About This Vendor

Contemporary downtown venue in fine arts building

The Big Room is conveniently located in a vibrant area of downtown Des Moines, close to many hotels, restaurants and attractions. The space is 4650 square feet featuring 12 foot high ceilings and an expansive, light-filled industrial environment with additional atrium and meeting room options. Depending on your seating style, the room accommodates 250-300 guests. The beauty of this space is that it can be transformed to reflect your unique style. Included in the rental for your wedding is a private room for the use of the bridal party and all tables and chairs. The space is yours from 9:00 am on the day of your wedding until midnight. The room is available for both ceremony and reception. Arrangements can be made for rehearsal and post-wedding events. The Tangerine Food Company is the exclusive provider of food and beverage. Information about menus and additional services is available on our website (www.tangerinefoodco.com). We are a part of Mainframe Studios, a nonprofit organization providing permanent, affordable workspaces for artists of all disciplines, working to make Central Iowa’s art scene on the best in the nation. Many of the artists in the building offer photographic services, invitation and printing services, DJ services and jewelry fabrication. The glass blower on site offers special sessions to create a once in a lifetime memento of your union. We invite you to explore all the building has to offer.

The Big Room at Mainframe Studios Reviews

Reviewed On 3/11/2021 by Kim B
We loved The Big Room! We were able to hold both our wedding and reception in the room, with the staff readying the room for the latter during a cocktail hour in the atrium. We were able to bring in beautiful decor that highlighted the fabulous...
windows in the room—a definite chic industrial vibe and our guests loved visiting the artist studios before festivities started. Tangerine’s catering was perfect, of course; our guests continue to rave. In all, the location and catering far exceeded our expectations!!
Reviewed On 3/09/2021 by Laurie W
Simply put-this is absolutely THE BEST SPOT for your wedding/reception/rehearsal dinner, etc! We did it all here and honestly I would not change a thing. Everything was gorgeous. There were NO snaffus of any kind. The personnel working through...
out were top notch. And the FOOD!!!! Oh my gosh, it was SUPERB!! We literally had people from various parts of the country AND Singapore at our event and to this day everyone comments on how delicious everything was!!!! This group is so easy to work with, so professional and generally so very kind. I would have all my events here!! Honestly just call them. You will be so glad you did!!
