q & a

  • Cocktail/semi-formal attire - we love a reason to dress up! Keep it bright & colorful, it’s the middle of summer after all!

  • We recommend using metered street parking or the Nationwide Parking Ramp across the street - $2.00/hour, daily maximum of $10.00.

    Hotel guests can utilize the hotel’s valet and overnight parking for $30/night.

  • If your invitation includes a plus-one, we look forward to having them join us! Please include your guest’s name when RSVPing.

  • We will have food stations where you can walk up and choose from a variety of dishes, like tacos, sliders or pasta. Try different flavors at your own pace! If you have dietary restrictions, please let us know when you RSVP & we’ll get you covered :)

  • Yes! We'll be offering complimentary drinks until 9pm, after which the bar will transition to a cash bar. And for those who don’t drink - you know we’ll have mocktails & (free) soda!

  • Thanks for coming all this way! The whole wedding is at Hotel Fort Des Moines, so check out the hotel block tab to reserve rooms at a discounted rate :)

  • Nope!
