Travel
Being that we both have family roots in Iowa, Conrad was a natural wedding destination centered in-between. You will find the nearest hotel accommodations are in Marshalltown (16 miles from venue), while the closest airport can be found in Des Moines (DSM - 74 miles from venue).
Although we have not reserved any hotel blocks, we recommend the below options for lodging in Marshalltown. (Unfortunately, we have found out the Holiday Inn Express may not be done with renovations until after the wedding.) Please reach out to us directly if you run into trouble booking.
Keep an eye out on your Facebook as a private group has been created to help link folks up to communicate trip planning. Whether you want to share a rental car with someone landing at a similar time, snag a ride over to Conrad from the hotel, or just hype up the crowd leading up to the event - you'll find us and some wedding friends waiting to hear from you on there!
