Willow on Grand is a premier wedding venue in Des Moines, Iowa, offering a modern, cottage-inspired ambiance that reflects the charm of the Waterbury neighborhood. The venue features a 5,000-square-foot Grand Room with vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light, accommodating up to 300 guests. Couples can also enjoy the outdoor Courtyard, illuminated with bistro lighting, ideal for ceremonies or cocktail hours. The on-site Cottage serves as a bridal suite, complete with a private bathroom, floor-length mirror, and champagne on tap, providing a luxurious space for preparations. Conveniently located just seven minutes from downtown Des Moines, Willow on Grand offers on-site parking and a variety of bar packages, ensuring a seamless and memorable wedding experience.
We love the abundance of natural light, experienced staff, and the convenient location of Willow on Grand. There is a convenient Air BnB right next door (owned by the venue) that is perfect for additional getting ready space.
