The Rewind was the perfect location for our reception. The staff was so easy to work with and was very responsive to everything. The food was wonderful. The presidential suit was the perfect place for the girls to get ready and for the bridal party to hangout while we did couple photos. They had many items that we were able to use, meaning we had to bring less decorations. We also had our rehearsal dinner at The Rewind. They set up everything and it was beautiful. I only have good things to say about my experience with The Rewind!!

The Prelude 

5.0

New Virginia, IA
  • Up to 165 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $6,500

prel·ude noun "An introductory performance, action, or event preceding a more important one." The Prelude was dreamed up by a couple who craved a feeling they had only experienced in far off lands and story books - They knew there were others out there who dreamed of running away to places that gave them that whimsical feeling again but couldn't see themselves ever doing it - So they decided to create a place that brought that whimsy and feeling to them - The result is one of the best & most unique venues in Central Iowa, located just 30 minutes south of Des Moines. The Prelude is for authentic people who crave a romantic dream from a vanished age. The Prelude isn't only a place that should be seen - It should be experienced.

  • Provides setup and cleanup

  • Picturesque garden backdrop

We hosted my son's wedding at the Prelude and the entire experience could not have gone better. The venue is breathtaking! The view from The Prelude makes one feel like they're enjoying a Tuscan Vista. It was a wonderful backdrop for their art deco inspired theme. Ashley and Nathanael are the most attentive, detail oriented, and helpful hosts. Once the family and wedding party arrived, everyone was able to relax and enjoy the experience as Ashley and Nathanael ensured everything went smoothly. I would recommend The Prelude to any couple, or anyone searching for a venue for their special event.

I'm a wedding photographer, and I recently held a styled shoot at VOWS. From beginning to end, the team at VOWS was a dream to work with. Not only are the people lovely, but this space is simply gorgeous. The room itself is very versatile and could be set up in a million different ways, but also needs NO extra decoration for those who love a clean and modern look (like me). It's a bright, minimalist space just a few steps from some of the best restaurants, shopping, and activities in the metro and tons of parking available. The front windows let lots of natural light into the space, while the pendant lighting in the venue allows for a warm and moody feel. The moveable wall (which includes a plain white side, and a greenery side, depending on your preference) can be adjusted to divide the room or act as a backdrop that fits any size wedding day. The couples lounge is AMAZING as well, with the cutest mural of historical wedding photos that is such a fun getting ready backdrop. Can't say ENOUGH good things about VOWS, but highly recommend you check it out in person. I can't wait to shoot a wedding for future clients here!

Super helpful coordinators. We had the ceremony and reception here and it was perfect for a small to medium wedding. 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.

  • Accommodates more than 200 guests

Venue considerations

  • Lighting and sound are not included

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.

Seven Oaks helped to make our wedding experience incredible. Compared to other venues we looked at, they included so much that made our day easier. We were thrilled to be able to have our rehearsal, ceremony, and reception all in one place along with an amazing set-up for getting ready the morning of.

Clint and Yvette are the best and took what was an overwhelming time into something I could just show up to and enjoy. They took care of the decorations, flowers, day-of coordinator, ensuring everyone stuck to the schedule, and not to mention they made sure I as the bride was not overwhelmed the day-of. I'm not good with wedding stuff, but our day was beyond anything I thought I could ever pull off, but that was because I had the best there is to pull it together. I just described and showed pictures of what I liked, and they took it from there. You have experts for so many facets of your life, having one for wedding is no different and worth every penny.
