Completely refreshed in 2024, Elmwood’s event spaces now feature bright, modern finishes while preserving the warmth and charm of our original architecture.

Marshalltown also offers a variety of comfortable lodging options, making it easy for out-of-town guests to join the celebration.
With seating for up to 250 guests and a dedicated team of event professionals, Elmwood provides everything you need to make your day seamless.
