Question

Is there a shuttle to and from?

Answer

There is a shuttle running from AC Hotel in East Village to Willow on Grand that holds 10 people from 7 AM- 11:30 PM. It will be able to make a few trips specifically before cocktail hour. It is also able to run to and from the airport. Contact AC Hotel (info under travel tab) if needing to make a specific request. We will have a larger bus at the end of the night for transportation back to the hotel. Transportation from ceremony in Ankeny to Des Moines is on your own!

Absolutely! Willow on Grand has 60 parking spaces available to guests along with 2 neighboring lots (to the south and east of the space). Please be mindful if street parking of residents nearby or other businesses.
