The ceremony will begin at 4:00 PM. Feel free to arrive 15-30 minutes early to find a seat at a table of your choosing! We do not have a seating chart. Please use the entrance on the West side of the building, all the way to the right.
The ceremony, dinner, and reception will be INDOORS, all at the same location.
Please wear whatever you would be comfortable wearing to a spring/summer indoor wedding. Men: jeans are welcomed, ties optional. We love Western wear if that is your style! Our wedding will be a casual event, and we want everyone to be comfortable and have a great time. Our venue is rustic, and our color scheme is beige/sage green/mauve.
To allow our guests, including other parents, a night of relaxation and uninhibited revelry, the only children attending our wedding are those in the wedding party and immediate family. Additionally, due to limited venue space, we ask that only those named on the invitation and in the RSVP section attend. Thank you for understanding!
Yes! You can find our registry here on Zola.
Street parking is usually easier to find mid-afternoon, however, the city of Des Moines charges an hourly rate to use most of the spaces. Meter rates in the area range from $0.25 - $1.25 per hour and are in operation from 9A-9P Monday through Saturday. The Iowa Taproom does have a free public parking lot on the South side of the building (available after 5PM first-come-first-serve). Staybridge Suites and Embassy Suites have their own parking garages available for their guests (see more information about this on the Travel tab). The closest public parking garage is located at 402 E 2nd Street. You may find parking in other free/public lots. Please utilize these AT YOUR OWN DESCRETION. We cannot and will not be responsible if your car gets ticketed/towed, so please don't let that happen :) If you have other questions regarding parking, please visit https://www.dsm.city/departments/engineering_-_division/parking.php
