Q + A

How & When To RSVP?

To RSVP, please click the RSVP tab here on our website and type in your name. All invited guests in your party will appear here - please mark each guest as "attending" or "declining." Please RSVP no later than August 1, 2024. All RSVP's received after this date will be marked as declined as we have a head count deadline for our vendors.

Is there a dress code?

We would love to see our friends and family get all dressed up for our big day! We kindly ask you to dress in semi formal attire. *Please no jeans/denim pants*

Will there be transportation?

We want all of our guests to get home safe. For guests in our room block, there will be a shuttle available between the AC Marriott hotel and Willow on Grand throughout the day until 11pm. This can be arranged through the front desk of the hotel. Otherwise, please arrange for a safe ride home.

Are kids invited?

We do love our little ones! However, we have decided to keep our ceremony and reception an adults-only event with the exception to immediate family. We encourage you to use this evening as a "night out" for yourselves!

May I bring a guest?

Due to the size of our venue we are only able to accommodate the ones who are listed on your invitation. Please reach out to us if you have any questions.

May I take photos?

We are having an "unplugged" ceremony (no phones or cameras please.) We have hired a professional to capture this special moment for us. So please allow them to do their best work. After the ceremony, feel free to take as many photos and videos as you'd like!

Am I required to book with only your hotel block?

As our guests, you are absolutely NOT obligated to stay at our chosen hotel! AC Marriott (See Travel tab) works specifically with our venue and will provide transportation to and from the venue, which is why it is our preferred location. Willow on Grand is located centrally between both downtown and West Des Moines. While the bridal party will likely be downtown, feel free to make reservations wherever you prefer!

Where to park?

There will be parking on site at Willow on Grand. Overflow parking will be in the law firm parking lot next door.
