    It was great getting to work with Cortney, Robert and the rest of the team at Des Moines Beach Park Event Center! They were easy to work with, responsive to our needs and answered all the questions we had regarding the venue. They followed up with us in a timely manner and followed through on what was needed for our wedding vision. We found their venue to be absolutely beautiful and it brought the vision of an outdoor/indoor wedding to life! We recommend this venue to everyone in need of an outdoor space or a combination of outdoor and indoor settings for a wedding. The team was wonderful to work with overall!

  • Such a beautiful venue!
