When we arrived at Castle Unicorn for the first time, the two of us look at each other and knew this would be our venue. Castle Unicorn is the first and only palace we look at for our weeding… if you are wondering the answer is YES, Castle Unicorn is that beautiful! The day of our weeding the place looked absolutely beautiful, just like a place taken out of a fairy tale, everything was perfect and in place, this in turn allowed us to just enjoy our big day, this a testimony of the staff actually listening to us and materializing all our likes and needs in the decoration and atmosphere. The set-up of the whole place was detailed and immaculate, just stunning, and the service stellar, impeccable from the way the staff dressed to the way they catered and serviced our guests, impressive, remarkable… just incredible. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. Most of our guests said that this was the most beautiful wedding they have attended in their lives. This in large was due to John and Ray, the owners, and their staff at Castle Unicorn, that provide us with tons of useful advice and at the same time were open to our ideas. This truly was the wedding we always dream of; I could not imagine us getting married anywhere else. Castle Unicorn and their staff really made our wedding the most beautiful wedding ever! They are the best! If you are planning a wedding or just thinking about getting married, pay them a visit, you will be glad you did, I can guarantee it!

Awarded Best of Zola
The Renwick was the quickest and easiest choice my husband and I made for our wedding. We knew it was a beautiful place and we’d been interested in getting married there since long before we were even engaged but we didn’t know how helpful, warm and accommodating the owners, Sarah and Dane, would be. From the day we toured to our wedding and after, they’ve been amazing. They offer tons of helpful amenities plus different packages/price-points. We went with one of the higher priced packages and it was still totally reasonable. The package we chose allowed us to focus on the things we were excited about like decor while not having to worry about the things we were not excited about like set up and tear down. They also offer pretty much any option you could possibly want as far as bar service goes and you can bring in whatever catering you want! I could ramble on forever - I don’t know why people have events anywhere else!

This is an amazing venue to work with. The staff is amazing and on-site. We were able to have any vendors we wanted. Valet parking is amazing. There was no surprise pricing. Everything is upfront and open. The value for what we get is amazing. We could be there all weekend. The planning meetings were super helpful and the venue is just gorgeous. 10/10 recommend

A STATE DESTINATION and one-of-a-kind venue focused on bringing new concepts to the wedding experience. Relax - enjoy your big day with intention.

UNIQUE PACKAGES /PROGRESSIVE WEDDINGS 2 - 65 GUESTS /$895 - $11,750+ Venue Only /BYOVendors - Planner or GET IT ALL Photographer/ Coordinator/ Officiant/ Flowers + Fare INCLUDED ++

Linda and Liz have been such a joy to work with! They have been quick to respond to emails and happy to answer all my questions. When we met in person to tour the space, we felt welcome right away –– like old friends catching up. I love that VOWS is focused on small and intimate weddings – a lot of venues in town are geared toward the larger capacity and that's just not really our style. What's even better is that everything from officiant to photographer to food and drink is included in our package, so I don't have to stress over a million different things or vendors. Our wedding isn't until 2024, but we could not be more excited to host our close friends and family at VOWS! I am very much looking forward to working with the VOWS team as our date nears to finalize all the details.

Salisbury House & Gardens

5.0

Des Moines, IA
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Limited services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Salisbury House & Gardens is a wedding venue and museum situated in Des Moines, Iowa. The original owner, Carl Weeks, founded liquid foundation and hypoallergenic makeup, so it is fitting that his 42-room mansion has received a magnificent makeover as a wedding venue and event center. The mansion was built in the 1920s and was inspired by The King's House in Salisbury, England, blending Tudor, Carolean, and Gothic architectural details. Today, to-be-weds can celebrate their romantic nuptials in style at this sophisticated estate. From intimate elopements to large-scale receptions, Salisbury House & Gardens is suitable for events of all styles and sizes. You can say "I do" in front of several beautiful indoor backdrops or outdoors, where tall trees envelope a traditional arbor and manicured garden spaces. Couples can curate their dream reception indoors, outside, or in an elegant marquee.

I might be bias, but Salisbury House & Gardens is one of the pretties venues in the Des Moines area. Because of this, my husband and I didn't have to go overboard with decorations, the space took care of providing an amazing experience all on its own. Depending on your headcount there are a variety of spaces you use utilize onsite, allowing you and your fiancé to layout your event exactly as you envision. We also loved this venue because of its proximity to downtown. We had our ceremony and our hotel blocks downtown then had shuttles bus out to the venue which is only about 10 minutes. To top it off, the staff at Salisbury were very responsive and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone getting married in the Des Moines area!

Rosedale Park Event Center

5.0

Cedar Rapids, IA
  • Up to 250 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $5,000

Located on Mt. Vernon Rd. SE in Cedar Rapids (10 minutes from downtown Cedar Rapids), our indoor and outdoor spaces are designed to hold events for up to 250 guests. Spacious grounds with open and wooded areas provide ample settings for photos. On-site catering and a staffed bar make it easy for you to get exactly what you want for food and drink. Our dedicated staff is present to make the process smooth and simple, and we’re so excited to help you celebrate!

I can't say enough good things about Rosedale. Firstly, the venue is stunningly beautiful. It really needs no "dressing-up". Secondly, Jen is so nice and so helpful. Not only did she answer all my silly questions but did so promptly and with a smile. Working with this venue was such a breeze it felt odd not to have to worry about so many things. We chose to go with the all inclusive package which meant we had access to the whole venue from getting ready to our outdoor photos, ceremony in the beautiful gazebo, and the reception hall. Lastly, the catering is fantastic. We attended multiple tastings and loved everything they served. We ultimately went with the classic menu simply because it fit into our budget the best. If we had more room in the budget, we would have gone with a custom menu because we tasted so many delicious offerings that were not on a set menu. I would highly recommend this venue and catering company.
