Willow on Grand

Willow on Grand is a Des Moines venue for weddings, private celebrations and other gatherings. Its indoor Grand Room offers 5,000 square feet of flexible space and can host up to 300 guests. The room’s adaptable layout allows organisers to arrange it for ceremonies, dinners, receptions or other event formats. For celebrations that call for fresh air, the outdoor courtyard can be used for ceremonies, photographs and drinks with guests, with decorative lighting adding to the setting after dark.

The Cottage provides a private place for a bridal party to get ready, and it can also be hired for smaller events and celebrations. Couples can hold their ceremony and reception at the same address, while organisers planning other occasions can make use of the venue’s indoor and outdoor areas. The venue is suited to weddings, rehearsal dinners, parties and business functions.

Practical facilities include on-site parking, accessible bathrooms, a catering preparation kitchen, a projector and screen, and an indoor and outdoor sound system. Tables, chairs and tablecloths are provided, with additional tabletop items available to hire. Organisers can choose from bar packages and work with caterers from the venue’s preferred list, or bring other insured vendors. Venue staff are available on the event day to assist with venue-related needs. Willow on Grand also offers full, partial and day-of planning services for an additional fee, giving clients the option to arrange extra support. With a flexible layout and distinct spaces for different parts of an event, the venue can accommodate both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations.
