We used the Graduate as a host hotel for our wedding, and they were great to work with. Our guests loved the Iowa themed atmosphere and it was so convenient to be right in the heart of downtown Iowa city!

We got married in October and booked a hotel block for our wedding and also booked Poindexter’s Coffee Shop for our rehearsal dinner. Maria and Callie were so helpful during the entire process. All of our guests loved the hotel and we heard so many compliments on the rooms. We booked the Executive Suite and it was so cute! We loved the uniqueness of the whole hotel. Poindexter’s Coffee Shop was a perfect spot for our rehearsal dinner and all of our guests loved the food and atmosphere. We would highly recommend working with the Graduate for any events.
