The Vineyard is so stunning. We got married in October and the photos we got in the vineyard and by the pond could win photo contest. We love that the patio looks out over the gorgeous landscape and the whole space feels private and secluded. We are thrilled with the venue, the service, and our wedding day.

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.

Beautiful day and a team that made everything flow so smoothly. Photos turned out beyond amazing.

They have center pieces to rent and they set up all the tables and linens so you have virtually no set up to do at the venue. You can’t hang stuff on the walls but the space so so beautiful and decorated already so you don’t really need much. The food was delicious also.

Bailey Farms Barn and Venue 

5.0

New Virginia, IA
  • Up to 275 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

We at Bailey Farms Barn & Venue are very detailed oriented with a very casual atmosphere and our goal is that you can say “I truly enjoyed my wedding” not “it went so fast it was over before it started”.

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 to do so. The cost of the venue doesn’t break the budget 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 amazing and it shows. They were in constant communication about things and had several meetings to go over the details of 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 simply magical.

Iris Aisle

Winterset, IA
  • Up to 75 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Iris Aisle is a Victorian greenhouse that sits amongst our cedar grove in Madison County, Iowa. We built Iris Aisle ourselves, around the idea of creating a sanctuary where nature lovers could come to feel at home and be surrounded by medicinal plants and herbs and all of nature’s wonder, inside and out. Simplicity is our goal here, so we only host events of 75 or fewer people. We knew we wanted this place to be geared toward smaller weddings, because there is no other place in Iowa that does. So many venues want to go big or go home, but that’s not us. Instead, we want to shift the mindset of what this day is truly about, how true connection with those you love the most is deeply important.

The absolute best wedding venue ever! No decorations needed when your surrounded by absolutely beautiful nature and beautiful plants! My husband and I knew this wad out venue the second we saw it we didnt even go look at any other venues it was one and done for us. Also the owners are absolutely wonderful wholesome people and they will make your day even more special! We couldnt have asked for a more perfect wedding day.

We loved having our wedding at Pilgrim Heights Camp & Retreat Center! Mckenzie and the staff were so friendly, quick to respond to any questions, and truly seemed happy to host our special day. The camp was beautifully maintained with tidy cabins and gorgeous natural surroundings that perfectly fit our outdoorsy vibe. Mckenzie went above and beyond to ensure the venue accommodated my grandpa's wheelchair, exemplifying the caring spirit of Pilgrim Heights. From the planning process to the big day itself, they contributed so much warmth while also handling logistics smoothly.

Toast is a stunning industrial CHIC venue located just a short distance from downtown Des Moines in Ankeny’s vibrant and upscale entertainment center — The District at Prairie Trail. With over 15,000 square feet of space that includes a luxurious main event space, bridal suite and rooftop patio, Toast hosts events of all sizes including intimate gatherings and large celebrations for up to 425 people.

We got married at Toast last month, and it was my dream wedding. We toured Toast over a year and a half ago and Sara was so helpful and kind from the start! While it’s not the cheapest venue out there it is by far the most beautiful and requires less decor - potentially saving you money on other items. The only thing that we wish the venue did have was a room for the groom/groomsmen to get ready.
