We are asking guests to dress up for the special occasion and wear cocktail or formal attire! Examples include suits for men and mid-to-floor length dresses or jumpsuits for women.
Can I Bring a Plus One?
Due to limited capacity at our reception venue, we are only able to accommodate those formally invited. If you received a plus one, it will be listed when you RSVP.
What Should I Do Between The Ceremony and Reception?
Our ceremony takes place at 1:30 and our cocktail hour begins at 4:30, so there will be a couple hours of time for guests to either enjoy a local bar or simply relax! Some of our favorite bars in the area are the Proudfoot & Bird Bar (located just next to Hotel Fort Des Moines) for a cocktail, Big Grove Brewery for a beer, and the Cave for an intimate wine setting. We also love Winchester and The Hall in Valley Junction, as well as Republic in the East Village!
Can I Bring My Children With Me?
While we love spending time with all the special kiddos in our lives, we are requesting that this wedding be an adults-only event!
Where is parking located for guests staying at Hotel Fort Des Moines?
Guests can valet for $33/night or $18/daily. Self parking is $10/day in the Nationwide parking garage located at 1100 Walnut St, right behind the hotel!
