Perfect Wedding Venue

Country Lane Lodge was the perfect venue for our wedding! We enjoyed being able to have our ceremony and reception in one place. The venue was spacious and was able to accommodate a large number of guests. Molly was very helpful with the planning process and kept things running smoothly the day of the wedding. This venue had a perfect location close to Des Moines and the property itself made for great pictures. We would highly recommend this venue!

Dream Venue!

I feel so lucky to have found Country Lane Lodge for my wedding venue! When we toured the venue, we immediately knew that we wanted to be married there. Their outdoor ceremony area is absolutely beautiful, and was exactly what I imagined for my big day. The inside of the lodge is huge, and the chandeliers and wood really made it seem like a dream. From the beginning, they were so easy to work with. Kendra and Molly helped so much throughout the planning process - I really don’t think I could have planned it without them! They made sure that everything was in order and brought up things I would have never thought about so that the big day ran smoothly. My husband and I keep talking about how perfect our day was and how nothing went wrong, and I think a big part of that was due to Country Lane Lodge and their staff. Kendra and Molly, I can’t thank you enough for everything you did leading up to the big day and everything you did on our big day. You really helped turn everything I had dreamed my wedding would be into a reality. Thank you!
