FAQs
Question
What date should I RSVP by?
Answer
Please RSVP by April 23rd. If you haven’t done so by then, we will assume you’re not coming and we will not be able to accommodate you. We have to provide our vendors with a final guest count!!
Question
I am coming from out of town - Where should I stay?
Answer
Our venue is located only a short 20 minute drive from both Osceola and Indianola making travel for both our family and friends a little easier we hope. We have reserved a few hotel blocks for the weekend and done some research on nearby campgrounds. Please find the travel tab for more information.
Question
Can I bring a plus one/Are my kids invited?
Answer
Unfortunately, we have a guest limit set by the venue. If we were able to accommodate your whole family or a plus one, your invitation will be addressed as follows: (Name) & “Family” or (Family’s Names)/“Plus One”. We are extremely thankful to have so many family and friends who we would like to celebrate our day with.
Question

Come to celebrate in cocktail attire. This could be as simple as a dress or slacks/jeans with a nice shirt. No need for anything over the top fancy, unless you’d like to dress up then feel free!
Question
Can I take photos?
Answer
Please feel free to take any photos you’d like and don’t forget to share them with us! We have hired a photographer so if you prefer to live in the moment, we will share pictures of the night once we’ve received them.
Question
What else is there to do in the area?
Answer
Our wedding will be Memorial Day weekend, I’m sure there are plenty of memorializations and other things going on in different areas. Here are some of the things I’ve found/or know of! Osceola offers the Lakeside Casino, Alley Bowl, and the Osceola Municipal Golf Course. It looks like there are numerous places in Osceola to grab a bite, one that I personally like is the Family Table Diner and I’ve heard a lot of people enjoy the buffet at the casino. Indianola does have an A&W, we love stopping there from time to time. If you’re willing to travel a little ways off the beaten path you can find an endless number of things to do in Des Moines. For more ideas please find the “Things To Do” tab.
