Please contact our wedding planner, Rachel, with all additional questions. She can be reached via text/call at (515)480-5873 or via email at rachel@whitewilloweventsia.com
We ask that you please wear formal attire for the wedding. This includes cocktail dresses for the women, & suits or dress pants & dress shirts for the men. We look forward to seeing everyone all dressed up!
Guests who are driving to the wedding may self-park at the Nationwide parking garage (located at 1100 Walnut St.) for $1/hour (which caps out at $10/day), or they can valet at the 10th St. entrance of the hotel for $33/night. There is also some street parking available, but it is limited.
If you are arriving on Saturday 8/31, you will see that check-in time & the ceremony start time are the same, 4pm. But the hotel has confirmed that they should be able to accommodate early check-in at no additional cost. They just recommend calling ahead (515)528-7733
The ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, & after party are all at the same location - Hotel Fort Des Moines. We highly recommend staying at Hotel Fort so that you can walk right from your room to the wedding. You can find the room block info on the "travel" section of our website.
No, there is not. But it is easy to get an Uber, Lyft, or taxi at the Des Moines airport. You can also rent a car at the airport if you prefer.
The ceremony is in the Wedgewood Room, located on the 2nd floor of the hotel. The cocktail hour will be right outside the room, then the reception will take place in the Grand Ballroom (also located on the 2nd floor).
Due to limited space, the only children invited are those we are closely related to. They will be included on your RSVP if they are invited.
When you RSVP, it will indicate that you received a plus one. Please include their name & dinner preferences on your RSVP. If there is not a plus one on your RSVP we ask that you do not bring one as we will be unable to accommodate them.
We ask that you please RSVP by July 31st.
