I would recommend Carper to absolutely any bride. They were the best team to work with. Made sure everything ran smoothly & always responded back in a timely manner. They were open and honest about everything, no hidden fees or such. Being the bride and groom the day of us crazy, Tracy made sure to save us a piece of our own wedding cake so we could eat it!
WOW - Carper Winery is absolutely one of the best wedding venues in central Iowa that you could have your big day at! My mother and I visited a few other venues but as soon as we stepped foot onto the large acreage that the vineyard and winery is set on, we knew immediately this was our place. Tracy is an incredibly kind, organized, fair, and calm presence to work with both as you are preparing for your wedding and on the day of too. If you're a Type A bride who wants a venue with a highly communicative coordinator, lots of parking, and the most beautiful setting for your ceremony and reception, don't look any further!!
We absolutely loved our wedding at Carper Winery! It was such a beautiful location and they were wonderful to work with. I loved how you could use an outside caterer and customize drink packages. They were knowledgeable about all things wedding and helpful recommending other vendors. Tracy walked us through the entire process and was even there to help the ceremony processional run smoothly! Highly recommend Carper to anyone getting married!
Can't say enough about how amazing Carper Winery was for my wedding! It has so much amazing outdoor space for guests to hang out. Tracy was also great to work with! She let me come in a couple of times before the wedding for questions and was very attentive and helpful on the day of. She stepped in to help with issues and and help set up some last minute items.
We couldn't recommend Carper Winery more! Tracy was great to work with and very patient and flexible with us during COVID wedding planning. All of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was! We are so happy with how our wedding day turned out!
Love this venue! Flexible and beautiful
Beautiful venue with amazing options for photos and ceremony settings!! I highly recommend!! Tracy is great to work with and was understanding and helped in any way she could!!
We had our wedding at Carper on 8/31 and it was amazing! The booking process was super simple and Tracy was extremely flexible when it came time to tour the venue. She was also super responsive via email! The day-off was smooth and exactly how we planned it! I didn't even think twice about cocktail hour while we went on the party bus after the ceremony. Not to mention, the bar tending staff was awesome! I know our guests had an amazing time and had nothing but great things to say about the venue! Highly recommend!!!
Tracy from Carper winery was the absolute best! Her attentiono to detail and way going personality made her a joy to work with. When we booked with her in early 2018 she had many plans for the venue. She wanted to add a back deck, an d a paved pathway to the arbor. Boy did she deliver! The venue is picture perfect and was the venue of my dreams! You have access to the grounds before the wedding which allow for great photos and it is a quiet and peaceful place with amazing views! Also during the reception, Tracy really took care of the wedding party, making sure we all had drinks, food etc. Book your ceremony and reception here! You won’t be disappointed!
We just visited this venue last week, and it was beautiful! The bridal suite and groom's lounge felt like the owner's truly care about the wedding party, with the special touches that they add day-of. The building had a rustic feel with the barn, but still smelled new. The lighting hanging over the seating area (that is included with the venue) is great!
We couldn't be more grateful to have found Carper Winery. It was more that we could have imagined. We loved everything from the bride & groom's suites, the ceremony sites, the lighting. Everything was unique and so well thought out. More than that, Tracy was easy to work with and so helpful along the way!
Rustic barn venue with all the upgraded amenities
If you are even thinking about getting married, you need to check carper winery out before they are booked. Carper has a feel and look of a rustic barn with miles if open green pastures in the background but yet the inside is completely full of updated amenities. The bridal suite was a perfect place to have your bridal tean come to you. The gorgeous vaulted barn ceiling and the rustic cross cross lights makes for beautiful pictures. Also this "barn" has AC! It's amazing that other venues think you don't need AC in Iowa in the summer. The pictures possibilities are endless at this venue as well as the set up inside. It was absolutely perfect and everything I dreamed of.
Not only was the venue perfect, the staff was even more perfect. You never get that combination. I don't have enough nice words for Tracy. She was as hands on or hands off as you wanted. She was so easy to work with and was the nicest person. The bartending staff was also second to none. All my guests enjoyed them! Go check this place out for weddings, company outings, family reunions, literally anything! Also side note: they made it possible for my dad to fish on my wedding day!
Carper Vineyard was the perfect venue for our wedding. The outdoor scenery was a gorgeous backdrop for the ceremony and offered many different views for wedding pictures. The building has been finished with many unique and beautiful touches, and it offered another stunning backdrop for pictures. The setup of the location is perfect, and every detail has been planned for the bride’s and groom’s needs.
Tracy Carper was amazing to work with. She was well prepared for our needs and every part of the day ran seamlessly. She provided great recommendations of vendors where we needed and she provided creative ideas when we needed help figuring out logistics or details. The reception staff were friendly and attentive to our needs. They helped the reception to run smoothly and ensured that our wedding party and guests had a great night.
We had an amazing wedding day and would highly recommend Carper to anyone looking for the perfect location for their wedding.
