Madrid, IA, is home to Eagles Ledge, a stunning barn-style wedding venue. This property seamlessly blends country charm with contemporary luxury and is conveniently located within 20 minutes of Des Moines and Ames. Owners John and Heidi Baratta invite you to host the wedding of your dreams with beautiful surroundings, modern amenities, and exceptional services.
Eagles Ledge is set in a picturesque location, overlooking lush greenery and a lovely pond. The venue’s exterior retains a classic barn shape but is elevated to exude contemporary opulence with sleek black cladding and a gorgeous covered area lit with fairy lights. The interior can comfortably accommodate up to 420 guests. Slanted, cathedral-like ceilings give the space an airy, elegant feel, and oversized windows flood the room with natural light. An incredible chandelier adorns the ceiling, adding a lavish touch, and the room’s neutral color scheme acts as the perfect blank canvas for your flowers and décor. You and your partner can relax and get ready in the venue’s two dressing rooms, which feature wide-span mirrors and comfortable seating as you prepare for the day’s festivities. The venue’s grounds offer ample photo opportunities - feel free to wander with your photographer and find the perfect shot.
The team at Eagles Ledge wants to help ensure your wedding day is an utterly unforgettable event, and they’re here to help. They offer comprehensive wedding packages to suit your needs, which include tables, chairs, and set-up services. For an additional fee, you will be provided with glassware, dinnerware, and silverware. The team offers full bar services and in-house catering for your convenience, though you’re also welcome to hire your own caterer if desired.

We had the most AMAZING & BEAUTIFUL wedding last weekend! Heidi and her crew were truly so organized, helpful, and experienced at what they do. Heidi goes above and beyond to help you leading up to the big day, throughout the the entire weekend, and then some. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful venue or experienced and kind people to work with. We had the best wedding here!

The perfect wedding venue! My wife and I loved every bit of planning and working with Heidi at Eagles Ledge. Heidi was extremely helpful in keeping us on track for our big day and her flexibility for the bar, menu, and all the other small details made our day absolutely perfect. Heidi broke down every little detail for us which helped our day go by without any hiccups. The Bridal and Groomsmen suites were the perfect spaces for our groups to relax and get ready for our ceremony. The large patio area created a relaxed environment for folks to step outside to talk in a quieter setting and the dance floor inside was more than large enough for everyone to enjoy the reception. Dinner was fantastic and very easy to coordinate with Heidi regarding our menu and dietary restrictions for some of our guests. The whole experience was extremely stress free (or as stress free as a wedding day can be). Would highly recommend this venue!
