Is there a dress code?
We would love to see our friends and family get dressed up with us! Our dress code is cocktail attire. No jeans, please! Ceremony will be held outside.
Can I bring a plus one?
Due to limited capacity of our venue, we are unable to accommodate plus ones unless specifically indicated on your envelope. For example, if you have a plus one, your address will be listed as "Mr./Miss XYZ and Guest." If you are confused, when you RSVP and type in your name, you will see if you have a plus one! We want everyone to share in the celebration and this will ensure that we are surrounded by our close friends and family! We hope you understand!
What time should I arrive for the ceremony?
The ceremony will start promptly at 4:30 PM. We ask that you arrive 15-20 minutes before!
What's the bar situation?
We will provide an open bar with the following choices to select from; Vodka, Whiskey, Busch Light, Michelob, Blue Moon, Carbliss, & Nutrl. We will also provide lemonade and water for non-alcoholic options!
Where do I park?
Entering Barnes Place, there are signs to follow to park your vehicle. Walk up to the building and following the signs to the ceremony to pick your seat!
Is there a hotel nearby or hotel block booked?
The bride and groom do have a hotel block at The Hampton Inn Hotel in West Des Moines 7060 Lake Drive (first come first serve). Our #1 priority is having our guests avoid unsafe situations. If you are planning on drinking and do not wish to stay in a hotel, there are plenty of Uber, Lyft or other ride share options to utilize!
Is the wedding inside or outside?
Weather permitting, the ceremony and reception will take place outdoors. Dinner will be inside.
Is smoking allowed?
Our venue is a smoke free facility/property. If guests choose to ignore the NO SMOKING policy, the bride and groom will be charged as this classifies as damaging the property.
