Hannah was amazing at the Venue at St Charles. The location was perfect. She was quick to reply to any questions. Made it easy to plan and help keep every organized. I couldn’t have made it through the wedding without her! From actually planning, to setting up during the day she made as stress less as possible.

We were married at the Vineyard 8/23/24. Everything was beautiful and Hannah is amazing to work with. Loved the bridal and groom suit for both parties to get ready in. Lots of different locations on the property to take beautiful picture as well! Close to the Des Moines, IA area. Communication with Hannah was amazing. Their wedding planning portal helped me so much to keep things in order!

For the price we paid and everything that was included, I would recommend this venue to anyone! Hannah was so wonderful to work with and went the extra mile to make sure my husband and I had the wedding we wanted. The venue offers some of their own things which gave us peace of mind in knowing we had some things provided and it was less we had to worry about. The venue is well taken care of and the landscaping outside along with the vineyard is absolutely beautiful as well!

Our wedding at The Vineyard at St. Charles was a very special day. The venue's serene beauty, with its lush vineyards and elegant charm, provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. You can really tell the grounds are well maintained and that the ownership really cares about this space.
The main event space exuded warmth and charm with its tasteful decor. The outdoor ceremony area, set against the picturesque vineyards, created a romantic setting for our vows.
The staff were excellent. Hannah ensured everything ran smoothly, which allowed us to enjoy our day without worry. The bridal suite was spacious and luxurious and was really what sold us on this as our wedding venue.
The Vineyard at St. Charles exceeded our expectations with its stunning setting and impeccable service. It is the perfect choice for a memorable and elegant wedding.

Beautiful Venue! We did a winter wedding at The Vineyard and it was so wonderful. The bridal suite is to die for and the indoor aesthetic was exactly what we wanted...clean, warm and modern. Our coordinator, Hannah, was so on top of everything. She took care of everything so we could enjoy the day. We loved the process and would recommend The Vineyard to anyone who wants to relax and let others do the work on their wedding day!

What a wonderful venue for a wedding! Everything was gorgeous and well thought out. It was a beautiful area surrounding the building that I would love to see during the summer. The layout worked really well and there was plenty of room to move around. So appreciated the close parking as well. Would love to come back again!
