Question

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Black-tie optional: suit and tie for men; nice dresses for women (knee length and lower). No jeans, khaki pants, polos shirts, t-shirts, or shorts.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Our room block is held at the West Des Moines Marriott, which is only a 5 minute drive from the reception venue. We recommend booking through the room block to enjoy the extra amenities for our group. A shuttle service will be available to take people from the reception back to the hotel. We have prepared a block of rooms which include free breakfast at the hotel. By using our room block, you'll have access to the breakfast buffet and 24-hour access to the ground floor club lounge for refreshments. Reserve your room by May 7th, 2025 (Room Block Link: https://www.marriott.com/event-reservations/reservation-link.mi?id=1730312347551&key=GRP&guestreslink2=true).

Question

Is there a shuttle service available?

Answer

There will be a shuttle service offered from Des Moines Golf back to the West Des Moines Marriott. The shuttle will make continuous trips between 9:30pm - 11:30pm (i.e. the last shuttle will leave DMGCC at 11:30pm). We are unable to provide shuttle transport to the ceremony or between the ceremony and reception.

Question

How do I get in to the ceremony building?
