I got married at Sacred Willow Farms on 11/16/24 and it was the best day ever. Alyssa and Aaron (event coordinator and owner) go above and beyond to help make your day perfect! If I asked for it, they made it happen. They were so helpful and easy to work with the whole 10 months of planning. I even created my own floor plan, they tried it out to make sure it worked and it did! I wanted a mobile bar for cocktail hour and they made it happen! Day of I needed my arch flowers hung and Aaron stepped into action and just did it for me! Didn’t even have to question anything! They just made things happens! Not to mention the venue itself is beautiful! Perfect location right outside of Des Moines for a country feel, but yet only about 15 minutes back to Des Moines. If you want a beautiful wedding venue… don’t hesitate and booked Sacred Willow Farms! I am so so so glad I did!

If you are looking for a venue I highly recommend Sacred Willow Farms in Prairie City. I got married there this past weekend.
I had the full weekend rental. I was able to have access to the venue at 10am Friday to set up, till 8pm Friday and hold my rehearsal dinner at the venue. Saturday we were there from 8:30am-11:30pm. Then came back Sunday morning to pick up our stuff.
Their staff was AMAZING! They truly care about the brides vision and want to make sure your day is what you want. They were so helpful the entire weekend. They condensed all of our stuff to one table so Sunday morning we just had to pack stuff up into boxes, and load it. Took us less than an hour.
Aaron and Alyssa were our two main points of contact, and I could go on and on about both of them. Our day truly wouldn’t have been possible without them, they were amazing! They will let you customize your layout of the room. Round tables, long tables, head table on a brick wall? wooden wall? white wall? drape backdrop? They will literally make it happen. While I didn’t utilize this service, they also offer a full rental option, and will also do your decor for you so you don’t have to worry about it! Alyssa runs the decor side of things, and again could go on and on about how great she was to work with!
Full Bride and Groom suite, the suites lock after guests arrive so no one can access those rooms without a code. Groom suite has gaming system with flat screen TV which our guys LOVED. (We got married during a “GREAT” UFC card 🙄)
I would highly recommend them!
PS: For food we had lincoln club and they were SO good. All our guests raved about our food.
Our photographer was Brooke with Eden Lane Creative Co. and we absolutely LOVED working with her for both our engagement and wedding photos

We recently had our wedding at Sacred Willow farms this month and had a great experience! They truly made wedding planning a much easier process and helped along the way. Alyssa had great communication and was quick to respond and help with any questions along the way. There is no need for a wedding planner when you book here. The staff went above and beyond to set up everything for us and they even have decorations for rent that they set up for us ready to go for our big day. Above all of that, the venue itself really is beautiful and perfect for pictures. We had a warm sunny day and the reception inside was nice and cool. We highly recommend Sacred Willow Farms to anyone looking for a venue!
