Nope! Since the venue is 45 mins south of Des Moines and the wedding hotels, we wanted to make sure that our guests have a safe and fun way to travel to and from the venue. If you would like to drive, that option is available for you! At the end of the night if you feel more comfortable taking the buses home, your car is safe at the venue over night. You’ll just have to arrange how to get it Saturday am
Totally up to you! We would love to continue celebrating with everyone through Saturday night in and around Des Moines! The Iowa State fair will be happening over our wedding weekend, we highly recommend checking it out on Saturday. Weston & I will probably head down there Saturday night!
The dress code is cocktail attire! Just make sure you wear something comfy enough to dance the night away 💃🏻🕺🏻
Weather permitting, almost everything will be outdoors! The ceremony will be out in the yard by the grape vines. You’ll have the run of the venue during the cocktail hour, enjoy it! Dinner and dancing will take place in the historic barn and under the covered deck.
Please arrive no later than 5:15 pm! We would love to start the wedding right at 5:30 so that will give everyone ample time to use the restroom and find their seats before everything starts!
The first shuttle will leave the hotels at 4 pm and the second two shuttles will leave at 4:10/4:15 to go straight to the venue. Heading back to Des Moines, the first shuttle will leave the venue around 9 pm. The second shuttle will leave at 10:30 pm and the last and final shuttle will leave at 11:45 pm. Please make sure that you are on one of these shuttles if you do not intend to drive. There will be no ubers to pick people up!
Yes! Please help us document the big day using our wedding hastag, #RaiseaGlasstotheRogers We do ask that phones stay away during the ceremony so everyone can be fully present in the moment. After we say our “I Do’s”, feel free to snap away!
We have two registries on our website! One is the Zola registry and it has a collection of home goods, adventure essentials, and cash funds for our honeymoon and home. The second registry is from our favorite local kitchen store in Des Moines, Kitchen Collage!
