Question

Where do I park?

Answer

Ceremony Parking: Free parking is available on-site at the ceremony venue (Des Moines Art Center) Reception Parking: Paid street parking is available surrounding the reception venue (Secret Admirer in Downtown Des Moines). Alternatively, we also recommend parking in the nearby Science Center of Iowa paid parking garage located at the corner of SW 4th St & Market St (hourly and daily rates available). If you are staying at the Hotel Fort Des Moines, it is a 10-minute walk from the reception venue.

Question

Can I have a plus one?

Answer

Our venue space is very limited. Because of this, we sadly can't allow all our guests to bring a plus one. You can only bring a plus one if that person is indicated on your invite. If you aren't sure, then check your RSVP on this website. For example, if you are allowed a plus one, their name should pop up when you search for yours and vice versa. It may also say "Guest", in which case you'll be asked to fill in their name.

Question

Are kids allowed?

Answer

Since our reception is being hosted at a bar, this is an adults only event (18+).
