before our date so we could be sure our vision was coming together with decor we were bringing ourselves. However, not much decor is needed as they have the property landscaped with beautiful flowers or fall decor. The greenery and lights in the tent make everything magical. They have many decor items to use or rent as well! We really enjoyed having accommodations for our wedding party on site - the two houses were perfect for the bride and groom to stay apart the night before the wedding. And then there was still plenty of room to have some wedding party members stay in the second house so we could have one to ourselves on our wedding night. The staff were there to help in every way possible- even on Friday during rehearsal for no extra charge. Quiet and beautiful venue. Highly recommend! We received so many compliments from our guests as well! We also really enjoyed all the small gathering spaces there are outside so our guests had different areas to hang out and mingle. The fire pit at the end of the night was also one of our most favorite parts about the day - just a few close friends snuggled up around the fire before we turned in. We will cherish our wedding weekend at Bailey Farms for all our days! ❤ -

Highly recommend!
Bailey Farms went above and beyond to make my wedding day perfect and exactly what I wanted. The facilities are beautifully decorated and clean. The venue property is large enough to have a big wedding, but not feel crammed. Tons of outside space to utilize and enjoy. I highly recommend using Bailey Farms as your florist, as well. Holly did a BEAUTIFUL job with the flowers. Above and beyond my expectations.
Holly and Montana were easy to work with and very willing to help in every step of the process, as well as provided great advice from their experience with other weddings. The service was great and they amazing people to work with. I recommend Bailey Farms to any couple in need of the perfect venue and experience. You will not be disappointed. -

Wedding of my dreams
This venue was BEAUTIFUL and also a great value! Montana made all my dreams come true and was amazing to work with. Multiple ceremony spots, and the tent is heated and cooled so it doesn’t even feel like a tent. You can also rent their farmhouse so out of town guests have a place to stay! Venue planning was seamless with Bailey farms, I promise! If you’re looking for kind of a “one stop shop”, look no further :) -
