About this venue

The Black Hawk Hotel is brimming with historic character! The Black Hawk Hotel is the second longest operating hotel in the country and features beautiful historic character that will wow your guests and be the backdrop for gorgeous photo opps. We're located in the heart of Downtown Cedar Falls, so your guests will love exploring the District's shops, bars and restaurants before and after your wedding. We are also the only locally-owned hotel the Cedar Valley, and pride ourselves on being local experts. Our guests routinely compliment our Midwestern Hospitality! We are nearly a one-stop-shop for your wedding festivities, and can check off the major services you need to host a celebration to remember. But, we don't require you use our services; just select what fits your vision. We offer rental of the lobby and bar in the historic hotel, catering services, cakes, bar service, event planning, day-of coordination, hotel room blocks, bridal/getting ready suites and honeymoon suites.

Historic Lobby and Bar Winslow

A completely customizable venue located in the heart of Downtown Cedar Falls!

The historic lobby is full of turn-of-the-century character, with original (1853) penny tile floor, beautiful restored wood columns, and a fireplace/mantle and baby grand piano as the centerpiece for gathering. The lobby flows directly into Bar Winslow, our upscale craft cocktail bar, where the vibe gets more nighttime and moody with lush velvet furniture, dim lit sconces and brass accents.
