Nothing but 5 stars for Eagles Ledge, Lincoln Club Catering, and their entire staff! We had our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception in May 2026 at Eagles Ledge and were blown away by how smoothly our wedding day went. Heidi is extremely responsive to questions, open to your ideas, and will make sure your wedding is executed to your vision to the best of her ability! We used their in house caterer as well, and received so many compliments. I’d encourage anyone to take the time to tour Eagles Ledge and chat with Heidi if looking for a wedding venue.
If you've visited Eagle's Ledge you know how beautiful the property is! The outdoor ceremony area and barn are so pretty on their own, you don't have to stress about filling the space with decor. The whole experience of getting married at such an amazing venue is only made better by Heidi and her crew. They were so accommodating and helpful every step of the way. Heidi was always happy to answer my many questions and her team helped make our day perfect. We absolutely loved our experience at Eagle's Ledge!

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.
