Venue Help/ Suggestions

Take a look at eventective.com

The Des Moines Beach Park house is gorgeous! Plus cheaper since it is run through the parks department and allows you more flexibility with vendors.

I would recommend looking at non-traditional venues like parks or recreational centers. Not sure why you've waited so long because 90 days really isn't a lot of time to plan an entire wedding.

Thank you for your suggestions. I will definitely look into some non-traditional venues.

To answer your question. My fiancé proposed to me in Aug 2020 and we were planning a larger traditional Indian wedding set to happen in India later this year. But with added travel restrictions and new visa rules, last month we had to take the difficult decision to postpone our Indian wedding. And we decided to do a super small intimate ceremony here in the US this summer. Giving us around 90 days to plan a wedding.

I know it isn't enough but with COVID that is something we are having to adjust and do with. Additionally, we will only be having 20 of our close friends who stay in the same state, and its going to be a super informal event. Just want something memorable to remember the day by.

You could also try finding a cool Airbnb that allows events.

My friend got married a few years ago at the Golden Gardens Bathhouse. It was beautiful and convenient for guests. It is smaller though so depending on how many guests you're planning to have it might not be an option.

Sorry... Idk why the picture didn't post. This is not my picture but one off Google so you can see what it looks like.

I am actually getting married at Des Moines Beach Park next year. Depending on your size the dining hall there is beautiful and it’s such a great waterfront location.

Oh, that's amazing. Thank you. The venue does look beautiful. We'll be having around 30 people at the wedding. So not a lot. I'll look into it the venue website and other details.

Oh, that's amazing. Congratulations!!! We will be having somewhere around 30 people for the event. So not a lot. We are going to be deciding between Maplehurst Farms and Des Moines Beach Park soon. Will keep you updated.
