Salisbury House & Gardens 

5.0

Des Moines, IA
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Select 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.

“My husband and I only have good things to say about choosing Baqara for our wedding venue. It is a beautiful venue inside and outside and we loved that we were able to have both the ceremony and reception in one place. Yvette is truly remarkable at what she does. She listened to what we wanted, gave ideas when we weren’t sure what we wanted, was available to answer questions throughout the whole planning process and she took the reigns on wedding day to ensure we got to enjoy every moment of our special day. If we had our wedding all over again we would still choose Baqara!”
