While the dress code is black tie optional, we kindly encourage our guests to wear black to add to the elegance of the evening.

Yes! It is actually preferred that our guests are in black, as this creates a classy and uniform look for photos. The wedding party will be wearing black, and we encourage you to do so too.

Please arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the ceremony start time to find parking and your seat. The ceremony will begin at 5:00pm, so plan to arrive by 4:30pm. Once the ceremony begins, entrance will not be granted until the ceremony is complete.

In order to keep our wedding as intimate as possible, only the guests formally invited on your wedding invitation will be accommodated. All expected guests will appear when you RSVP.

The ceremony and reception will both be held inside The Monroe.

Both the ceremony and reception are located at The Monroe. The address is 1805 90th St, West Des Moines, IA 50266.

We would love to have everyone celebrate with us at the reception, but due to limited seating, we cannot accommodate children during the ceremony.
